I have written quite a few reviews (at anyplace possible) for Annie now, and still, I don't have…read moresufficient words for the magnitude of her AMAZING work! I repeatedly hear that they've never seen wedding photos as spectacular as ours, but that's merely because they haven't seen Annie's other wedding photos!!! :) When I think of wedding photos, I generally think of stale, static photos that are easily interchangeable by switching out the bride and groom, a few flowers, and colorful dresses. Annie's photos don't fall into this category! She is not a "wedding photographer" the way you generally think of wedding photographers. She is a brilliant photojournalist who will generously apply her artistry to your wedding. After first discovering her work, I can't stop looking at her pictures! I'm addicted to her blog to see all she's doing. They say a picture's worth 1000 words. Hers, on the other hand, leave me speechless!!! Check her out at http://anniexphoto.com

We've been lucky enough to have Steph photograph both our engagement and our wedding, and we can…read morehonestly say she is something special. For our engagement shoot, she made magic out of the space we were in. When the weather shifted mid-session, she didn't miss a beat--she helped us lean in, and the result was some of the most spectacular photos we've ever seen. She even went above and beyond to include our old (and rather temperamental) dog, creating the sweetest memories that we'll hold onto forever. For our wedding, Steph was incredible. She has this beautiful presence--she's fully there, warm, grounded, yet somehow moves so effortlessly and quietly that she captures moments no one else would have noticed. She is as creative and artistic as she is kind and easy to be around. For us, she became immediate family. The photos from our day are filled with so much heart, soul, and beauty. Both Steph and her work are true treasures.

Stephanie has been our photographer and honestly just our person for over 10 years. She's shot our…read morewedding in San Francisco (we live in Truckee), maternity photos, annual family portraits, and professional headshots and photoshoots. She remembers when we're due for photos before we do and just reaches out and that's just who she is. She literally talked me out of skipping a photographer at our City Hall wedding. I'm so glad she did. Those photos are everything to us. As an interracial same-sex couple, finding someone we truly felt safe and celebrated with was huge. Stephanie has always been that without question. Our family wouldn't trust anyone else. Working with her is easy as she is always on top of everything from scheduling to communication to edits. She doesn't skip a beat if the wind picks up, snow turns to rain or the alpenglow never appears as we experienced this last year in our family shoot! She rolls with it and makes everyone around her feel calm and I would never give another name or question the recommendation!

I don't even know where to begin. Aubrey McCready is the most amazing and talented photographer…read more Hiring her to shoot my daughter's wedding this week was the best decision I have ever made. She is a true professional. We just received the "sneak peek" photos and I have been in tears. They are absolutely beautiful!!! I cannot thank you enough Aubrey for all you did and you are truly a wonderful person. I recommend hiring Aubrey McCready for any wedding or special event.

I surprised my sister with a photo shoot of the two of us (and our pups) for her birthday while we…read morewere visiting Tahoe. I chose Aubrey because her work is beautiful and very reasonably priced. She made the whole experience so fun and she was just awesome to work with! And WOW she made us feel so beautiful. We are so happy with the photos and I will definitely find a reason to do another session with her. On another note - I really like the fact that she takes so many photos and they're all included in the price. I didn't have to purchase them separately which I've seen a lot of other photographers do. Highly recommend! Thank you Aubrey!

My husband and I hired Ruthanne for our elopement in September 2019 in Napa. We are so happy we…read moreheld out for Ruthanne. Given it was literally just the two of us at our elopement (plus our pups) we wanted to capture the day in all the magic that it was. And Ruthanne did just that. Our elopement was at the Carneros Resort which was a 180 from the normal adventure elopement photos she usually takes. Ruthanne did SUCH an amazing job. I absolutely hate having my photo taken and after the first 5 minutes with Ruthanne I felt completely at ease. Our photos truly capture who we are together and aren't overly staged typical wedding photos. With that said, I feel like all of our photos could be in a vogue magazine. They are perfect. Would love to have Ruthanne take our photos again for our next big life moment!

I can't say enough good about Ruthanne. After following her on Instagram for a few months, all I…read morewanted was to shoot with her! Thankfully the opportunity arose and I was able to book an adventure session. Going in, we had no idea what to expect. But wow she was not joking when she named it that! We were hiking all over rocks and bushes covered in snow, falling and laughing. We had some truly incredible views and I got an amazing sneak peak just hours after we shot. Ruthanne was easy to get along with and was extremely knowledgeable about the area. I am so thankful that I found her and hope that we can work together again!

We definitely plan to work with him again in the future!

This was definitely the right decision for us!! Daniel knows the area very well & knew exactly where to meet for her pictures. He arrived on time, the meadow was an amazing choice! He captured the light beautifully setting behind the trees but keeping my daughter the spotlight. He was great with hand placement & we were very comfortable with him. And the pictures turned out FANTASTIC! He delivered the sneak peak just as he said he would, followed up with the edited pictures for us in a timely manner. If he were closer to us (we are in Illinois), we would use him for all of our pictures.

They came to our house to measure and helped us decide on the frame and size, and they were very happy to hang it for us when it came back from framing.

It could not have been an easier or more pleasant experience. I highly recommend Summit Side Photo if you want to own a spectacular piece of art.

Both my husband and I are not natural at posing for photos, and Holly did an amazing job at making us feel comfortable and making the photography fun. She played music and we had drinks and it felt way more like just having a good time than posed photography. Holly fit into the wedding perfectly, and knew how to capture all of the right moments. After the wedding, several of our friends told us how much they enjoyed Holly and how her vibe was perfect for our event. We've also seen a handful of the photos already, and they are PERFECT! Thank you Holly!!

He helped us figure everything out ahead of time (shot list, flow of the day, etc) and was incredibly professional and fun the day of the wedding. Most of the time, we didn't even notice he was around, which I think says a lot about a pro photographer. His photos were so incredible and he really did capture every special moment of our big day without being intrusive or making us feel rushed. For us, that was the perfect balance: great photos from a photographer who seamlessly blended into the scene of the day.

My standards were such that I probably wouldn't even be pleased if I shot the wedding myself!! My search for perfection frustrated my wife to no end... until a friend introduced us to Tim Halberg. Tim is relatively new to the Bay Area, having moved up from Santa Barbara where he started his business after attending the prestigious Brooks Institute of Photography. His work was an instant match for our wedding: Timeless, classy and, true to his brand, "Adventurous, Playful, Indulgent." Tim was an absolute delight to "work" with, and his photography is just perfect for helping us share and remember our wedding for the rest of our lives. Thanks Tim!
