I love stationary and it was so much fun to go through large book after large book of samples with Linda's help. We were able to create a perfect plan - utilizes some of Smock's templates and Linda's graphic designer. Linda helped me to make decisions that would allow me to stay in budget - for example she recommended not doing an envelope liner as it looks cool but most people won't notice it. We worked with a graphic designer of Linda's to design our own art deco wedding logo which we used on all our materials and on a tote bag as the thank you gift. We printed the save-the-dates and the invitations with Smock, and did digital printing for the rest. Talking to Linda in-person or over email was always great. She truly card about the finished product. I'm so glad we worked with her on wedding stationary.

I have a graphic design background, but no longer have the burning desire, time, and energy to…read morecreate anything printed ... this also applies to my own wedding invitations. Searching online and locally for well-designed, quality invitations, custom or mass produced was a time consuming and difficult task. I scoured hundreds of images and found myself reluctantly flipping through card store catalogues, in hopes of finding something that would delight and also save me from becoming a graphic designer again. I've always respected and admired letterpress printing for being one of the finest (and most expensive), traditional, printing techniques reserved for very special events. Our wedding was a time to bite the bullet and go letterpress. In SF, "retro" looking designs were more readily available as a letterpress option, which wasn't our first choice, but we were open to it. TWICE, I called a pretty well-Yelped reviewed stationery studio that offered these looks, but they did NOT return my voice mail the first time. The second try, I wanted to see if they would allow me to browse their selections within that day (called in the morning on a Wednesday), granted it was last minute, but still, it was a no go. Parked in my car, with no invitation resources to head to, I Googled "letterpress, wedding invitation, san francisco" ... up popped "Burns & Associates". I called them on the spot and they welcomed me to come by anytime! I drove over to the Laurel Village area, within a residential street, walked through a little alleyway between homes and entered their lovely studio. I was greeted warmly, like a friend, by Jamie. She offered me a seat and had already pulled aside some catalogues and samples of the most beautifully designed letterpressed invitation suites. I was IN LOVE. I mean, I LOVED everything she showed me ... I tell ya, it was so refreshing after flipping through pages of mediocre designs at the other mainstream card shops. Immediately, we got our order underway. The entire process and our service from Burns was professional, and wonderful. We were not a number somewhere. Our invitations were the best I've seen. I look forward to working with them again! Pocket-book is lighter by: $2300

He was easy to work with, professional but super chill, and worked seamlessly with our photographer on the day of. If you're debating whether or not to get a videographer, it's totally worth it. My wife teared up watching our Highlight video the first time...and then rewatched it more than 100 times after that (no exaggeration!). Justin did such an amazing job capturing the day without making anything feel forced or overly staged. Justin was also really helpful and flexible with making a few edits after we got the video back, which we really appreciated. Overall, we had a great experience and would definitely recommend him!

He came to my parent's house early in the morning after I was dressed & made-up, drove with us EVERYWHERE to take pictures before heading off to church, and then stayed with us for the whole evening during the dinner banquet - our pictures are very lovely (including our engagement photos) and I still love looking thru my wedding albums.

I have known Alessandro for many years. He is such a talented photographer!…read more He has taken my professional pictures for years. Unfortunately, he was unavailable for my wedding pictures but we are getting ready for some family photos with the addition to our family. He has also taken some great pictures with my dog. Super natural and not your standard dog pictures. His candid photos are amazing and the way he uses the lighting and the environment requires knowledge. I believe his pricing is pretty average for the industry. I understand some people may think, you just took a picture and you charge me what? But the truth is that photography is an art and he isn't just taking a picture - if that is the case, get your friends to do it and it will probably be free. But if you want good quality pictures that will last a lifetime, that represent you well and that you will be proud to show your friends and family; then you have to pay for somebody's time and talent. I don't know anybody else I much rather give my money than Alessandro.

Krista prepared us so well for our photoshoot - helping us pick our outfits and make sure all the little details we might not consider were taken care of. At the photoshoot, she made us feel like we were in a fairytale. She coached us but still allowed us to feel natural, and found all the most magical places to shoot in. She spent so much time with us the afternoon of our shoot, finding space after space where we could get gorgeous shots. The very next day, she shared sneak peek photos that swept us away! It reflected the magic we felt in the day. Three weeks later, she turned around a full album with so many gorgeous photos. We are still swooning over them and the magic of the experience we had with her! We have no idea how we are going to select the pictures to frame - there are too many perfect shots! Thank you Krista!

While all their skills have all been somewhere between pretty good to really great, we have discovered that their ability to interact with you in a way that feels comfortable is just as important. The photographer is the person who will be with you more than anyone else (besides your spouse-in-the-making) on that big day, so personality counts! We had a chance to have Mitch shoot us during a New Year's party on the bay. He was fantastic! He took red carpet style photos that made each of us feel like a star! He blended in well with the group during the party, taking some great shots that captured the energy and fun of the event. Then, Mitch did something really special. He made a point to find the couples on board, and did a mini-shoot with them- including one couple that had just gotten engaged right at midnight! In working with us, he made us immediately feel comfortable, to the point of almost forgetting he was there, so he could capture some beautiful iconic shots. Our wedding is in a different destination than San Francisco, but if it were, we would definitely love to have Mitch as our photographer.
