During the shoot itself, he was professional, and did a great job helping me to relax since I had no idea what I was doing and was a little bit nervous having my picture taken.

Planning a wedding is never easy. I took up the challenge of planning it myself, which was a lot of…read morefun but also overwhelming at times. When it came time to decide on photos, I freaked. I had no idea what I wanted to do. I thankfully avoided trying to figure this piece out and instead, my fiance and I had a coffee chat with Tara. Full disclosure, I did know Tara before we asked her to be our photographer but that, if anything, made it even easier to work with her. Tara was amazing at getting to know us as a couple, asking thoughtful questions to help understand what we wanted to capture at our wedding. On the day of, knowing I had a friend behind the lense smiling and laughing with me put me at ease. In the end, it's thanks to Tara that we have amazing photos to remember our wedding day!

Kate is incredible! Due to the pandemic & multiple postponements, the photographer we initially…read morebooked with had a scheduling conflict for our wedding. Kate was referred to us by another photographer & we are soo lucky we ended up with her! Stylistically, she is big on candids which was really important to us. (We're not exactly great with staging & posing for pictures.) Kate took wonderful pictures throughout the wedding & we felt very comfortable with her. Often times, photographers can make things feel forced, but that didn't happen with Kate. Highly recommend for all your photography needs! Now that we've worked with her, we definitely will use her again for any future events!

Flee did an amazing job with out wedding photos this past May. Due to the pandemic, we had to make…read morequite a few changes to the wedding (i.e., delaying the wedding, changing the venue after our venue shut down, and streamlining the schedule), but Flee was very understanding and flexible. She was able to accommodate requests that we made for COVID safety reasons, and we were able to communicate effectively in the run-up to the wedding even though we were not able to meet in person. On the day of, Flee was a warm and wonderful presence. She was so helpful in figuring out where to set up our first look and family photos, and was so efficient in getting all the photos we wanted done. I have not really ever done posed photos like this, but Flee made my husband and I feel comfortable and nothing ever felt awkward or forced. Everything felt natural and we had so much fun throughout the day. Flee was also very careful given the COVID precautions, and we always felt safe. And the photos! Photography was one of my main priorities for the wedding, and Flee's photos were so lovely. They really make us smile when we go through them, whether it is the posed photos or the smallest details. She also got some amazing pictures of our beloved doggy, which made us so happy. The photographs really are beautiful. I cannot recommend Flee enough! She was truly great and easy to work with, especially during such a stressful time (wedding multiplied by Covid!). I know I am going to have so much joy looking at the photos she took in the years to come.

We love Melissa so much! She was our wedding photographer less than a month ago and took our…read moreengagement photos before that. She seriously is the best. My husband Josh is a photographer too and he was ultra picky during our search, but once we saw Melissa's portfolio online, we knew she was the one. We were immediately drawn to her style. Prior to our wedding, we had an awesome engagement session with her around our favorite spots in San Francisco. She was super warm and made us feel so at ease. She was super communicative leading up to our wedding, too - making sure we had all our priority shots down. Her beautiful, quiet energy was also such a blessing on our wedding day! I was a pretty nervous bride but she is such a calming force and so easy to be around. We took some of the standard family and portrait shots because we wanted those, but she also captured really neat scenes in between - she's a master at finding and capturing those fleeting moments that might get lost in the blur of the day. We cried just looking at our sneak peeks, so we know the full gallery is going to be awesome. Melissa is the greatest! We can't wait to work with her again and we highly recommend her for anyone looking for a magical wedding or life photographer.

While this review is long overdue the moments and the emotions that she captures speak volumes long after she snaps the shutter. Melissa is genuinely there to capture the story of your life, your moment. An observer with a camera, a documentarian articling your piece of history and a force to be reckoned with on the dance floor. Melissa dives in whole heartedly and feels like a fast friend. She becomes a part of your story. She becomes someone you plan to invite to all of your big occasions and you may even make up excuses for her to just stop by. Of all the vendors we hired for our wedding the most important for us was our photographer and with Melissa there was no comparison. She became the best and easiest vendor we dealt with. If I could hire her tomorrow, I would!

My husband and I were very lucky to have Stephen photograph our wedding at the UC Berkeley Botanical Garden. We interviewed several photographers and decided to hire Stephen because we felt most at ease talking to him. Some of the best advice we received while planning our wedding was "hire vendors you genuinely like." We genuinely liked having Stephen present on our special day; he was attentive, friendly, and somehow relaxed and present while capturing the seemingly endless flow of beautiful moments. We LOVE Stephen's emphasis on candid shots; he caught countless incredible moments on film where you can easily see the immensity, joy, and love of the day. Our posed photos also turned out really well, which I attribute to Stephen's efficiency (posing for too long = stiff photos!) and excitement for catching shots throughout the gardens (movement and new locations make for more fresh expressions!). Stephen's prices were very reasonable and he was always quick to respond to our emails and calls. He sent us a preview of our photos shortly after the wedding and we received the full set within a month of the wedding. Several loved ones have commented on how great the photos turned out and how impressed they were at how Stephen got seemingly everywhere yet didn't distract from the festivities in any way.

I am completely happy with the preview photos we got a few weeks after our wedding. I can't wait for the final installment.

Not only did the photos come out great, but they were professional and efficient with posed photos. That ended up being really important to us because it was extremely hot out (103!), so it was great to get through the photos quickly and get everyone back into the shade! Due to some unforeseen complications with our venue, we had to change both the venue and the schedule slightly, relatively late into the planning process. E&B were extremely helpful in figuring out how we could still get all the time for photos we needed, even proactively looking around for an air-conditioned space we could use to take pictures before the ceremony itself. I'd wholeheartedly recommend them for wedding photos, they were able to take charge when needed for posed photos to make sure we got some excellent shots, but other than that we wouldn't even have known they were there! Chris was great to communicate with, and Christian and Ella did such a great job with the photography day-of! They were all a joy to work with and I would highly recommend e&b photography.
