    Jen is amazing! They shot our wedding at Reinhardt Redwood Regional Park in Oakland and we couldn't have been happier. They were very responsive to our ideas and captured everything we wanted about our special day. They are very talented and you would be lucky to book them for your event!

    We recently had our maternity shoot with Jen - the experience and photos came out perfect! Jen really made me feel comfortable and seen, she was super patient (as I am very pregnant and tired) - and she was totally open to shooting in a location of our choosing. Jen is a prompt professional and provided us final edits within a few days of our shoot. It's wonderful to celebrate and support the business of a woman of color and I would greatly suggest Jen for any of your photo needs. She is also an excellent director of photography and will help with poses and take photos in the best lighting. I'm so glad she was able to capture this very special time for us and our first baby!

    Jen photographed our wedding in April and went above and beyond in capturing our big day. From start to finish, they were so easy to work with, kind, responsive, and patient. As part of our wedding photography package, they included an engagement photo session in order to get to know us, find out more about what kind of photos we liked, and help us practice being photographed. Both our engagement photos and wedding photos were perfect and everything we could have hoped for. It's clear how much Jen cares about what they do and about capturing life's special moments. I can't recommend them enough for any photography needs! Thank you, Jen!

    We wanted to support the local, queer, bipoc community for our queer wedding, and after internet searching and recs from friends, we landed on Jen Rocha Photography.  Jen is a true professional and artist, highly responsive, easy to work with, and able to gauge our comfort in front of the camera, which resulted in wonderful candids and more traditional group photos. They captured the joy, love, and intimacy of our September wedding last year.  We highly recommend Jen and their services. We've recommended them to others and will be using them for future events.

    Jen is incredible. I truly cannot say enough good things about them. Jen photographed my wedding and also our engagement photos. We felt so comfortable around them, they helped us pose in ways that looked natural and emphasized our natural chemistry. Their editing is amazing and our photos are everything we wanted and more! On the day of our wedding, they frequently checked in with us to make sure we got photos with the people we wanted and took some great candids of our guests! We wanted a photographer who was LGBTQ+ and a person of color because my wife and I are lesbian and my wife is Mexican and Native American. If you are looking for similar qualities in a photographer, I highly recommend booking Jen.

    I don't enjoy having my picture taken but I needed to get a few portraits for work and family. This is the third photo shoot with Jen over the last few years. If you are looking for someone to capture your family, I highly recommend Jen Rocha. Jen has an amazing vibe, easy to work with and I love her photos!

    Our family was very overdue for family photos. Jen's website gallery showcased the style of photos we wanted so we reached out. She was very accessible and scheduling was a snap. Her rates are very reasonable. Jen suggested a location with a lot of options and even helped us pick a few outfits. She was on time and very easy to work with. Jen worked quickly, suggesting many great poses. Her style worked well for us and also kept our 10 year old son engaged. The photos are beyond our best expectations and the turn around was very, very quick. She even took a few headshots for us for work. Thank you for an amazing experience, I *highly* recommend Jen.

    Dear Jen, We want to say thank you very much for capturing so many detail loving moments on this most important day of our life. You have delivered in such beautiful art form that exceeded our expectations in many levels. We didn't have to break a bank or miss a house payment to have this wonderful gift You are more than an inspiring photographer that takes amazing photos. You run a professional photography business. Your service is over the top. My experience with you from our initial consultation, signing contracts, and to receive final photos all have been very pleasant and smooth. I appreciate you're making this process easy for me. And thank you for offered and helped me move things on the wedding day when you see me looking overwhelmed. That was very sweet of you! My family and friends gave so many compliments about you and how hard working you are. We really enjoyed having you on our wedding! We will be back asking for more photo sessions. We wish you a bright future and all the success on your career and everything that you do and inspires you. Best, Cinny and Yifeng p.s. so many good photos we love to share but only uploading few side view photos on this public form due to privacy concerns but they are still amazing

    Sensational! 10/10 would recommend Jen to anyone for quality photography service. She was accommodating, genuine, clear in communication and open to whatever inspires her clients. The session itself flew by! We had a great time talking which also helped me relax and appear natural. I loved her suggestions based on my own expectations for my professional career photos. She gives encouraging direction too! I'm new to the area and she was able to suggest a place close by that she knew well. It had lots of areas of opportunity for good backdrops. I was blown away by the quick turn around for my results and OH MY THE PHOTOS! Fantastic quality, love her aesthetic and the price is right. Thank you Jen!

    After finding Jen's Instagram page through a mutual friend, I knew I had to inquire for Jen's awesome photography ! I am an avid fan of Talented photography/ers. My husband, and now I have a special love for Fall and all things Halloween, luckily, we were able to have an awesome shoot at Vasona Lake Park in Los Gatos. Jen was always very open, quick to respond, understanding and flexible. Their professionalism was on point-always! They even had props, a noisemaker to help out when photographing our baby, and offered breaks when our baby was getting fussy. While providing us with positive photo vision energy, Jen was able to get our photographs to us in a speedy time compared to our past experiences with other photographers. No need to remind here! I've posted some photos here because As you see these images, you'll see the talent I see and believe in and will hire them for your next photo session! Jen's photo skills = amazing ! Thank you again Jen!

    Jen is amazing, this is the second mini photoshoot I've had with her. Affordable, friendly and her work is absolutely incredible. The photos come out so beautiful, will definitely book with Jen again in the near future!

    I recently had a wonderful photoshoot with Jen. Our photos included my husband and three-month-old baby. Jen was wonderful at grabbing the attention of our son and I cannot recommend them highly enough! They were professional, talented, and made us feel so comfortable throughout the shoot. Which included us bundling our son in a blanket and throwing it right before the photos were snapped. Jen is incredibly patient and experienced with babies and photo shoots of all sorts. If you're looking for an exceptional family photography experience, look no further! They did great at coaching us through every pose as well. Jen has captured the love and excitement in our family.

    She takes so much pride in her work, she even brought my son a rattle to help get some smiles out of him for our photoshoot.

    If you're looking for a wedding photographer in the Bay Area, we cannot recommend Toan Photography…read moreenough! We absolutely loved working with Toan and his team. From the very beginning, they were incredibly knowledgeable, talented, professional, and genuinely easy to work with. Planning a DIY wedding comes with plenty of stress, but Toan was hands down our easiest and favorite vendor throughout the entire process. Neither of us is naturally comfortable in front of a camera, but Toan has an incredible eye and knows exactly how to direct and pose you. He gave us simple, clear guidance that made us feel relaxed and confident, and somehow made even the least photogenic person look like a natural model. The entire experience felt fun instead of awkward. His photography speaks for itself. The photos are absolutely stunning and capture every moment so beautifully. His work is so strong that the images barely need any editing--they're timeless, natural, and simply breathtaking. Every photo feels like a work of art, and we know we'll treasure them for the rest of our lives. We also really appreciated how honest, flexible, and accommodating Toan was throughout the process. He frequently offered packages and special deals, which we were incredibly grateful for. Booking, scheduling, billing, and communication were always seamless, and we never ran into a single issue. On our wedding day, Toan and his team made us feel completely at ease during one of the biggest and most emotional days of our lives. They were calm, organized, and knew exactly how to keep everything running smoothly while capturing every special moment. His craftsmanship is worth every penny. After working with him, we completely understand why he's so highly rated throughout the Bay Area. If you're considering Toan Photography, don't hesitate--you'll be investing in an amazing experience and memories you'll cherish forever. Thank you, Toan and your team, for exceeding every expectation!

I came across Olgas instagram page and read all YElP reviews and let me tell you the reviews dont lie!

Any questions I had she was quick to respond. She handled our precious baby so well, swaddled her and put her to sleep faster than I can! The pictures were done in the comfort of our home and she brought everything! As a new time mommy having 1 less thing to prepare for is amazing!

He was responsive, easy/straightforward to work with, made us feel comfortable during the shoot and was very personable. I really appreciate his easy going personality and he made us feel comfortable during photos and gave us really good poses/pointers. I loved that he would show us little snippets during the shoot to show us how the photos were turning out as well. He was so kind, friendly, professional and all the great things you want in a photographer capturing your special moments. I believe he finalized edits and sends within 3-4 weeks and I can't wait to see. Bonus was that he sent over more than 10 sneak-peaks within 24 hours!!! This was so awesome and we were able to use right away to announce our marriage. All in all, so impressed with Justin. He's a gem and I'm looking forward to continue using him for our future shoots!!

My husband greatly appreciated Justin's recommendations for photo ideas. For our wedding, Justin and his second photographer were nothing short of amazing. Justin was able to use the venues spaces very creatively and effectively--I was very impressed with Justin's ability to stage us and our family and wedding party without having seen the venues before. The photos made me appreciate the venues in ways I had not thought of. Justin was able to turn around two photographers' and 10 hours worth of photos in 2 weeks. We were very impressed! Justin has a way of making people feel comfortable. That was true of my husband and me, as well as our wedding parties and families. The end result was amazing photos that we love, and our friends and family have told us look great. We are so happy we got to work with Justin and his team!

Vish is great with editing and they're generous enough to re-edited our photos when I requested and give a bonus image when he forgot to edit some of my newborn's pictures. The wait of getting the pictures is a bit long but worth it! Two-thumbs up for their hardwork and skills.

    Disappointing Maternity & Newborn Photoshoot Experience…read more We had a very disappointing experience across both our maternity and newborn photoshoots. For the maternity session, there was no proper pre-discussion about locations or outfits. We were simply asked to choose from previously taken images, which felt impersonal. During the shoot, the session felt rushed, and the photographer appeared disengaged, as if they wanted to finish early. From a 2-hour session, we could barely select around 10 usable images, which reflects the overall quality. We also noticed technical issues with the camera, including frequent error messages during burst shots. For the newborn session, we had informed them in advance that we would be about 30 minutes late due to our baby's doctor appointment. Despite this, one of the planned props was removed, which felt inflexible given the circumstances. There was also a significant delay of about four weeks beyond the expected timeline in delivering the edited images, without clear communication or accountability. After delivery, communication continued to be frustrating. We received emails indicating additional charges if image selections were not made within 30 days, which felt pressured--especially considering the delay in delivery was on their side. At the same time, when we requested a re-edit for one of the selected images, we had to follow up multiple times and did not receive timely responses. Additionally, some comments made during the newborn shoot were uncomfortable and inappropriate. Remarks about the baby's skin tone and comments regarding the mother's feeding choices were hurtful and unexpected, especially for a one-month-old baby. We expected a much more respectful and sensitive environment. There was also no prior discussion about props for the newborn shoot -- only a couple of setups were pre-arranged, and we felt limited to those options. Similar to the maternity shoot, the overall photography quality did not meet expectations. From a 1.5-hour session, we could barely select around 15 images, and the editing felt very basic, with some images appearing minimally edited. Given our experience, the overall service felt unprofessional, inflexible, and lacking in quality. These are once-in-a-lifetime moments, and we expected a much more thoughtful, skilled, and supportive experience. Also, please don't go based on Instagram followers alone -- our experience did not reflect the expectations set by their online presence. If you are looking for a photographer who communicates well, provides guidance, and creates a comfortable and enjoyable session -- especially with a newborn -- this may not be the right fit.
