She is great at getting the right expression out of me, is very professional, and is also very funny. I recommend Luminous Space Photography for any headshots or professional shots!

Jessie has a rare gift: she makes you feel seen before she ever picks up the camera…read more I came to Luminous Space for personal branding photography, not entirely sure how to show up or what I wanted the images to say about me. Jessie held the whole thing with such steady presence that the uncertainty dissolved quickly. She asked the right questions, created real ease in the space, and then got out of the way and let the session breathe. The editing is exceptional. The final images are honest and alive, not overproduced. They look like me on my best day, which is exactly what this kind of work requires. If you are a founder, practitioner, or creative who needs photographs that actually carry your essence, Jessie is the real thing.

Jaimie was also kind enough to recommend a hair & make up place near their studio. That way my wife was able to just relax and enjoy her day.

We'll definitely be booking more sessions with Sugarbaby in the future. Thanks again!

She captures great pictures and they all look natural, raw and sincere! We are always surprised how much great photos she was able to capture with just a mini session and everything looks so beautiful! She has been the person who has captured precious moments and memories in in our family since my maternity shoot to our annual family photoshoots! We have worked with Heph for almost 5 years now and every single time, she nails it! No photos wasted! Highly recommend to everyone who needs an amazing photographer!

On top of that, she was so quick to send our engagement photos. We had a short engagement and she gave us plenty of time for us to use it on our wedding day.

Eric and Gladys are amazing!!! I first came across Candid Gem through one of their engagement…read moreraffles and wasn't sure what I was really getting into at first...but ended up finding the wedding photographers on our dreams! After our first photoshoot, we knew we wanted to hire candid gem for our wedding. Not only are they kind but they helped guide us through the wedding process, gave suggestions and were flexible when needed. They taught us how to take photos, they made us laugh and overall they made us just feel comfortable and like ourselves throughout the whole process. On the actual wedding day, Eric and Gladys were superstars! I had an extensive photo list and they worked hard to get all of the photos that were important to us. We are so happy we found them and can't wait to work with them again!

The communication leading up to the event was handled with such professionalism and grace. I appreciated the fact that Eric in particular took my outline of what needed to be done, but added his spin on how to make things better. Unbelievable and better than what I came up with! I would certainly advocate, promote, and recommend Eric and Gladys' business because of the quality of work they performed, the patience and grace they exhibited, and how well organized they were in getting things under control. My family and I are eternally grateful for what you have done. Thank you again Eric and Gladys! You'll always have a spot at our table if / when we need your services again for another major family event!

Working with David and Annie for our proposal photos was a breeze. Even though I initially didn't…read morehave a super solid idea of where and when I wanted to do the proposal, David was very helpful in suggesting different locations for different times of the day while providing examples. His communication was clear and responsive, and he was very patient with me no matter how many emails it took! Staging the surprise was actually a lot simpler than I expected--they ask you for some basic information as to how you're planning to do it. On the day of, I was nervous if things were going to fall into place, but Annie, our photographer, shared her location with me and arrived early in just the spot I wanted. She was also wonderful to work with--her photography and editing skills are great and even though we never really posed for photos before, she made it easy for us. She even had the presence of mind to turn us away from family members who were coming from behind to surprise us. We received a few photos the night of the proposal to share with friends and then the rest of the photos after a quick turnaround. We were very happy with how they turned out and appreciative of Annie's great work!

My husband and I were so fortunate to work with Annie & David for our engagement photoshoot and…read morewedding. They were the first vendor we booked after securing our venue, so we got to know them over the course of the year leading up to our wedding in August 2025. After coming across their photos when researching different potential photographers that had experience at our venue, we were very interested in meeting them. We had an initial video call with them and knew immediately that we wanted to book them for such a critical part of our wedding journey. There aren't enough words to describe how skilled and professional they are--they are amazing photographers (individually and as a duo) and clearly love what they do. Our proposal photoshoot was the only prior experience we had in terms of taking professional photos as a couple. We met them in person for the first time at our engagement photoshoot--they immediately made us feel comfortable and were seriously thoughtful about the entire process, whether it was the location choices, minute-by-minute weather changes/forecast, outfit changes, etc. It really feels like they plan for everything and care about the little details. When we asked them about another vendor they would potentially work with on the day of our wedding, they even referenced notes they made when they had worked with them for a prior wedding. Throughout the whole process, they were prompt communicators (frequently responding to an email within minutes!) and guided us with experience and patience that we really appreciated. Whenever we had something to discuss with them (including choices we needed to make as a couple), they never hesitated to give us suggestions and feedback. Even if they offered an alternative suggestion to an idea of ours, it always felt like they genuinely cared and they wanted what we wanted, and it never felt like criticism. We received our wedding photos just about 2 months after our wedding, and we love every single one of them (all 667)! They are truly the best photographers to work with and just lovely people to be around. We definitely plan to keep in touch with them for future photoshoots! :) TL;DR: You should have booked A Tale Ahead Photography yesterday!!

Angus was our wedding photographer for a simple ceremony at Lover's Lane last year, followed by a…read morephoto session at the Legion of Honor. Angus was very responsive and communicative since we first contacted him. He told us what to prepare, and even reminded us things to do the day before. Angus took great care of us on the wedding day. Not only did he take beautiful photos, but he also guided us on how to pose, what to do at different spots, and even helped calm us down when we were nervous. The whole experience was so enjoyable with him around, and we truly appreciate him being our photographer. The photos turned out amazing. We still go through them from time to time. We're so happy that we chose Angus, and we couldn't recommend him enough!

We chose Angus as our city hall wedding photographer and he was incredible! We exchanged texts and…read morephoto references before the big day, sharing what kind of shots we were hoping for, how many people were in our group, and the general timing. We wanted a bunch of group shots with our group, and prepped a set list of shots which was very helpful to have on hand. Even though we were unsure of what to expect at a granular level going into it, we really didn't need that type of detail because of how patient and careful Angus is. There's only so much you can plan for while operating within city hall since it's a public building and you can't account for delays that might occur within. We certainly ran into our fair share of bumps in the schedule, but Angus was really patient and he waved off any concern about us using up his time (after he asked if we were pressed for time ourselves - so thoughtful!). As we walked through city hall, it became apparent how well Angus knew the space, how to operate within it, and syncing our desired photos with our route through city hall (which was really efficient in hindsight).

Everything about the shoot was a breeze: he was personable, funny, relaxed, and creative while directing. Afterwards, he walked me through the criteria he uses for narrowing down the best films and involved me in the selection. Ashton is a consummate professional and his studio gets a big recommendation from me. He helped me get great photos that I will be using for many years.

After having responded quickly and kindly to my quote request, I went to Ashton's studio to take my…read morefirst ever business portraits. His space is very clean, professional and easy to get to. I had a vague idea of what kind of shots I wanted, but I was clueless for the most part. Ashton, on the other hand, was expert in posing me and setting up the lighting for the shots. He was great at inspiring certain feelings and expressions in the shots. I have to say, I wasn't expecting to have so much fun taking portraits. Ashton got the proofs to me within a couple of days. And the shots came out great! I look forward to working with Ashton for my future photography needs.
