On a day that can feel a little overwhelming, she somehow managed to keep everything fun, relaxed, and running smoothly. Not only is she incredibly talented, but she also has an amazing eye for capturing those genuine, candid moments that make the day so special. She didn't just take photos--she told the story of our wedding in the most beautiful, authentic way. Looking through our pictures feels like reliving the entire day all over again. She was also so easy to work with--responsive, organized, and genuinely invested in making sure everything turned out exactly how we hoped. Our family and friends even commented on how great she was to be around! If you're looking for someone who is professional, creative, and brings the best energy to your big day, I truly cannot recommend her enough. We're so grateful we chose her!

We feel so incredibly lucky to have had Amanda Wei as our wedding photographer. Our wedding was…read morethrown together in just two weeks, and somehow everything aligned so that my first-choice photographer was available. The moment I met Amanda, it was a complete no-brainer. I just knew she was the one. Because our timeline came together so quickly, we didn't have a ton of structure going into the day--but whether she realized it or not, Amanda gave us that structure. From our initial meeting to sitting down with us again the week of the wedding to connect as a couple and walk through the timeline, she was intentional and thoughtful. I loved that she wanted to truly get a feel for us--our love story, our hopes, our dreams--not just the logistics of the day. It made everything feel so personal. On the wedding day, she was kind, personable, and carried such a light, calming spirit. She was incredibly efficient, and we felt like we made the absolute most of our time with her. She gave clear direction while still making us feel natural and comfortable, making sure we looked and felt our best. Even our friend who officiated (and has been to countless weddings) said she was hands down the best wedding photographer he's ever seen. Amanda took advantage of every photo opportunity possible, maximizing the city landscape in such a beautiful way. She even handled intense wind like a total pro! And the sneak peek she sent us afterward? Absolutely stunning. We were blown away. If you're looking for someone talented, organized, warm, and deeply invested in telling your story well, Amanda is it. We couldn't be more grateful.

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!

Mirthica was fantastic, not only for her beautiful work but her empathy and patience. I reached out…read moreto her a few days before labor day weekend explaining the situation with our dog who was diagnosed with terminal cancer. The doctor had told us that he had a few weeks to live. Being a COVID-2020 bride, we had rescheduled our wedding 3x, the last 2x in hopes of Chewie making the wedding. Needless to say, I was in shambles and when I reached out to Mirthica, I half expected her to tell me it was too last minute. Fortunately, she not only listened to our story with empathy and sharing her own story, she also made the whole process super easy and fun. She was communicative the entire time up until the shoot. She had given me her advice on the outfits that both Chewie and I were picking out. She worked with me to change the times (since it was the heatwave and there's no way we coulda survived taken pics in the afternoon). During the shoot, she taught us how to pose, was gentle with Chewie, was very patient, was super fun/easy to get along with, and did everything in her power to get us the best pics (we broke a few rules here and there lol). After the shoot, she sent me a couple of sneak peeks which was so nice! I just got my pics back this afternoon and we are literally gushing over them with our families. Her pictures were beautifully edited (in the bright california haze style that we love) and it's exactly what we wanted (which is that our baby Chewie is the star!)

She truly came to the rescue. Not only did she respond quickly, but she was able to fit us into her schedule within just a few days. From the moment she arrived, she was professional, calm, and incredibly patient with our newborn. She handled our son with such care and made the entire experience feel relaxed and enjoyable during what can be a very overwhelming time for new parents. The photos turned out absolutely stunning -- more beautiful than we could have imagined. She captured the sweetest little details and moments that we will treasure forever. Her talent, kindness, and willingness to step in last-minute meant so much to our family. If you're looking for someone reliable, compassionate, and exceptionally talented, look no further. We are beyond grateful for her and would book her again in a heartbeat!

Really liking her style of photography, we scheduled a newborn photo session with Constance at the end of November with our two week old son. Constance was incredibly responsive and professional. Not only that, she is a baby photo whisperer - she had a bunch of helpful suggestions to help our time together go smoothly. She brought a whole bag of adorable outfits and props, and she was happy to let us choose some of our own outfits, too. For this session we decided to stay home and take photos around our house and yard, and they turned out beautifully. We are so pleased with these special keepsakes! Constance also made it easy to review the raw photo collection after the shoot, choose the ones we wanted, and deliver the final files all online. She also offers large size prints! In the future I'd love to do an on-location shoot with our son in the redwoods of Oakland. I already have ideas :) Thank you, Constance!

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!

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!
