Christophe is seriously the most professional, knowledgeable, helpful and thorough photographer…read morearound! It all started when I sent a mass message request for quotes from various photographers around the Napa area. I had planned to do a surprise proposal for my now fiance and the responses I received were unhelpful and dry. Many responses were received such as "500 flat rate" or "not available". Well, Chris responded with a very thorough and inquiring message. He sent many many suggestions of places to propose at, what the area is like, what the staff is like ... man I can't name the countless details he has discussed with me. Point being, he went ABOVE AND BEYOND what nobody else would. I had a few places in mind to propose at, but these suggestions Christophe made were fantastic. I'm talking vast mountain views and intimate settings. Open vineyards as far as the eye can see where no one is around but just you and that special person. He has done us a 100/10 service in helping plan and set up the surprise engagement. Christophe is special to me in the way that he has made this whole process a comfortable and exciting one. I was very nervous throughout the whole process and due to some miscommunication, I was devastated but Chris cleared everything up for me and the other parties involved, and from there I knew he was a man with a good heart that only wants the best for his clients. In preparation of the surprise engagement, he gave very very thorough and specific details. Like, there's no way you can go wrong!! It was so comforting knowing step by step what I should do and how to help my fiance get the best shots without compromising the surprise in any way. In the end, my fiance was so happy about the whole engagement that we couldn't stop talking about Chris and the venue the whole ride back to our hotel. We seriously commend Christophe for his professionalism and attention to detail. If ever we return to the Napa area and need a photographer, we'll be hitting you up again Chris!! Thank you so much for a wonderful experience.

As I grow closer to my 40th birthday, I finally decided to give myself (and my husband) this gift. After years of sporadic searching, I finally found Christina and Elle Division. She is everything you want in a photographer, especially this kind of work. With her fun energy and the support of a BFF, I felt instant comfort and confidence right out of the gate. The moment she turned that camera around and showed me, ME...I knew that this was an experience I would never forget. Wow! Today I walked away from my photo viewing and I am SO. Proud.Of myself! I cannot wait to share these with my husband, who already sees what these images and Christina helped me see. I cannot be more happy and grateful to have found Elle Division. I would 100% do this again. Don't wait or sell yourself short! You will not regret it.

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.

We can't recommend Jennifer highly enough!

Our family traveled from Wisconsin to California to be part of my brother and his beautiful wife's…read morewedding in 2022. It was so beautiful and such an intimate wedding. Myself, my husband, and our 9 month old son were all in the wedding party. As you can imagine, I was so excited to be able to see all the pictures that were taken. After all, it's not like we were able to take pictures during the ceremony or during all those special moments. People even say it's rude to take pictures during weddings, that's why you pay sooo much money for a photographer, right?! Well, after returning home, we learned the heartbreaking news that Amanda did not back up any of the photos on her computer after deleting them from her camera, her computer crashed, and you can guess what happened....ALL of the photos were GONE!! Who doesn't back up their work?! These are irreplaceable moments. This is so inexcusable and downright terrible business practices. But you want to know the cherry on the top of it all?! She refuses to give my brother and his wife their money back!!! She even had the gall to tell them that she'd only give them their money back if they would take down their review!!! We've bitten our tongues for a long enough. Save your money and do not trust this irresponsible photographer with your most precious moments. I understand things happen, but she has not handled this in any sort of professional way. This is honestly the most absurd thing that I have ever heard of and your actions for not backing up your work and how you've handled everything since have been egregious!!! They have been more than patient for the last two years, trying to recover photos and figure out a way to get this rectified and have not received anywhere close to an acceptable resolution. You would get zero stars if I was allowed. And I will post this all over again if I have to. Do not trust Amanda Marie Photography!!

Aileen was recommended by my sister-in-law, who had her family and newborn photos done by Aileen…read more Once I saw the photos, and a few other examples of her work, I knew I had to book her ASAP for our maternity photos. We went to Napa for a little Baby Moon and were able to book Aileen for a sunset maternity photoshoot that same weekend. She was so easy to work with, great communication, and even had recommendations for outfits and locations. She even recommended that I create a Pinterest board to share with her to make sure she could capture what we were looking for in the photoshoot. The 60 min photoshoot flew by, and my husband and I had a wonderful time with her. Highly recommend Aileen for your upcoming family, baby, and/or maternity photoshoots. Can't wait to book her again!

Our usual photographer (7SistersPhotography) moved out of state, and I wanted to keep the same style that we have been doing since birth. Aileen captured exactly what I was aiming for! I tend to get a bit over-involved in planning photo shoots (like a notepad... from outfits (including outfit changes) & accessories, to props & decorative items, and anything in between). I'm sure some photographers would be annoyed by this behavior, haha, but not Aileen. She was very open to ideas & even encouraged participation in this capacity. She was friendly & sweet from our first conversation, and during the shoot, she was super patient with baby, despite his stinky attitude lol. It happened to be a little chilly outside (evening shoot), and baby started getting cold; so she totally adapted to our need-for-speed, and purposefully, expertly, & efficiently got the best shots in order to finish up quickly. I was first drawn to her policy regarding ownership & release of her client's images, which shows (1) true character, (2) a genuine love of her job (not just a way to nickle-n-dime people to death, haha), and (3) great confidence in her abilities to generate repeat business & lifelong clients (as opposed to racking up as many unnecessary charges as possible to pad the one-time tab)! I loved working with her, and will do so again for our next photography milestone. The images we received (in an oh so timely manner) were sooooo darn cute!! PERIOD. DOT.

She made us feel very comfortable the whole time. After the session, I received a few sneak peeks of our shoot the next day maybe because I bugged her a little bit (haha) but she was very responsive. I loved the photos so much that I could not stop looking at them (*happy cry* - hahaha). We shared the sneak peeks to our loved ones, and they loved them too! I would TOTALLY recommend her!
