I cannot say enough about Brandon Kidd Photography. I fell in love with Brandon's work pretty…read moreearly on in the wedding planning process. Like many modern day brides--I opted for websites like Style Me Pretty and Green Wedding Shoes for inspiration. I am not a bride that commands an ultra formal wedding. I wanted something whimsical, romantic, and fun--and i wanted vendors who's work reflected that. As I scoured the sites, certainly, there were tons of amazing photographers. And while I liked many and bookmarked many--my search came to a stop when I came across Brandon's work. His work is absolutely beautiful. Brandon doesn't just have a big fancy camera. His pictures have heart. He captures everyone in their every bit of happiness. Truly, every time I look at his photos--i am overwhelmed with emotion. Brandon was one of the first people I booked--and by far the best decision I made. He's not cheap--but he's worth every penny. He is extremely professional, courteous, responsive and warm. Our wedding day would not have been the dream it was if it were not for Brandon and Kristin (second shooter). I can go on and on--but really, his pictures speak for themselves.

After meeting Brandon for the first time, my wife and I were sold - not only is he a talented…read morephotographer, but he and his wife Kristin are such likeable people that we enjoyed working with them and getting to know to know them through our journey towards marriage. I would highly recommend that you consider hiring Brandon and Kristin as your photographers. This was money well-spent, and my wife and I still can't stop looking through the engagement and wedding photos that they took.

I hate to leave a negative review but I feel I owe it to future consumers for an objective review…read more I originally was going to book videography, photography and engagement photoshoot with Prestige because the price is incredible and portfolio seems legit, plus they had 5 star rating on yelp. I was going to take a risk and was hoping for the best. They pride themselves in being "Walmart" of photography business. Prices are definitely good, but like Walmart, quality suffers. Luckily I only tried them out for engagement photoshoot first, but was so disappointed when I got back the photos. Out of hundreds of photos, there was only about 2 "decent" ones I liked. The ones "edited" ones honestly looked like something I can just edit on apple phone, and I don't know much about photography. On top of $400 for 3 hr photoshoot,I live in San Jose and had to pay for flight to So Cal and pay for hair and makeup; it was money wasted. I didn't even used the engagement photo for my wedding reception. I actually ended up using photos we took while on vacation in Puerto Vallarta, because they were offering free 15 mins photoshoot and you only pay what you like ( we ended up with way photos we liked in this impromptu photo session than the 3 hrs spent with Prestige) On photoshoot day, Jan brought her daughter ( about 10 years I believe) as the helper. Her daughter was a sweetheart but it's still very unprofessional to bring a child as your "second photographer." I'm not sure if Jan was having a bad day, but I felt there was a lack of passion in photos and demeanor. It poured during photoshoot for 30 mins so I lost half and hour. I didn't get to go to my third location and I had 5 minutes left and wanted to do a quick outfit change to capture a couple photos in that outfit but Jan wasn't too happy about it but did obliges to my request. She didn't even offer to make up for the 30 mins we lost. I would've gladly paid a little extra. I gave them 2 stars because they were very responsive, answers all my question and concerns prior to the photoshoot, and I got my photos back quickly.

They're missing a star becuase of their price, and I've never really had any personal experience with them except for a couple of photos of the bridal party at my friend's wedding. If money's no object, I would definitely go with them. Their photos are NatGeo quality!

Apertura's work is hard to top. We've scoured HUNDREDS of sites, blogs, wpja.com pages, etc, and…read morewe ultimately decided on Ray and Erwin. They shot our friends' weddings very early on and now they are our circle's unofficial wedding photographer. They are so good we choose them (LA-based) over many of the Bay Area photographers in our own backyard. Their work speaks for itself. It's hard to describe their work and style because it's really just awesome art. We also bought an album from them and it was spectacular. Yes, our wedding did cost an arm and a leg, but Apertura was one of the few vendors that was worth every single penny. We highly getting their album package... if you can afford it. They are a hot commodity now, but still maintain a level of humility that is admirable. People as good as them usually have big heads (we know, we've talked to many of them), so it's refreshing to see talented people get the recognition they deserve. But onto the real review... Apertura as a wedding photographer (they do shoot non-wedding events and commercial work as well): if we word to use one word to describe their technique it'd be "stealthy." And if there was second word, we'd use "intuitive." They shot our engagement session and wedding day so we know their technique pretty well by now. We also blog-stalked them for months before our wedding, hoping to take the best type of shots from every couple. In the end, it didn't matter. They shoot fast and furious, but with a genius eye. You won't realize how talented they are until you see them work. We were in San Francisco's Embarcadero Center and we moved from site to site without wasting any time. This is key during an e-session shoot and your wedding day. You want to spend the most time with your friends and family while still capturing key, breathtaking moments with a professional lens. It's still very hard to describe how great their work is. Their portfolio will speak for itself, but what differentiates the good from the bad photographers are technique and professionalism. These guys have it. It's no wonder they are fast becoming one of the most recognized photographers around. And we're so glad to be their first review on Yelp!

My wife and I hired Chris for our wedding and engagement photos…read more He was very attentive to all of our needs and request. My wife and I had never been professionally photographed before and he made sure that we were comfortable so our pictures came out the way we hoped. The pictures came out AMAZING! I honestly wouldn't have went with anyone else for our wedding! We couldn't have asked for a better photographer! I highly recommend his services, whether it's for a wedding, engagement, shower, or event! I will definitely be calling him again when we have our first child! Thank you for everything Chris!!

DO NOT HIRE THIS PHOTOGRAPHER - SCAM ALERT!…read more I deeply regret hiring Jimmy for my wedding. After paying in full for a wedding album that I spent hours assembling according to his instructions, I was left with NOTHING. Despite numerous attempts to contact him, he has blocked me and refuses to provide the product I paid for. This was supposed to be a cherished keepsake of one of the most important days of my life, and instead, I'm left with nothing but frustration and disappointment. His unprofessionalism and complete disregard for customer service are unacceptable. I'm sharing my experience to warn others -- if you value your memories and your money, avoid this photographer at all costs. There are too many reputable professionals out there to risk dealing with someone so dishonest.

Everything went wrong, I was more than an hour late to my ceremony and the entire time Jodie was keeping me calm and relaxed. I have only seen about 30 photos so far but everything is incredible! She has a very great talent and I was so happy to have her there for my special day. Even though that day was hectic, she was able to capture special moments and make everything look wonderful. I would recommend her 1,000%. Her prices are extremely reasonable. On my hunt for a wedding photographer, it seemed as though every one of them wanted to charge several hundred dollars per hour! Our budget was only $500 and she made it work. We even booked her for our engagement shoot and I received so many compliments about how beautiful the pictures were. I'm already receiving compliments on our wedding photos as well, and we don't even have them all yet! So to sum up, Jodie and Mike are great!!! Give them a call and you will be surprised at how comfortable they make you feel the first time you meet them. Their photography is worth 5 times what they charge so if you're debating, I say go for it! A bride is the hardest person to please and I am beyond impressed!
