(they were considerably less than most other quotes I got and I was afraid of "you get what you pay for"), but alas, the reviews here and other places I've seen are well-founded and Patrick was fantastic. Really communicative and our pics came out great and everyone enjoyed themselves. He even helped create a few custom borders for us to choose from! I'd say the only feedback I have - which was really quite minor - was just that he could stand to get a few more props. He had a small handful, and they served their purposes, but based on other parties we've been to (mostly Bar/Bat Mitzvahs, weddings, etc.), I think we were expecting more, but again, they totally sufficed and everyone had a blast! He even sent us a file with ALL our pics after our event - both in 3-frame photo strip format but also as individual pics, which we really liked having. Can't recommend Patrick enough!

Jackie is AMAZING!!…read more We were referred to her from a friend who explained that Jackie was "better with her newborn than she was!". And indeed, when she came to our house to photograph our 8 week old baby girl, she was incredibly patient and definitely understood how to capture newborns. Jackie then did a second shoot for us when family visited San Francisco and we wanted to get everyone together. She is flexible on the location and if you are lucky enough to have her husband there to help her, you will see what a great pair they make. Her website has additional details... Overall, she if very professional, the kids loved her and her husband during the shoot (as did we) and the turnaround times for the pics was around 2 weeks...pretty fast. Finally, her prices are reasonable given that she comes to your location and delivers a CD that you own to do whatever you want with the pics. (currently $200 for about an hour shoot)

I again hired Jackie's services, this time for my Engagement Party. She arrived early and stayed…read moreuntil the important portions of the itinerary were completed for the same affordable rate that she had originally quoted me. She was seated next to my cousin whom she knows as that was how she was recommended to me and so she had a place for dinner and to mingle and capture candid shots throughout the night. Jackie is a wonderfully sweet and good hearted person and I was happy to hire her even though I had not originally intended on hiring for photography. I am glad that I did, she was busily capturing many moments throughout the night. If her last shoot is any implication to how these photos will come out then I can already tell you that I am more than satisfied. Can't wait to see all of the photos! Thanks again Jackie!

If you want the very best in wedding photography, look no further. We were recommended to Maurice…read moreby my now husband's mom, who lives in Georgia, who's friend also in Georgia has a daughter who used to life in SF (still following?), the daughter moved in NY. She flew Maurice to NY to do her photos. No regrets. Okay, so that was the most oddly routed recommendation path I've received for any of my wedding vendors. Back to my experience. We must have interviewed at least five photographers, and reviewed at least ten; both from recommendations of our wedding coordinator, wedding venue, and others. Why did I want to interview Maurice? I liked his edgy style. He wasn't a light & fluffy photographer. His photo style is artistic, emotional, perfect timed, and focused. His photos look like they belong in magazines. His advertising background gives him the professionalism of both capturing people and surroundings. Why did I want to hire Maurice? Maurice graciously met with us in his Alameda studio, not too far from the BART. He had some iTunes playing from his sound system, comfy lounge chairs, and even freshly baked macaroons from a local baker. His personality was awesome. He asked all the right questions. He had no problem with us asking 500 questions. He just seemed like he knew what's up. How was the pre-wedding experience? Incredible. His wife Nina is an organizational guru. My coordinator is also like this. I am also like this. The coordinator and Maurice/Nina never worked together before, but she told me multiple times, she loved the duo. They'd send ideas, worksheets, timelines, etc. They're flexible and accommodating. They're nuts & bolts but very detailed. They track everything you give them. They listen to you. You feel comfortable knowing that they're on top of everything you're telling them. They don't go days leaving you hanging if you email them, either. How was the wedding experience? Maurice is a machine. He came onsite about noon and didn't leave until after the wedding was over at 10pm. You'd see him on ladders, taking shots from afar, from near, everywhere. He loved it. His assistant (who's also a professional photographer) was great. They even dressed in the wedding theme colors. They were snapping all day and all night. I had to convince him to go eat dinner. I don't know how the guys were so friendly and so on-point for so many hours. Everyone commented how amazing they are. He was so FUN to work with. He didn't exhaust you and you could tell he is so passionate for what he does and you're his main objective. How was the post-wedding experience? Also awesome. In just a few days he made a blog of his favorite photos. In just a few weeks, he had the whole collection online to view. In just a few weeks after that, he had proofs of albums to review. We made a few changes. He's so creative. He even remembers design elements from our wedding to incorporate in the album. For example, my husband made custom cornhole boards and Maurice remembered the design. We tracked down the Esty seller who gave us an image of the decal which Maurice put on the back of the photo album. A few weeks after finalizing, our photo album arrived, as a high-quality book, in an eloquent box, accompanied by a thank you card. Anything else? Maurice also submitted our photos for magazines. I can't wait to see what happens with that. Incredible, photos, quality, customer service and enthusiasm. Really, you can't go wrong.

I debated over writing this review. Our wedding was this past Saturday, and Maurice cancelled on…read moreus less than three weeks from our wedding. There is no doubt that Maurice takes beautiful pictures. His assistant, Nina, is also very friendly and responsive. Unfortunately, after signing the contract and paying the amount in full (and cash), he reneged on his contract. His reason? Nina accidentally booked us for October 2011, not October 2010. This was suspicious, as we received several emails from Nina with additional details about our upcoming wedding a few weeks away. I've had nothing but great experiences with Nina (we actually first reached out to them over a year and a half ago when we started planning, then again a few months ago when we finally decided to set a date). I don't believe that there was a mix up in dates. Since we had a smaller ceremony/reception and paid in full, Maurice was able to give us a considerable discount on his package. I fully believe that another bigger, pricier client came along and was too good for Maurice to pass up. I don't doubt Maurice's talent. However, I am most disappointed that having a signed agreement and paying the total cost up front wasn't enough to confirm him for our wedding. It's either poor organization or poor business ethic, and that is the last thing that any bride would want to worry about. I am giving Maurice two stars because he quickly refunded our money and offered a complimentary session. Maybe in time I'll feel differently, but I think I'd just be scowling in any pictures he shot of me! In the end, we fortunately found a FANTASTIC photographer (Charles Le Photography), and I truly think this cancellation was a blessing in disguise.

Mark and Tracy are the best of the best. I have hired them twice to take pictures of productions…read moreI've directed and both batches of photos were absolutely incredible (some examples below). Per production I got about 500+ photos and not a single one was a dud. My theater was able to build an entire marketing campaign around their photography and sold out both shows because of how high quality the photos were. Not to mention working with them was a dream. They were responsive, professional, and on time. They also were able to get really up close photos without distracting performers, which can be quite challenging. I've also used Tracy separately for my headshots. What I appreciate most about her is her innate ability to put you at ease for your photos, without making you feel awkward along the way. For many, myself included, there's something inherently uncomfortable about having your photo taken and Tracy knows exactly how to take the pressure off with her professional and warm approach. On top of that, the final product is always awesome. I purchased the package that includes 8 fully edited photos and narrowing it down was near impossible because every single photo of the 100+ she took was amazing. I could not recommend Mark and Tracy more for whatever photo needs you may have.

After the wedding I added him on Facebook and WOW, I was blown away by the pictures he captured from that day. When it came to selecting a photographer for our wedding a few years later, Gary was at the top of our list. My wife and I grabbed coffee with him and immediately knew that his personality, easy going nature, and experience level were exactly what we were going for. We're both not a big fan of "posed" photos and can be a little bit weird and awkward in front of the camera sometimes, but man, we were laughing with Gary all day on our wedding day. He captured tons of photos of us being goofy and just our normal selves, along with candid photos and great action photos from our family and guests. Overall the whole entire process with Gary was amazing and he captured tons of amazing photos that we'll cherish for a lifetime. If you're looking for photographer with a great eye, but who is down to earth and personable enough to let you be yourself, then look no further!
