Her turn around time is also reasonably quick so you don't have to wait for too long. Would definitely recommend and hopefully get other sessions in the future!

I ended up entering in a giveaway for engagement photos and we won! My fiancé and I were so excited since we didn't think we'd be able to get pictures done due to our short timeframe before our wedding. She was able to work with our tight schedule and we couldn't be happier with the whole experience! Alison was so personable, professional, and an absolute gem! She made us feel so comfortable, she was even able to get my fiancé to smile! Lol our photo session was so smooth and the location she picked was gorgeous, it was exactly the vibe we wanted. Also, she was able to edit our pictures so fast, which is a HUGE plus and we couldn't be happier! I literally cried when I seen them! She made my dreams come to life through her photo's! We were blown away and will definitely be booking with her again!

When I looked into Bay Area photographers for a fun and relatively informal photo session with my…read moresignificant other, I found no shortage of options, but one website and portfolio truly stood out -- Nightingale Photography. 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!

Truly the best of the best! Not only did the photos come out absolutely stunning and perfect (and…read moreI'm a tough critic) but during the photo shoot, Christina was SO lovely.

From the moment of booking through following up after we had purchased our final products, her communication was phenomenal and timely. Booking our session was very easy and user-friendly (all done online) and she made her instructions and what to expect very clear and straight forward. We knew exactly where to go, when to go, and she was ready for us when we arrived at the beautiful location she had picked out for these sessions. Our session went wonderfully and we were so in love with our photos. She also made several options available to expanding our package from our base package that we started with, which made picking out photos for different family members a very easy and streamlined process. We would recommend her in a heartbeat and will definitely book her again in the future.

Kidding. Mostly. She shot our engagement photos and our wedding day and both sessions did not disappoint. She goes above and beyond as a wedding photographer; she went from taking photos and safety pinning my dress to giving me breathing exercises and coaching me through some of the biggest moments of our wedding day. She is hilarious, kind, and an all around wonderful human being. I absolutely love her and cannot recommend her any more highly.

I rarely like photos of myself but loved the finished product! It was incredible that such a brief, easy 30-min session (and one booked last minute besides!) could yield so many amazing shots (that were delivered within days! I did the rush option). Not only were the photos spectacular, Hilary was also just truly such a joy to be around during the shoot - can't wait to recommend her to everyone I know looking for a photographer!!

We've had annual family photo sessions with Hilary for the past five years (and even two sessions…read morein one year!), and she has been phenomenal every single time. She's wonderful with our kids--whether it was a newborn, a fussy toddler, or now more cooperative school-aged kids, she's been able to capture beautiful moments through every stage. One year my younger daughter was especially shy and grumpy about photos, but you'd never know it from the gorgeous images Hilary delivered. She's also great with pets and even got our dog to "smile" at the camera for a few shots this year! We included my parents in a session one year, and Hilary handled the larger family group seamlessly. She also has a great eye for locations, whether it's a tried-and-true spot or somewhere new, and she always makes the most of the setting. On top of that, her pricing is very reasonable, especially since you get to keep all the images from your session, and she's always prompt with delivery. Hilary makes family photos stress-free and fun, and the results are consistently stunning--we look forward to working with her every year.

Very unsatisfied with the professionalism of my daughters photographer Stan Angel.When having a…read moreconsultation he said a price of $125 and asked my daughter what she wanted to have for her shoot, she expressed country (tall grass, barn, wild flowers, etc) and that she did enjoy horses. Stan said that he could probably arrange a hose, which he did, kudos. Not once did he say there would be fees for the venue or a horse, now he's crying a different tune; if he mentioned fees before I would not have batted an eyelash to get what my daughter desired in her photos. Instead most shots were done with horses and not so much of what my daughter expressed on what she wanted, country. Dont get me wrong horses are great and all but why would I want to immortalize my daughter with an animal that is not hers? Now when all is said and done the final outcome is horrific photo shopping. Being an unsatisfied and a paying client I would think he would want to correct his work and have a happy client, right? Instead he is tucking tale and giving me a refund of the $70 I already paid. I asked for the "raw" photos so that i can have an actual professional photoshop editor correct the images, but Stan refuses because it is his "work"! Understandable, but I would think those are the only photos I want so my daughter can have a Senior portrait to share with her family and friends. NOT WORTH A STAR. Very unprofessional and when my family and I try to come to some sort of agreement he throws a temper tantrum and tucks tail. If you want shady editing go to this guy. Make sure at the consultation that you get all your T's crossed and I's dotted, afterwards he might cry foul play. NOT RECOMMENDED

It was a no brainer. And knowing that this guy has been doing it for so long tells you he is consistent in his work, he does great work, and his clients love him (obviously he has 5 stars everywhere!) When you want someone to photograph this once in a lifetime moment, you know you need the expertise of someone like Joseph, who has photographed hundreds of proposals himself. I knew of his reputation as one of the best San Francisco wedding photographer companies, but can wholeheartedly recommend him for all photography needs as he puts a lot of care and time into all his clients.

My husband and I didn't want stiff posed photos for our wedding, and we admittedly have a very particular aesthetic that we thought would be hard to match. We scored big time finding Gretchen--a wildly talented photographer, warm, fun, and hilarious person, and an always calming presence during what has the potential to feel like an overwhelming event. She did our engagement and wedding photos, and both times she managed to turn our initially awkward and stiff reactions to the camera into an unbelievably gorgeous set of photos, capturing all the little authentic moments between our more awkward or contrived poses. She has a knack for capturing landscapes, finding the best backdrops for romantic photos that don't feel forced. She was always warmly willing to humor us in our bizarre requests, like photographing us with our microscope. She has a way of making you forget that you're being photographed and instead it feels like you're hanging out with a fun friend. Her photos speak for themselves. We could not be happier with how they turned out, and we are endlessly grateful that we'll be able to remember the special day with Gretchen's art. Photos are a very special way to capture a once in a lifetime experience, and Gretchen is definitely the person you want on your team. We found her pricing so much more reasonable than many other photographers, and the quality of her photos much more I be like with what we were looking for. Gretchen places brilliant emphasis on the importance of kindness throughout her process. In an industry that can quickly feel material and cut throat, she brings such a refreshing and genuine perspective to the wedding world, focusing on the importance of love (while also giving plenty of space for her clients to embrace some inner diva ). We can't recommend Gretchen enough and we are entirely grateful we had the chance to work with her. Now we're looking for more excuses to photograph events and work with her again!

Cecilia calmed my nerves even though I think I said I dont know what to do with my hands way too many times they remained professional, not annoyed and helped me with where to put my hands. I never felt uncomfortable for long and they made it easy. I found out after the shoot that they also shoot dogs. When my boy started getting sick I booked a shoot with them. Will update when I get those back as well. I had 3 seperate bookings with them already, and refer them to everyone I know. I wish I had knew about them for my wedding would have booked them for that as well.
