If you're even slightly considering hiring Danielle for any type of photography...DO IT. Hiring Danielle to take my engagement and wedding photos was the single best decision I made throughout the entire wedding planning process. From our introductory phone call to our last set of emails about fixing a (beautiful absolutely perfectly shot) wedding photo (that was ruined by a wedding crasher), Danielle was nothing but friendly, warm, professional, knowledgeable, and all-around delight. A huge amount of our guests commented how kind and unobtrusive Danielle was and how they wished their wedding photographer had been more like her. And I haven't even gotten to her talent yet. Danielle is just a really damn good photographer. My husband and I both don't particularly love having our photo taken and, if I'm being honest, we haven't worn more than sweats in the last 2+ years since we both work from home. Every photo Danielle has taken of us is absolutely stunning and we both felt so comfortable with her during the process. I seriously cannot recommend her enough.

Danielle was such an amazing photographer to work with before, during, and after our engagement…read morephotoshoot! As soon as we met her, we knew instantly that we would like her. A couple of minutes into our session and she was basically our BFF for the entire duration of our shoot. She made us feel so comfortable that we almost forgot we were surrounded by so many people at the UC Davis Arboretum, which was during November when nearly everyone in the surrounding area goes to take their family photos. We giggled and laughed and giggled some more, but all of that made for some genuine and beautiful photos. When we received our previews, we were amazed by how great they all turned out. It made it really difficult for us to select a finite amount of photos, but we persevered! In the end, the final photos came out amazing, and we couldn't be happier with the quality and how quickly we received them. I'm pretty sure once we have a family, we'll definitely be calling Danielle again for those pictures. ;)

I found Valerie by just searching Google to do my fiancé and I's engagement shoot. My fiancé and I…read morewere incredibly nervous about the photo shoot as neither of us really likes taking photos and feel incredibly awkward in front of the camera. I also had no idea what vibe I wanted for the shoot. From the very first phone call Valerie made us feel incredible comfortable and she came up with the idea of having activities that represented our relationship to help us relax in front of the camera. My fiancé and I loved the idea and had so much fun during the shoot! Valerie kept us laughing and gave direction which made the whole process so much less stressful! She was also incredibly helpful with coordinating outfits and all the little details needed to make the photos look perfect! We have only seen our sneak peek photos and are already incredibly obsessed with them and cannot wait to see the final product! We could not recommend Valerie enough and will most definitely be coming back to her for future photo sessions!

Teresa is a rockstar! We hired her to photograph our forested wedding in Nevada City. She was our…read morefavorite from the start when we interviewed her. She had an enthusiastic personality, a zest for life. She worked with our budget and was communicative during our covid wedding postponement process. Due to a family emergency, her second photographer couldn't be there on our big day. She had arranged for another photographer to be there before I knew anything was wrong. Throughout the day Teresa gave wonderful queues and prompts and managed our rowdy bridal party and families. On several occasions she was literally laying in the dirt to get amazing shots for us. We got our pictures back after 6 weeks and they were beyond amazing. She captured our big day and more importantly our love perfectly. I cannot recommend her enough

From our first interview over Skype to the delivery of our final photos, Teresa was the perfect combination of professional and personable, and she did far more to help than just take photos. During planning, she offered timeline advice to ensure we had considered potential complications, and she was always transparent with her pricing. During the wedding itself, Teresa and her second photographer, John, were awesome. We had three events across a full 13 hour day, and Teresa's team took photos almost the entire time. More importantly, Teresa kept us motivated so we could look our best in the photos. The final photos were wonderfully composed, well-exposed, and vibrant. I would highly recommend Teresa for anyone who needs an event photographer.

I'm genuinely disappointed to have a $500 gift certificate go unused.

I was hoping for a more personal and straightforward experience, and unfortunately, this wasn't a good fit for me.

I wish we could get married every week just to be able to work with Nate & Jessi! From start to…read morefinish, we have been truly grateful to have found them! We met Nate and Jessi at a Wedding Expo (that we weren't even going to attend, might I add) and from the moment we saw their work we knew they would be one of our top choices. They did a giveaway at the event that we won and we just knew it was meant to be. Immediately, we scheduled a coffee meeting, and as soon as we walked out of the coffee shop, we knew that Nate & Jessi just HAD to be there to capture our wedding. Planning a wedding can be stressful - trying to coordinate vendors, create timelines and be communicative with all who are involved just to name a few. Nate and Jessi truly set themselves apart from other photographers by being involved and willing to share their knowledge with us. From offering sample timelines based on the information I was giving them, reaching out to schedule phone calls/when to check in with them, and even just offering tips & tricks to make planning a little smoother, they made it so easy to work with them. That's when we decided to throw a curve ball at them, we had to cancel the big wedding and decided to elope! A year early, complete change of course and about a month to plan and they made it happen. They went the extra mile for us, they showed up early and scouted out a beach spot and some picture locations. We didn't get the chance to do an engagement shoot and they still made us feel so comfortable taking our pre-ceremony photos. They shot our small ceremony, with about 20 friends and family in attendance and even made it to dinner with us for some more casual shots afterwards. We got married on 8/24/18, a Friday evening, and by Monday morning I had an email with what to look forward to. We were guaranteed a certain timeline and amount of pictures to expect, and I think from that point forward, I checked my email about once an hour every day waiting for a sneak peak of pictures to come. We only had to wait a couple weeks(WOW!!) and for ALL of our photos to arrive. Seriously, we knew they were amazing but they truly blew us away. Our photos were more than we ever could have expected. Our sunset, Lake Tahoe elopement was captured so beautifully behind their lenses. Now, our only problem is that there are TOO MANY good photos to choose from. Nate and Jessi truly met and exceeded all of our expectations, they weren't just our photographers but new friends.

My wife & I met Nate & Jess at a wedding expo last January (2016). After walking the entire expo,…read morethe quality of Nate & Jess' wedding albums stood out over everyone else. After chatting with them for a few minutes we scheduled a meeting for the following day. Nate & Jess had a package that fit both our budget and needs and we hired them on the spot. What a decision! We couldn't have asked for better photographers or people to capture all of the special moments during our journey. They are professional, dependable, and personable. Nate & Jess were extremely easy to work with and made us feel comfortable during the photo shoots, especially on our wedding day. They focus on all the little details, which really make ordinary things extra special. For example they were kind enough to send us a very thoughtful wedding present, which from our perspective they didn't have to do. They were extremely punctual, always responding to emails, phone calls or texts in a timely manner. One of the things we appreciate the most is their willingness to go the extra mile. Whether it was meeting us in person to give us our album and portrait or attending the church rehearsal on a Friday night, they took time out of their busy schedules to accommodate us. What truly amazes us is that they do all of this for their clients, while juggling work and their personal lives. We recently received our wedding album and portrait and they look great. We have already received many compliments from visiting family and friends. After seeing the final product we really appreciate all the time it took to go through and edit the thousands of pictures taken to perfection. We would definitely use Nate & Jess again in the future and would recommend them to anyone looking for excellent photographers.

In each case Phillipe showcased his breadth and depth of expertise across very different photo types.

And of course all of the photos that came out of each endeavor were incredible! Can't recommend him enough.

When we had an online meeting, confirmed the dates and even corrected the owner on the CORRECT DATE being March 11th NOT MAY, to which he told us he would fix but now we know he didn't. And we did sign a contract and even paid for the services early. How would we pay for our services and have date saved if we didn't have contract or confirmed booking? Make it make sense. Mind you, we booked/had a meeting in AUGUST of 2023. And yes, a replacement photographer was offered AFTER the wedding had started and our venue was in Benicia. It would've taken them some time to get to our venue with their business being in SACRAMENTO and even IF they would have been able to arrive within 15-30 minutes, they would've missed the getting ready pictures for our bridal party and ceremony. I can't believe this business is trying to pull this stunt about 2 years after the fact to try and save face? This is absolutely disgusting behavior. Again, I would not recommend this business. I'm updating this review since they have changed their response on Google Reviews and I'm setting the record straight.

She is seriously the sweetest person and was so enjoyable to work with. Her communication was very timely and she was so kind regarding any questions I had. My husband and I aren't big "picture people," so in hopes that we felt even more comfortable in front of the camera and with Samantha, we also booked our engagement shoot with her. If there is one thing I can HIGHLY recommend doing, it's that. Have your engagement photos done with your wedding photographer!! She got to our original location early to check out some good photo op spots and decided against it due to weather from a previous day. I'm so thankful she took the time and cared enough to do that because the second location we ended up at was absolutely stunning and served as the most beautiful backdrop for our photos! I ended up loving ALL of them!! She made us feel so comfortable, talked us through different poses, and was so complimentary of us. For our wedding day, Samantha's main concerns were that I got all of the pictures I wanted and that I didn't feel rushed to get them. Luckily, we were able to get in early to our venue and Samantha was already on site before we arrived! She was so sweet and helpful the whole day, easy to work with, and has such an eye for photos, lighting, etc. All day long, her and her second photographer were pushing to get all of the photos for us (posed and candid)! You can tell Samantha loves what she does. She is so passionate about photography, and it shows! She's dang good at it! I am so appreciative of her and truly enjoyed working with her. Photos last forever and I know we're going to have incredible, beautiful memories to look back on because of her. I would highly recommend Samantha May Photography to anyone looking for a trustworthy, kind, and talented photographer!

While her prices are on the higher end of the quotes that we received, she also had (in our opinion) the best portfolio of shots. She & her assistant came prepared to work and they braved the hot summer heat to get the best shots. She's funny, nice, we loved her energy she just made us feel very comfortable. I really appreciated the form she had filled out before hand on the timeline and what type of shots we were looking for. She said in general it takes about 3 months for her to process all the photos and she shared ours in about 2.5 months. I did ask for a 'preview' so that we can share with our immediate family. I'm not sure how to describe the "Samantha May touch" other than it's just very beautiful lighting. We were very pleased with our wedding photos!
