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!

She was able to accommodate us at the last minute, which we truly appreciated, and she came to our home making the session incredibly comfortable and stress-free for our daughter and us! Michelle handled our baby with extreme care and patience, and she managed to keep her calm and content throughout the entire session. The photos turned out absolutely beautiful and captured our daughter so perfectly. Michelle is truly a baby whisperer as well as an excellent photographer. We would highly recommend Michelle to anyone looking for newborn photography

Michelle is amazing! I found her on Yelp for newborn photoshoot and I'm so glad we went with her…read more Not only is she professional, kind, and responsive, she's also a baby whisperer. With her seven years of experience, I could tell my newborn was in good hands right away. Her patience and ability to work with newborn babies is truly a talent! Prior to meeting, I had communicated with Michelle on Yelp and inquired her different packages, then signed a contract and paid a $50 deposit. Everything was pretty smooth and easy. The three packages are on her website, either basic, signature, or premium, and we went with the middle package - the signature, which was perfect for us. The middle package had 4 poses, swaddled, family included, and we received 50 photos! Fast forward to photoshoot morning - we followed directions to have baby fed and changed into a diaper by the time of her arrival. My son was 13 days old when she took photos in our home. She came with her props, accessories, and baskets all prepared! Michelle also brought a sound machine that had white noise playing to soothe the baby. She swaddled my son and every photo pose/ setup increased in difficulty but she was really patient and worked with my son who almost was so fussy he'd wake! I enjoyed that she brought different colors for swaddles and blankets and various types of hats for us to choose from. Furthermore, if you're like me and your home is a mess, don't worry! Michelle will make it work and she will decide which room has the best lighting for her photos. She'll need about 5ftx5ft of space at least! Michelle delivered our gallery in a blink of an eye. Literally got an email about images being ready within 3 days of the shoot. I loved every image!! My son had baby acne and dry skin peeling at the time and she let me know that if I chose 10 photos, she would retouch them and she did! Overall my husband and I are loving our photos and highly recommend Michelle. You will NOT be disappointed. I'm so thrilled I have beautiful images of my son captured when he was only two weeks old. Memories to last a lifetime! Thanks Michelle!

I definitely recommend coming to Dani for your baby photos and family photos!…read more When it came to booking these photo shoots she was very quick to respond. Prices vary on the photo shoot that you would like and all of her prices are posted right on her website. I love the transparency! So far I have done my maternity shoot, my baby's new born, and my baby's 1 year photo shoot! Dani is patient and kind which is definitely helpful when working with little one! She has plenty of wraps and baby outfits to choose from. She has her own studio in downtown Nile's but is also willing to shoot outdoors which is nice. Her style of photography is definitely what drew me to her and I wasn't let down.

She was friendly and patient with us the whole time and her personality kept the vibe relaxing and fun. My wife and I don't take professional photos, so it was really nice to have an experienced photographer help us with poses and where to stand. We plan on asking her to take all our future family photos and we look forward to working with her again!

Sometimes getting professional photos in general can feel intimidating, but not with Herve. He made the experience feel professional, comfortable, quick, and fun.

I would recommend Herve to anyone in the South Bay seeking headshots.

Nupur is awesome! I came to know about her though a close friend who had recently done her…read morematernity shoot with Polka Dots Photography. To start with, she was very accommodating with our needs, travel time, pricing and just overall flexible around schedule and setting up the shoot. We discussed ideas before the shoot and had numerous message exchange for different poses, styling, hair and makeup. She also drove all the way to Santa Clara for shooting at the spot we picked, which was very generous of her. There are a couple things that are critical for a photoshoot especially one involving a small puppy - comfort, ideas, familiarity and patience. Nupur is exceptional in all these aspects! She also has a great personality which helped us have fun during the shoot instead of 'posing' to get the right angle and expression. My husband is bit camera shy and our small dog is difficult to manage but when we saw the final photographs they were nothing short of magic. We had our pick of 7 amongst the numerous marvelous shots she captured, but she went ahead and provided us few extras which was an awesome gesture. We can't thank her enough for capturing all these precious moments with our furry child and new guest due to arrive soon :)

BOOK HER NOW…read more Oh my god. Nupur is not only an amazing photographer behind the camera, but she is also an incredibly sweet and respectful person without the camera. Since the first moment I contacted her, she has been super tentative, responsive, and patient with all my questions and input. I wanted to try something new and different that I hadn't seen in her portfolio before and she was not only game but was extremely excited and kind about everything. Even before the shoot, we talked on the phone to discuss themes, we texted about different angles, lighting, mood, locations, and wardrobe. I have had many photo shoots (engagement, wedding, individual/family/professional portraits etc) with different photographers, and Nurpur is BY FAR the best in collaboration. We never felt like our ideas were sub par, in fact, every pose or photo that I had selected for inspiration, we actually worked to recreate each look in our own way! We basically fed off each other's creativity and ideas and turn a commercial event into stunning photographic art! She was never pushy and always listening to understand what we wanted and worked VERY hard to get us nothing short of perfection. She's so talented at capturing the types and kinds of photos we wanted that even the unedited, straight off the camera pictures with the silhouetted looks were near perfect! I am just beyond ecstatic with our experience and seriously COULD NOT HAVE ASKED FOR MORE. The final photos were just jaw dropping and they are exactly as I had imagined and hoped for them to be. We are so grateful and thankful we found Nurpur to help us document this next chapter in our lives. Helped me feel beautiful and gorgeous in this scary, new, stage of pregnancy. And most of all, helped me capture a truly personal and unique set of photos that represent the multiple aspects of my cultural identities.
