She made me feel comfortable and confident behind the camera, has a friendly and easygoing demeanor, and I have some of my favorite photos thanks to her. If you are considering booking Hilary, look no further!

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.

We have done a couple sessions with Jamie and they are memories that we will cherish forever. We had the absolute pleasure of her capturing our son for his newborn photos and also doing a family session later. She is easy going and has a talent for making everyone feel comfortable (even those pesky husbands). She is truly the baby whisperer. I had no idea what I was doing in general with a newborn, let alone a photoshoot with one and she made the entire process an absolute breeze. Talented, effortless, comforting and leaves you with astonishingly amazing memories- We can't wait to work with Jamie again.

Our wedding photos by Ken Viale blew us away! STUNNING…read more Ken captured everything about our amazing day, a Pirates of the Caribbean-inspired wedding in March 2017 (at Calistoga Ranch resort). With Ken's mix of sweeping landscapes and detail shots, we can relive the look, feeling and memories of that day: a sweet embrace in an enchanted forest. The rain. Passionate ceremony kiss while overlooking a lake. Our pirate reception in a wine cave, our guests being surprised. Brides & Grooms: on your big day you will have "bliss brain." You'll be in a fog. You need a pro like Ken who will capture more than you can imagine--sometimes by guiding B&G/guests in photos or shooting quietly to get authentic moments. Ken is easy-going and fun. Understands outdoor & indoor lighting. Excellent communication & follow-up. Tips: ask Ken for a second shooter (ours focused on reception décor while Ken focused on our pre-ceremony photos). Talk to him about your vision a few weeks before your wedding--he really listens. I only wish we had more time with Ken because we booked a smaller package; the day goes by so fast and his photos are so fantastic, I want even more! For all of the time and money you spend on a wedding, make sure you get a great photographer.

I think we both truly fell in love with the idea of having him as our photographer when he called for a consultation after I had given him a three page picture request. My husband who wasnt very attached to the wedding planning, like most men, started yelling about the hockey game and Ken asked what the score was.. It was so amazing because Nick got connected to the experience so quickly because of that. He was pumped and thrilled for the event to be so close, finally! Ken was able to adjust our timelines willingly, and made it better off for me by changing the location for when we started. He clarified all our questions, set out a timeline and inevitebly gave me the confidence to show up to the venue and hour before they told me to be there. When I stumbled on ideas of where to go when he was right there with a perfect solution. Our wedding day was quick, and he was right on top of everything. He had a constant flow of places to take pictures at, he was instructed to make sure everyone was smiling and the pictures proved he kept to it. He gave us pictures that we would have never thought to have. If people are whispering in your ear that the professional pictures might not be what you expect (because people did it to me).. tell them they are wrong!!! Ken is as amazing as his portfolio shows, his talent for placement of people, lighting and getting the most amazing person shot for you is just what you would expect. I had over 1,000 pictures in the end, that captured the most wonderful day of my life. From the start, to the silly pictures, the posed ones, the true to myself ones, and everything I wanted ones he delivered. The timeframe for waiting was reasonable, and you get perfection in the end.. so be patient and seriously book Ken Viale to be your photographer. You will be so glad you did.

In our case, we even have excellent photographers and fancy cameras in the family, but capturing our 1-year old as anything but a blur and getting a picture of all three of us together was next to impossible. I had been keeping tabs on Joey's work for some time and when we were ready, I went through his gallery and wrote to all the friends I recognized who he had done sessions with (he's the go-to guy in the City now, apparently!). They unanimously said that he was easy to work with, professional, and caught the shots they were looking for. So we set it up! One of things I was struck by was how easy the logistics were, such as paying the deposit online, filling out a pre-shoot survey that asked helpful questions about what we had in mind, and choosing shots for prints from our gallery on his website. Joey is also affordable and turns the photos around quickly--we were able to choose shots to frame for Christmas presents within a few days of our session. The company he gets prints through was also speedy and the quality was perfect (especially compared to the DIY photo site options I've been floundering with this past year). Most importantly, Joey's documentary style of shooting was the right fit for us. He knows the city and it's backdrops extremely well, but I liked that he recommended we stay in our neighborhood so that when we look back at the photos, we will remember this time in our lives. Plus it made our kiddo more comfortable to be in his own space, playing with his own stuff. I was nervous that it was starting to rain and we wanted some outdoor shots, but it was no problem! We have some pretty lush landscaping in our condo complex that we showed Joey and he lit up, seeing the possibilities and taking some of the best shots of the bunch. And being a father himself, he has a cool, easy-going way with kids that brings out their best. We are totally thrilled with the process and the results and will definitely use Joey again.

What really sets Joey apart from other wedding photographers (besides his stunning photographs) is his level of service. Joey responds quickly to any question or concern. Even though Joey has a full roster of clients, he really goes out of his way to make you feel like you are the only wedding in the world with how much attention he gives you. He asked all the right questions to make sure he was prepared with what we wanted for our wedding day. In fact, he thought of things I would have never remembered to do or ask, and really saved a lot of mini-disasters from occurring with his insights. I could have probably hired him to be my wedding planner as well! Joey was also a calming and awesome vendor for the day of the wedding. He was very concerned with my comfort, and making sure my husband and I were taken care of. Despite the size of my wedding, and being pulled in lots of directions by my family, Joey was never flustered. He was super easy going and rolled with the punches, a necessity for any wedding. Even more amazing, our photo booth vendor cancelled at 1:00am the day of our wedding. When Joey heard about it, he created a makeshift photo booth for our guests on the spot! It was definitely not in his job description, and nobody asked him to do it, he just came up with it, and made it work. You can't beat that level of concern for your client. I also loved how stealthy Joey was. I barely noticed him running around taking photographs. But when you see his photos of those special moments, its as if he was right next to you the entire time! He managed to capture the most beautiful and intimate shots, without being in the middle of them. Even after the wedding, Joey still delivers amazing responsiveness and concern for his clients. Joey had proofs and a slide show ready in two weeks, which is incredibly fast for a photographer. When I saw the photos, I was so happy with the way they turned out. My entire family was also thrilled with them. And Joey makes ordering photos so easy and convenient with his online system. All in all, Joey is a great photographer and runs an exceptional business. His prices were very reasonable and included so many extras, like a engagement session and a beautiful photo album. One of my bridesmaids at the wedding who got married a few years ago said she wished she had found him when she was booking a photographer years ago because of how he conducted himself, how he made me feel, and how amazing his photos were. When your guests notice how great your photographer is, you know you've found someone special. His exquisite photos, amazing customer service, and all around easy going nature make him exactly the person you want to hire as you go through the wedding process. Book before some other smart bride does or he figures out how incredible he is and starts doing celebrity weddings!
