We've worked with Stephanie for years, and she is hands-down my favorite photographer in Napa…read moreValley. She captures our family portraits every season, and she's also my go-to for event photography, lifestyle shoots, and anything we need for professional branding at my winery. Her ability to find beautiful natural light and make everyone--kids included--feel comfortable is unmatched. Our photos always look polished, warm, and authentic. If you're looking for a family photographer, wedding photographer, or someone who excels at candid event coverage, she delivers every time. Beyond her talent, she's incredibly reliable, organized, and easy to work with. You can tell she truly loves what she does. If you want excellent photography with a friendly, professional experience, book her. Highly recommend for family photos, corporate events, milestone celebrations, proposals and holiday shoots. We won't use anyone else!

Nice photos by Nicole!…read more I've had the privilege of meeting Nicole in a few events from the North Bay (thanks to Kevin B). She has an eye in always capturing the moment as witnessed on her photos. She's very casual and friendly and always prompt in showing up on location so you can be assured that her professionalism will guarantee you timeliness, friendly personality, and beautiful photos. Sometimes you can't tell where she is and all of a sudden you have beautiful shots. She's like a ninja! LoL! and you can see how her photos are different as she captures highlights at different angles and uses those fancy picture highlights and magic in the tone, light, color, saturation, contrast, shadows, brightness, exposure, neutrals and intensity of her photos. I will let her photos speak for itself. Thank you, Nicole, for capturing memorable moments of our events! :) Review #0472

If you're on the hunt for an event photographer, look no further than Nicole Letaw!…read more I've hired Nicole to shoot a number of my wine country Yelp events. She really has a great eye and trigger finger. She always seems to truly capture the essence of the venue and the party. And I don't how she does it, but everyone winds up looking like a model in her photos. She even makes a bozo like me look presentable (that's no small feat!). Best of all, she's a total joy to work with. She's always prompt, reliable, and ready to work with a big smile. It's no surprise that my Yelper guests have more or less adopted her as an "honorary" Elite. She just fits right in to the party. You almost forget that she's working. So if you're a restaurant or winery looking to snap some property &/or food shots, or in the market for a wonderful wedding photographer (or any other kind of event), I'd highly recommend giving Nicole Letaw a call. You'll be glad you did!

Her ability to summon and record our best selves is amazing -- she is a creative force of the highest quality. I truly appreciate her efforts to give back to the community by supporting local non-profits and documenting the unique treasures of our home in her book My_Town_Montclair.

Moreover, capturing a great moment on a camera is only the tip of the iceberg with professional photographers. Torrey's editing is second to none. I've never felt like my families photos were rushed through an edit and I can tell that she is taking the time to personally review every photo that she delivers. Lastly, and logistically, I found Torrey to be incredibly accommodating of my families hectic schedule and her pricing is incredibly reasonable (especially considering her talent and final product). She is willing to travel or she can recommend some local Bay Area spots that she's already staked out. 5 Stars all the way.

I have to write a review for Hanh Nguyen. She did the photos for our outdoor wedding/indoor…read morereception last weekend and it was so great! Great doesn't even really begin to capture it. We couldn't have asked for a better photographer, our photos are beautiful--very documentary-like, not wedding-like, which we wanted. We got married in the redwood grove at the berkeley botanical gardens around 5 p.m., and the light was beautiful, which totally comes through in the photos. Other pictures were taken in the rose garden before and came out equally stunning. She delivered the same quality at the indoor reception, where the lights were pretty bright and the setting less glamorous, but we have these amazing photos of our guests and us "in action." So sweet. And one of the best parts? We didn't even really remember her taking photos, but she was still able to get some candid shots. No posing here, unless you ask, but we wanted a more natural feel, which we got. So, absolutely five stars! We highly recommend her and are so very pleased!

I have had the good fortune of having Hanh photograph portraits of my daughter and product shots of my hand-made jewelry. She has a natural talent for working with kids. As my daughter played in the space, she felt comfortable and engaged her during the entire session. I was amazed how every photo captured her personality perfectly! As for my jewelry, Hanh's photographs helped brand my work visually as fresh, organic and higher-end. She has an amazing talent in balancing light with color and style direction, as each of my pieces look artistically beautiful. Her creative focus on detail made my jewelry stand out from the rest and I couldn't be happier! Hanh Nguyen is a amazing photographer that brings out the beauty in all that she photographs! She is gifted, professional and a pleasure to work with. I would highly recommend her to anyone who doesn't just want a run-of-the-mill photographer. Why settle for "that's nice" when you can have "whoa, that's gorgeous"!

I…read morewas a bridesmaid, and Meo made such a good impression- friendly, easy going, and professional. On a whim, I decided that I wanted to book a boudoir shoot to surprise my fiancé (and let's be honest, hang out in a gorgeous apartment in my underwear). Meo immediately came to mind, and her sample boudoir photos further convinced me that she was the one for the job. Meo was an absolute pleasure to work with from the get-go. We set a date to shoot (twice-- thanks, COVID), and Meo flew out to the Bay Area to accommodate me. She sent me all of the locations she was considering and, because I'm a control freak, I really appreciated having input in all of the details. When the day came, I was nervous, but Meo quickly put me at ease. She is a ray of sunshine, and I felt so comfortable with her. Meo did my hair and makeup, and we picked some outfits (ones I brought and ones she brought). She helped me figure out what options would look best. She made me laugh, showed me how to pose naturally, and utilized every inch of the space. I felt like a model! A week later, I received my sneak peeks! While I am usually hyper-critical, I am in LOVE with 5/5 photos she sent me. They are perfection. I plan to order prints through Meo, and I can't wait to gift these to my fiancé. I will definitely recommend Meo to everyone I know, and will absolutely use her again in the future!

Kristy of Volatile Photography is truly the best photographer a person could ever dream of. If you…read moreare searching for a photographer for your wedding to capture the most important day of your life, she is the one. You can stop searching now. I was never the little girl who dreamed my whole life of every detail of my wedding day. Before I got engaged, I only knew 2 things that I wanted for my wedding. The song I would walk down the aisle to and that I wanted Kristy to be my photographer. I had been following her work for several years, only hoping that one day I'd be lucky enough to have a reason to need her services. Kristy exceeded every expectation I had. She quickly responded to every email I sent her. She was extremely helpful in answering all the questions I had about the wedding day and I trusted all the feedback she gave me. She was flexible and understanding through the entire planning process. She took time to come to the wedding venue the night before at the rehearsal to get familiar with everybody in the wedding party and family members whom she would be shooting the following day. She scouted the best locations for pictures and made sure everything was set with the venue coordinator. She did all of this in such a natural and comfortable way that I was completely confident about the wedding day. The day of the wedding, she arrived early and was extremely helpful in keeping the time schedule we had planned. She managed all of my family and bridal party in such a professional and easy going way that not only were we able to get all the shots we wanted, but everyone enjoyed every moment of the process. Kristy is fun and makes everyone feel comfortable having their picture taken. During the ceremony and after, Kristy fit in so easily to every situation and never interrupted a single moment, although each important moment was captured. And then came the photographs. I will never be able to do justice in words the beauty of my wedding pictures. I have hundreds of stunning images that capture the love, emotion, fun, and beauty that was present at my wedding. There are so many candid pictures of the most meaningful moments of that day that I will be able to treasure forever. I am eternally grateful for Kristy and all of the photographs I have of my special day. She is simply the best there is.
