Hello Yelp friends and fans:…read more I just wanted to let you all know how wonderful, pleasant, and professional Photo Tracy's photography was during my daughter's wedding. It was wonderful working with Steve because he helped alleviate some of the wedding planning stress by keeping the line of communication open and making professional suggestion. Steve was also extremely pleasant to work with because of his personal demeanor and calm presents. He also exemplified professional traits before, during, and after the event by responding to emails and phone calls in a timely matter, arriving to the wedding on time, and by finishing the final product in a reasonable fashion. My daughter, her husband, our friends and family, and I love our memorable video that Steve created for us. We were contemplating over the cost and rather we should spend money on video and photography but that investment was the best investment we made. Now, we are able to embrace that special day over and over again even when it matters most--after the wedding day has vanished. ; ) I am willing to claim that having a professional photographer is one of the most important parts of the wedding because the stars- BRIDE & GROOM- of the wedding are the only individuals missing the show because they are the highlight of the day. Being able to go back and capture footage of the day creates life-long memories for the newlyweds and any future children. Most importantly, We'd contacted many companies and a lot of them wanted top dollars but lacked customer services. With Tracy Photo, you get nothing but THE BEST. I'm big on customer service and believe everyone deserve recognition when they provide it. GREAT JOB, Steve!!! Bravo!!! You Rock!!! We'd higher you again in a heartbeat !!! Warmest Wishes, Rhonda

Christina Gray of Bella Luna Studios is definitely fantastic to work with…read more Bella Luna Studios was the Photography Sponsor at the Annual Pleasanton Chamber of Commerce Staff Appreciation Event. They are well known for their Photography and have been voted "Best of Pleasanton 2008 & 2009" for photography by the readers of the Pleasanton Weekly Newspaper. You can check out Christina's work on her website and I would definitely reocmmend her for event photopgraphy. I am adding some pictures that were taken by her for the event I attended.

Chrissy Gray shot our family photos and also headshots for my wife recently. She has an incredible…read morereputation in the community and our personal experience with her demonstrated that her reputation is well earned. Communication leading up to the shoot and planning for weather changes as well as location options were timely and thoughtful. We had to work around another photographer at the public site we chose and Chrissy handled the situation with grace and strength. The other photographer and the cheer team of 100 girls+ being shot were not accommodating nor friendly. But we had other options on site which turned out to be fantastic and we still got to shoot that location after that other crew of people moved on. None of my three children were too excited for a photo shoot but Chrissy made it fun and as painless as could be for them. Now my wife and I have photos that capture this stage in life for our family. We will cherish these photos/memories forever. Chrissy processed and sent us the finished product in a very short amount of time. So many fantastic photos! We all know a ton of aspiring photographers both amateur and even possibly professional. Chrissy takes this art and skill to a completely different level - one you feel good paying for. We are so thankful. I recommend Chrissy and Bella Luna Studios to anyone seeking a professional photographer.

Before your special day, they have you complete a very thorough questionnaire to make sure they…read morecompletely understand your preferences...everything from photo style to must-have shots and personal touches. It's clear they put a lot of thought and care into making sure every couple's experience feels customized and stress-free. Their communication and professionalism stood out to me from day one. They're very responsive and flexible - qualities that mean so much when you're planning something as important as a wedding. One thing that's worth mentioning is if you're booking through one of the wedding venues they're contracted with, the discount they offer is absolutely unbeatable. It's an incredible value for the level of quality, attention, and service you receive. Even when circumstances changed, they were so understanding and professional about it, which says a lot about their integrity as a business. I'd absolutely recommend them to any couple looking for a trustworthy, family-run photography team that truly cares about your experience from start to finish!!

We always have our family portraits with Anna plus we also did my daughters senior pics here!!! Each and every time I am so happy about our photos that I keep coming back!!! My photos always come out amazing and I am never ever disappointed with the quality of work and the amazing staff of Ultra-Spective. Anna and her staff are always so friendly and patient. Her studio is warm and welcoming and she has many back drops to choose from. They capture the best candids that make the picture look so natural. We recently decided to get my whole family in one big photo but thought it would be impossible! Only because I have 8 sisters, 1 brother and about 30 nieces and nephews plus their kids!! Impossible right?!?!?! Nope!!! Anna decided that we can schedule different times/days that each family could do and somehow she would do her magic and make one big photo. Out of the 10 different families, only 2 families weren't able to attend a session:(. Anyways, I was so happy about the outcome of our canvass's!!! It looks so much better in person!!! And especially on my wall at home!!!

Ultra-Spective is truly the way to go! We hired Anna to be our photographer for our big day. She…read morewas wonderful! From our engagement session, which was included in the package, through the entirety of the wedding, Anna and team were fantastic to work with. They just made taking pictures easy and comfortable. Crissy (maybe misspelling) was Anna's assistant on the day of the weeding. She was instrumental in assisting my wife with her dress, setting up the shots, and organizing the family for the group pictures. Not only are they great to work with, the photos are breath taking. We wouldn't recommend any other photographer more than Ultra-Spective to capture your wedding day. Tip: Ultra-Spective offers a "guest-book", which is a compilation of pictures taken during the engagement session organized in a book with custom prompts such as "give the newly weds advice". We used this as the guest book at our wedding and it was perfect! High recommend!

We went with their Storytelling Style package, which exceeded all of our expectations. Leading up to the day, we walked through the timeline with Christina to align on the schedule and highlights we wanted to capture. When the day came, they were so professional and knew exactly how to capture the moments to translate the tone of our wedding into the video. Thanks to them, we were able to enjoy our day stress free and have all our special moments captured. Less than a week later, they shared the highlight video with us and sent out the full video. Thank you Christina and George!!

They have a very extensive portfolio on their website, which I loved as it really gave me a sense of the style of filming and editing they do. Once I sent an inquiry, Christina was very responsive and informative. She was also great with communicating with us and our other vendors the few weeks leading up to the wedding, making sure her team's equipment would work with our DJ's audio setup. On wedding day, Christina was absolutely lovely to work with. As someone with no experience being on camera, I loved that she gave tips on suggested movements to make that appeared really natural and beautifully on camera. She made us feel at ease with all the advice. Christina's ability to speak Chinese was a great bonus - it made coordinating with our Chinese-speaking family members much easier and kept everyone on the same page. The finished products turned out amazing. I couldn't be happier with the videos provided and how well everything turned out. Thank you so much to Christina and the team for making our wedding day so special! I'd absolutely recommend working with Filmman Video for anyone looking for a wedding videographer - you definitely won't be disappointed with the results.

Denise is phenomenal and she surrounds herself with a team that is professional, considerate and competent. There were a fair amount of questions I had to answer about which photos we wanted and this made me feel at ease knowing that the team would make sure I got all the photos I wanted for my special day. I ordered a boudoir photo package in addition to the wedding photos and video. The boudoir photo shoot was an incredible experience and Denise made me feel incredibly at ease and sexy as hell. I got the proofs and was able to view them in the studio - this was a special day and it was helpful having another set of eyes and also someone there to help me not be so critical of myself!! The final result was a book of photos of me feeling sexy, confident and amazing. My husband sat, mouth open, carefully going through each page and I felt like the most beautiful girl in the world. On our wedding day there were absolutely ZERO ISSUES. When Denise arrived, I breathed a sigh of relief, she took care of everything. I was confident that the pictures were going to be exactly what I wanted and then some. Overall, my experience with Modern Love was beyond anything I could have ever dreamed of. They know how to take incredible photos and have done a lot of training to ensure that they are getting photos that you not only see as visually beautiful but photos that make you feel something, photos that make you experience and witness the beauty and magic of a moment. Thank you Denise and all of Modern Love for an incredible day!!

This is honestly a hard review for me to write. I did love Denise and her personality, and I loved…read moremy engagement shoot that I did with Katie. But my wedding shoot was extremely, so extremely disappointing. We opted not to have a videographer and told people not to take pictures during the ceremony, so I'm just left with sad pictures( or the lack of pictures I guess). For starters, the photographers were 45 minutes late. I heard there was a lot of traffic, and I wonder if this is the first thing that threw everything off. We initially signed a contract for Denise and Katie as the second shooter, but we found out that Katie was promoted as a main photographer, so there was a new guy. The second photographer was nice but pretty useless. You could tell which photos he shot, and they were pretty poor. He did the groomsmen getting ready, but all of the photos are just close ups. The guys did a pillow fight (tradition with his friends), and every single one of them is just a close up of a man holding a pillow. Also, one of the reasons we chose the venue was due to its interior, and I spent a lot of time looking at wedding photos done inside the building. I remember asking for photos in the hallway and taking a bunch, but I didn't see any. I was told they couldn't shoot properly in there because of the lighting. I'm not sure why all the other photographers from that venue were able to get pictures, but I couldn't. We ended up with a handful of portraits, many of them disappointing because either my hair is blowing all over my face or my husband couldn't keep a straight face. We spent a good portion of our decorating budget on flowers, but I don't have a single photo of my centerpieces. My florist asked to add them to my portfolio, but I didn't have any to offer her. The biggest, most disappointing issue is that there are zero pictures of the whole wedding party, and I don't have a single photo of the whole family. How did that escape people? I wasn't keeping track of each photo, and I really expected the photographers to do that. I don't have one with just my parents or with my sister, who was my maid of honor. These pictures were things I just took for granted. It definitely wasn't because we ran out of time because between the ceremony and reception, I was just sitting around in my room for about 45 minutes. Aside from Denise's personality,  I was extremely disappointed with the whole day.  I even tried to get a refund for the "trash the dress" session I had also purchased and was met with a refusal. They did refund us for the cost of a second photographer though. To this day, I get really sad seeing other great wedding photos and for years thinking about it could bring me to the verge of tears. That being said, obviously I survived and I did absolutely love my wedding. I still have beautiful memories of my wedding, and I'm happily married with a gorgeous kiddo. I just wish I had some photos too.

Jennavee from Shutter & Glo Photography was wonderful throughout the whole process. I contacted her…read moreon Instagram about doing a newborn photoshoot and she responded very quickly. She explained the process of the photoshoot and gave a very reasonable price. On the day of the photoshoot, Jennavee traveled to me and met at my house. Having her come to me was great since it is hard for me to go anywhere with a newborn. Jennavee was prepared with lots of options in cloths and backdrops, and was well prepared with her equipment. It made the photoshoot flowed easily. Jennavee was very patient and accommodating with my fussy baby. The final pictures turned out amazing. I can't wait to send out the baby announcement cards with these super cute photos. Overall, I had a great experience and I will definitely have her do our family photoshoot in the near future when baby is a little older.
