    My pictures from PhotoBeats ALHS 75th Anniversary 2015

    I thought they did an excellent job. I am glad we had a photo booth all day and also at night for the dance. I am glad the postcard lists some of the prices if you want to rent for an event. They are very affordable.

    My husband and I hired Natalie to shoot our engagement photos last year up in Napa Valley. We went to various locations and had a blast with her! Both Natalie and Alan were punctual, professional, helpful and respectful! Natalie made sure that we had our poses down as well as giving us pointers on where to stand, etc. Even though it was really hot that day, they were true champions! They made our engagement shoot memorable and fun! Couple of months after that, we met up Natalie to shoot night time engagement photos around AT&T Park and again we were not disappointed. Our photos came out beautiful and our friends absolutely all love one of the photos we took there (which you can see in the photos section). Since she continually amazed us, we asked her to shoot our ceremony at City Hall; again one of our photos was a big hit with our friends! On the day of our reception, we utilized James, their DJ who did a wonderful job of keeping our guests dancing (since we had kids there, he made sure the music was appropriate). He came right on time and set up before the guests got there which made our day less stressful! We also hired their photography booth which was a HUGE hit with our guests; we were pleased at how professional they were but again, they came early to set up and test out the equipment which again Made our day less stressful. We got so many compliments from our guests about the photo booth and just recently my coworker told me that one of her favorite parts of our reception was the photo booth! Thank you Natalie, Alan and James for helping us create beautiful memories!

    PhotoBeats is awesome! They photographed three events I attended: my high school reunion (the year before last), my friend's wedding (last year), and my own wedding (this year). I love all the pictures they took of me and my family and friends. Their work is solid, and I really appreciate all the delicate touches they put into our wedding photos - I really treasure the memories they captured for us and hope others also get to experience and benefit from their photography and related services. They don't miss anything: Especially for our wedding, PhotoBeats captured all the important moments, including quick things that you can easily miss in the blink of an eye. Important to me (since I also like taking pics, albeit not professionally), they were unobtrusive when taking photos, particularly candids (unlike thoughtless photographers who hover too closely to the subjects or who block guests from taking any nice shots of their own or from even seeing what's going on). They also didn't mind helping guests take pictures on their own cameras/smartphones (after taking a copy for us first, of course). They were professional and aimed to please, taking pics we asked for as well as suggesting pics and poses when we were stumped, to make the most of our time. Reasonably short wait time for photos: A batch of quality event photos always takes awhile to process, but to keep you from going stir-crazy waiting for them, PhotoBeats posts a few same-day previews, which I really appreciated - instant gratification! They were also careful to run them by us before they released them publicly, to make sure they were pictures we were happy with sharing. I'm glad I had PhotoBeats - some of my friends who got other photographers for their weddings told me horror stories of asking and waiting more than half a year to even see any of their wedding pictures (one couple visiting family over the holidays didn't receive their photos in time to show elderly family who weren't able to attend their wedding, which was really sad). This was not a problem with PhotoBeats - we got the finished set of pictures in two months (granted, we had a short wedding ceremony and a cozy number of guests - so if you have a long ceremony and a reception and a ton of events in general, it may take awhile longer, as processing time can vary depending on a lot of things). User-friendly delivery: PhotoBeats asked us how we wanted the finished photos, and we decided it would be fastest and easiest to get them online (though they can also mail them to you). Our pics were posted on their website (but password-protected for our friend's - it's up to you), easy to view (individually and in aggregate), quick to download (one by one, or all at once), and share (via the link to send to family and friends). It was all very simple and efficient. Wonderful to work with: They only use the best photographers who are skilled with high-quality camera equipment, adjusting for lighting, angles, timing, etc. On top of their professionalism (respectful, responsive, reasonable, flexible, and fairly punctual), they're also pleasant (friendly, relaxed, and fun, but stays on business). I look forward to seeing them work at future events.

    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.

We can't recommend Jennifer highly enough!

    Kevin photographed my wedding last month and was truly a great find. Most of the photographers we…read morefound on Zola were way over our budget or not quite the style we were looking for. We were fortunate that we found Kevin through our coordinator. Kevin is VERY easygoing and down to earth. He is also clearly experienced and keeps things pretty casual while shooting, which makes photos a little more bearable for people who really can't stand taking photos such as myself. I was also super annoyed/snapping at my now husband pretty much up until the ceremony (there was a lot going on, I promise I'm usually nice to him) but Kevin somehow made me look not as angry as I actually was in the photos, so that's a win! A major standout was when things immediately after the ceremony did not go as planned, and the order of events we had discussed with another vendor did not go as we expected. My husband and I were definitely not thrilled, and our coordinator was prepping for our reception so she was not there at that moment. Kevin took control of the situation to try to make things go the way we had originally hoped they would go, which involved herding people he obviously didn't know. He definitely went above and beyond there, and my guests definitely noticed. I agree with the review about Kevin being a mind reader- he has very good emotional intelligence and is somehow everywhere. My officiant was wearing a Snoopy pin which I was freaking out about because I love Snoopy, and somehow he was there at that moment and got a closeup of it. My coworkers and I all took a shot together, and out of nowhere he showed up and started taking pictures. There was also a moment my uncle "stole" a slice of pizza from my one year old nephew that my family couldn't stop talking about, and Kevin managed to capture the moments before and after the "theft". No one even realized that he had taken those photos until I sent them the pictures. There's a reason (or rather, many reasons) Kevin has all five star reviews! Book him!

She gave all direction of movement, yet the pictures came out so authentically us. I have no idea how she did it. It was her first time shooting at our venue, and we didn't have a wedding coordinator. So she had to both mark out all the couple-only shots and manage time for our friend and family pics within 90min (the reservation cap for our venue).

We worked with Alina by sharing our preferred photo spots and some inspo photos to communicate a "vibe" we liked. Alina offered some great new ideas, too. On the wedding day, Alina managed to capture the magic of all the details -- candid shots of our friends and family, snapshots of the venue and florals, and more. We had such a blast looking at the album; it was like reliving the day! The true joy, however, was sharing our photos with our family. They shared that the pictures were show-stopping and have repeatedly asked for prints for themselves! (Lots of, "and your photographer was just incredible, truly.") They cannot believe how spectacular our photos turned out, and we have to agree. Our jaws were on the floor looking through the album! Shooting with Alina was comfortable, too. She is such a sweet soul and I only hope I have a chance to work with her again in the future! Thanks, Alina, for capturing our special day -- so glad we can return to these pictures to remember it!

She is able to capture family dynamics while creating a comfortable vibe for children (key when you have a toddler!) AND capture the beauty of nature all at the same time. I honestly think she is a magician with her camera and even if you're certain that you had an awkward expression or your child only made angry faces, she somehow manages to capture beautiful shots with perfect framing. Not only is the photo session wonderful, but even her advice in preparation for the session is so valuable. She provides a personalized styling service that helped me pick color schemes that came out so beautifully in the pictures. She's also great at recommending photo shoot locations and is so thoughtful about items that she recommends we bring for the shoot. The resulting photos are incredibly beautiful, some as if they are out of a magazine, and I can't wait to get a few of them printed. Ashley is the best, and she helped capture some of these moments that we will cherish forever.

I printed some of the photos for the Grandparents. Everyone was blown away at the beauty of the shot and how lovely the kids were in the photo. If you're looking for a family photographer, you found her! Just book the appointment. It's not only worth the investment, it's also a fun time together.

He's very professional, friendly, quick to respond, and just amazing to work with overall. I had just started wedding planning when I ran into a friend who told me Augie was their photographer and shared his info. We had looked through a number of photographers, but Augie's work stood out to us through all of it--his photos truly captured the feeling of each moment, and we loved everything in his portfolio. When we reached out, he responded so quickly and answered all our questions right away. For our engagement shoot, it was my husband's first time doing a formal photoshoot. Augie came very prepared, offered great tips, and made us feel completely at ease. He was so easy to talk to and work with, and we genuinely had such a fun time with him! He was also flexible with timing and weather to make sure we could get the best lighting. We were blown away by his ability to notice something special in just a few seconds and turn it into a beautifully captured moment. For our wedding day, Augie was even more impressive. I had shared our (very full) itinerary with him ahead of time, and I was surprised to notice that he knew it by heart. When we started running behind, he gently but efficiently helped move things along. Even though it was his first time at our venue, he had an incredible eye for finding perfect spots, turning a simple fence into a magical backdrop. He worked seamlessly around the golfers at our venue, guiding us at the right times and capturing the sweetest in-between moments. He also accommodated all our specific requests, including photos with our sports car and dress details. We absolutely love our wedding photos and all the special moments he preserved. We were also so impressed with how fast he sent us our sneak peek photos--it was such a fun surprise to get highlights so quickly. Overall, I can't stress enough how grateful we are for Augie and everything he captured during our engagement shoot and wedding day. We're so happy with all the memories he helped capture that we will cherish forever, and I truly can't recommend him enough.
