We had the pleasure of working with Eric for our wedding photos at SF City Hall, and we couldn't be…read morehappier with the entire experience. From the very beginning, Eric was incredibly responsive and helpful. Even before our shoot, he shared great tips and answered all our questions, which made us feel confident and excited going into the day. On the day of our wedding, Eric showed up early and was extremely professional. His talent and vision were clear right away. My husband and I aren't the most experienced when it comes to posing, but Eric guided us through everything so naturally. One of the best parts? The turnaround time. He sent us a sneak peek of the photos just a few hours after the shoot -- and they already looked amazing! By the next day, he sent over all the unedited photos so we could choose our favorites. The final edits came back in just a week, and you could tell he put a lot of time and effort into each image. If you're looking for a talented, professional, and genuinely kind photographer, I highly recommend Eric. He captured our special day beautifully and made the whole process easy and enjoyable!

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!

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.

We can't recommend Jennifer highly enough!

My fiancé and I…read morehave never done a photoshoot before-- our proposal photos were taken by a stranger on top of a volcano on my iPhone lol. 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 :)

We are so happy we chose Augie as our wedding photographer - it was one of the best decisions we…read moremade for our wedding. 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!

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 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.

She was also wonderful to work with--her photography and editing skills are great and even though we never really posed for photos before, she made it easy for us. She even had the presence of mind to turn us away from family members who were coming from behind to surprise us. We received a few photos the night of the proposal to share with friends and then the rest of the photos after a quick turnaround. We were very happy with how they turned out and appreciative of Annie's great work!

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!!
