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!

You have to work with Toanven Photography because you will not regret it at all and get everything you want and more!! Toan and team are the absolute very best - worked directly with Toan, Martin, Trieu, and Michael and all very professional and super easy to get along with! We used Toanven photography for our engagement photoshoot / pre wedding , church wedding ceremony at St.Jarlath Catholic Church and civil wedding at Nella terra cellars. Also used their videography services which was also really great. When looking for a photographer , we wanted to make sure that our photographer is easy going, can help guide us and has experience with our venue. I discovered Toanven photography because my best friend used their services for her wedding and after finding out Toan had lots of experience at Nella Terra we knew we had to meet him. On our first zoom call Toan was beyond welcoming and excited which made us excited. He made us laugh, made us comfortable and answered all of our questions and broke down the whole process. Before the wedding Toan helped us better plan our timeline for photos and took his time to understand what were the "must have photos". He gave us alternatives on how we can still get pictures with others and saving time. His advice on a family shot list was super helpful as well. On wedding day Toan was just the person I needed around me with all the craziness of wedding day. His personality bring calmness and he is quick to think if a photo location doesn't work well for the lighting - he found better positioning and areas for the photos the look flawless. Beyond helpful when it came to posing, how to stand , where to look and capture all the right angles. Lastly, Depending on the package you go for, you will get a set number of edits photos and our photos were so amazing it was hard to reach the number of edits we can use. That says a lot about how the quality of the photos are and how they already shine! So reach out to Toanven photography, I promise you will love every moment!

Working with David and Annie for our proposal photos was a breeze. Even though I initially didn't…read morehave a super solid idea of where and when I wanted to do the proposal, David was very helpful in suggesting different locations for different times of the day while providing examples. His communication was clear and responsive, and he was very patient with me no matter how many emails it took! Staging the surprise was actually a lot simpler than I expected--they ask you for some basic information as to how you're planning to do it. On the day of, I was nervous if things were going to fall into place, but Annie, our photographer, shared her location with me and arrived early in just the spot I wanted. 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!

My husband and I were so fortunate to work with Annie & David for our engagement photoshoot and…read morewedding. 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!!

We wanted to find a photographer who was familiar with a venue we originally wanted for our small…read morewedding. We were able to meet with him over Zoom to go over all our questions. He was so easy going and chill to work with the entire time. When we first met with him, we planned to do a 50 person local wedding, BUT our plans changed to a 130+ person wedding nearly 2 hours away almost the day after we met with him lol. Jacob was so down for the change and was excited for what we had planned. Jacob and his partner, Jacqy did our engagement shoot and our wedding. They were phenomenal. During the engagement shoot, they made us feel so comfortable. We were so worried as we felt we weren't very photogenic. They were able to ease our nerves and made it such a fun experience! The photos turned out better than we expected. For our wedding, they were quick to get our shots and flexible with our timeline. They both kept it calm, cool and collected, which we needed. We're so happy with our experience with them. Jacob was even able to send our sneak peeks in less than 24 hours!! They were such great shots. We cannot wait to see our full gallery and relive our day all over again. If you're looking for a photographer, you've found him! Jacob is so easy to work with and you can just tell he truly loves capturing those special moments for his clients. We will definitely be hiring him again in the future if we ever need another photographer.

My husband and I were awkward in front of the camera in the beginning, but with Jacobs's calm demeanor, we were able to feel much more comfortable. Our photos turned out beautifully. We got a mix of traditional and candid photos, and he really captured the whole vibe of our wedding. We also received our photos super quickly which is an added bonus. We are so glad we went with Jacob as our photographer, and we would recommend him to anyone!

Looking for a wedding photographer?? Look no further, and just contact Anna!…read more We absolutely loved all the photos that she captured for our special day at The Gardens at Heather Farm. She was easy going and kept the photography process simple and fun. She worked with our tight schedule without any stress, even when some things didn't go according to plan (ie. people not showing up at the right spot/time). We truly appreciated how prepared and creative she was, knowing what photos to take and where to take them. And whenever there was a random group photo being taken by a cell phone, she would magically appear and take an even better photo for us. Amazing! We will definitely reach out to her if we ever need photography services again. Thank you so much, Anna!

If I could give Anna more than 5 stars I would because she deserves it!…read more We worked with Anna to do our engagement photos and for the day of our wedding. For the engagement photos, this was back in November 2023. She was already there when we arrived. Zach and I both felt so awkward and nervous since this was our first photo shoot, but Anna worked her magic and did her best to help us relax for the entire session. She's also a dog person so I was overjoyed that our dog was able to join us in these photos. After we saw the amazing engagement photos, I knew I had to secure her for our wedding day. Her response time is great as well; she will let you know when she is out of town and how long/when to expect a response from her. Our wedding was in mid-July 2024. Anna was there early again to scope out the wedding venue and checked in with both Zach and I the entire event. When I was having trouble walking in my dress, she was quick on her feet to help me. We had a long list of photos we wanted with family and she was able to organize everyone in a timely fashion. We only saw a snippet of the wedding photos, but I already know that the rest will turn out wonderfully. Anna is super friendly, approachable and such a sweet and kind person. She has a professional demeanor that is also very open, honest and fun. Working with her both times has been a wonderful experience. I highly recommend Anna for anyone that wants their special moments captured. I look forward to working with her in possible future photo shoots :) Thank you so much Anna! You are amazing!!

Working with Alina was an absolute delight from start to finish!…read more From the initial planning stages, she was incredibly communicative and made the scheduling process completely stress-free. On the day of the wedding, her presence was so calming; she has a natural talent for making you feel at ease in front of the lens, which allowed us to truly enjoy the moment. Most importantly, the photos came out absolutely stunning. She captured the essence of our day perfectly. We wholeheartedly recommend Alina to anyone looking for a professional, talented, and kind photographer!

We…read morebooked her on a whim after stumbling across her profile online, and I'm so glad we did -- because our photos were more impressive than I could have ever imagined! 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!

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!

We first met Augie though extended family referral in 2023. We've been regular clients since then,…read moreand have absolutely loved every session. 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!
