I paid $2,550 for my wedding photography and genuinely regret choosing this photographer. After…read moreposting an honest negative review, she even threatened legal action--despite having no grounds for it. It made me wonder how many couples before me have been pressured into silence. The online gallery she uses is extremely outdated and unreliable. It took me EIGHT attempts to download my own wedding photos--and I'm a software engineer on gigabit fiber. The issue was not on my end; her server repeatedly failed. Earlier in October, her gallery also included at least one photo that appeared to be warped by AI (two versions of the same image, one with my face oddly altered and facing the wrong direction). She said the final edits would be uploaded later, so I planned to re-download everything once those were ready. But by November, the gallery kept failing and I couldn't reliably access the finalized version at all. I wish I could upload the AI-warped photo here so others could see what I mean, but her contract prevents clients from sharing images in "unauthorized" ways--and based on her legal threats, I'm afraid she'd try to sue. The bigger problem: the USB drive included in my package--the backup in case the gallery failed--never arrived. She mailed it through USPS with no insurance or protection. When it went missing, USPS couldn't help, and the tracking number went nowhere. When I told her plainly that the USB never arrived and the gallery was repeatedly failing, her response was essentially: "Too bad. Pay again." She wanted $68.95 for a replacement and offered no assistance with the gallery issues. Refusing to replace a missing deliverable that represents a tiny fraction of the $2,550 I already paid felt shockingly stingy and unprofessional. She could have replaced it--she simply chose not to. And here's what should concern any bride: If the gallery had completely failed and the USB was lost, we would have had no access to our final edited wedding photos at all, despite paying thousands of dollars. No reputable photographer should ever leave clients in that position. Update: Only after I warned her that I would be leaving a negative review--and then actually posted it--did she finally offer to send a replacement USB. A few days later, USPS unexpectedly located the original package at a different facility, over a month after it had been marked "delivered." I picked it up and told her a replacement was no longer needed. Her reaction? She took that opportunity to double down and blame ME for USPS' mistakes, implying I hadn't done my "due diligence," even though we had visited the post office multiple times and called in, visited the tracking site, and in all attempts was told there was nothing they could do. A professional vendor insures important shipments, ensures deliverability, and advocates for their clients--not points fingers. To make matters worse, I later learned from my wedding venue who recommended her that -- independent of my complaint -- that they already happened to have removed her from their preferred vendor list prior to any outreach from me due to other unrelated, but repeated, issues they had with her independently which they had already given her feedback for, and which she was unable to improve on. Therefore, it appears that the concerns I experienced were not an isolated case. Apparently my wedding was the last wedding she would be photographing at my venue because she was already discontinued by the time I mentioned my problem to them. In my experience, when something goes wrong, she does not take responsibility and instead blames the client. With a once-in-a-lifetime event like a wedding, that is not a risk I would ever take again. Update #2: She later responded to my review claiming that I had already downloaded my photos in October. Sure okay -- I downloaded what was available back then after multiple attempts as well, but those files included the warped AI-looking image, which obviously meant they weren't the finalized edits. Who realistically would settle for that instead of asking that the final versions of the photos of their wedding they paid thousands for be provided? In her response she says, "This matter has been resolved and the client has received everything included in the contract." Sure, technically the gallery photos and USB eventually made it here, but during that whole process, it was pretty awful having to deal with her constant assumptions & blame, dismissiveness, repeated evasions of responsibility, and threats of legal action being taken against me for complaining.

There were so many details to manage and Autumn and Katy didn't miss a stitch! Tragically, on the morning of our wedding, a close family member passed away unexpectedly and we needed to make some big changes to our plan. Both Autumn and Katy were incredibly kind and jumped into the action to coordinate with vendors and guests to adjust the plan as needed. The wedding began with an outdoor ceremony on the Redwood Deck at the Hoyt Arboretum. Autumn and Katy were the first people on site and worked with our rentals vendor and florist to ensure everything was delivered and picked up on time. They also set up and decorated the site beautifully, provided a gorgeous charcuterie board and drinks, and ensured all of our guests found the site and were greeted upon arrival. They also worked tirelessly at the reception location coordinating with the restaurant, florist, DJ, and cake baker to ensure everything was on track. Throughout the day, they managed a myriad of details to ensure everything continued to run smoothly and at the end of the night, they packed up all of the extra food, flowers, and decor so that we could maximize the time with our guests. Afterwards, they managed all of the pesky returns so we could relax and enjoy the weekend. Honestly, when we started planning our wedding, we weren't sure we needed a wedding planner or day-of coordinator at all but looking back, there is no way we could have done it without Autumn and Katy's incredible support. They were absolutely exceptional and we can't recommend them strongly enough. Thank you so much!

He has a great eye for using space and especially lighting! I'm not a big fan of flash and he didn't use any all day--even when we weren't in well-lit areas of Fort Point under the Golden Gate Bridge. Once, he even used the light bouncing off of a window from the sun to "spotlight" us. Clever! His turnaround time for our online gallery was extremely quick. Something that I think everyone appreciates. I'm so excited to have him as our photographer for our wedding next year and I look forward to working with him again.
