I absolutely LOVED working with Hannah! We worked together on some lifestyle headshots for my…read morecompany. I've always considered myself to be more of a "behind the scenes" person, so I'm typically really shy about and feel uncomfortable being photographed. Hannah was so supportive and knew just the right things to say to help me loosen up and feel more confident in front of the camera. Unlike other photographers I've worked with, she took the time to show me photos along the way to make sure I loved the photos, too. The whole experience was really healing for me, and gave me a new sense of confidence in front of the camera. In addition to being great on-site, Hannah delivered the photos to me in a timely manner and with as much enthusiasm as she had the day of the shoot. I went into this shoot hoping to have a few lifestyle photos for my company's web site and social media. What I ended up with were photos that document my legacy. She's THAT good!

My son, husband, dog, and I recently had our family portrait done by Jamey Thomas. It was a fun and…read morepositive experience for the four of us. We made sure to remember dog treats, which kept our dog focused and on task. We met at Crissy Field so we could have the Golden Gate Bridge in the background of some of our pictures. Jamey has a great personality for getting everyone comfortable and keeping things light. He took lots of pictures as we walked around. I felt like we were famous as we strolled around and had our picture taken almost every step of the way. My son moves fast and isn't the most cooperative subject, so Jamey had his work cut out for him. After about an hour of playing around and getting several candid and some posed shots, Jamey suggested we caravan to a eucalyptus grove that was just 10 minutes away. It was wooded and gorgeous, providing a different look for the photographs. I recommend Jamey highly for portraits, especially if you want photos shot in a outdoor setting with natural light. Wind was a factor for me in blustery SF, so next time I think I'll tie my hair back. If you get a chance, check out Thomas' portfolio online. I didn't post our best photos for privacy reasons - we have 79 images images on a CD, in both color and black and white. Our funniest photo was the "booty shot" directed by my son of all 4 of us sticking out our jean-clad (except the dog, who participated for sure!) booties standing against a log overlooking the forest. Though G-rated, it is a classic for sure. 5 enthusiastic stars.

My husband and I hired Jamey for our October 2012 backyard wedding in Santa Cruz. We found Jamey…read morethrough the vendor list on apracticalwedding.com where each vendor is required to take their Sanity Pledge. When you have a second, I suggest reading it. I interviewed a few photographers over the phone and kept coming back to Jamey. I just found him to be respectful, kind, straight-forward, not pushy, and reasonable. My husband and I met with Jamey in person where we looked at printed copies of his work and talked about our personalities and what we wanted in a photographer. We were sold. He captured movement and light so well. I cannot emphasize the importance of feeling comfortable with your photographer. My husband and I can be hams for the camera, but we can be bit shy when asked to be serious and pose. It was important to us to avoid having a yelling or aggressive photographer. We felt at ease with Jamey and we felt that our guests and family would be at ease as well. For our engagement photos, Jamey came to our home and took photos of us around our favorite places in Santa Cruz (our home w/ our cat, Ocean View Park, our local ice cream shop, the Boardwalk). In preparing for this photo shoot, Jamey just encouraged us to be comfortable, to do our thing. The results were excellent. It was a good warm-up for the big day. We had 130 guests at our wedding. Jamey was awesome and he fit right in with the crowd. Guests were just so impressed with how easily and nicely he moved through the crowd talking with people, asking to take a photo. Jamey's best photos are the photojournalistic shots - the candid photos of us and our guests having a great time. We had a backyard wedding and a lot of time and effort was spent to make that yard look special. He really captured how pretty it was. Jamey is worth it. I look at all the photos now and I find that they really do tell the story of that day. Other pluses: Jamey is responsive to emails and phone calls. He was so patient - I had lots of questions. Agreement for services was also abundantly clear. He provided final photos faster than expected. He was a joy to work with and I kinda miss harassing him with my questions and worries over outfits and makeup. My mother really liked him - that says a lot.

My friends met with a few photographers but rightfully chose Veronika. Words cannot describe how BEAUTIFUL the wedding pictures turned out. Veronika and her team worked like ninjas to catch the special moments that made the event so special. From decorations to lavish group photos, each photograph I saw had life and luster. I have used one of her photos as my facebook wall picture for the last six months. I can't get over how much I love it! I HIGHLY recommend Motion Scape for any photography needs you may have.You will be impressed!

We had a professional shoot scheduled at 8 AM on a Saturday, and Noah arrived on time and ready to go on the dot. Originally, the professional photoshoot was only going to be scheduled for 3 hours, but Noah is a perfectionist. He actually worked with me over 6 hours till 1-2 PM in the afternoon before he is satisfied with the shoots that he made. He took over 500+ photos over the 5-6 hour session, and the photos are outstanding. Some of his sample photos are listed here: http://www.noahbergerphoto.com. And the eventual photos he took for me are posted on this site: https://giving.mit.edu/mit10/challenge.html. I highly recommend Noah's work and his professionalism. I hope everyone looking for a good photographer would get a chance to work with Noah.
