While reviewing his gallery, we were drawn to the fact that his photos were full of joy and vibrant colors. Additionally, his photo captions conveyed that he had a sense of humor, which we appreciate since my husband and I don't like to take ourselves that seriously. Unfortunately, he was already booked for our wedding date, so we were thrilled to finally get the opportunity to work with him this time around. Russ was very responsive via email and easy to communicate with. We didn't have a specific location picked out, so Russ was able to offer multiple suggestions for locations close to us that matched the vibe we were looking for. Just as we'd hoped, he was personable and had a great sense of humor, which made the session fun and eased how awkward we often feel in front of the camera. While our session was only about an hour, Russ produced hundreds of gorgeous photos to choose from. Narrowing them down to our top picks was insanely difficult! We were surprised how quickly he got us our final edits considering how he must be elbow deep in wedding season right now. We're so glad that our already high expectations for Russ were met and would wholeheartedly recommend him!

Choosing Russ Levi Photography was, without question, the best decision we made for our wedding…read more Russ and his wonderful wife Alex are an incredible team. Watching them work together is something special--they are both so respectful, supportive, and talented in their own unique ways. Their partnership brings such a calm, positive energy that made the entire experience feel effortless. Our journey with them began during our engagement session in San Francisco, and it was truly magical. Russ captured my husband and me in such a genuine way--our joy, excitement, and the love we felt as we prepared to start the next chapter of our lives together. He has such a natural gift for making you feel comfortable in front of the camera. Instead of posing us endlessly, he simply encouraged us to enjoy each other's company, laugh, and be ourselves. Because of that, every photo feels authentic and full of life. When our wedding day arrived, Russ and Alex captured it even more beautifully than we could have imagined. They didn't just photograph the big moments--they noticed and preserved the little details, the laughter of our guests, the quiet emotional moments, and all the small things that made the day so meaningful. Looking through our photos feels like reliving the entire day again. From our very first meeting to the wedding itself, every interaction with Russ and Alex was warm, kind, and genuinely fun. They care deeply about their couples and it truly shows in their work. Your photographer is one of the most important decisions you will make for your wedding day, and we feel incredibly grateful that we chose Russ Levi Photography. If you are considering them, don't hesitate--you will absolutely treasure the memories they capture for you.

He gave me awesome tips for the day of the shoot that I would have NEVER thought of (outfit ideas, etc.), and he was so collaborative and honest with his feedback during the session. I felt safe that he was really and truly trying to get the best shot possible in regards to color choices against my skin, glasses vs. no glasses, stuff I don't ever think about and can't really see as the person in the frame. During the session he let me see previews, explained everything he was doing, and really made me feel a part of the process. He got me giggling and took an AMAZING shot of my dorky laugh, which he edited and let me keep because he's a Super Sweet Amazingpants McGee. I've gotten compliments already on my fresh headshot; no stuffy corporate looks here. He's all about human, genuine, professional images. I can't thank him enough for that; stuffy isn't my bag, and he totally gets it. Why are you still reading this?! Go schedule a session!! :)

My cropped out home photos that I'd been using were clearly not going to cut it. In a panic I scoured the internet and came across Brian's work. He managed to book me in at short notice and gave me tons of good advice in preparing. The shoot itself was a lot of fun, and it really felt like we we collaborating together to get the perfect headshot. His photos were instantly loaded up onto a computer screen so we could scroll through and tag the good ones together and change looks and outfits. Brian made me feel very relaxed and comfortable. After the session was over, he worked on a very tight timeline to get me the processed photos before my deadline. Attached are a couple of the final results - my badass bitch look, and my more approachable look. I couldn't be happier with them!

Ethan is amazing!!! I get so many compliments on our prewedding photos to this day! It has been…read morealmost 3 years since our wedding, yet I still have the photos plastered all over my house and social media pages. They're TOO GOOD not to share. Where to begin? Well the initial consultation was quick and painless. My husband and I are incredibly indecisive people, yet Ethan was able to give us choices that satisfied everything we could've imagined. The experience was amazing. We went to four different locations in the span of one day, each location being unique and equally beautiful. My husband and I are also very VERY shy people. Yet Ethan was able to somehow bring out the best of us. (Want to know what it's like being a celebrity? I would highly recommend doing prewedding pictures. I remember a little girl asked to take a picture with the princess. So cute! Many other people congratulated us during the shoots.) Other than Ethan's professional experience with photo-taking, he is also an amazing editor. I'm definitely on the rounder side, so I asked Ethan to help shave off some pounds. I was so worried that I would end up looking unnatural, but I also didn't want to look like an overweight bride. Let me tell you, I COULD NOT be any happier with how the photos turned out! I look like the best me! Hubby also looking hella fineeeee. Everything was more than I could ever hope for. Thus, if you're shopping around for a photographer, look no further! He got packages for all budgets. I promise he will be the best decision you'll make for your wedding.

I had Ethan at my wedding this past February and he was awesome. Arrived on time, got great shots of the venue as well as our photos. He meshed well with my quirky family & friends.

Super professional with amazing work and 100% worth it.

Every review gave this company 5 stars so I decided to check it out. I couldn't be any happier with my decision. Johnny is a super nice guy and is very professional. He has been doing head shots for over 15 years and really knows his trade. In less than an hour Johnny took over 350 pics of me at which point we downloaded the pics onto his p.c. and then reviewed all the different shots. If I didn't find any of the pictures to my satisfaction, he was willing to take another set of shots. However, the pics were great, so he put them on a disc and I was on my way. I recommend his services highly.

Last, but not least, he was great in the end in helping us put together a package within our budget and even following up on doing a last minute touch up after we already placed our order.

Jamie came to my office in San Francisco's financial district, with all his gear, right on time, took many shots of me in various poses, made me feel totally comfortable, and we had agreed upon very reasonable pricing for the quality and convenience. Within a week, I had 40 professional shots to choose from that were loaded for me to digitally download, and I instantly connected with many of the shots sufficiently to immediately load my favorites to various locations, including our internal corporate website, various internal corporate presentations, and external professional social media sites. Could not be more pleased. Thanks, Jamie!

I was able to download all in high resolution and web resolution for easy use. He provided several retouches and black/white photos that were visually stunning. I am excited to work with him again soon and would recommend everyone works with Jamie.

From the very…read morebeginning, she made us feel completely comfortable--her calming, friendly presence helped us relax and truly enjoy the experience. Meg captured the day beautifully on both digital and film, and the results are absolutely stunning. Her eye for light, detail, and timing is incredible. What we loved most is how she was able to capture so many spontaneous moments of joy and genuine emotion--photos that truly reflect how the day felt, not just how it looked. She was professional, responsive, and blended seamlessly into the day, always present but never intrusive. We're so grateful for the memories she preserved and will cherish these images for a lifetime. We wholeheartedly recommend Meg to any couple looking for a photographer who is both talented and wonderful to be around!

But the quality of the photographs only scratches the surface. Meg is so kind, so professional, and goes the extra mile at literally every step. For example, my heart was set on engagement photos in front of the Golden Gate Bridge, but Karl the Fog had other ideas during our scheduled session. To make my dreams come true, Meg graciously offered to reschedule, even though we were already all dressed up and had already dragged her out to Baker Beach. She always put us first and did everything possible (apart from actually changing weather) to make sure my husband and I were beyond thrilled with our photos, whether it was giving advice on angles and outfits, helping us select prints for our album, or tirelessly making edits to an unruly updo. My husband, who notoriously hates photos of himself, is in love with the galleries. I should also add that Meg is simply wonderful to be around. She instantly put us at ease and genuinely radiates warmth and kindness. I can't recommend her highly enough and am already cooking up future events in my head just for the chance to hire her again. You will not be disappointed.
