We hired Tanarak Photography for our engagement photos and wedding photos. Tanarak was amazing -…read morehe provides candid shots that capture authentic emotions. In our engagement photos, Tanarak was great at both staged and candid shots. We had two locations in San Francisco - the Palace of Fine Arts and Lover's Lane. We had two outfits. Tanarak was patient and spent more than the allotted time and captured beautiful shots. We had a Fall wedding and it was everything we hoped for. Tanarak was on time and took so many photos throughout the day. He took photos while we were getting ready and captured our first looks. Then he took wedding party photos. For family photos, Tanarak was efficient and allowed us to enjoy cocktail hours. Tanarak provided our photographs within a few weeks of the wedding. Furthermore, the photos are beautiful. He captured our emotions, and his pictures have allowed us to relive the best days of our lives. We definitely would recommend Tanarak as a photographer.

Neezar photographed our engagement session and wedding day this year and we couldn't have asked for…read morea more professional, passionate, and talented photographer!!! The engagement session made us feel so comfortable behind the camera, that on our wedding day, we barely noticed Neezar and his second photographer, Jamil, capturing all of our special moments. Once we received our wedding pictures, my husband and I were in awe because literally every single picture was so perfect - we did not have one "bad photo"! The emotion that was captured in our pictures were impeccable and we were so thankful that we had found such an amazing photographer! Neezar was the most calm, patient and trusted vendor that we worked with and I would HIGHLY recommend him to anyone! I look forward to working with Neezar again as it's rare that you find someone who is so passionate and has so much positive energy around the work they do! Thank you so much, Neezar, for capturing our special day, allowing us to relive the most incredible moments and most importantly, becoming a family friend and someone who we'll call in a heartbeat to capture future events!

I researched about 20 different photographers and was able to narrow it down to three. Neezar was…read moreone of the three. I chose Neezar for several reasons: 1. Because he was willing to spend ALL day with us. i mean from early in the morning he was taking shots of me and my bridesmaids getting ready at the salon and his assistant was taking pictures of my husband and the groomsmen getting ready. And he stayed with us until the very end of the night. So we felt confident that not a moment was missed. 2. What I like about Neezar is that he has a very artistic eye. Not a lot of photographers have that. He will suggest what he thinks is best but if you don't like it, he doesn't get upset. His purpose is to please his clients. Most photographer with his level of talent are very cocky and want it their way, but Neezar is not that way. I have recommended Neezar to a couple of my friends who were getting married and they did not use his services because they did not want to pay his prices. Boy, was that a mistake on their part. They came back extremely disappointed, and you know why?!? Because they got what they paid for! If you want a quality photographer you will have to pay the price. Neezars prices are not unreasonable at all, but he isnt the least expensive photographer. But I promise, he is worth EVERY PENNY!!! And he wont nickle and dime you like many other photographers will try to do. In the end we were COMPLETELY SATISFIED with our photos and everyone who looks at our photos is impressed. I would recommend Neezar any day of the week. I promise you will agree with me if you hire him.

This is my first yelp review, Hurrah! After researching and interviewing so many wedding…read morephotographer, we were so lucky to find Tiffany through theknot.com. I fell in love with her style as soon as I saw her sample albums. She worked with us on both engagement session and wedding day. We are extremely happy about her work and felt the price is fair too. She is sweet, easy communication, and very professional - always respond our email and phone call right away. Our wedding was a day wedding. We had a crazy morning. But Tiffany was so calm and able to capture every precious moments of our big day from different angles. We received 1200 beautiful photos in the promised time. We would definitely recommend her to our families and friends

My…read moregirlfriend's pictures looked amazing and I wanted to capture the romantic yet casual and sexy atmosphere I was creating at my wedding. We did it at a private Villa in Santa Barbara and she was wonderful. She took the time to get to know each of us and created a custom package which fit our needs perfectly. She was early arriving and very professional the whole time. I like how the original photos on DVD were free. I talked to other photographers who were quite mum on this subject because they make money later when you try to order prints. I have found out she doesn't just do weddings so I am excited hire her again for our next big moment... Pregnancy pictures!!!! I highly recommend Tiffany!

I saw Katharine's ad on Yelp with a discounted sitting fee for April and May and arranged for her…read moreto take photos at a family event. She was responsive, professional and enthusiastic, and rolled really well with my tenuous planning. On the day of the event she showed up early, was great with the communications and was super patient with our general milling about - this was an informal event, more of a documentary photographic shoot than a formal shoot with lots of poses. She shot a lot of pics and turned around the images in record time, delivering the final product personally. I'm very happy with the results, it saved us from having to tote around our own cameras trying to capture the proceedings ourselves, and everyone got to be in the pictures. The coverage was very complete and there was some nice composition in the mix that we wouldn't have captured while trying to participate and take pics at the same time. Thanks, Katharine, for providing quality images of our family event and being so easy to work with!

My husband and I felt awkward about taking the more affectionate photos but Clayton and Julia put our nerves at ease immediately. The photos came out so natural and effortless. They captured the venue, food and everything else we would want to remember from our special day. They took pictures of all of our guests and even got my grandmother to smile, which never happens. Julia came up to my room as my bridesmaids and I got ready while Clayton went to my husbands room and captured guys being guys. They scoped out our venue and photo location before the day of the event so the group photos were very efficient and timely. Clayton and Julia blended into our party like all of our other guests which we loved because they were able to capture candid moments as well as posed. We couldn't have dreamed of a better photography team and we were so lucky to have them.

The many previous reviews written are exactly right about Maxine's photography acumen and computer…read more& technical knowledge. I have referred her to friends for photo sessions and she has photographed my family as well. This review focuses on another of Maxine's expertise. She enjoys to create and design special projects. I can only rave about the unique and magnificent wall design she put together for my hallway. I want to give Maxine a round of applause for photographing the covers of my 250 LP albums from the 60's 70's and 80's. She then designed the layout and selected material for final product. See Below. If you need someone to work with you on photos of your family (friends, animals), help with figuring out computer issues and especially have someone with a creative brain work with you on special projects, I cannot be more enthusiastic to recommend Maxine.

WOW....What and where do I begin…read more.... I recently got married and in my previous years planning I came across Maxine Arton photography through a friend. I reached out to Maxine about 7 months prior to my wedding. She was available and after a few short emails...I hired her. She directed me to her website to view her work and then we worked out a quote for my special day....it was a price that I could afford....I had asked a few of the other "Google" recommendations and they darn near made me faint:( A few months before my wedding day, Maxine and I met and she asked a bunch of questions about me and my fiance, how we met, our relationship, our family situations, and most of all....how and what I wanted to capture on my special day! She was extremely thorough and made me feel at ease about hiring her to be the photographer of my wedding! A few weeks before my wedding she asked if we wanted photos of our pre wedding events.....save the date, shower, bachelor (ette) parties etc....as we didn't do any of those things....we didn't need her. I asked her if that would cost more and she said it was all part of her " wedding package". Nearing our day, Maxine met with my fiance and I and we went over the pictures that we wanted, she made a spreadsheet of our families, the pre ceremony pics, and asked a ton of questions about what I wanted...uh duh...I dunno....just shoot what you think is pertinent to wedding photos....geez I felt like the most unorganized bride....but she assured us and made us feel so at ease. She listened to our basic desires and assured us that she would capture all of the special moments, whether we knew we needed them or not. She said, not to worry "I got it" and would produce everything. She asked if I wanted a video of the ceremony and the reception, I said sure! She provided a video camera and ensured that it would be set up for the ceremony. She worked all alone and I wasn't sure how or when she'd be able to take a video, but once again she assured me it will all be great! For the rehearsal dinner, Maxine was there, which I didn't expect! She captured all of the special moments between our parents and my siblings, I was not expecting that. She shot so many rehearsal dinner pics that I was not even thinking I would have wanted to see later, it was so special and an added touch that I hadn't even thought (once again) that I'd have wanted. Come wedding day.....Maxine was there....before I had even woken up to begin thinking about what I should be doing!! She took pics of my shoes, rings, boquet, little things.... invites, table place cards, ceremony setup, gosh....so many memories, I am SO grateful that I hired her!!! From that morning forward, Maxine was shooting, snapping, in and out of my room and my fiances room. She was like a ninja, I didn't even know she was there sometimes. She shot our WHOLE day....from me getting ready to our sparkler send off! I can't say enough great things about Maxine. A consummate pro, her photos are amazing!!!! THANK YOU Maxine for capturing our special day!! Your photos helped to fulfill our memories and we will forever be grateful for your above and beyond effort!!
