Keith was easy to coordinate with ahead of time and always extremely responsive, which made the planning process smooth. Our photographer Robin was excellent. He helped us schedule the day to make the most of our time while still being mindful of the flow. We had a few special requests, like a photoshoot with our dog Bowie on the Embarcadero, and he made it all happen seamlessly. He also planned ahead to capture us at sunset overlooking the Bay Bridge, which turned into one of our favorite shots. We originally chose Robin for his incredible candid photography (since we're not naturals at posing), and we are so glad we did! Even our guests commented on how many wonderful candids he captured. At the same time, he guided us through posed photos when needed and brought a creative vision that went far beyond the basics we had in mind. It's also clear that Robin truly loves what he does - his enthusiasm made the experience even more enjoyable. On top of everything, he delivered our photos back to us in just one week, which is unheard of and so greatly appreciated. It was a lot of fun working with Robin - he was easygoing, professional, and stuck with us through a long day with such positive energy. We would absolutely recommend him and Lynds Photo & Video to anyone looking for wedding photography.

Looking for a photographer to catch the best moments in your life? Karen is it!…read more From emails, texts and our entire session you will feel great with the decision in having Karen be your photographer. I wish I found her sooner. But happy she was able to capture our last miracle baby. The photos are just so amazing and I can't stop looking at them. We drove from Oakley to have her do our photos, her studio is perfect and she has everything. Which is worth it because I for one am forgetful which I forgot to bring our diaper bag! Thankfully Karen came to the rescue with diapers. She has all the cute and fun things to make your photos meet your vision and then some. All my kids are rainbow babies and the rainbow photo has 7 hearts which is how many angels we have and Karen came up with the idea of adding an extra heart to make it mean more. Which made me start to tear up, our last miracle rainbow baby showed the love to not only his big sisters but to his siblings in heaven. Karen is also super sweet and we had so much to talk about during our session. My eldest daughter who is on the spectrum. I ended up learning a few things from her to help our journey in her school. You feel like she is a friend the whole time, which is something I love in a photographer is a friendly connection. She loves what she does and she's really good with kids of all ages. You won't regret choosing Karen to take photos of your family. It will be the best decision in preserving memories for generations to see.

Carrie's photography aesthetic is clean, modern, and natural. She is a total professional in her communications. Fair rates, and just an overall lovely person. Highly recommend booking a session with her!

The images turned out absolutely beautiful--natural, warm, and so thoughtfully captured. Carrie went above and beyond with retouching (removing little distractions like electrical towers and stray hairs) and even created classic black-and-white versions that we love. The attention to detail and the extra care they put in made such a difference. We're so grateful to have these special moments preserved so beautifully and will treasure them for years to come.

Masha was adaptable, friendly, and sweet, and we enjoyed chatting with her through the process as well.

Alicia is a magician, she made an open field with crazy wind and direct sun look like the most epic background! She has such a great eye for photos, is incredibly flexible when nature or newborns don't cooperate (as ours didn't), and honestly made both shoots really fun. Alicia posed us, made us laugh, and gave us a chance to be ourselves, but best of all she captured photos that I will treasure for a lifetime. Couldn't recommend Alicia more, and will be calling her again and again for family photos

I highly recommend Alicia, as I have been for many years.

They will be cherished forever. I contacted Shelly Mother's Day weekend last year. Grandpa got a shocking bone marrow cancer diagnosis a couple days before and was going in the hospital that Monday for treatment. Life and looks were about to change dramatically. Things were moving fast, and we wanted to get family pictures. I reached out to Shelly and explained the situation. With no time to go shopping and plan. Shelly was very helpful offering advice on what to look for in our closet. On a rainy, drizzling, holiday Shelly took fabulous pictures. She was quick, which was great because Grandpa didn't have a lot of energy. She captured my parents, my kids with Grandpa, myself with Grandpa, and the whole family. All the pictures captured character and happiness! It was great that we got to see the pictures right away online and print them. It was the best thing for our situation. Shelly is reasonably priced. If you go with her you will be happy with your decision. I can't tell you how much happiness and support those pictures have given my family. These pictures would not have been possible without Shelly. She is not only talented but her willingness to help accommodate strangers in need on a holiday was beyond kind. Thank you Shelly! What a gift you are!

We were looking for a local photographer for our newborn son, and found Christina on Yelp. From…read moreour first conversation over the phone, Christina's friendly demeanor put me at ease and comfortable in scheduling an appointment. She was very accommodating and booked our photo session ASAP, so that we could come in within the week while our baby was still only 3 weeks old to capture his newborn essence in the photos. We really appreciated her working around my husband's work schedule. Her studio is located in a beautiful and woodsy Orinda neighborhood, and we immediately loved her enthusiasm and wonderful way with the baby. She is extremely professional and thorough in her craft, but also very efficient. I dread photo shoots, and especially ones that take forever. We were in and out of her studio in about an hour, and the time went by quickly as she made it fun and painless. From this short photo session (which is the maximum time a newborn could handle anyway), she was able to capture plenty of wonderful shots of our baby, and of us as a family. I highly recommend Christina to anyone looking for a talented and gifted photographer, who is also professional and personable.

Christina's photography captured our wedding perfectly. I was very skeptical of "wedding…read morephotography" in general. Can't our friends just take the pictures, I thought? But after seeing Christina's pictures, I realized how important the photography is. Don't skip it. She took every type of shot imaginable: portraits, close-ups, candids, documentary-style, stylized (soft light, filters, etc.). She shot not only us, our family, and our guests but also the details that we even forgot to tell her to shoot: my purse, the table centerpieces, etc. She even shot my Dad smiling, which is hard. (Sorry, Dad, but it's true.) And due to some last-minute venue changes, we had to all-of-a-sudden abandon our original plans for portrait shots. She handled that surprise beautifully. Our portrait shots came out great. Plus, she's very reliable and easy to work with. VERY important when you're juggling 10,000 things with the wedding. If I could give Christina more stars, i would. She's great.
