We first met Augie though extended family referral in 2023. We've been regular clients since then,…read moreand have absolutely loved every session. Augie is a kind, calming, and professional presence for kids and adults alike, putting everyone at ease. It may seem like photography sessions that feel candid would result in mediocre results, but somehow he always gets amazing shots. Anyone with toddlers and infants know how difficult it is to get more than one kid staring at the camera, much less capture natural smiles. I've been impressed every time, and look forward to future family portraits!

Augie took our engagement and wedding photos, and we absolutely loved working with him! I would…read morehighly recommend him to anyone looking for a photographer. He's very professional, friendly, quick to respond, and just amazing to work with overall. I had just started wedding planning when I ran into a friend who told me Augie was their photographer and shared his info. We had looked through a number of photographers, but Augie's work stood out to us through all of it--his photos truly captured the feeling of each moment, and we loved everything in his portfolio. When we reached out, he responded so quickly and answered all our questions right away. For our engagement shoot, it was my husband's first time doing a formal photoshoot. Augie came very prepared, offered great tips, and made us feel completely at ease. He was so easy to talk to and work with, and we genuinely had such a fun time with him! He was also flexible with timing and weather to make sure we could get the best lighting. We were blown away by his ability to notice something special in just a few seconds and turn it into a beautifully captured moment. For our wedding day, Augie was even more impressive. I had shared our (very full) itinerary with him ahead of time, and I was surprised to notice that he knew it by heart. When we started running behind, he gently but efficiently helped move things along. Even though it was his first time at our venue, he had an incredible eye for finding perfect spots, turning a simple fence into a magical backdrop. He worked seamlessly around the golfers at our venue, guiding us at the right times and capturing the sweetest in-between moments. He also accommodated all our specific requests, including photos with our sports car and dress details. We absolutely love our wedding photos and all the special moments he preserved. We were also so impressed with how fast he sent us our sneak peek photos--it was such a fun surprise to get highlights so quickly. Overall, I can't stress enough how grateful we are for Augie and everything he captured during our engagement shoot and wedding day. We're so happy with all the memories he helped capture that we will cherish forever, and I truly can't recommend him enough.

We knew we wanted really good photos for our wedding because when the day is over the one thing you…read moreare left with are the photos. We knew we wanted the best. We did a lot of research and Alex was competitively priced with other highly sought after premier photographers, he actually beat them out on price which was great. He is slightly more expensive than most standard photographers, but let me tell you it is 100% worth it to pay a little extra money to get a world-class photographer to shoot your wedding. I felt beautiful on my wedding day and a part of that was knowing I had Alex on my side to shoot my best side. We had already created a good rapport before the wedding but even if we hadn't, Alex can put you at ease. He makes you feel so comfortable in front of a camera; I had let him know some of my insecurities before we started shooting and I can tell you I didn't have a single unflattering shot. For me there are a ton of amazing things about working with Alex but my #1 has got to be the fact that he doesn't ask for cheesy shots. We've all seen it, the same wedding pose you see time and time again where the couple looks so awkward and uncomfortable because they would never pose like that in real life; it usually includes some sort of lying or leaning on one another. Yeah, we didn't want that and Alex never directed us to do anything like that. Now if you want that, you certainly can ask him to up the cheese and Im positive he will be able to deliver but thats not his go to. He wants real photos that show love and comfort and happiness and he captures the essence of a couple, not just on their wedding day, but how they live their life together. Alex's photography is epic, our wedding photos are epic. Book Alex! Don't hesitate!

Alex was awesome he made the already most amazing moment in my life even better. My fiancé said to me that right before the big moment he was extremely nervous about getting the location and timing right since Alex couldn't be seen. But Alex got there early and scoped out the place and was super helpful to Ian. Not to mention Alex drove out into the city on a Saturday for us. From the preview pictures he sent us I can't wait to see he rest! Definitely recommend him, not only are the pictures beautiful but Alex's customer service was beyond amazing!

Around that time my company was looking for a photographer to take full body pictures of our team for our new website. After working with Sam at SMPS, and receiving my headshots from him, I immediately knew I wanted him to work with our office. He was very prompt and kept the environment very easy and lighthearted. He helped everyone relax and made us all feel very comfortable. Our company had all of us do one standard pose and one "fun" pose. He worked with everyone to ensure that our personalities were capture in the shot and highlighted all of our different hobbies with a use of props. He was absolutely great to work with and I am so ecstatic with how the pictures came out. He made all of us look fantastic! I highly recommend working with Sam if you are in need of professional photos. You will not be disappointed!!

Sam is an excellent photographer and such a pleasure to work with. He was professional, polite, had…read moreeverything set up on time so he could help me make the most of our session. I called him for a last minute appointment and he was able to fit me in the same week as I am heading back to college next week. Even before the session, he emailed me once to confirm the session and another to remind me of the session that was happening the next morning. His emails were professional and helpful because they include tips on what to wear and payment information. The total session only took about 45 minutes and he had the shots retouched and completed by the end of the same day. I highly recommend him for any professional head shots you may need, he took my head shots for my LinkedIn page and they came out amazing. I am very pleased with my overall experience and result! To see one of the head shots that Sam captured, you can view my LinkedIn profile: https://www.linkedin.com/in/meghanmarks

Wow, Yelp really came through again! I was searching for a photographer for our engagement photos…read moreand Google didn't bring Vinh up, but Yelp did, and I'm so grateful. From the very beginning, Vinh was incredibly informative, professional, and genuinely friendly. His communication is exceptional. I don't think he ever took more than 24 hours to respond to my requests. My fiancé and I are not photogenic people. We've never done a photoshoot together and honestly i'm a bit awkward. But Vinh made us feel completely comfortable right away. He guided us through poses, gave helpful suggestions on outfit colors to match our location, and even recommended spots that perfectly matched the vision I had in mind. The actual shoot turned out to be so much fun! We were laughing, relaxed, and really just enjoying ourselves. We did a 2 hour engagement photoshoot and we chose Muir Woods and Mount Tamalpais as our locations. And the best part? The photos were ready in less than five days! The turnaround time was so quick, and the quality of the photos completely exceeded our expectations. We honestly feel so lucky to have found Vinh. He captured everything we hoped for and more. I would be honored to have him as our wedding photographer! Fingers crossed, he'll be available !

Michael especially exceeds at being let loose at events and conferences where he can roam around capturing lots of candid shots to be used for future marketing materials and recaps. He did this for us during TEDxSanJoseCA. In fact, he did double-duty, also taking photos with a point-and-shoot and sending them to our social media team in real-time to share vial social media. I also recently hired him for a half-day professional photoshoot. He did a great job. We shot a big handful of shots in studio and then shot out to some spots out in the city for another batch. He coordinated with me before our shoot date, finding me a few city backdrops that fit the style I was going for. I strongly recommend hiring Michael for your personal or professional photoshoot.

Very expensive, and very poor service! Not recommended at all!…read moreLightworks was mandated by my son's high school to produce his senior portraits. Lightworks never advised me that the portraits were ready, and I was given a very weak explanation relative to the lack of follow-up, while receiving no compensation for the many months (!) it took to obtain them. Additionally, the average quality of the portraits in no way justifies the high cost!

I had won a certificate for a family session and print at a charity auction. Making an appointment…read morewas easy (the appointment was bit into the future, but that's a good sign!) and the staff was very flexible when we needed to reschedule. When you walk into the studio you are instantly surrounded by pictures from past clients sessions in a variety of finishes, frames and arrangements. It being Napa, you are sure to know someone on the wall! Our appointment was in the morning, and so we headed off to the park behind the studio for an outdoor session (our choice). My husband and I have a 3 year old son, and Joe and Carol were such professionals; they knew how to engage our son to smile and have fun (without creating a tantrum!). As he took pictures, Joe let us see the results and make suggestions and welcomed our comments. After only about 15 minutes we headed back to the studio. My husband and I thought he would review the pictures and pick the best one, but to our happy surprise we got to sit down and see them all together. In seeing the pictures on the monitor I could see the craftsmanship and skill that Joe has with a camera. Small details in lighting, posing, and angle really make his pictures come alive. So much so, that we decided to purchase an additional photo collage. We were alerted a few weeks later that the prints were ready and I picked them up without any problems. While some may say that the cost is expensive (notably the other comment posted here), you must realize that Lightworks (and other similar photographers) are not a department store photoshop. You are getting a far superior product for your dollar with Lightworks. Our prints, mattes and frame are of the highest quality, the kind of quality that you won't get from a mall shop. Remember: these are your priceless moments in time of your friends or family, entrust them to Lightworks to preserve and honor them. Without hesitation we would return to Lightworks in the future. I would highly recommend them.
