    As a wedding planner, I am lucky to work with folks like Cindy. She was responsive, reliable, flexible, understanding, and just overall fun to work with! These are things you expect from a professional photographer~ but photographing a wedding mid-pandemic~ these qualities are more important than ever. And, of course, on top of all this- her finished product is fabulous! I'd highly recommend Cindy, and hope to work with her in the future! :)

    I got engaged in August 2018 & married in Feb 2019. I found Cindy in Sept and I was more than happy that I found her via yelp! Her prices/packages are a great find. But once we spoke to her, and worked with her, her talent and friendliness was most important to us! I got the engagement/wedding package, and we did engagement photos in Sept 2019. She spent a little over an hour with us (the session calls for an hour) and she shot at Sutro Baths before which was helpful. My husband and I are pretty camera shy to see helped us feel more calm and at ease! This made us more excited to work with her in Feb for our wedding. She didn't shoot at our venue before so she offered to visit the venue with us in Nov! Throughout the planning process, she was kind, professional, and sweet. Our wedding day, she was punctual and her talent just reflected through all of our our engagement and wedding photos. I know when we show our families all the photos (we want to wait to show them in person b/c of the shelter in place), they'll love it because she captured everything we wanted and they are all beautiful memories. We were more than pleased with our photos and we highly recommend Cindy. Thank you again Cindy! Shout out to Stephen for being the 2nd photographer at our wedding! You were so amazing!!!

    Of all the wedding vendors to me the most important was the photographer. I searched long and hard to find the perfect one. I found Orange Turtle on a blog for a wedding they did at Mt. Diablo State Park. The pictures and whimiscal, calm nature of their photographs are just beautiful. I knew it was exactly what I was looking for in a photographer and my search was over. Cindy and Daniel are great, very easy going and professional and such a cute married couple. I am not the best in front of a camera because I get very nervous, but they made it easy on us and the photos ended up turning out great. My fiance had food poisoning in the engagement photos and you can't tell in the final product at all. We did not hire a videographer and were worried we would regret this, but we do not, due to the story that the pictures tell. I will treasure the very candid nature of the photos. I highly recommend Cindy and Daniel, you will not be disappointed.

    Of all the wedding vendors that I worked with Orange Turtle was the most professional. From receiving an Introduction package upon booking to let me know exactly what to expect, to the actual photo taking during our engagement session and wedding day, to the packaging and thank you note after the fact. I LOVED our photos and our experience was A+ from start to finish. Cindy is extremely talented and I can't tell you how many of my friends complimented our photos. She has a unique point of view and I was amazed how natural we looked in every photo she captured. For our engagement shoot, they recommended a couple spots, but I actually suggested one of my favorite places in San Diego and they happily agreed. We met at the location and brought a few props and a change of clothes, my fiance's fishing poles and our cowboy boots because they held special meaning to us. They incorporated them very nicely and I was blown away with the final product. At the wedding, they were professional, treated my family and friends kindly. And the photos really told our wedding story completely and so well. The photos truly do speak for themselves, but the service and experience with Cindy & Daniel is what sets them apart. I'd recommend them to anyone and I've actually had 2 other friends book them for their weddings since.

    A-FRICKEN-MAZING! Orange Turtle captured our wedding perfectly! Cindy and Daniel are such talented artists and are totally able to capture the beauty of the subject in the picture. They are also so fun to work with!!! I'm obsessed with my wedding pictures and cannot stop looking at them. I've received so many comments on how Cindy and Daniel captured the happiness of our wedding. When you hear that from your guests, you've totally succeeded! FYI - Your wedding day passes by so quickly so hire someone who will really embrace the best moments of the wedding. After all is said and done, you really only have your pictures as a keepsake. Thankfully, I had Cindy and Daniel to help me remember my day.

    I only trust Cindy to take photos for my major life events such as my engagement and wedding!

Alex was clear on posing directions and had such a calm demeanor/communication style that helped me feel reassured. Sheryl was our second photographer who captured the best candids and fun moments (e.g. one of the groomsmen had his shirt off and I didn't know until we saw the photos! HAHA). Dillan was here, there, and everywhere to get the best angles for our first dance, games, and guest reactions. Looking at our photos, I'm floored with how beautiful they turned out! The wedding day came and went like a flash, but now we have sooo many photos to remind us of the happy and heartwarming moments from that day. Excited to see how the videos turn out! Highly recommend considering True Photography & Video!

One. OH MY GOD MICHELLE IS THE BEST and I cannot sing her praises enough! I knew from the beginning that photos were the most important vendor to me for the wedding because they are what will last through the years, and everyone says your wedding goes by so fast, so I wanted to ensure I could look back on the photos to remember all the little details I might forget one day. That said, Michelle NAILED IT! We booked her 8 hour package with a second shooter and she was worth every cent - plus her second shooter was amazing too! We did our engagement shoot with her and we loved the location she picked out (we told her we wanted woodsy photos and they turned out stunning) and she gave us a ton of direction which we absolutely loved and needed!! Come wedding day, she was so professional and listened to what I had to say - I told her I wanted more greenery/trees in the photos so she walked around and found greenery and trees! I chose her because of her editing style, skill, and experience. She responds pretty quickly but please keep in mind these vendors are crazy busy with all the Covid weddings being caught up with this year so if you don't hear back immediately, just be patient! & please keep in mind no photographer can get you every single shot you want, it's just not possible - they're only human! But Michelle did get special moments that I didn't even notice (like the photo of my dad and I) and she captured still shots like the lift in our first dance! I'm so thankful for all these moments she captured! She was all around amazing and is so sweet and kind. Can't wait to see her again when it comes time for maternity photos (don't worry, Michelle, it won't be for a while)!

    When my wife and I were looking for a photographer for our wedding we wanted two things: someone…read morewith a more photojournalistic (documentary) style, and someone who liked to shoot on film. We met with several photographers before meeting with Sini and immediately knowing she was the perfect fit! The day of the wedding, we barely noticed her and her assistant as they captured beautiful, honest, candid photos of us and our friends and families. They were sweet, sincere (not posed), intimate, FUNNY. The vast majority of our photos were taken without us noticing or having to participate, allowing us to stay in the moment and relish in the magic of the day. I worked in the wedding industry for 12 years as a DJ and have attended over 500 weddings, so the last thing I wanted was to participate in staged photos. That said, we did do a 15-20 minute photoshoot during cocktail hour where Sini was fully capable of playing with us (and our elderly dog), offering direction when needed, and somehow managing to keep this portion free flowing and fun. (We are incredibly dumb human beings who definitely appreciated her playfulness and sense of humor). Sini quickly delivered AMAZING photos that were creative, fun, sincere, captured the creativity in our details, and MOST OF ALL... offered such a beautiful snapshot of both our personalities and those of our cherished guests. We are SO so happy we chose to go with Sini for our wedding and now have so so many keepsakes to help us remember the special day. Sincerely, thank you, Sini. -K & A

    Sini is truly the best engagement & wedding photographer we could have asked for! We told our…read morewedding planner from the start that we NEEDED to have her as our photographer because we wanted a unique, editorial style of photography, and Sini perfectly fit the bill. From the beginning, Sini was so genuinely kind and truly such a pleasure to work with... we truly felt that we gained a friend through the process! Both my husband and I were feeling a bit nervous about our engagement session because we had never been photographed as a couple before and we felt we would be awkward. However, Sini made the whole process feel so comfortable & easy, which made us all the more confident that she would do an amazing job on our wedding day. When we got those engagement photos back we were truly wowed by her talent.. not only were the photos SO beautiful, but we felt that she really captured the essence of us so perfectly. Her creativity, professionalism, & artistry is truly unmatched. Our friends & family still talk about those photos to this day! Sini was also very accommodating throughout the entire process.. even adjusting the ratio of film photos to fit our preferences after we sent some inspiration for our wedding. She took note of all the shots we wanted, and made sure to leave space for suggestions as well. She did a great job of directing us, our family, and wedding party as she took photos, making sure everyone had clear instructions on what to do, which allowed everyone to feel comfortable. She was honestly such an essential part of our wedding experience and we're incredibly grateful that we were able to work with her. We truly couldn't imagine having anyone else capture our special day. We love you, Sini!! Thank you for everything!
