    Tyler was an amazing photographer for my wedding! My husband and I are not naturals at pictures or posing, but you wouldn't have been able to tell from our wedding pictures. He helped us pose, look, and feel super natural. His Vietnamese came in super handy when helping with photographing my family as well! Tyler and his team were everything and more than we couldn't asked for. It's clear that Tyler has a great eye for details, lighting, and genuine human connection in his shots. He was super easy to work with when it came to planning and setting the timeline for photographs. He was super efficient day-of. The final photos truly speak for themselves. I wouldn't have trusted anyone else with one of the biggest days of my life. Thank you, Tyler!

    From the moment my wife and I met Tyler, we knew we were in good hands. Photography was a top priority for us during our engagement and wedding, and Tyler exceeded every expectation we had. His professionalism, creativity, and genuine passion for photography shine through in every moment he captures. Neither my wife nor I consider ourselves particularly photogenic, but Tyler is truly an artist. He has an incredible ability to make you feel at ease and bring out your natural beauty in every shot. Our engagement photos turned out stunning--full of life, love, and personality. When we saw the results, we knew the wedding photos would be just as perfect, and they absolutely were. Wedding planning can be a stressful experience, but Tyler made the photography process one of the most enjoyable parts of the entire journey. On the big day, his calm demeanor and positive energy put us and our entire wedding party at ease. He made the experience fun, stress-free, and, most importantly, memorable. Tyler's artistic vision is unmatched. He has an incredible eye for detail and came prepared with creative ideas for poses and photography styles that we never would have thought of. Yet, he also took the time to listen to us and understand exactly what we wanted from our photos. He made our vision come to life in ways we couldn't have imagined. What sets Tyler apart is his dedication to his craft. He goes above and beyond in every way. You can see his passion in every shot he takes--his work is not just photography; it's art. Every photo tells a story, and Tyler captures those once-in-a-lifetime moments in a way that allows you to relive them again and again. The final photos blew us away. From the heartfelt candid moments to the beautifully composed portraits, every image is a masterpiece. The lighting, angles, and emotions he captured are simply perfect. Tyler's ability to document not just the events of the day but also the emotions and connections we shared is truly remarkable. We are so grateful for the incredible memories Tyler and his team created for us. He pours his heart and soul into his work, and the results speak for themselves. Looking through our photos, we feel like we're reliving the best day of our lives, and we can't thank him enough for that gift. We look forward to working with Tyler again in the future, whether for family photos or other special occasions. We will also wholeheartedly recommend him to all our friends and family who need a photographer. If you're looking for someone who will go above and beyond to capture your most cherished moments, look no further than Tyler. He is an absolute gem, and we are so lucky to have found him. Thank you, Tyler, for your exceptional work and for being such a joy to work with. You have truly given us memories that will last a lifetime!

    When my husband and I first met Tyler, we knew instantly we were going to choose him to be our wedding and engagement photographer. Little did we know, he was also a fellow Saints fan (WHO DAT!?), so we all clicked right away. Tyler captures not just beautiful and professional photos, but captures all the fun, raw, vivid emotions and feelings that transgress through each photo he takes. His photography captures a story and not just any story but me and my husband's story. He always made sure to ask detailed questions as to what we wanted, what was our vision and he went above and beyond to do just that. At the same time, Tyler is super nice, kind, funny and professional. He always kept in communication with us throughout the entire process and always made us feel so special. His work truly captivates his couples at the center. He is amazing at what he does and made my husband and I feel really comfortable in front of the camera (as we can get a little shy at times). At one point you forget your being photographed because of how comfortable you feel and it's evident in the authenticity and realness that you see in each photo. That I believe is what it should all be about. Being in the moment with your partner, laughing, having fun, and being yourself. That is what you'll get in your photographs with Tyler. Literally every photo or video he took was absolutely beautiful and breathtaking. He made me feel confident about myself than I've ever had before. He always loves to incorporate our guests in the photo giving them their little moments as well, so he truly captures everyone and it brings so much more fun and realness to the entire experience once again evident in his photos. Lastly, Tyler and his team are all so amazing and so fun to work with. Big shout out to Liss!! He's awesome too. They are all truly the best and made our wedding day that much more memorable, not just because of the amazing talent and photos they take, they make you feel like family and with family it's always a party. Since my husband and I are not from the Bay Area, working with Tyler has made the Bay Area feel like a second home. This will definitely not be the last time that we work with him. With that being said, if you're looking for a wedding photographer, Tyler Vu is the best of the best and you definitely will not be disappointed. We love you Tyler! WHO DAT BABY!

    I'm so glad I came across Tyler's Photography page when researching 'best wedding photographers in the Bay'. Choosing your wedding photographer is always a nerve-wrecking experience, since you're most likely working with them the 1st time, and it's hard to imagine how your photos will turn out to be. Tyler has a strong vision on how he likes every shot based on experience, and he makes a strong effort in guiding your poses and directing the flow of the photography session. To the average non-photographer like us, these tips on how to pose correctly made a world of difference on how well the shots turned out. Our wedding day was a full chaotic day like most weddings and Tyler pulled through like a professional. Of all our wedding vendors, Tyler's photography received the most compliments from our friends and family. All in all, we were VERY pleased with choosing Tyler as our photographer and we would highly recommend him.

    We hired Tyler Vu Photography for our wedding in San Francisco. Overall, we were really pleased. The photos we got of our wedding are high quality and numerous, contributing to our happy memories of the event. Given the quality, we consider Tyler Vu's services a very good value. In planning for our wedding, our priorities for the photos were to get high-quality portraits of us with family, as well as candids of guests during the reception. Reviewing Tyler's portfolio, we saw that he does a good job capturing candids at the event. After we reached out, Tyler offered a free consultation by FaceTime to understand our needs. He was really aligned with our desires for the wedding. He also had some good ideas for photo shoots right off the bat. Because he is very familiar with our venue, he suggested sneaking out during the reception dinner for sunset photos on nearby city streets. He also knew perfect locations in and around our venue for family portraits and "first look" photos. On our wedding day, Tyler and his second photographer were great to work with. Their communication was very clear as they escorted us to the correct locations and gave us directions to pose nicely for the photos. For the brief "golden hour" photo shoot as we slipped out of our reception dinner, Tyler had the great idea to shoot in nearby Chinatown. The photographers found some beautiful scenery there, forming a great backdrop for some of our first photos as husband and wife. Tyler Vu Photography processed our wedding photos in a timely manner. They shared the entire collection of photos less than 2 months after our wedding, including a high quality digital archive. We found that the photos captured a great variety of candid moments throughout our ceremony and reception. The portraits of our wedding party and group photos with family and guests all came out great. Overall, the collection of photos show that Tyler and his team have great skill at photography. They have an artistic eye for shot composition in an urban environment. Despite the dark environment on our dance floor, they captured some wonderful candids of us dancing, which both show the subjects clearly and also capture the motion and energy of those moments. Given the great quality of the photos, extensive coverage during the event, and professional handling and personal interaction with us on the day, we are extremely satisfied with the services from Tyler Vu Photography. We believe these services are a really good value and would recommend them for any Bay Area wedding.

    Tyler and his team is the ONLY choice you should make for your professional photography needs! He has shot my engagement and wedding photos, and will be the only person I'm trusting for my future family photos! I was first introduced to Tyler at two of my girlfriends' (Tina & Christina - reviews also below) weddings. During their weddings I was able to see first hand how professionally Tyler and his team worked with the couple, bridal party, extended family, and guests. It was refreshing to see him and his team incorporate wedding guests to get wedding candids and action shots of the day. Once my friends got their photos back, I was WOW'ed by Tyler's work and the raw emotion and glamour the photos were able to capture! Fast forward to getting engaged April 2023. I knew I needed to book Tyler as our wedding photographer. During our consultation and introduction call, before even walking through services and pricing, Tyler wanted to get to know my fiance and I - both as a couple and individually so he could better understand what style of photography fit our wedding and vibes so it would actually last a life time. During this call we also discussed services and pricing; and even ended up booking Tyler for our engagement shoot. He was super speedy, organized and communicative about next steps, our contract, answering all my questions, and even making sure we felt comfortable with all the details of our partnership. For our engagement shoot, we shot at: SF City Hall, Around City Hall Area, and Forte Point. During the shoot, I was extremely nervous and admittedly very stiff and I have to give Tyler all the props for really getting to know my fiance and I to ensure we felt comfortable! He was able to adjust to our quirks, such as my fiance needing lots of breaks and I needing to laugh at something to be less stiff! Tyler was also able to help pose me and my fiance so we had both formal and more casual photos without looking awkward. I will also note, since we took our engagement photos in December, Tyler knew the best time to meet, change locations, and had us on a strict schedule so we would catch the best possible lighting during the limited daylight hours! Pre-wedding day, Tyler met with us one last time to formally introduce our wedding vendor team, as well as our day-of-coordinator. He also worked with us on a shot list so we can maximize the photos for our wedding day and we wouldn't miss any photos with family, special guests, or any specific action shots. For me, I wanted Tyler and his team to capture the emotion and fun of the day. Specifically catching all the moments we would accidentally miss during an Asian Banquet. As an added bonus, Tyler has previously shot the hotel we were staying and getting ready at so he even told us how to reconfigure the room to get our shoot started ASAP. On our wedding day, Tyler and his team shot for 13-hours straight! I was truly impressed with their stamina and ability to keep up with the wedding activities during the day. We began with our getting ready photos, where he did layout photos with our invitations, personal items, etc. He even snuck away to take dress photos so we had those to keep as well. During the ceremony, he was able to help manage and pose our families so we could get the best full family photo we could have! At our reception, Tyler and his team got all the details of our decor, including photos of our vendors' services, late night bites, and when folks got on the dance floor. I am amazed at how he was all over the room without us even knowing!! Our families and friends are amazed and in awe of the energy, love and spirit Tyler was able to capture from the day. It truly as if we could relive our wedding day through the photos. I cannot wait to book Tyler for our future maternity and family photos!!! Tyler - thank you so much for being such an amazing partner in our wedding journey. Matt and I feel like we have made a lifelong friend and can't wait until you get to capture the next chapters of our lives.

    Getting ready shots

    We had an amazing experience working with Tyler Vu for our wedding photography! He photographed our October wedding in downtown San Jose, and we're so happy with the results. From the beginning, he made us feel completely at ease--especially my husband, who usually isn't comfortable in front of the camera. Tyler gives great direction without making anything feel stiff or overly posed, which made the whole process feel natural and fun. One of the things we really appreciated was how smoothly he handled our big family photos. Since some of our family members speak Vietnamese, it was a huge plus that Tyler could communicate with them directly. It made the group photos much more efficient and stress-free, and everyone felt included in the process. Tyler also knows San Jose really well, and he took us to some incredible photo locations around downtown that we wouldn't have thought of ourselves. Each spot had its own unique charm, and his eye for lighting and composition made all the difference. When we got our final photos, we were blown away. He captured not just the major moments but also the little in-between ones that really tell the story of the day. The quality and attention to detail were beyond what we expected. If you're looking for a wedding photographer who's talented, professional, and just really great to work with, we highly recommend Tyler!

    From the very beginning, Tyler was so great to work with. He responds very quickly and was always available to discuss anything we had in mind for our engagement and wedding photos. Tyler's photo style is very natural and candid and that was something that I really wanted. My husband and I are very, very camera shy and he really went above and beyond to make my husband and me comfortable in front of the camera. We took both our engagement photos and our wedding photos with Tyler and all the photos turned out so beautiful. My husband and I aren't exactly fashionistas, so we weren't sure what to wear for our engagement shoot, and Tyler spent such a long time helping us go over different style ideas and different clothing color options. For our wedding, we originally went with 9 hours to cover our tea ceremony and most of the wedding, but we realized we would need more time for our tea ceremony and Tyler was able to add on an extra 2 hours last minute, making it a total of 11 hours! Amazing! Tyler also had 2 assistants and they were also so kind and friendly. Tyler likes to do a lot of candid photos and likes to let the couple be natural with their poses, but my husband and I are very awkward in front of the camera and Tyler was able to pick up on this and helped us with how to stand and where to look. For our family photos at our wedding, we did a photo with my entire family (grandparents, cousins, uncles, aunts) and my husband's (both his mom and dad's side) all in photo. This is well over 60 people and we weren't sure how the photo would turn out, especially since this was almost at sunset, it was getting dark, and there were a lot of people... but the photo was perfect! I can't wait to develop this family photo to put up to show both of our families all in one photo together. Lastly, another thing that stood out to me was how closely Tyler pays attention to detail. During our family photos, he was constantly reminding our family to button their suits, remove their watches, put their hands in their pocket, stare at his camera only (not the other family members trying to take pictures behind him), etc etc. I can only imagine how disappointed I would have been if all these details were missed, but thankfully I get to have these beautiful photos that I can constantly look at to remind myself of this wonderful day and the family and friends we got to celebrate with. I look forward to working with Tyler again in the future!

    Working with Tyler was very easy and simple. We were recommended Tyler and his photography services by our wedding coordinator, Sushie of Ménage A Trois. The whole process from inquiry to contract to our wedding day was very clear and straightforward. He was more than accommodating and was helpful in every part of our chaotic day. Tyler is the type of photographer that really values getting every single detail right for your special day or occasion. I'm very impressed with the way we worked and was worried that my nonchalant attitude towards the day would've been stressful, but he took everything in strides. His assistants were also very helpful and made our lives very easy. I'm not the type of person that enjoys being in front of a camera, but I must say that the photos turned out very well and it was amazing to see how much work Tyler and his team put in for the final results. Beautiful photos and the attention to detail was impressive. I never felt as though I was always in the spotlight, but the photos definitely showed a different side of everyone and that's the beauty in photography. If anyone needs a photographer recommendation, I would advise them to check out Tyler and all of his work, it's something more than just photography, it shows emotional moments captured in time.

    When I first started planning my wedding, the first thing I wanted to book (after the venue) was the photographer. I knew if I didn't get my first choice with MUA, florist, etc. I could always go with my 2nd or 3rd choice, but the photographer had to be Tyler. I had never worked with him before my wedding, but I wanted someone who was experienced/familiar with Vietnamese weddings and he was highly recommended. I trusted him and this was so important because we didn't hire a videographer (still no regrets here) so it really was up to Tyler to capture our special day, no pressure lol. Now, if I'm being honest, the pictures took longer than I thought it would. I have some friends whose wedding pictures took only 1-3 months, while mine was a bit longer than that. Tyler gave me a timeframe of when he'd be done, which he followed through, but I was bummed out because I thought the excitement would be gone by the time I received my pictures. Well, I was wrong. I finally got my pictures today and the excitement all came back! The pictures came out great and you know what, I'm ok if he takes another month because that's how much I love the results and I can see how much work he puts into making us look good and our pictures look perfect. He does quality work and I can see that now when I look back at my friends' pictures. Also, my mom loves our pictures and that says a lot coming from someone who criticizes everything haha. He is so easy to work with and gives really good direction, especially with the hands. I never know what to do with my hands or where to look but he directed us with every little thing. From fixing my hair, to fluffing out my dress, to moving my bouquet a bit lower. These are things that I really appreciate because I would be the one to catch these things (as a bridesmaid) with other wedding photographers. Not with Tyler though-- he is very, very detailed. Not only that, but when he edits your pictures, it still looks natural and not heavily edited. For our reception, Tyler got a lot of good pictures of our families and friends on the dance floor. I can't wait to share the pictures with them! There are also several unexpected pictures that Tyler captured of my parents dancing that I will cherish forever. That alone is enough for me. If you're debating between photographers or have the least bit of hesitation, don't. Go with Tyler.

    I heard of Tyler through my day of coordinator. We hired him as our photographer for our wedding. He was easy and fun to work with. His work is really great! He took more photos than we requested. He had ideas that made our photos look unique. Our photos turned out well! Thank you Tyler!

    Tyler, his second-shooters and assistants were all a wonderful team to work with. They worked with us early on to understand our preferences and what we expected. I think this was key for the photo crew to stay responsive to the dynamics of the wedding day without having to pressure us on the day (And we certainly had schedule changes and weather conditions that it paid to be adaptable to). They also knew our wedding venue well (having shot there before) All-in-all I can whole-heartedly endorse Tyler and team. We found them responsive, professional, affordable, and friendly. As for the end-results, they went above and beyond in delivering many high quality photos (and raw short videos that made it into our final cut wedding videos)

    The 4th spot Tyler took us to. This became one of our favorite photos from our engagement shoot!

    I am so glad we chose Tyler to shoot our engagement and wedding photos. He is so easy to work with and his friendly demeanor made our first photoshoot a breeze. Even though we agreed on 3 spots for our 3 hour engagement shoot session, he took us to a fourth spot overlooking the Golden Gate Bridge, and that became one of our favorite photos from the session. He directed us on how to pose, so it never felt awkward at all. On the wedding day, he and his team showed up early and started as soon as he saw us in the parking lot! He kind of acted as an unofficial wedding coordinator in that he led us through our day and made sure we were on schedule (he even worked with us on perfecting our wedding schedule weeks prior to the big day), so we were really thankful for that. Not only is he super friendly and always smiling, but he has a talent for finding the right angles. He seems to always have a vision and does what he can to execute it. And while he knows how to have us pose, he loves taking candid shots too. We are very grateful to have hired a photographer who clearly has a passion for what he does! We HIGHLY recommended Tyler. You won't regret having him shoot your wedding day!

    I'm so happy I found Justin!!! We hired him to capture our intimate elopement ceremony and we were…read moreover the moon with him. He was responsive, easy/straightforward to work with, made us feel comfortable during the shoot and was very personable. I really appreciate his easy going personality and he made us feel comfortable during photos and gave us really good poses/pointers. I loved that he would show us little snippets during the shoot to show us how the photos were turning out as well. He was so kind, friendly, professional and all the great things you want in a photographer capturing your special moments. I believe he finalized edits and sends within 3-4 weeks and I can't wait to see. Bonus was that he sent over more than 10 sneak-peaks within 24 hours!!! This was so awesome and we were able to use right away to announce our marriage. All in all, so impressed with Justin. He's a gem and I'm looking forward to continue using him for our future shoots!!

    Justin was our photographer for our engagement and wedding. He did a fantastic job for both…read moreevents. For the engagement, Justin met with my husband to scope out potential locations. My husband greatly appreciated Justin's recommendations for photo ideas. For our wedding, Justin and his second photographer were nothing short of amazing. Justin was able to use the venues spaces very creatively and effectively--I was very impressed with Justin's ability to stage us and our family and wedding party without having seen the venues before. The photos made me appreciate the venues in ways I had not thought of. Justin was able to turn around two photographers' and 10 hours worth of photos in 2 weeks. We were very impressed! Justin has a way of making people feel comfortable. That was true of my husband and me, as well as our wedding parties and families. The end result was amazing photos that we love, and our friends and family have told us look great. We are so happy we got to work with Justin and his team!

    If you're looking for an experienced and talented photographer for your wedding or engagement…read morephotos, we cannot recommend Charles enough. My husband and I met with many companies and photographers but couldn't find the quality we were looking for until we discovered his work--it felt like art: natural, timeless, and beautifully composed. Charles photographed our engagement session at a local park, and the photos turned out absolutely stunning. We received countless compliments on our wedding website and invitations. He was creative, professional, and made us feel completely at ease throughout the process. He guided us with poses, helped us feel confident, and knew exactly how to capture our best angles. This meant so much to us, especially since my husband and I are usually camera-shy and not comfortable with romantic poses. Before the wedding, Charles met with us to review logistics and shared helpful insights that made the day run seamlessly. Our family loved him and appreciated how efficiently he organized and captured all of our group photos. The results speak for themselves--our wedding pictures look like they came straight out of a professional magazine. The candid dance floor shots were incredible, and we were amazed by how many genuine moments he captured without us even noticing. His attention to detail in editing is outstanding. Charles was such a huge help during the wedding, offering advice, coordinating smoothly with our vendors, and ensuring everything went perfectly. We never felt stressed and fully trusted him to work his magic. It was such a thoughtful surprise to receive preview photos the day after the wedding. We truly appreciate his hard work, professionalism, and dedication to making our day unforgettable. From our engagement session to our wedding, our experience with Charles was exceptional!

    We had Charles shoot our engagement photos! So far the preview we have received the photos look…read moreamazing! I was so nervous to have photos taken because I am so awkward and uncomfortable in front of the camera but Charles made me feel so comfortable and relaxed. I truly am happy for the amazing experience

Booking and finding the studio was an easy process, since they sent a text on the booking date with pictures of where to enter in the building. The studio is really clean. Before we stepped into the room, everyone had to step on a sticky mat to clean our shoes. Appreciated it to keep the photo room clean. Once you are inside the room, there are chairs, props, backdrop, the camera, a monitor to see yourself before taking the pictures, and the monitor with the photos after you clicked it. We were blown away with the lighting! Prepare your poses beforehand. We had a Pinterest board of the poses and went through them during our session. Time does fly by quick. The owner walked us through the photo selection process. It was nice to have a few printed photos to keep while the rest of the photos were sent via email/Airdrop. I will be a returning customer :) Highly recommend BYME studio

They took pity on us and gave us 10 free minutes. We were so grateful and took full advantage of the added time we were given. The staff explained the process to us. We took a few test shots.

    Daniel was wonderful to work with! We planned a simple wedding ceremony at SF City Hall in a short…read moreperiod of time. My fiancée and I knew we had to prioritize the things were important to us, beautiful photos were one of those things. We needed a photographer that was familiar with City Hall and searched online until we found Daniel. We knew he was the right fit when we saw this work and got to exchange a few emails. He was so easy to work with and just understood what we wanted. Daniel was very flexible and adaptable. He was truly tested when found out there was news conference at the foot of the stairs as well as rain, both threw a wrench in our plans but we worked with what we had and it was lovely. We got our photos quickly too. Our friends and family gushed over our photos, they could not believe we found such a good photographer in such a short period of time. I would absolutely recommend Daniel.

    I think my wife would be able to give a more detailed account of our interaction with Daniel, but…read morei'll give you the overview. We found Daniel here on Yelp and we went with him over the other photographers because he was easy to get in touch with, nice in person, and we likes his portfolio. When we met him we saw him for the nice and fun guy that he is. It was important for us to feel like we're dealing with a person instead of a stiff robot (if that makes sense). On the wedding day, he was awesome! He directed us very well and even took some specific shots for us. He even put up with all the family and friend pictures after the ceremony haha! We had some issues of losing light (winter marriage) and he decided to take some more pictures at the church before we headed off to the reception area and this turned out to be a GREATA decision since it was very dark soon. Had we waited, those ceremony pictures would have been dark. He had worked at our venue before, so he knew his way around the place and did his thing. I focused on enjoying the moment and making sure my new bride was happy, and Daniel took care of the awesome pictures. We got back all the pictures within a month and my wife went back and forth with him over email to pick some photos to touch up and to re-edit. In the end we were SUPER HAPPY and i would recommend Daniel Hon to anyone. I might recommend against winter weddings though =P unless you give yourself more time to take great pictures with the daylight. THANK YOU DANIEL!

They give honest review about how to pose, the photo background and outfit and great ideas in between! My kids are hard to deal with during photoshoot but they handle it with grace and able to let my kids participate in our photoshoot. All of our photos came back amazing! Vish is great with editing and they're generous enough to re-edited our photos when I requested and give a bonus image when he forgot to edit some of my newborn's pictures. The wait of getting the pictures is a bit long but worth it! Two-thumbs up for their hardwork and skills. I will definitely recommend them to my family and friends and will come back if I needed another photoshoot in the future! 11/10! Wish you the best Vish and Kushali.

    Disappointing Maternity & Newborn Photoshoot Experience…read more We had a very disappointing experience across both our maternity and newborn photoshoots. For the maternity session, there was no proper pre-discussion about locations or outfits. We were simply asked to choose from previously taken images, which felt impersonal. During the shoot, the session felt rushed, and the photographer appeared disengaged, as if they wanted to finish early. From a 2-hour session, we could barely select around 10 usable images, which reflects the overall quality. We also noticed technical issues with the camera, including frequent error messages during burst shots. For the newborn session, we had informed them in advance that we would be about 30 minutes late due to our baby's doctor appointment. Despite this, one of the planned props was removed, which felt inflexible given the circumstances. There was also a significant delay of about four weeks beyond the expected timeline in delivering the edited images, without clear communication or accountability. After delivery, communication continued to be frustrating. We received emails indicating additional charges if image selections were not made within 30 days, which felt pressured--especially considering the delay in delivery was on their side. At the same time, when we requested a re-edit for one of the selected images, we had to follow up multiple times and did not receive timely responses. Additionally, some comments made during the newborn shoot were uncomfortable and inappropriate. Remarks about the baby's skin tone and comments regarding the mother's feeding choices were hurtful and unexpected, especially for a one-month-old baby. We expected a much more respectful and sensitive environment. There was also no prior discussion about props for the newborn shoot -- only a couple of setups were pre-arranged, and we felt limited to those options. Similar to the maternity shoot, the overall photography quality did not meet expectations. From a 1.5-hour session, we could barely select around 15 images, and the editing felt very basic, with some images appearing minimally edited. Given our experience, the overall service felt unprofessional, inflexible, and lacking in quality. These are once-in-a-lifetime moments, and we expected a much more thoughtful, skilled, and supportive experience. Also, please don't go based on Instagram followers alone -- our experience did not reflect the expectations set by their online presence. If you are looking for a photographer who communicates well, provides guidance, and creates a comfortable and enjoyable session -- especially with a newborn -- this may not be the right fit.

    Overview: Yesenia has been an amazing photographer. We have…read moreloved working alongside her as she is so warm and inviting and has a great eye for amazing pictures. We first booked her for Christmas photos and then again for maternity pictures and most recently for newborn pictures. Yesenia works with your ideas and with her photographer's eye makes your dream picture come to life. I will continue to book Yesenia for my photography shoots and she is the first person I recommend when someone is looking for a photographer. Safety: As a mother, I have taken extra precautions during this pandemic so I was skeptical at first to book a photographer- but Yesenia has always ensured we feel safe as she creates a safe environment. She has kept her mask on for every shoot we have had with her, she disinfects all the items before use. Even now that she is fully vaccinated she keeps her mask on and constantly cleans her hands. Christmas Shoot: I first booked her when she was offering a Christmas mini in 2019. My husband, son, and our dog Moo showed up to the session at a park in the city. Yesenia was invited and warm as she helped us pose alongside the props she had. Also noted was that she was wearing a mask and disinfected the items we used as props in front of us before the shoot. I loved the pictures she took of us for Christmas that for the first time in a long time, I sent out Christmas cards! Pregnancy Shoot: I did not think I would ever have another child so when I became pregnant in 2020 I was ecstatic & quickly knew I wanted to well document this journey. I reached out to Yesenia right away, she congratulated me and told me when the most ideal pregnancy period was to take maternity pictures. I booked a spot for I was about 34 weeks pregnant. Before the shoot, Yesenia called me to discuss the color scheme, pictures I wanted to recreate, family portrait options, and the details of what I needed to take to the shoot that day. After our call, she sent me a detailed list of what to expect during the shoot and how I could prepare. When we arrived at the studio she made us feel comfortable as we took family pictures and then more intimate pregnancy pictures. My pictures came out so good everyone was in awe at how beautifully Yesenia captured that moment. Newborn Shoot: So of course I reached out to her again when my son was born. And as always she was great. She had everything in the studio prepared for our pictures. Yesenia even takes extra steps to ensure the newborn is comfortable the entire shoot. During the shoot, Yesenia was extremely calm and patient as she helped us pose and dress our son. Our son was asleep just about the entire session because he was so comfortable. I just received the raw images of this shoot and as always I am not disappointed. I cannot wait to see the final versions of these pictures =)

Initially we had a little tiff, because the unedited pictures were very normal and we were expecting more, but she assured that we'll be very happy with the final product, and WE were very happy with the final edit, except one picture where due to lighting, some eye shadow correction was needed and that didn't happen.

Super knowledgeable regarding the requirements of multiple passports of different countries. Kind of pricey. Wished they had the ability to take photos other than just for passports in store. Great quality. Loved how if you ask for advice, they aren't afraid to give it to you or send you to someone they know. Hashtag connections! Blown away by the magnitude of/number of customers coming in and out of the store. Different films available for purchase. Black and white is more expensive than color... When you call and ask where to park...they suggest Grocery Outlet (which is directly across the street) but that you should not exceed 1 hour. If you don't want to risk it, there's metered street parking as well. Why not 5 stars? The "welcome in" and "good bye" near the door is super annoying. Rather have "ding ding ding." Takes awhile to develop (specifically speaking for passport photos) but great quality nonetheless. Not much of a waiting space/area or a place to stand/sit (can get stuffy real quick).
