    A Girl and A Camera Photography - A San Francisco Bay Area Wedding

    A Girl and A Camera Photography

    My wife and I got married this past December, and we couldn't be happier with our wedding…read morephotographer, Jennifer Michelson / A Girl and a Camera. 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.

They were professional, attentive, and so easy to have around on such an important day. What we absolutely loved was Jennifer's eye for the little moments. Beyond the portraits and formal shots, she captured the quiet glances, the spontaneous laughter, and all the small details that made our wedding day feel like ours. We can't recommend Jennifer highly enough!

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!!

I will *definitely be reaching out again to book more with Jasmine!

We didn't even take engagement photos, so we knew we had to do it right by getting the best wedding photos, and Jasmine was the perfect photographer for what we wanted. Our initial consult with her was so engaging, she made us feel at ease, described her process, and by the end of the call, we already had a good feeling she was the one. Even though I yelp everything I eat, I didn't think to yelp photographers lol -- I initially found Jasmine on IG, and immediately was drawn to her style of storytelling through photography. She does amazing flat lays, candid shots, portraits, action shots, and it was pretty amazing witnessing her in action on the day of. Initially meeting her in person was like meeting an old friend, she was so personable and sweet and I just felt at ease that our special day would be captured entirely that I was able to relax and enjoy my day. Her communication was very responsive, which helped play into this of course -- leading up to the day, she had us plan out the structure of our timeline and photographs which was immensely helpful. Jasmine and Justin were the elite combo - Justin had hand warmers ready and even made me an improvised bouquet during our portraits session and did his best to keep me warm while Karl the Fog decided to join us. Her directions for poses were clear, and her eye for details, her creativity were what makes her worth every penny. If you need a wedding photographer for your wedding day, your search is over, BOOK JASMINE! You won't regret it :)

If you are in search of a wedding photographer, look no further - Augie is your person! Augie was recommended to us by our venue (Casa Real) and from our first call we knew that we wanted to work with him. He's very professional, experienced, and someone you can trust to guide you throughout the process. We booked both our engagement session and wedding day coverage with Augie. During our engagement shoot, Augie brought great energy and made both of us feel completely at ease. Neither of us are naturally photo people, but he guided us effortlessly and helped us feel comfortable in front of the camera. And we loved our engagement photos! Augie was wonderful during our wedding day. Everything moves so fast and can feel overwhelming, but Augie was organized and efficient and kept us on schedule. He got us through what felt like endless permutations of family and group photos in record time, all while keeping things calm and stress-free. You can tell he's very experienced and knows how to navigate a busy wedding day. His candid style is exactly what we were looking for. Our photos feel authentic, emotional, and true to the moment. He also captured so many of the small, meaningful moments - like getting ready with my bridesmaids - so beautifully. Those are some of our favorite photos. He shared teaser photos with us right after our wedding, and it was such a treat to be able to see the photos so quickly and relive our day. We absolutely love our wedding photos and know we'll cherish them for the rest of our lives. We truly could not have asked for a better photographer to document our special day. Thank you Augie - we hope our paths cross again soon!

Augie is a kind, calming, and professional presence for kids and adults alike, putting everyone at ease. It may seem like photography sessions that feel candid would result in mediocre results, but somehow he always gets amazing shots. Anyone with toddlers and infants know how difficult it is to get more than one kid staring at the camera, much less capture natural smiles. I've been impressed every time, and look forward to future family portraits!

You have to work with Toanven Photography because you will not regret it at all and get everything you want and more!! Toan and team are the absolute very best - worked directly with Toan, Martin, Trieu, and Michael and all very professional and super easy to get along with! We used Toanven photography for our engagement photoshoot / pre wedding , church wedding ceremony at St.Jarlath Catholic Church and civil wedding at Nella terra cellars. Also used their videography services which was also really great. When looking for a photographer , we wanted to make sure that our photographer is easy going, can help guide us and has experience with our venue. I discovered Toanven photography because my best friend used their services for her wedding and after finding out Toan had lots of experience at Nella Terra we knew we had to meet him. On our first zoom call Toan was beyond welcoming and excited which made us excited. He made us laugh, made us comfortable and answered all of our questions and broke down the whole process. Before the wedding Toan helped us better plan our timeline for photos and took his time to understand what were the "must have photos". He gave us alternatives on how we can still get pictures with others and saving time. His advice on a family shot list was super helpful as well. On wedding day Toan was just the person I needed around me with all the craziness of wedding day. His personality bring calmness and he is quick to think if a photo location doesn't work well for the lighting - he found better positioning and areas for the photos the look flawless. Beyond helpful when it came to posing, how to stand , where to look and capture all the right angles. Lastly, Depending on the package you go for, you will get a set number of edits photos and our photos were so amazing it was hard to reach the number of edits we can use. That says a lot about how the quality of the photos are and how they already shine! So reach out to Toanven photography, I promise you will love every moment!
