E&B did our wedding at the Piedmont Community Hall Labor Day weekend. Both of the photographers…read morewere extremely friendly, creative and super easy to work with. They were super helpful with figuring out how to naturally pose us. Their pricing is extremely affordable. They were able to capture some images I never thought of. I actually regret that I did not do our engagement session with them. We used another photographer who does not have as much experience. I am completely happy with the preview photos we got a few weeks after our wedding. I can't wait for the final installment.

E&B did wedding photos for us for our ceremony and reception in Walnut Creek, and they did an…read moreexcellent job. Not only did the photos come out great, but they were professional and efficient with posed photos. That ended up being really important to us because it was extremely hot out (103!), so it was great to get through the photos quickly and get everyone back into the shade! Due to some unforeseen complications with our venue, we had to change both the venue and the schedule slightly, relatively late into the planning process. E&B were extremely helpful in figuring out how we could still get all the time for photos we needed, even proactively looking around for an air-conditioned space we could use to take pictures before the ceremony itself. I'd wholeheartedly recommend them for wedding photos, they were able to take charge when needed for posed photos to make sure we got some excellent shots, but other than that we wouldn't even have known they were there! Chris was great to communicate with, and Christian and Ella did such a great job with the photography day-of! They were all a joy to work with and I would highly recommend e&b photography.

Having Marc and Gia and the entirety of Gala Photo and Films were one of the highlights of our…read moreentire wedding planning experience. My husband and I immediately connected with Marc and our sessions felt very comfortable and fun. Marc's counseling helped us look not as awkward as we felt, since we are not used to getting our photos taken. The resulting photos and videos were stunning! We are so happy that Gala Photo and Films were a part of our vendor team because they captured so many beautiful moments, and added the magical element during the day of our wedding by being so funny and easy to get along with. Marc was able to capture the poses that I requested with the wedding party, our immediate families, and our large families. Communication is an important part to execute this large project and Marc was able to pull through after any inquiry or concern that I had. I only wish that we had the opportunity to meet Gia, but we understand that they are extremely booked and busy. So if their style matches your preference, I would immediately inquire with Gala Photo and Films because they did such a great job and such a joy to work with!

Gala Photo and Films exceeds what would be expected of a wedding photographer. This dynamic duo,…read morehusband-wife team, will quickly grow to be your favorite wedding vendor as their passion and genuineness shines through each call, email, and of course - every photo - that they take. My husband and I had the opportunity to work closely with Gia for our engagement shoot and wedding day and we could not be more grateful for how comfortable she made us feel. We're both a bit awkward in front of a camera but Gia's kindness and professionalism made us feel like naturals! Gala Photo specializes in bright, natural photography which really made them stand out to me during a time where 'moody' and 'burnt' photography was trendy. After receiving our sneak peeks, it became evident to me that these photos will stand the test of time, far past any trend, and that Marc and Gia go above and beyond to make sure each and every photo is perfect. Aside from photography, Gia (and our second shooter for the day, Luis) were excellent in navigating the chaos that a wedding day can bring! From helping to coordinate schedules that didn't involve photography, gathering large groups of friends and family members for photos, and even to Gia giving me a ride to my wedding venue due to a last minute hiccup - they quickly became my pillar of calmness! If we had to do it over again, we would choose Gala! The quality of their photos and their eagerness to work with couples make them an obvious, and the best, choice!

My fiance and I hired her to shoot engagement photos and Rachel made the experience not only comfortable but fun.

We would give her more than 5 stars if we had the option!

Rachel made it super fun and effortless, even with a couple little ones! She had so many great pose ideas for our big group. She edited them perfectly and had them back to us very quickly!

We chose Uncommon Weddings to cover both photo and video for our February wedding in Carmel after…read morehours of research looking through social media, trying to find the best fit for what we want and our budget. We opted for their highest/most expensive package since it seemed worth it - and we were right! The whole team, Sway, Sean (lead videographer) and Camille (lead photographer) are very responsive from the start all the way to the end. Sean, Camille and their associates arrived on time, they were professional and worked seamlessly with all our other vendors. The crazy part is, I didn't notice where they were at all during the ceremony and reception, but they were able to capture all the special parts, big or small, in a candid way that really captured how we felt during those moments! We also highlighted early on that our parents and our dog are very important to us, and it showed on our final photos and videos! They delivered the photos and videos earlier than promised and are very accommodating with all the edit requests we had! For the photos, they already edited almost everything we would've chosen ourselves, we only had to ask for around 15 more edits just to capture a bit more and we are very happy with the results! Camille nailed our portraits shots too! And the team handled the colors and edits of those shots so perfectly, there's really nothing much to ask for. Their video portfolio is the main reason we chose them; their style is exactly what we wanted and they didn't disappoint! Our final highlight video is so beautiful, so well thought out, and it showcased our wedding in a way that we will truly cherish forever! The reception and ceremony videos are so well done too, we are so happy with the results! Sean really has the creative eye for this, and his vision aligned exactly with how we wanted our videos to feel. We can't recommend the Uncommon Weddings enough! Thank you, Sway, Sean and Camille for capturing one of the best days of our lives!

The entire process -from first conversation, to book, to prep, to final product- was amazing. Sway and his team were super prompt with answering any questions or acting on any suggestions we had leading up to the day. Everyone working the event, including our lead videographer, Cliff, put so much care and attention into making us feel like we were their ONLY clients. They beautifully captured our ceremony while never feeling like they were in the way. Our reception was joyfully raucous, and the footage reflects that impeccably. And when it comes to the highlight video, we are OBSESSED! We really appreciate that they were able to tweak it slightly after we gave feedback, and they flawlessly edited our footage to one of our favorite songs. It was also remarkable just how much footage they captured! It really felt like they were able to record every single special moment of that day. There was at least one point where they knew that there was an opportunity to capture something we specifically requested, and kindly gave us prompts in order to achieve the moment. Their directions were clear and easy, and those moments were recorded exactly as we envisioned. Something that was equally appreciated was how well they worked with our other vendors, especially our photographers. They meshed so effortlessly with the photo team that at many points during the day, my wife and I thought they were all part of the same group! Their excellent collaboration and communication skills made the entire day go by smoothly not just for us, but for everyone working the event. They also captured the joy in our guests and found moments that we otherwise would have missed. There was one moment in particular, when the DJ played Bohemian Rhapsody, and the entire reception started rocking out. Screaming, fists in the air, head banging. Uncommon captured it all. They made us look like rockstars, and I'm so thankful that we have that to look back on for the rest of our lives. They truly listened to everything we had to say, from our wishlist to the vibe that we were going for, to the style of videography. The team will hear all of your needs and go above and beyond to accommodate. Thank you to Sway and the team for perfectly capturing the best day of our lives! With love and gratitude, Mark and Jen

Meg is simply amazing. A talented photographer, but also one of the most organized vendors we…read moreworked with -- honestly, she could double as a wedding coordinator with the level of detail and forethought she brings. Our engagement shoot with her was fun and laid-back, and she provided a fantastic guide with a wide selection of photoshoot locations to choose from. The week of the shoot, she was flexible and helped us pivot to Filoli and Golden Gate Park when we realized it would be rainy -- and the results were stunning. On top of her professionalism, she is so easygoing and genuinely fun to spend time with (which matters since you spend more time with your photographer than almost anyone else on your wedding day!). Her photography speaks for itself -- dreamy editing that is meticulous while still capturing the natural beauty of the surroundings. We love her documentary style because nothing feels forced. Even though we aren't the most comfortable in front of the camera, Meg had an endless supply of cute prompts that helped us relax and pose naturally. On the wedding day we ran a bit behind schedule, but Meg stayed calm and cool even while managing our large and lively extended Asian family. We are absolutely obsessed with every single photo she delivered. She was hands down our favorite and most valuable vendor -- worth every penny and more!

Our engagement shoot involved three different locations in the city, and are still some of my favorite photos ever taken, especially those at Cafe Zoetrope. She was so fun and relaxing to be around, so we have super fond memories of that day. Meg's talent in natural settings made her the perfect choice for our May wedding at Harvest Inn in St. Helena. As soon as she stepped on the scene, she was always doing the MOST and making magic happen. She even sent us our gallery way sooner than expected, and we were just blown away by the variety of stunning images. Along with being a pleasure to work with, she is super organized with her email communication and attention to detail, which I so appreciated. She is the BEST!

We loved how they would give gentle reminders for posture or suggestions for poses to make sure we look amazing. Throughout the shoot, both Nan and Jamie checked in with me to make sure I was feeling okay and reassured me we would get all the shots envisioned. Before the big day, Nan not only provided us with vendor recommendations, but she also checked in with us periodically to make sure we had everything booked. They really went above and beyond to make this experience easy and memorable. I would recommend them to anyone searching for a photographer! They also have a beautiful collection of wedding dresses for rent! I went dress fitting at many locations around the bay and none of the dresses I tried on could match to theirs. While the collection may be smaller than other places, I felt like the quality and overall aesthetic of each dress was unmatched. Jamie also went out of her way to adjust and deliver the dress to me when we found some last minute adjustments needed. We really appreciated both Jamie and Nan for making our day super special and stress free~ Thank you both so much!

She is a very creative photographer with great ideas and an even better attitude. Our first choice of engagement photos location did not work out as it was unfortunately too windy, but instead of charging us more for a second day of her time she did it free of charge. She gave us the photos from both engagement sessions which were all professionally edited and captured. You can download your photos straight from her website in web and original quality. The wedding photos are amazing. Emma and her second photographer were happy, energetic, and an overall pleasure to work with. There are a lot of photos that capture the emotion of the day that we would not have had if she had not made comments to help bring us out of our shell instead of worrying about everything being perfect. We are very happy with the final product and also the speed of which she got us all of our wedding photographs. Emma also worked with us on the timing of the event to be sure we captured everything during the big day. We can't thank her enough for all the hard work and the dedication she gives to her craft and her clients. Thank you Emma for such an amazing job!
