    My husband and I went to a wedding fair and saw Gina there, who was doing a raffle for a free engagement shoot, and we almost passed up the opportunity, but I am SO glad we didn't. Not only did we win the free shoot, but more importantly we found a photographer for LIFE. Gina is patient, funny, has a GREAT eye, and a genuine love for what she does and it shows. She makes everyone so comfortable and has all the right cues and angles for you to take the most flattering photos. My husband and I loved working with her so much that we absolutely hired her for our wedding along with her husband, Doug, who is also a very talented photographer. (They are a power couple!) We've also hired them for family portraits and will continue to do so for all of our major life events for years to come. Even my brother and his fiancé saw how amazing she was at our photo sessions and they have now hired her and Doug to shoot their wedding as well! You've just gotta hire her. You will not regret it!

    This is a long over due shoutout for just how amazing Gina has been for out wedding! Shes honestly the best in the business and I dont think it's even close. Just look at the photos I mean they speak for themselves and these are just a couple of the hundreds of amazing shots. But throughout the whole process, from engagement shoot where we first got to work together it was a blast. Shes extremely fun, very funny and entertaining throughout and makes it all so easy. I'm extremely terrible at posing, knowing where to look and put my hands and turn etc and she helped with all of it. Plus the day of the wedding, photos were fantastic and she was everywhere but at the same time never in anyones way. Her, her husband and assistants were all phenomenal. We were definitely lucky to work with her and plan to be calling her anytime we need photos done. Thank you again!!

    Gina's photos provided us with the perfect memories of our wedding day. From our first consultation all the way through to preparing our wedding album, Gina used her expertise to help us get the most from our pictures. Our family was so impressed how quickly and efficiently she could marshal all 45 of them for our group picture, all while keeping us on schedule. She implemented little personalized touches that made us feel so special and let us know how important our day was to her as well. I would honestly recommend her to anyone for weddings, engagement, or family photos. Thank you Gina.

    I love love love Gina!! She is not only an amazing photographer but she makes the experience so delightful!! She and her husband were wonderful to work with. She does so much prework and planning to make sure that she captured all of the special moments, and was quick to capture candid moments as well!! I would absolutely seek her services again and would recommend Gina to anyone!!

    Gina Halferty is hands down an amazing photographer, my husband and I couldn't be more happy to have chosen her for our wedding day. A year prior to my wedding, I reached out to at least 10 different photographers. I chose Gina because I loved her photography style but also because she was extremely personable and happy to work with me to create an individualized photo package. During our engagement session + wedding, it was clear that she is a perfectionist when it comes to her photos. Gina is genuinely patient and takes time to get the right angle, lighting, etc. She also made sure to incorporate my favorite poses! Gina has a great sense of humor and personality; which helped my husband and I be at ease (initially we were nervous, haha). Anyways, 5 stars for Gina, the quality of her work is worth every penny!

    I was looking for a photographer in the Brentwood area as a graduation gift for my niece. She was…read moregraduating high school, and I wanted to make this moment extra special for her. I came across Kree's Yelp page because of how close she was, but what really stood out was her website--the caliber and vibrancy of her photos were incredible. I knew right away she'd be a perfect fit for capturing my niece, both in her cap and gown and in her super colorful prom dress (which I was confident Kree could do justice!). From the moment I reached out, Kree was super responsive and easy to communicate with. The contract was simple and straightforward, pricing was fair and the breakdown of her packages were awesome. and she helped us agree on a time and location that worked perfectly, not far from our house either, which was a huge plus. On the day of the shoot, Kree arrived right on time and immediately made my niece feel comfortable. Since it was my niece's first time being professionally photographed, I appreciated how Kree guided her with poses and gave her direction to bring out her best angles. She was friendly, patient, and made the whole experience fun. We received the edited photos about two weeks later, and they were amazing, better than I could have imagined. Kree truly captured my niece's personality and the significance of the moment. Highlights for me: super responsive communication, an easy-to-understand contract, a convenient location, her friendly demeanor, and of course, the beautiful final photos. Thanks so much Kree!!!

She was shocked that I hired her having only looked at her portfolio, but I knew from the photos she had of another wedding at my venue that she would do a great job.

I appreciate her working with my husband who is camera shy and managing to document beautiful moments with our chaotic (but sweet) families. I know we made her nervous because we were pretty laid back and I am so appreciative she kindly made us take certain photos even though we said they were not important. I would highly recommend her to anyone!

After seeing his profile, we knew that we wanted him to capture our big day. He was professional and responded to emails quickly. He was also very fun to work with too. All my families and bridal and groomsmen parties had amazing experience with him. We are generally camera shy but his upbeat energy made us so comfortable. He guided us on exactly how and where to pose for photos. He was so nice, funny, and patient. Toan made sure that not only did we have time for photos with family, friends, and bridal/groomsen, but also time for the couple photos too. His expertise and professionalism made such a positive impact on our wedding experience. We ended up going for 2 photographers and his price for 2 photographers was very reasonable. His assistance Hai also did amazing work. We were so happy we made this decision for 2 photographers. We only had 2 hours for photos with our parties before ceremony time and having 2 photographers made a HUGE difference as one could focus on the bride and bridesmaid and the other on the groom and groomsmen. Thank you again Toan and Hai for your incredible work in capturing one of the most important days of our life on June 28, 2026. You both captured special moments throughout our wedding that now we can look back and relive them. I highly recommend ToanVen and his team for photography service, you will not regret it.

We worked with Alina by sharing our preferred photo spots and some inspo photos to communicate a "vibe" we liked. Alina offered some great new ideas, too. On the wedding day, Alina managed to capture the magic of all the details -- candid shots of our friends and family, snapshots of the venue and florals, and more. We had such a blast looking at the album; it was like reliving the day! The true joy, however, was sharing our photos with our family. They shared that the pictures were show-stopping and have repeatedly asked for prints for themselves! (Lots of, "and your photographer was just incredible, truly.") They cannot believe how spectacular our photos turned out, and we have to agree. Our jaws were on the floor looking through the album! Shooting with Alina was comfortable, too. She is such a sweet soul and I only hope I have a chance to work with her again in the future! Thanks, Alina, for capturing our special day -- so glad we can return to these pictures to remember it!

I've already recommended her to several friends--and will continue to do so. I reached out to Xinlei in a bit of a panic, hoping to capture newborn photos at home. Thankfully, she was available and offered a wonderful "Watch Me Grow" package that included sessions at newborn (added fee), 6 months, and 12 months. I really wanted newborn photos in our home so we could include our two dogs and remember this special chapter--bringing our baby home to our San Francisco house. Like any new mom, I was overwhelmed. The day of the shoot was pure chaos--baby had a blowout, peed on the bed, skipped her nap, and I wasn't fully ready when Xinlei arrived. But Xinlei was so calm, patient, and reassuring. She made us feel completely at ease, even when everything felt messy. I genuinely thought there was no way we got any good photos from that session. But when the gallery came back, I was blown away. The photos were stunning. They beautifully captured our new family--full of warmth and love. You'd never guess how hectic that day really was. The 6- and 12-month shoots were just as smooth. Xinlei was consistently kind, creative, and patient--and the photos were incredible every time. I've received so many compliments, and I can't wait to work with her again. If you're even thinking about booking her, do it. You won't regret it! Also her pricing is very reasonable!!

As a new mom, who delivered 5 weeks early, I was disappointed not to have had a chance for a maternity shoot and overwhelmed trying to research accommodating photographers whose work I loved. After 3 months with a preemie we were finally ready and Xinlei was recommended by a close friend. She was amazing!! We selected her "Watch Me Grow" package that included sessions at newborn (she allowed us to do this at 3 months), 6 months, and 12 months. I really wanted my daughter's photos in our home so we could include our puppy and the brand new home we had just moved into. On zero sleep, still struggling to "feel like myself", realizing I had only selected outfits for the baby, and forgetting to eat... Xinlei was exactly who we needed. She came with bringing baked goods from Paris Baguette for my husband and I (hangry husband would not make for a good shoot! Haha), loved on our attention-starved puppy, and was so patient when our daughter feel asleep / had to take a milk break in the middle of the shoot. We laughed the whole time, got to know each other, and all felt so at ease! She even included my mother who was visiting in a few photos - something so special to us. The gallery (for all our sessions) blew us away. The photos were beautiful, captured our growing little family... and she even included a few fun blooper pictures (a given with a newborn, 6m, or 1 yr old) for laughs! We also looked forward to our sessions. Xinlei is so thoughtful, patient, and deliver beautiful quality work. I would highly recommend!!
