My husband and I have always been a huge fan of Will's work so when we got engaged, we had no idea…read morewhere we wanted to take pictures or when but we knew right off the bat that HE was going to shoot our engagement photos! We inquired via his website which was super easy - the usual information requested along with a short questionnaire so he can gauge what kind of services/vibes we're going for. The response turnaround was less than an hour! We love a quick turnaround :) --- We officially booked him in December with a February photoshoot day. He provided a link to his session guides to help with outfits and general details - this was super helpful & answered a lot of our initial questions. I sent him a bunch of inspo pics that I really liked to help him with the vibe we were going for. He ensured that he would make our pictures special to us but he really appreciated the inspo. We opted for a Downtown Modesto photoshoot (we're locals) - McHenry Mansion, The Intermission, State Theater (we paid for a message on the marquee to read "COMING SOON: The Marinos!") We also wanted to include our pup in one of our pictures and Will was more than happy to accommodate, he even gave us a recommendation of keeping our pup's leash to a neutral color (no reflective leashes or bright colors) because they tend to distract in photos. I never would have thought about that! Sooooo for photoshoot day came &&& he made us feel so comfortable. We aren't the best posers, but he was so patient - he gave us directions when needed but he wanted us to just be ourselves & relax. My husband (fiance at the time) isn't a person that enjoys being in front of a camera but at the end of the session he literally said "he made a guy who hates taking photos very comfortable," & let me know tell you - that speaks volumes! He would show us previews on his camera throughout the session & they were already amazing so we were excited to see everything he captured. We didn't have to wait long to see our pictures because he got it edited & sent in literally a day, maybe 2 but WOWZERS - WILL HAS A GIFT & our pictures turned out BEAUTIFUL! He definitely has an eye & after following his work for years, it was so cool to finally see us through his lens. He did not disappoint! The warmth of his photos and the way he is able to catch all the candids. So awesome. We ended up using his pictures for our Save the Dates, on our wedding website, and sprinkled them throughout our wedding decor :) Will is not only an amazing photographer, he is also a great person. He lives up to the hype & if you book him, he will definitely go above and beyond & give you pictures that you'll want showoff :)

My husband and I are so happy that we were able to get to know Will and have him share our special…read moreday. From the moment we chatted with Will we knew he was going to be a perfect match. He was not only extremely professional but he was so helpful with all kinds of wedding planning, even from day one! He was familiar with the area we were getting married in and sent over a few galleries for us to see what he had photographed previously in these areas. We were originally going to split coverage with 2 days of shooting. Will had helped us plan the logistics and timing for both days to ensure we get the best light for photos each day. As with most 2020 weddings, we had to make many changes to our day (and eventually condensed it down to one day with only family) and Will, yet again, helped us plan out a new timeline to ensure that we got all the shots we wanted. We even were able to take a small trip to a different location for our First Look. It is very obvious that Will has been doing this a long time as he has an eye for detail. He helped around the venue on the day of; helping our florist tie down our decorations and being sure my dress was stored safely! My whole family loved Will's friendly disposition and soft-spoken nature. He is overly kind-hearted and he brought out the best in us! Will went above and beyond his duties as a photographer and an artist. He not only captured our special day so we could share it with those that weren't able to join but he gave us well-thought-out works of art that my husband and I will cherish forever. Even after our photos were ready to view, he still put in extra time and effort to make a few adjustments/edits to our prints! In the end, all I can say about Will is that if you have the chance to work with him, do it! His work is breathtakingly beautiful. A true artist ;)

Deanna was the best decision we could have made for our wedding journey. We fell in love with her…read morework before we even had the chance to fall in love with her. The way she captures true emotions is an indescribable art. She brings you in, making you feel comfortable and walks you through every motion if you need it. I highly recommend booking the engagement photo session with her as well. We got to know each other before the big day and honestly it was just extra time I am glad we had with her. We took our engagement photos at Filoli Historic Home and Gardens and there was no rush to "get the right shots" it was just a relaxed fun day capturing love and playfulness. She lets you be you an unedited, encouraging the quirky moments. That was no different on the wedding day. She heard our vision and was a great partner in the process to capture the Euro feel my husband and I were looking for. Deanna and Michael (second shooter) were the perfect pair to have on our big day. I would trust them over and over again to capture the big moments and hope to work with them again in the future!

So happy I got to have Deanna as my wedding photographer! When I was looking for a wedding…read morephotographer back in early 2019 Deanna was recommended by my Cinnabar Hills event coordinator. After speaking to Deanna on the phone I knew she would be the right fit for my needs. I love her energy and approach about getting to know her clients. Deanna provides a variety of galleries for new clients to view on her website, she's very familiar with a lot of popular wedding venues and outdoor locations for engagement and special occasion photos. My husband and I had Deanna take our engagement photos at Picchetti Winery, it was a blast! Since she's familiar with the venue she was very diligent on where to take photos to capture the mood. Deanna took both our engagement & wedding photos, we purchased the package that also included the wedding album; worth the money! I definitely recommend having her team create your wedding album, ours is absolutely stunning and its a great fixture on our coffee table. We love that we have all our engagement and wedding photos on our dropbox, but its really nice to have a physical book to share with your family. We also paid extra to have her take photos at our rehearsal dinner, I'm so happy we have those memories saved. To future brides in the Bay Area - Look for a photographer that can cover both your engagement and wedding photos, it's an important relationship for your wedding journey and I lucked out to have Deanna.
