I had long promised my husband that I would do a boudoir photo session. I researched many…read morephotographers and luckily, I came upon Jason Guy's photographs. I knew within minutes that he was the one I wanted to work with. I loved all the lighting and photo compositions in his gallery. His attention to ALL details is unparalleled! If you have any doubts in your mind about working with Jason, let me save you time, and say unequivocally DO IT! From our first phone call discussing details about location and the photo shoot, he answered my questions and asked for my input and what I wanted to see. Jason is a consummate professional and I urge you to read his guidance emails about what appointments to make the week of (waxing, manicures etc) and then what lingerie suits your body type. For me this was invaluable advice since I was at a loss what would accentuate my figure, but with Jason's guide I found great corsets and bodysuits that I loved wearing! I cannot neglect mentioning Ducky who Jason works exclusively with for makeup and hair. She did an amazing job! Then during the photo session, seriously listen to everything Jason tells you do. Just smile and enjoy the experience! Jason will help you pose and create the most beautiful and memorable photos of you. I'm still in awe viewing the photos from that day. Thank you so much Jason!

I can't recommend JG Boudoir enough…read more When I first found Jason's work, I was completely drawn in -- every image he posted radiated confidence, beauty, and a kind of self-assurance I didn't think I had. I admired the women in his photos but truly never imagined I could be one of them. After sitting on it for a while, I finally booked a session. From the very first consultation, Jason made me feel completely comfortable and supported. He walked me through every step -- from prepping, to posing, to coaching me through expressions -- all while making sure I felt empowered the entire time. His makeup artist, Ducky was incredible, helping me feel my absolute best before stepping in front of the camera. But the real magic happened after the first few shots -- when Jason turned the camera around and showed me the photos. I genuinely couldn't believe what I was seeing. It was me -- but through a lens I had never seen myself through before. I felt proud. I felt compassion for myself. And I walked away from that session forever changed. Since then, my entire relationship with my body and self-image has shifted. What Jason creates is so much more than photos -- it's an experience that allows you to finally see yourself the way others see you. If you've ever even thought about doing a boudoir session, I encourage you to book with Jason. You deserve to see yourself this way.

I actually found Jennifer after searching online for photographers in San Francisco and her work immediately stood out. Her style felt fresh and unconventional -- more documentary and journalistic than traditional -- and I especially loved her use of black and white photography, which was a big reason we chose her. The day started at our hotel, where she jumped between our separate rooms to capture my wife and me getting ready. Before she had even gotten to our rooms, she had already scouted the perfect location for our first look. The moment was absolutely incredible, and she handled everything; we didn't have to do a thing but follow her lead. That professional confidence continued at City Hall. She has a masterful familiarity with the building. She took full control of the shoot, guiding us as she told us exactly where to stand, how to pose, and where to move next so we could just relax and enjoy the moment. As a photographer myself, I really appreciated her confidence and professionalism. All we had to do was follow instructions and be present. She knows San Francisco City Hall inside and out -- the lighting, the angles, the timing, and the key locations that truly matter -- every shot felt deliberate and it showed. The technical skill here is top-notch-- the compositions were beautiful, the balance of each frame was spot-on, and her gorgeous color grading. We received around 300 images, and the quality is so consistent that I plan to print every last one of them in large format to ensure we have a permanent physical archive. When we received the final package, we were so touched -- she sent our photos on a beautiful USB drive along with printed images, some sweets, and other thoughtful details. It was the perfect finishing touch to a genuinely wonderful experience. If you're getting married at City Hall -- or anywhere in San Francisco -- Jennifer Michelson / A Girl and a Camera is exceptional. Thank you Jennifer! Laura and Junior.

She was easy going and kept the photography process simple and fun. She worked with our tight schedule without any stress, even when some things didn't go according to plan (ie. people not showing up at the right spot/time). We truly appreciated how prepared and creative she was, knowing what photos to take and where to take them. And whenever there was a random group photo being taken by a cell phone, she would magically appear and take an even better photo for us. Amazing! We will definitely reach out to her if we ever need photography services again. Thank you so much, Anna!

If I could give Anna more than 5 stars I would because she deserves it!…read more We worked with Anna to do our engagement photos and for the day of our wedding. For the engagement photos, this was back in November 2023. She was already there when we arrived. Zach and I both felt so awkward and nervous since this was our first photo shoot, but Anna worked her magic and did her best to help us relax for the entire session. She's also a dog person so I was overjoyed that our dog was able to join us in these photos. After we saw the amazing engagement photos, I knew I had to secure her for our wedding day. Her response time is great as well; she will let you know when she is out of town and how long/when to expect a response from her. Our wedding was in mid-July 2024. Anna was there early again to scope out the wedding venue and checked in with both Zach and I the entire event. When I was having trouble walking in my dress, she was quick on her feet to help me. We had a long list of photos we wanted with family and she was able to organize everyone in a timely fashion. We only saw a snippet of the wedding photos, but I already know that the rest will turn out wonderfully. Anna is super friendly, approachable and such a sweet and kind person. She has a professional demeanor that is also very open, honest and fun. Working with her both times has been a wonderful experience. I highly recommend Anna for anyone that wants their special moments captured. I look forward to working with her in possible future photo shoots :) Thank you so much Anna! You are amazing!!

I knew from the moment I saw her work that Christina was going to be the right choice, and she did not disappoint. Tons of positives: - she was easy to communicate and plan with, even when I wanted to switch one of my locations the week of the shoot - she made us both feel comfortable in front of the camera, which is no small task - she was flexible with my ideas, but also brought her own to the table - photos were back even sooner than I'd expected, and were of the quality I'd seen on her website But I think what I liked best was Christina herself. She was extremely pleasant to work with, and treated my casual event with the same professionalism and respect that she would a wedding. She had very positive presence and brought a really good energy and enthusiasm to the shoot. She was a lot of fun and brought out the best in my partner and me. I'm so glad I selected Christina and Nightingale Photography, and she would absolutely be my first choice if I were to need a photographer again. Thank you!

He was so kind, friendly, professional and all the great things you want in a photographer capturing your special moments. I believe he finalized edits and sends within 3-4 weeks and I can't wait to see. Bonus was that he sent over more than 10 sneak-peaks within 24 hours!!!

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!!

Of all the portfolios we looked at (and we looked at MANY), Anne-Claire's was the only one that fit the style and attention to detail we were looking for, and working with her did not disappoint. All of our photos came out STUNNING, and she made absolute magic out of our couple portraits, which had to be taken entirely indoors due to the pouring rain the night of our wedding. She has such a good eye for light and framing, it was hard to narrow down favorites from either shoot because we loved SO MANY of our photos! We also really loved her style of shooting - she knew how to capture all the right moments at exactly the right times, but you otherwise didn't notice her unless necessary (like when shooting our family portraits). Anne-Claire was super responsive over email, very thorough in her shot planning before the wedding, and we'd jump at the chance to work with her again. Absolutely worth the investment for the beauty she captured in this huge milestone of our lives.

We felt so reassured after our initial talk with Anne-Claire when she explained her philosophy of capturing authentic emotions, human connection, and sense memories. These things really set her apart from your average wedding photographer; we know that years from now when we look through these photos, we won't just remember the events of the day, but also how we felt. Since we've started sharing our photos with people, we have been hearing nonstop praise about the quality of the photos. We highly recommend Anne-Claire - if you're looking for a photographer who will not just capture an event but also create incredible art, she's your person!
