She knew all the best photo spots in the building and wasted no time getting us into position for a huge variety of shots. She was super efficient and made the whole process feel fun and relaxed, even while working quickly to capture as much as possible. Her team was also incredibly professional and responsive leading up to the big day. Communication was smooth, and they made sure we felt totally prepared. All of the vendors she recommended-- our hair & makeup artist, our harpist, even the officiant--were fantastic and really added to how seamless and special everything felt. The final photos came out absolutely beautiful. Every shot felt warm, natural, and totally us. She really has an eye for detail and made everything look magical without feeling overly edited. We seriously couldn't stop smiling going through the gallery! She also made my bouquet, which was stunning and photographed so well. The only bummer was that it wilted pretty quickly after the day--it would've been nice if the flowers were a little fresher. But honestly, everything else was amazing and we're so happy we chose her!

We hired Emily for our engagement photos and our SF City Hall wedding, and she was amazing. She…read moreknows City Hall so well and made everything feel easy and stress-free. She guided poses naturally, calmed our nerves, helped manage timing/logistics for our one-hour ceremony, and somehow got all the shots we wanted without ever making us feel rushed. She even helped hold my things and kept everything moving smoothly. The photos turned out beautiful. We especially loved the family photos and the romantic shots that captured the architecture perfectly. Her style feels classic and timeless. Doing engagement photos with her beforehand helped us feel so comfortable in front of the camera, and I highly recommend that. If you're getting married at City Hall, Emily is the photographer to hire!

Nicole was absolutely incredible to work with, and I couldn't recommend her more. She went above…read moreand beyond by scouting the location ahead of time and driving over two hours to photograph our sunrise proposal. Her thoughtfulness and preparation made the entire experience feel seamless. Neither of us had any idea how to pose, but Nicole was an amazing director and guided us through everything so naturally that we felt comfortable from the start. She made what could have been a stressful moment feel effortless and fun. Most importantly, she beautifully captured one of the most special moments of our lives. We'll treasure these photos forever. Thank you, Nicole, for giving us memories we'll cherish for the rest of our lives!

My partner and I had never had professional photos taken before, but Nicole was able to ease our nerves and made it such a fun and seamless experience! Since our initial conversations while we were in contact with other potential photographers, Nicole stood out by how approachable and personal she was, while also being very professional. From start to finish, she clearly communicated all expectations and preparation needed to ensure the session went smoothly. Highly recommend Nicole for all photography sessions and look forward to work with her again in the future!

We cannot say enough great things about working with Prasanna. We planned the elopement in less…read morethan a month and she was willing to work with us on a very condensed timeline. She was personable and kind and met with us virtually prior to the ceremony to walk us through specifics, which was so appreciated. During our planning calls, Prasanna was very prepared and flexible, ensuring we fit in as many shoot locations following the ceremony as possible. She was even kind enough to film the ceremony portion for our moms that couldn't be there. We spent the whole day and into the evening together, and it truly felt like having a friend along for the day! She made us feel so comfortable and took extra special care of me to ensure I was able to get to each location safely (I was 14 weeks pregnant). And above all, the pictures absolutely blew us away. Each location was shot so beautifully and captured both us and the city of San Francisco that is so meaningful to us and our journey. Our friends said we look like we're in a vogue photoshoot! Prasanna's creative direction shined - from the shots in the forest with the lighting on my dress to the shots at the top of California St with cars whirring by to the most epic shot of all on the cable car (with mere seconds to jump on and get the shot!) It's so hard to pick a favorite! My husband was most excited about the shots at the beach at sunset. Prasanna brought lanterns as the sun was setting and it really does look like a scene from a movie! Just wow. Lastly, she got us our sneak peek shots and ceremony video within two days of the wedding! That's unheard of! Even with all of the extras she provided (video, quick editing turnaround), her prices are very fair and reasonable for the high quality work she provides. We couldn't recommend Prasanna enough and plan on hiring her again in the future! A million thanks from us for capturing the day so beautifully.

It's great to have someone who truly captures the spirit of the day. Every time we look back at the photographs they bring back so many great memories. Jessica was tireless at the wedding and seemed to be everywhere at once, capturing every moment. Not only that, but she snapped photographs of almost all the guests a at the wedding for us as well. Besides the photographs, she was also a ton of fun to hang out with as well. Thanks Jessica for your hard work and beautiful photographs!!!

We also wanted pictures that would really reflect the spirit of the day and capture everyone's experience, not just that of the bride and groom and Jessia really understood, and did, just that.

My wife and I got engaged in January 2022 and we were married just six months later. Our engagement…read morewas short-lived by design: sometimes you're just excited about the future and want it sooner than later. This included purchasing our first home together and hopefully starting a family soon after. This also meant that we would need to save where we can, that perhaps a traditional wedding may be out of reach. We began challenging ourselves to identify what's most important to us as we thought through every layer of a wedding ceremony and reception dinner. From here we realized that honoring our past was most dear to us. We met in San Francisco just a few months before the pandemic and moved in together when the shelter-in-place order was first announced and inevitably extended. We would take long walks in Golden Gate Park during those weeks that would become months before becoming years. I had never noticed how beautiful the park was until then. Maybe the side effects of all this led to us slowing down our lives to better appreciate what we have in front of us. We found a little nook in the park during one of these walks and knew that this spot felt right to us. The reason I am describing so much about our process is because we didn't realize how critical this was in finding the right photographer for our wedding. Naively, we thought that selecting a photographer was as easy as browsing through their catalog and deciding if their "skill" matched our "expectation". Yet there is so much more to it than that. Photographers are creators and creators feel most energized when inspired. We met with a number of photographers before meeting Angela ("Angie") Jazmin. They were all nice and their work looked good enough, but it didn't feel "right" after our initial interviews with them. Then we met Angie. Her energy, her passion for photography, her presence, and her curiosity - all of this together made us certain she was the right person to chronicle our wedding. She was genuinely interested in all the details of how we met, what we were looking for, and how we aimed to honor our past. We could tell that she loved our story and because of that, we knew that we could trust her. We immediately thought of her as a friend, rather than just a vendor. Photographs are glimpses of the past, and when done right, they can transport you to a time in which your mind can't journey alone. We wanted to honor where we first met - my wife's old apartment - for our engagement pictures, then honor where our romance bloomed in the Outer Sunset for our wedding pictures. Angie immortalized those moments for us by not only shooting the most incredible photographs, but also doing so on 35mm film and then capturing our entire day on a retro super8 motion film. It seems that she, too, enjoys honoring the past. This is a long-winded review but it felt necessary. It's so hard to put into words how appreciative we feel towards Angie in how she captured such delicate moments for us that we will have forever. Though we had a lighter budget for our wedding, we knew that hiring the right photographer was more important than saving a few dollars. Angie has given us a collection of photographs that are more than just beautiful images. They conjure so much joy in us and we are eternally grateful for this. Thank you for everything, Angie!

This review is long delayed as our wedding was in October 2025 and engagement photos in April 2025…read morebut looking back at the pictures captured by Vivian brings back so much good memories! Viv was immediately our first choice because she has an incredible portfolio of photographing in redwoods and nature which is sometimes very difficult to photograph with the different lighting. We are a bit awkward but from the get go, she was easy to talk to and was also organized. Our wedding was on the casual side so we did not have a planner but Viv was on top of everything and even though we had a day of coordinator, Viv was the one coordinating when it was her time and took lead which was much needed to wrangle everyone. The wedding was a tiny bit chaotic, running behind and rather short but Viv did a fantastic job capturing candid moments and making sure to pull us away for portrait photos away from everyone else before the wedding ended. She was professional and there wasn't a moment where I thought she was distracted. Her work speaks for itself but I really love that she shoots in multiple formats and captures the light and nature around the subjects so clearly and naturally. I often wish our wedding was slightly longer or not running behind because that would have given Viv even more time to take amazing pictures! We really enjoyed having Viv as our photography and thankful for the memories she has captured for us.

We were given curated referrals for a photographer from both the venue, Mister Jiu's, and our wedding planner, and something about Vivian's photos struck us as both intimate and purposeful, naturally capturing the best moments in her subjects and the moment. Vivian has a terrific eye for capturing everything from the planned and choreographed to the spontaneous. Many of our photos were taken at the venue and the surrounding area of San Francisco's Chinatown before and during our dinner celebration. We were always in good hands, experimenting with different poses, cameras, and film to achieve a varied look, which, upon reflection, my wife and I were so glad Vivian took the time to do everything she did. We also appreciated her ability to switch gears from serious to witty, perfectly capturing every moment our surroundings or guests placed us in. And importantly, Vivian captured every important moment, framing our loved ones and us perfectly, even when we didn't know she was doing so. Vivian always made us feel welcomed, was always kind, and appreciated the love and joy perfectly captured in our photos that day. Thank you, Vivian, for being there with us on our special day!

She was so easy to contact and have video calls with. She really listened about what we liked, were comfortable with, and what we were wanting. She really is a super star! She quickly and respectfully got large families and groups in place to get our images before the ceremony. This allowed us to have some private time taking photos during our cocktail hour, with time for us to enjoy our cocktail hour! During the ceremony she was very respectful and mindful of the guests. She captured the shots without being a distraction or blocking views from guests. Throughout the night she captured incredible shots! I've been to a number of weddings where the photographer has a camera in front of all the guests' faces. This is not Vee. She is discreet on the side taking photos, so everyone is comfortable, and the photos came out to perfection! We received so many compliments! I would book with Vee all over again, without question! She is so talented and has such a great eye for photography!
