From…read morethe very beginning, he was warm, friendly, and made us feel completely at ease in front of the camera. Neither of us is used to being professionally photographed, but Ben gave such clear and helpful direction throughout the shoot--it made everything feel natural and fun. The photos turned out amazing. Seriously, we were blown away by how beautifully he captured the moments. The lighting, the angles, the emotions--everything felt so genuine and us. On top of that, he got the final edited photos back to us incredibly quickly, which we really appreciated. We're so happy we chose Ben for this special milestone, we'll definitely be contacting him in the future for more lifestyle photoshoots. If you're looking for someone talented, kind, and professional, we highly recommend him! Thank you, Ben!

Mike is fantastic! He photographed our wedding in San Francisco (yes, he drove up from Santa Cruz!)…read moreand we just received the pictures and we are extremely happy with them. Neither of us are photogenic and yet we look extremely happy, relaxed and natural. I provided a list of must have pictures & Mike made sure they were all taken as well as taking pictures of places that we had not even thought of, the building (even capturing a cable car in front), the foyer, hearts in Union Square, etc... Mike was like the invisible man during the reception and captured so many candids that really tell the story of how intimate & enjoyable our celebration was. Thank you so much Mike, can't wait to collaborate with you on putting together a wedding album.

Thomas went out of his way to get a second photobooth set up for me so that I could be accommodated the day of party. Talk about 5 star service!!! He worked with me to choose the backdrop and everything came together perfectly. He had every prop imaginable, and made the party so much more fun. Thank you to the team for making my event extra memorable!

It was over all a great experience, very professional and worked with our timing with the little ones. The interaction with each member was outstanding he insured to keep the children involved at all times so they wouldn't get distracted or fuzzy. The captured photographs looked amazing better than ones you get from a magazine. On top of providing us with a great experience he went above and beyond to insure to have some ready for a surprise baby shower that evening to be able to showcase a photograph at the event. Highly highly recommend for any photo shoot event you have planned.

(Formerly known as Michelle Zuniga Photography)…read more My wife and I used Michelle as our wedding photographer in late December of 2007. She was great to work with, had competitive rates, and showed genuine interest and care for saving the events memories digitally. She even included 3 wallet sized photo albums free; one for each of our mothers and one for us.

Can I tell you I love Michelle? Well I do. I love her. I…read morestarted planning our wedding in 2008, and had gone through every photographer I could find on The Knot and Brides. I did google searches. Everything. I hate standard wedding photography. Crap that looks overly posed and nasty. And then I cam across Michelle on the last day I could look for a photographer - my husband, then fiance, said I had until the end of February or we were going with his first choice. I looked through her website, and oh bolly bolly oh my golly! SHE is what I had been searching for. Gorgeous shots of people, nothing overly posed, every shot looking like a dear friend took the picture. They captured the essence of each individual and I felt like I was there, like I understood how the people in the pictures felt. That was all I needed, I sent out an email. Two seconds later, Michelle had responded. Here was a vendor who was used to using technology, she told me I could contact her on gchat and since our schedules were packed we could conference call our first meeting. I nearly cried. The day of the teleconference came. The only question I really had was, do you make any provisions for military, what if my husband got deployed unexpectedly. She reassured me, we would not lose our money, she would hold onto it and reschedule. She also reassured me that she would shoot until every last major event in the wedding was captured. She wouldn't just take off. That was it, we hired her on the spot. We also hired her (for an insanely reasonsable fee - think Crazy Eddy sells electronics) for our engagement shoot. We wanted her to get to know us and vice versa. She was amazing and incredibly fun to work with. We were all geared up for our wedding in 2008 when the worst news came through, my husband was being called up for service early. We had to postpone everything. I was running around contacting vendors, family, bridal party. Trying not to melt down, and when I called Michelle she was so sweet and understanding. When we rescheduled our wedding for late in 2009, I called Michelle. She was so excited to work with us again. And so was I. She is so incredibly professional - Annie and Bill were out of town on the day of my wedding so she asked her friend David Esquire to fill in. I never even knew that there was a problem. She just handled it, like a dream vendor. Again, on the day of the wedding, Michelle was professional as can be. She was there on time, and even tolerated the fact that I didn't get her her shots list until that morning. She was funny and energetic (a difficult feat when it is raining and so cold you can see your breath and it is an outdoor wedding). She was like a ninja, I don't ever remember seeing her, but when she gave me the pictage link to our wedding photos, there were all these amazing shots she had taken. She took these amazing shots of us too, posed me perfectly, hid flaws played up assets. Honestly, I don't think of Michelle as my vendor. I think of her as a friend. Every major photo op I have in life will be shot by her or her studio. Heck I even added her on facebook. If you pass her by for another studio (maybe with the exception of Esquire Photography because David was pretty cool himself) you are a total fool. Studio Z will capture your wedding day exactly as you saw it, exactly as you experienced. And really, isn't that what a photographer is supposed to do?

Renee is unreliable and unprofessional. My family booked a holiday photo shoot package with her…read moremonths in advance, made a deposit, and she COMPLETELY FLAKED on us. She didn't email, call, or text to let me know she wasn't coming. It was a weekday, we took the time off work, got our toddlers dressed and ready to go, arrived at the location Renee selected, and she was a total NO SHOW. We've had success with her in the past. But still, head's up: She'll tell you to expect your images in "about 2 weeks," but its always over six weeks, and even then you'll likely have to email her to remind her. Don't count on her if you want to get holiday cards out in a timely manner. In fact, I wouldn't count on her at all. Save yourself a lot of stress and find a different photographer.

One of the reasons I initially said "no photographer" to my boyfriend when he asked my preference…read morefor our proposal was that I didn't want a stranger to interrupt a magical moment... But Naveed's seeing Naveed's bright smile after my new fiancé popped the question didn't feel like a weird intrusion -- if anything he felt like an old friend cheering us on. An expert of reading the room... or... hilltop he guided us with a couple casual pose prompts that felt natural and asked us questions for the video he was shooting that we giggled our way through answering. Having him there enhance the entire experience which I previously thought was an impossible contribution And that was before I saw the photos!!! When I look at Naveed's shots I feel the epicness of the experience itself. I understand why he coached us through the "drunk walk" or adjusted my hair -- he was able to translate our feelings into photo form. I'll treasure what he delivered for me and my new fiancé always. This is a rare instance when I regret not using social media because if I did I would use it to gas this man up unendingly. Thank you thank you NVD

Nicholas is an incredible videographer who we are forever thankful for having on our wedding day…read more We interviewed a few different videographers, but after chatting with Nicholas we knew he was the perfect person to film our day. His dedication to his clients and passion for beautiful work is something you don't find in every vendor Not only did he capture every precious moment, but he also stepped in as our second shooter when our photographer came down with a migraine and needed a few minutes to recover. Nicholas was easy to work with, listened to our must-haves, took in all the little details, and nailed putting together a video that truly captured our day. They say the day flies by, and it does, but with our wedding video we will forever be able to reminisce and remember the day.

They are professional and super easy-going people. Our wedding started very early, and far from where they were located, they arrived on time and worked well with my photographers. After our wedding ended, we went offsite for some extra photo shooting and they offered to go with us, they are kind of people who would try their best to produce the best work even it requires extra effort! Nic also has a superb video editing skills, he gave the videos back to me even before my tight schedule and was very responsive in making some small changes. My husband was very hesitant of hiring videographers at first, we had a small wedding, he didn't want to have 2 photographers and 2 videographers running around the event which might interrupt our guests. But during the wedding, we didn't feel any interruption and now he is so glad we had them recording the whole event, because that's something we would remember for life. We have been watching the videos again and again and shared with friends and family. Thanks Nic and Jared for the amazing job you did!
