We honestly cannot say enough wonderful things about Jeff; From the very beginning, several weeks…read morebefore our wedding, he was absolutely amazing. What started as a photographer-client relationship quickly became a genuine friendship, and by the time our wedding arrived, it felt like Jeff was one of our friends who just happened to be there capturing every special moment. Jeff was with us for two full days, covering every part of our wedding celebrations, and he was incredible from start to finish. On Day 1, he captured our afternoon Indian Haldi ceremony at Sachin's sister's house before joining us that evening for our Welcome Party, Mendi and Henna celebrations. He made everyone feel comfortable, and he somehow managed to capture all the little moments, emotions, laughter and craziness that made the evening so special. Then came Day 2, which was the incredibly full wedding day. Jeff was there early to capture pre-ceremony photos. He then captured our multicultural wedding ceremony, followed by personal photographs, whilst somehow having time to simultaneously capture our guests throughout the cocktail hour; Jeff was with us throughout the reception into the night. Despite how much was happening over the two days, Jeff was always very calm, professional, energetic and completely on top of everything. One of the things that impressed us most was how brilliantly Jeff worked with everyone else involved in our wedding. He was in perfect sync with our videographer and wedding planner, and the three of them worked together seamlessly. He also coordinated incredibly well with the team at El Prado Hotel in Palo Alto, making sure everything ran smoothly without ever making us feel like we had anything to worry about. But beyond his incredible photography and professionalism, what really stood out was Jeff himself. Our family and friends absolutely loved him. He has such a wonderful personality and was able to blend into the celebrations while still being incredibly attentive to what needed to be captured. He made people laugh, put everyone at ease and somehow managed to be everywhere he needed to be without ever feeling intrusive. He didn't just photograph our wedding -- he became part of it. We are so grateful that Jeff was there to capture these memories for us. Looking back, we know we made the right choice, not only because of the incredible photographs he captured, but because of the experience we had with him along the way. We would recommend Jeff to anyone without hesitation. Jeff, thank you for everything. We absolutely loved having you with us.

I originally saw Jeff in action at my sister's wedding, where his work blew everyone away. Seeing…read morehis professionalism, watching his ideas take shape in real time, and seeing the final results made sure he was the only person I thought of for my own future photos. As a photographer myself, I understand what it takes to execute at that level. While I can shoot weddings and engagements, whenever people ask me to do theirs, I pass them straight over to Jeff because I want them to get the best experience possible. He has now photographed our engagement, wedding, and maternity sessions, and we couldn't love our photos more. At Nestledown for our engagement session, he was up for anything, traipsing up and down hills with us just to get the light right through the trees. At Boulder Ridge in San Jose for our wedding, the final gallery was mind-blowing. He got unbelievable shots of the sky and captured all the raw emotion of the day. During the ceremony itself, he was totally discreet. We couldn't even tell where he was standing, yet he managed to get the best angles of the entire day. He also made group photos so much fun by keeping the whole bridal party and us cracking up the entire time. When we brought up an umbrella idea, he brought it to life by creating an awesome "rain" and mist effect right on the spot. While out on the golf course, he caught a shot of us during an epic sunset that turned into our favorite photo of the day. The giant print hanging in our house from that moment gets non-stop "wow" reactions from anyone who walks through our door, with people genuinely shocked by how good it looks. On top of all that, I threw a real curveball at him in the dark. The local fire department came out to support us with a fire engine, creating a brutal glare and bright spotlights facing straight toward his lens. Jeff adjusted on the fly to get me, my bride, the firefighters, and the engine all crisp and well lit without blowing out the shot. For our maternity shoot, we met at a local park in Concord. Even with a busy park backdrop, Jeff kept things simple, elegant, and completely comfortable for us. He has a way of making you feel completely relaxed in front of the camera, and the results speak for themselves. 10/10 recommendation for anyone looking for a photographer in the Bay Area. You will be so glad you booked him!

I'll admit, I didn't secure him for my daughter's celebration party a few weeks later, and I so regret it. I was worried about the cost since we splurged for him in the first place.

Not only do you get someone who possesses true artistry and talent, but also someone who is a consummate pro.

My picky teenagers also really connected well with him, and he was able to make them feel comfortable and respected. He treats everyone with dignity, and you can tell he's a very cool dad himself.

Kevin photographed my wedding last month and was truly a great find. Most of the photographers we…read morefound on Zola were way over our budget or not quite the style we were looking for. We were fortunate that we found Kevin through our coordinator. Kevin is VERY easygoing and down to earth. He is also clearly experienced and keeps things pretty casual while shooting, which makes photos a little more bearable for people who really can't stand taking photos such as myself. I was also super annoyed/snapping at my now husband pretty much up until the ceremony (there was a lot going on, I promise I'm usually nice to him) but Kevin somehow made me look not as angry as I actually was in the photos, so that's a win! A major standout was when things immediately after the ceremony did not go as planned, and the order of events we had discussed with another vendor did not go as we expected. My husband and I were definitely not thrilled, and our coordinator was prepping for our reception so she was not there at that moment. Kevin took control of the situation to try to make things go the way we had originally hoped they would go, which involved herding people he obviously didn't know. He definitely went above and beyond there, and my guests definitely noticed. I agree with the review about Kevin being a mind reader- he has very good emotional intelligence and is somehow everywhere. My officiant was wearing a Snoopy pin which I was freaking out about because I love Snoopy, and somehow he was there at that moment and got a closeup of it. My coworkers and I all took a shot together, and out of nowhere he showed up and started taking pictures. There was also a moment my uncle "stole" a slice of pizza from my one year old nephew that my family couldn't stop talking about, and Kevin managed to capture the moments before and after the "theft". No one even realized that he had taken those photos until I sent them the pictures. There's a reason (or rather, many reasons) Kevin has all five star reviews! Book him!

Otherwise if you are like me you will post it once on Facebook and never look at them again. My photos blown up and hung up look even better than when digitalized If you want amazing photos don't hesitate to hire Steven! I decided to hire Steven after he shot my daughter's preschool photos. After I saw the best school photo I've ever seen I decided to take the plunge and hire him for a family session I have to admit I was disappointed in the past photographers I've hired. I was sucked in by their low prices only to be handed very unimaginative and bland photos. I saw samples of Steven's work and I was amazed at how different his quality of work is. He does this as a career as opposed to others who advertise themselves as photographers but only do it as a hobby The difference is huge. My family session photos are so much better than any photos I've gotten from other photographers. His really cares about the quality of his work and it shows Yes you won't be paying $150 for 30 digital images but you will be getting stellar quality photos. My kids are only this young once and I really wanted to be able to look back at these photos for years to come. To get such amazing photos of my family is priceless. Please hire Steven you won't regret i
