I ended up entering in a giveaway for engagement photos and we won!

She was able to work with our tight schedule and we couldn't be happier with the whole experience! Alison was so personable, professional, and an absolute gem! She made us feel so comfortable, she was even able to get my fiancé to smile! Lol our photo session was so smooth and the location she picked was gorgeous, it was exactly the vibe we wanted.

We were blown away and will definitely be booking with her again!

Where do I begin?! Jenn. Is. Just. Amazing. I am in love with my wedding photos! I can't stop…read moregawking at them. On my big day, the weather was challenging, constantly changing from foggy, to sprinkling, to light rain, to sunny, and then back to gloomy and sprinkling. The dynamic weather required a photographer to think quickly on their feet and adjust to the changing lighting conditions. Jenn showed off her expert skills in these conditions. She and her assistant also came prepared with umbrellas for us to use when it started to rain. She ambitiously searched the wedding venue for picturesque locations to shoot. I could tell the wheels in her head were turning. The impromptu photoshoot at the tall glass doors of my get-ready room turned out amazing. At sunset, Jenn and her assistant took my husband and me to the vineyards across the street to get golden hour shots. She ensured that everything before sunset happened on time, so we had enough time to do this. This showed her work ethic and passion for the job. Because I've never done a professional photoshoot before, I felt awkward and nervous being in front of the camera, but Jenn kept making such funny jokes that it relaxed me. She also instructed me how to pose and fixed my wedding dress train and hair whenever it needed to look good for the camera. She knew how to compose the perfect shot. *chef's kiss* Before my wedding, I didn't realize how much time you spend with your photographer on the big day. Because of this, you need someone who is lighthearted, fun, compassionate, understanding, resourceful, comforting, and passionate about their job. This is who Jenn is. She was not only an amazing photographer, but she was a good friend and therapist. Let me list everything she did for me during my wedding: - Hugged me when I nearly cried out of frustration (therapist). - Answered all sorts of random wedding questions me and my bridesmaid had (resourceful). - Taught my bridesmaids how to put on a veil (resourceful). - Bustled my train for me (helpful). - Took my husband and I aside for precious one-on-one time so that we could have a moment together before the craziness began (experienced). - Brought me boba from my boba station because I was stuck talking to family and friends (good friend). - She offered to play the "bad guy" who would stop guests from spending too much time with me because our wedding timeline was tight and packed with activities (good friend). - She even stayed overtime unpaid to capture some dancing photos (loves her job). She went ABOVE AND BEYOND our expectations, and I can't wait to hire her for family photos one day. Love you, Jenn!

Picking a photographer was the toughest decision for me when wedding planning, and I am so glad I went with Jenn.

Nirav's talent is unmatched and he will always make you look and feel great during the photo shoot and entire event. Thank you, Nirav, you are one of a kind!

Summary of my rather long post: Find an excuse to work with Nirav. Seriously. You will not be…read moredisappointed. If you want the longer version, keep reading... :) So, just over a year and a half ago, my (now) husband and I got engaged and I knew right away that photography would be one of the most important elements of our wedding. Almost as soon as we got engaged, I began the hunt for the perfect photographer and we luckily stumbled across Nirav's work. We were immediately enamored with it, how he is able to capture and perfect seemingly peaceful moments framed and executed in a way only a practiced fine art photographer can. We loved his ability to fall into the background and capture sweet and candid moments of his subjects. So mere weeks after we were engaged, we booked Nirav, and my husband and I are SO glad we did. A few months before our wedding, we met Nirav for our engagement shoot and he immediately put us at ease - we had never had photos taken of us before so it took a little getting used to. By the end of the session, Nirav genuinely seemed like a friend we had known for far longer than a couple hours. Not to mention the pictures came out amazingly - they not only make us look good, but they also beautifully captured the scenery around us. Fast forward to the day of our wedding. Nirav was patient, diligent, and knew exactly what he was doing. As you can imagine, weddings can be hectic and Nirav and the second shooter he brought with him that day (Amari) kept things running smoothly and did not add to the fray. When we received our photos from the wedding, they were AMAZING. Truly, truly amazing. I literally teared up as I saw them for the first time. He was able to naturally and organically capture genuine moments between me and my husband, and of our families and guests. While we had several amazing vendors on the day of our wedding, Nirav was perhaps the best. We hope we can find another occasion to work with him in the future!

Everything about working with Lindsey was above and beyond compare. She scheduled our session via…read moreemail (great for a new mama), and was super responsive as we planned. We were nervous about the shoot as parents to a 2 week old, but Lindsey was a pro and took care of us and our babe. The studio was warm, she had everything set up ahead of time, and she kept our new baby asleep for 2 hours like some kind of baby whisperer. It was so relaxing that dad fell asleep in the comfy chairs as Lindsey worked her magic! And the best part - the photos were beyond my wildest dreams. Cannot recommend Lindsey enough...she even made me look good 2 weeks post c section on zero sleep! Oh yes and she was Covid safe and even had snacks in her studio.

She brought a whole bag of adorable outfits and props, and she was happy to let us choose some of our own outfits, too. For this session we decided to stay home and take photos around our house and yard, and they turned out beautifully. We are so pleased with these special keepsakes! Constance also made it easy to review the raw photo collection after the shoot, choose the ones we wanted, and deliver the final files all online. She also offers large size prints! In the future I'd love to do an on-location shoot with our son in the redwoods of Oakland. I already have ideas :) Thank you, Constance!

Anne-Claire shot our engagement and wedding photos, and we couldn't recommend her more highly. My…read morehusband is a filmmaker and dabbles in photography, so we knew that photography was going to be an important investment for us. Of all the portfolios we looked at (and we looked at MANY), Anne-Claire's was the only one that fit the style and attention to detail we were looking for, and working with her did not disappoint. All of our photos came out STUNNING, and she made absolute magic out of our couple portraits, which had to be taken entirely indoors due to the pouring rain the night of our wedding. She has such a good eye for light and framing, it was hard to narrow down favorites from either shoot because we loved SO MANY of our photos! We also really loved her style of shooting - she knew how to capture all the right moments at exactly the right times, but you otherwise didn't notice her unless necessary (like when shooting our family portraits). Anne-Claire was super responsive over email, very thorough in her shot planning before the wedding, and we'd jump at the chance to work with her again. Absolutely worth the investment for the beauty she captured in this huge milestone of our lives.

My wife…read moreand I were a bit nervous when hiring a photographer, since whoever you hire only gets one chance to capture such an important event. We felt so reassured after our initial talk with Anne-Claire when she explained her philosophy of capturing authentic emotions, human connection, and sense memories.

Since we've started sharing our photos with people, we have been hearing nonstop praise about the quality of the photos. We highly recommend Anne-Claire - if you're looking for a photographer who will not just capture an event but also create incredible art, she's your person!
