I rarely like photos of myself but loved the finished product! It was incredible that such a brief, easy 30-min session (and one booked last minute besides!) could yield so many amazing shots (that were delivered within days! I did the rush option). Not only were the photos spectacular, Hilary was also just truly such a joy to be around during the shoot - can't wait to recommend her to everyone I know looking for a photographer!!

We've had annual family photo sessions with Hilary for the past five years (and even two sessions…read morein one year!), and she has been phenomenal every single time. She's wonderful with our kids--whether it was a newborn, a fussy toddler, or now more cooperative school-aged kids, she's been able to capture beautiful moments through every stage. One year my younger daughter was especially shy and grumpy about photos, but you'd never know it from the gorgeous images Hilary delivered. She's also great with pets and even got our dog to "smile" at the camera for a few shots this year! We included my parents in a session one year, and Hilary handled the larger family group seamlessly. She also has a great eye for locations, whether it's a tried-and-true spot or somewhere new, and she always makes the most of the setting. On top of that, her pricing is very reasonable, especially since you get to keep all the images from your session, and she's always prompt with delivery. Hilary makes family photos stress-free and fun, and the results are consistently stunning--we look forward to working with her every year.

Norm's skills are vast - from posed family group portraits, to a close up of the child at the torah, to the exuberance of 13-year olds dancing their hearts out - Norm is able to get it all. He has talent and experience. Norm also has amazing equipment that makes it possible to get shots like a close-up of the rabbi whispering in the child's ear from completely across the synagogue. Norm provides a set of "top-ten" photos usually within 24 hours which you can use on social media, and follows up with full resolution CDs pretty quickly. Norm offers a full menu of services, including working with you to create a photo book to forever preserve your family simcha. I recommend Norm for capturing the best moments of any special occasion!

I hire photographers for professional events and have a good sense of what I want. From the moment he setup, Norm never stopped shooting. The deluge of photos he delivered to me was spectacular. He captured special moments, gorgeous architecture, and many many photos of our guests. Because there were so many photos the occasional poor facial expression or closed eyes, that are beyond his control, were not a problem because there were always alternates. While it's not how he normally wants to work, he was also flexible in being booked late in the process. I would definitely hire him again.

We knew we loved Jake from our first family shoot with him when our toddler took off the clothes…read morewe'd picked out for the day and started running around the beach in his underwear- Jake was completely unfazed. He did an amazing job of making our kids feel comfortable and drawing out their personalities in photos. He reminded my partner and I to take moments as a couple, and captured all of our relationships beautifully amidst the toddler chaos. When Jake later photographed our wedding he continued to remind us to take moments together and was attuned to everyone, which is why I think so many of his photos capture connection and don't feel staged. We told Jake we cared most about candid moments/relationships in our photos, and he absolutely delivered. We got so much positive feedback from our family and wedding party about how comfortable Jake made them feel. He is professional and comes with a clear plan for the day based on your input, but also brings a sense of humor and warmth that puts others at ease and helps to them to be in the moment. He discretely and thoughtfully captured the ceremony and worked the party like a team of photographers despite shooting solo that day. We love the final photos and plan to reach out in the future for family photos and other life milestones. We also had beauty with Ash and her team and could not recommend a better person for wedding glam. I was very nervous about booking this specifically because myself and the majority of my bridesmaids had shared stories about getting hair and makeup done for weddings that we ended up having to take off because it was completely overdone, or felt like we looked like strangers in photos later. I think we had 16 beauty services that day and every single person loved the finished product. Ash knew exactly what was needed for my hair and makeup to last and shine through in photos, while keeping it soft and subtle like I'd asked for. Her team asked for inspo pictures and took time to figure out what we wanted. They would check in throughout the process to see if we wanted more or less of some element. Ash was was grounding, warm, funny, and reminded me to take care of myself aka eat food. In general Love and Wolves Co bring a perfect combination of experienced and down to earth vibes. They are a dream team and pleasure to work with!

We had a blast and the photos show it. They made a slideshow of the 'greatest hits' from all of the photos they took and it was ready by the time we got back from our honeymoon. Fab! My father, who didn't quite understand why I was so passionate about going with them, was FLOORED when he saw the pics. And I quote, "Ohhhhh, now I get what you were going for. It all makes sense." Thanks Dad, for trusting me, and thanks Matt and Garrett for making it happen!

Somehow, somewhere online I stumbled upon GB Photographers and I am so thankful that I did. I spent that entire day (yes, day!) at work viewing their albums. I was addicted to their photos. I started daydreaming about what our wedding photos would look like under their capable hands, eyes and cameras. Through their kindness, I was able to call Garrett and Matt our wedding photographers. Wow. They beat my already very very high expectations. Our photos are stunning. Words can't describe the color, composition, sharpness and vision of sweet reality that they convey. And even better, our wedding guests still tell my mom how professional and kind Matt and Garrett were to everyone on our wedding day. They are also so fast in turning around the photos and slideshow! The Visual Guestbook was awesome too. The photo quality is spectacular and they really encouraged a fun atmosphere. In sum, I think any review of their work is rather pointless because their photographs speak for themselves. So please know that the people behind the photographs are even more of a reason to collaborate with GB Photographers.

I actually found Jennifer after searching online for photographers in San Francisco and her work immediately stood out. Her style felt fresh and unconventional -- more documentary and journalistic than traditional -- and I especially loved her use of black and white photography, which was a big reason we chose her. The day started at our hotel, where she jumped between our separate rooms to capture my wife and me getting ready. Before she had even gotten to our rooms, she had already scouted the perfect location for our first look. The moment was absolutely incredible, and she handled everything; we didn't have to do a thing but follow her lead. That professional confidence continued at City Hall. She has a masterful familiarity with the building. She took full control of the shoot, guiding us as she told us exactly where to stand, how to pose, and where to move next so we could just relax and enjoy the moment. As a photographer myself, I really appreciated her confidence and professionalism. All we had to do was follow instructions and be present. She knows San Francisco City Hall inside and out -- the lighting, the angles, the timing, and the key locations that truly matter -- every shot felt deliberate and it showed. The technical skill here is top-notch-- the compositions were beautiful, the balance of each frame was spot-on, and her gorgeous color grading. We received around 300 images, and the quality is so consistent that I plan to print every last one of them in large format to ensure we have a permanent physical archive. When we received the final package, we were so touched -- she sent our photos on a beautiful USB drive along with printed images, some sweets, and other thoughtful details. It was the perfect finishing touch to a genuinely wonderful experience. If you're getting married at City Hall -- or anywhere in San Francisco -- Jennifer Michelson / A Girl and a Camera is exceptional. Thank you Jennifer! Laura and Junior.

From the very beginning, Eric was incredibly responsive and helpful. Even before our shoot, he shared great tips and answered all our questions, which made us feel confident and excited going into the day. On the day of our wedding, Eric showed up early and was extremely professional. His talent and vision were clear right away. My husband and I aren't the most experienced when it comes to posing, but Eric guided us through everything so naturally. One of the best parts? The turnaround time. He sent us a sneak peek of the photos just a few hours after the shoot -- and they already looked amazing! By the next day, he sent over all the unedited photos so we could choose our favorites. The final edits came back in just a week, and you could tell he put a lot of time and effort into each image. If you're looking for a talented, professional, and genuinely kind photographer, I highly recommend Eric. He captured our special day beautifully and made the whole process easy and enjoyable!
