We had the pleasure of working with Eric for our wedding photos at SF City Hall, and we couldn't be…read morehappier with the entire experience. From the very beginning, Eric was incredibly responsive and helpful. Even before our shoot, he shared great tips and answered all our questions, which made us feel confident and excited going into the day. On the day of our wedding, Eric showed up early and was extremely professional. His talent and vision were clear right away. My husband and I aren't the most experienced when it comes to posing, but Eric guided us through everything so naturally. One of the best parts? The turnaround time. He sent us a sneak peek of the photos just a few hours after the shoot -- and they already looked amazing! By the next day, he sent over all the unedited photos so we could choose our favorites. The final edits came back in just a week, and you could tell he put a lot of time and effort into each image. If you're looking for a talented, professional, and genuinely kind photographer, I highly recommend Eric. He captured our special day beautifully and made the whole process easy and enjoyable!

100% would not recommend…read more My fiancé and I booked him for our wedding. He made it seem like it was a duo deal the entire time. Then my fiancé went to one of his workshops and was excited to meet him - it was terrrible. So unorganized and unprofessional. He had nothing planned out, models didn't even have rings, he had another photographer pick up the dress for him and it took multiple emails for him to pay her. AND instead of Cienna, he brought one of his buddies who was unprofessional throughout the entire experience (this apparently happens on all of his retreats according to other photographers who have attended). I complained and said I didn't think he was the right photographer for us and that I did not feel comfortable with a solo male photographer, especially with him bringing one of his buddies along. He was very persistent on being my photographer still. I even explained that my son would not feel comfortable with him as on the retreat he was escorted off of lands by park rangers and police. My son, who has multiple disabilities, would be mortified if this occurred on our wedding day - as I also would. He finally responded and said that he technically could refund me (but would not do the retainer which I was upset with because it was technically false advertising - I paid full price for 2 photographers). BUT he told me he did not have the funds to refund me right now and then asked me to be patient with him. I have sent multiple emails and letters without a response since. THEN he posted to his Instagram about "rebranding" and stating it would just be him from now on and even change his name and BLOCKED my fiancé and I from seeing the post.... How professional. Thankfully we have numerous photographer friends who shared all of the stories and posts with us. After reading these other reviews, he is definitely a scam artist and I would not recommend using him unless you want a bad experience and to lose money/not get your money's worth. I assume these other "great" reviews are from models rather than actual photographers or couples who have booked him. What a terrible way to start a day that is suppose to be the best day. Thankfully, I have all of the messages and emails between us as we try to argue for our money back.

She came in with all the materials and turned the house into a mini studio in matters of minutes. We then took some family portraits, i didn't know our home was photogenic as well( we didn't have any decent looking family pic since then, lack of sleep and all). She made the whole process super easy and the photos turned out amazing! My only complaint was that there were too many good pictures to choose from which made it hard for us to decide :) Would definitely recommend her and schedule another shoot when our son is older. Ps, she's amazing with babies and got our son to stop fussing.

As a wedding planner (Parker & Paloma Events), I have the opportunity to work with many…read morephotographers, but working with Stephanie Klotz is a truly elevated experience. We recently collaborated on a small, intimate wedding hosted in a private family home--a setting that requires a high level of respect, spatial awareness, and adaptability. Stephanie navigated the day with such grace. What stands out most about Stephanie is her attention to detail. She doesn't just capture the big moments; she notices the small, quiet ones that make a home wedding so special. Her adaptability was on full display as she utilized the unique architecture of the home--specifically the piano room--to find stunning, creative light that most would overlook. Most importantly, Stephanie has a gift for making her clients feel completely seen and comfortable. In an intimate setting, a photographer's energy can change the room, and Stephanie's presence is calm, encouraging, and warm. She made the couple feel like themselves, which resulted in photos that felt authentic rather than staged. I cannot recommend Stephanie enough for couples looking for a photographer who is both a technical pro and a genuine joy to have by your side!

Ian Chin was undeniably the right choice for our wedding photographer. From the exchange of an…read moreengagement ring to wedding bands, Ian was present and professional. He was communicative, helped plan out what to expect, and incorporated shots of us returning to the SF Symphony, where our first date took place. Ian had us laughing the entire time and it made for some great candids. His patience and guidance provided the opportunities to capture memorable moments that were small and yet some of the most significant, like a mother's embrace and the bride's nieces' twinkling eyes. We couldn't have imagined a more beautiful, elegant, and timeless photo album. Highly recommend Ian Chin Photography for your special days that you want to cherish forever.

He also graciously was flexible with moving to a couple locations nearby (because of weather). Our engagement photos were beautiful - he helped direct us when we needed and we also love how he captured us in lots of candid, spontaneous moments too.

Would highly recommend Ian to any couple. He knows what he's doing! :)

Highlights: - Before the session, Vivian was so helpful on text and getting to know us and our story! - Day of, Vivian guided us with expression/pose ideas that felt natural to us, noticed minor details & always remembered my "good" side :) - We picked a large venue (Filoli Gardens) on a chilly weekend, and Vivian was a pro and patient with finding a variety of photo ops (indoor and outdoor) - Quick turnaround with our edited photos (lots of options in colored and B&W) & loved how Vivian created a story with the overall session with capturing a range of candid/poses. It's hard to find a photo we both like us both in, but honestly it was hard to choose our top faves! Highly recommend Vivian to capture special moments!
