Working with David and Annie for our proposal photos was a breeze. Even though I initially didn't have 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! read more

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

David and Annie were perfect. I booked with them because they had experience in the area that I wanted to propose at (Potrero Hill) and loved their style. David was extremely communicative (and fast!) and once I shared the details of my plan, he assured me he could do it all, including arriving early to the spot, hiding out of sight, setting up the right angle. We discussed positioning, time of day and lighting, angles, and overall vision. Annie also came along and caught my fiancee's reaction from a different angle, which made the album that much more magical. Annie did the editing and everyone in my life is WOW'd. I would highly recommend them to anyone! read more

I cannot say enough wonderful things about David & Annie. Plus, they offer TWO photographers! Not something I considered before, but so worth it. Details below: They helped my fiance plan the proposal by offering locations that fit his vision and even moved the date last-minute when I stubbornly double-booked us for another event because I didn't know he planned to propose that day! David & Annie are fantastic. During the proposal, they blended right into the background so I didn't even notice them, then they did a small shoot with us after the proposal to continue getting our initial reactions. The photos are absolutely gorgeous and speak for themselves. I especially love this magical, wide shot they got of the proposal from a distance. Another perk: there are TWO photographers, so they each capture different angles at the same time. I had never considered that possibility, but it is totally worth it. We got two photos that same day to share with our loved ones, and the rest of the photos about two weeks later. All the people and background noise were expertly removed from the shots so our proposal looks private and personal. Just perfect. If we do an engagement shoot, I guarantee it will be with David & Annie again. If they're available for our wedding, I'll hire them a third time. I cannot recommend them enough!! read more

Highly recommend David and Annie! They were awesome to work with from the time I contacted them all the way to the time the photos came out. The quality of their work is absolutely amazing and I'm absolutely glad I got to work with them for my fiancées surprise engagement. Thank you again guys! read more

Came to leave a review for their photography of our proposal/engagement and I'm 0% surprised it's all 5 stars! We got the package with one photographer, and that went super smoothly. David made sure no one else was in the shots, and captured so many great moments of the proposal! Afterwards, he took photos of us around the area, and I'm super awkward with posing in general, so I really appreciate how he would tell us how to pose and give tips like where to place hands, where to look, etc. My favorite part is that he also caught a lot of candid moments, and those are my favorite pics :))) Obviously for your big moment you want photographers that are reliable, and the peace of mind to just do your thing and know it'll be captured to look back on in the future is priceless! Super happy about how our shoot turned out :))) read more

They really went above and beyond for us! The photos are so amazing and both Annie & David were so helpful in guiding and posing us. I was crying the entire time but somehow all of the photos just look so ethereal. Their editing style is really nice & I love how it brings out the beauty of the location while still being focused on us. You can really see the love and emotions in all of the photos. I also love that after they said goodbye to us they still took a few more photos, including my favorite photo which is of us FaceTiming my family! They sent us 2 photos right away and then the rest of the photos a bit over a week later. They also wrote a beautiful blog post about us that we loved sending out to all of our friends and family members. Thank you so much Annie and David for capturing my favorite day ever! read more

Just got our surprise engagement photos!!! They are so beautiful and our poses looked so natural and candid. They also said our photos would be ready within 2 - 3 weeks, but we got them in 10 days! I was so shocked when I received the message saying they were ready. Best of all, Annie and David are so nice and personable, and you can tell that they were genuinely happy for us! Couldn't have asked for a better engagement photo shoot! read more

David was fantastic to work with. Communication was prompt and clear. He had experience shooting the area I planned to propose at (Presidio Tunnel Tops) and was able to help brainstorm how best to go about it. When things didn't go 100% per plan for me on the day of, he adjusted and everything worked out perfect regardless. The pictures were excellent, capturing the moment well. He even threw in a bit extra beyond what we originally discussed. Would recommend to anyone looking for a proposal photographer in the area. read more

After doing a bunch of research on Bay Area photographers, I finally landed on A Tale Ahead. No regrets at all. So happy that we went with Annie for our City Hall wedding. Annie was very responsive and easy to work with. I love her energy and can-do attitude on the day of. She gave us 135 photos after 3 hours of shooting! Highly highly recommend working with Annie for your photo shoots! read more

David and Annie were absolutely incredible! They captured the moment I proposed to my girlfriend perfectly, every emotion, every reaction, every detail. I spoke with David From the planning stage to the actual proposal. He was professional, responsive, and really helped to make the moment special. When we received the photos, we were blown away. The lighting, the angles, the candid reactions, they truly told the whole story of that moment. They didn't just meet expectations... they completely overdelivered. If you're planning a proposal or any special event and want photographers who genuinely care and go above and beyond, I highly recommend David and Annie. This is a memory we'll cherish forever because of them. read more

Annie is A1+! We love the experience. She is easy to work with, very bubbly, and she took gorgeous pictures. My daughters (surprised us with this photoshoot) are so happy they picked her as our photographer. Thankful and blessed to have her, for she took our family pictures, as well as our wedding anniversary photos, to be used on our renewal of vows in January 2027. Thank you for pitching in the beautiful location as well (Halfmoon Bay - Ritz Carlton). It was PERFECT! If I could only bring her to our destination wedding, I would. Looking forward to the future photoshoots. THANK YOU SO MUCH, ANNIE! A TALE AHEAD PHOTOGRAPHY HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! read more

My fiancé, Kevin, proposed to me at Filoli Historic House & Garden, which was a proposal I could have only dreamt of. It is truly an understatement to say that I was so happy that he hired David as our photographer to capture our moment as a (literally) newly engaged couple. After I said, "yes!", David approached and introduced himself to me. He was very kind and professional. I'm someone who can be camera shy, but David made me feel very comfortable. He was easy to talk to, walked us through how to pose, and made the entire shoot so seamless and easy. I was so eager to see how our pictures turned out, and it was so nice that David gave us a sneak peek later that day. We were totally floored - his composition of the photos were so beautiful and he was able to perfectly capture our engagement. I showed my family and friends, and every single person not only exclaimed how beautiful our photos were, but immediately asked, "Who was your photographer?". They said that our photos looked so perfect and something that you would see in a movie. Shortly after my fiancé proposed to me, I remember thinking and saying that I wish we could stay in this moment forever. David's photos allows us to do just that -- relive and remember the emotions and the beginning of our next chapter. We are so grateful to David and the way he was able to capture our moment. You will not regret hiring David as your photographer. Thank you, David!! read more

David came recommended by a good friend, and even with that high praise, I was still blown away by how helpful and professional he was from the very beginning. After my initial inquiry, David promptly reached out to set up a time to connect. He took the time to understand what I was looking for, then offered thoughtful suggestions for location sharing previous examples, the best time of day, and even how the lighting would look based on the sun's position. His attention to detail and willingness to help plan made the whole experience feel so smooth and stress-free. The morning of the shoot, he followed up with an ETA and where he'd be--super clear and organized. Later that day, he even sent over a sneak peek, and just a few weeks later, I received the full gallery of stunning photos. The quality and care in every shot truly exceeded my expectations. David went above and beyond, and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him to anyone. I'd absolutely work with him again--or with his wife Annie--in the future. Can't say enough good things! read more

I don't love the idea of posting personal photos online, but I will say that the excellent photos on their blog are exactly what was delivered to me. So if you're curious about David and Annie's work, just check those out. read more

David and Annie did both our proposal and wedding photography/videography, and they were wonderful to work with. My husband had hired them for the proposal, and we knew right away we wanted them for the wedding too. They were super communicative, always pleasant, and made everything feel really easy and seamless. They were also very knowledgeable about the area, and had fantastic tips and suggestions for shooting locations, angles, and when and where to be to catch the best light for our photos. They were able to make it all work within tight wedding timelines, and coordinated perfectly with everyone on our planning team. The photos and video turned out beautiful -- true to color, which is exactly what we wanted -- and they delivered everything on time. They were also always available to answer any questions we had, which we really appreciated. Overall, it was such a smooth and positive experience, and we're so glad they were part of capturing these moments for us. Highly recommend for any engagement or wedding events! read more

When my fiancé was planning our proposal, he knew right away that David and Annie were the only people he trusted to capture this moment in our love story. They've been an important part of my family's life for 10 years -- they even photographed my sister's proposal -- and have since become our go-to family photographers. David and Annie are truly amazing to work with. They have a way of making you feel completely at ease, and they capture moments with such care and authenticity. Throughout the planning process, they answered every question my fiancé had and went above and beyond to help bring his vision to life. The photos and video let us relive this special moment over and over again, and we honestly can't thank them enough. They're not just talented -- they're thoughtful, kind, and simply the best at what they do. read more

I had been eyeing a few different photographers on Google/Yelp/Instagram for my surprise proposal. When I got confirmation that the ring would be ready in time, I reached out to all the photographers three weeks before my proposal date. Given the short window (and the fact that it was going to happen during a long weekend), my biggest concern was availability. All the other photographers took at least 3-4 days to respond back to me, only to tell me they were not available. David, on the other hand, texted/emailed back almost immediately (mind you, this was on a Sunday night). Not only was he available on the planned date, but he also wanted to have a quick phone call to introduce himself, get a general idea of my proposal plan, and answer any questions that I had. After the phone call, he followed up with a prompt email. He had already scoped out my proposal location and provided some extremely helpful guidance. He also sent a sample photo from that location where he had previously worked on an engagement shoot. If you go to the blog on their website, you can see hundreds of proposals that he and his wife, Annie, have done. If you're thinking of doing a proposal in the Bay Area, they have most likely already shot at the location that you're considering. Coming off this very positive first interaction, I felt like I was in good hands. In every subsequent email that I sent over the next two weeks, David answered all of my questions with great detail and alleviated any concerns that I had. One example -- as the date approached, there was a chance that fog could be an issue. David patiently worked with me as I thought of alternate locations. He could've easily dismissed my worries, but he provided the same level of detailed advice on these backup locations as he did on my primary location. Luckily, fog did not end up being a problem, but I felt assured that we had a solid backup plan if needed. On the day of the proposal, I shared my location with David. When he and Annie were ready for us at the proposal spot, he sent me a discreet text letting me know to start heading over. Everything worked out perfectly! They were both so nice, helping us pose for some portraits afterward. David sent a couple of sneak peek photos a few hours after the proposal. He mentioned that we would get the rest of the photos in about two weeks. Well, we ended up getting the photos in less than a week! On top of the photos being ready early, we received way more photos than we were promised. My fiancée and I both loved all the photos + video, as did the rest of our families; the entire experience was top notch! The sincerest thank you to both David and Annie for beautifully capturing this moment for us! read more

From start to finish, the experience with A Tale Ahead was a 15/10, I genuinely do not think a single thing could have been better or be improved on - no notes. I reached out to several prospective photographers 6+ months ahead of a surprise proposal and from the first interaction, A Tale Ahead felt like the right fit. David was communicative and kind, answered my plethora of questions, and ensured the day-of was seamless and easy. David was my point of contact and I met Annie the day of the proposal. Annie and David were both lovely when we met in person and I never once felt awkward or uncomfortable and I generally do not do super well in front of a camera. Having two photographers was better than I even imagined: we have different angles of the proposal and they were able to clear the area of all of the other folx at the Palace of Fine Arts and the pictures could not be any more beautiful. No idea how they managed to clear everyone out of the way without us seeing but somehow, they did! My girlfriend had no idea I was proposing or that our friends were hiding off to the side with champagne. David and Annie captured every moment and the gallery brought me right back to the moment. We have the most wonderful photos of us separately as well as with our friends. I am so overjoyed with how everything came out and how clearly they saw us and our friends and were then able to capture it all on camera. The communication, the kindness and warmth on the day-of, the excellent directions when we weren't sure how to pose (because honestly we were just elated and laughing and figuring out a pose was hard!), the thoughtful touches throughout the process to get to the day of the proposal--it all could not have been better. I felt like I was in competent and caring hands from day 1 and that proved to be the case throughout the entire process. I am not shocked that there are all 5 star reviews - if I could leave more stars I would. If you have any hesitation, just go for it. I am incredibly picky and detail oriented. I am especially picky about photos and how they are shot and edited and I think the gallery on their website really speaks for itself. I cannot recommend A Tale Ahead enough and I guarantee you will not be disappointed! read more

Meeting Annie and David was instantly comforting, and their teamwork made it clear we were in good hands. For our engagement session, they provided a list of locations where they had previously had experience at, which led us to choosing Sutro Baths. Annie was a master of both direction and timing. She knew exactly how to navigate the landscape to beat the crowds and catch the perfect light. She made the session feel fun and natural, resulting in amazing photos that captured the movement and drama of the location. Their preparation is truly next-level. Annie and David did deep research into our venue's unique lighting, even accounting for how the surrounding hills would impact the sunset. Beyond photography, they helped with our timeline, balancing the natural light with the special moments we wanted to capture. Because of their incredible attention to detail, we headed into our wedding day feeling completely confident with the sequence of events. On the big day, Annie and David were phenomenal at keeping us on track. They provided excellent direction for our wedding party and navigated our ambitious request for group photos with every guest with speed and organization. They were attentive to every detail, ensuring the day flowed effortlessly while they captured the electric and joyful energy of our celebration. Their photography style perfectly balances technical precision with a natural, storytelling feel that truly captured our wedding. We highly recommend A Tale Ahead! read more

David and Annie did an amazing job for my wedding!! I was able to meet Annie for my engagement photo shoot which was part of the package and she so friendly and helped us to get some amazing shots for our website and make us feel comfortable. Even my mom who has trouble connecting with others was approving of her. They were an amazing help coordinating me and my husband before the wedding to make sure we didn't run into each other and they helped us to maximize our time for the best photos. Our photos turned out beautiful and they were able to capture both memories and aesthetic we were going for. They were extremely flexible in helping us the whole day from start to finish from our get ready photos to the sparkler send off. All of my family loved how well Annie and David worked as a team and how kind and friendly they were. I Definity recommend getting the package with a photo album because the photo album they helped to create for me is beautiful. Overall wonderful lifetime photos and album that Annie and David were able to accomplish. read more

Long overdue review! We found Annie & David while we were searching for photographers for our wedding! We spoke to different photographers and instantly fell in love with both of their personalities! They are so personable, sweet, and fun! I loved the idea of how they started their business together, it's absolutely so cute! We got their biggest package which included an engagement shoot, wedding photos, a wedding book, parent books and a hard drive of our photos! Annie helped me throughout the process! She was always super responsive, which I appreciated so much! I was very anxious a lot of the times and her responsiveness helped calmed me down. She even helped me pick our engagement outfits haha Highly recommend them both! They are the absolute sweetest and I can't wait to book them again for our next celebration! read more

They gave me clear instructions, great advice, and were totally prepared when I arrived. Not only are they well-organized, but their photography skills are top notch. The shots they took were stunning and everyone who saw them was wowed.

Annie and David are a spectacular photographer duo! Not only were they super responsive to my fiancé's initial request, they had excellent communication with him throughout the process that made the surprise engagement truly seamless. With their excellent team work, we were able to get different shots to capture the beautiful moment and see sneak peak photos on the same day. David reached out to us in less than two weeks turnaround with a blog post of our engagement day and we were so touched to see that he had crafted a lovely story behind the reason why we picked the location and its meaning for us. A few days later we received all the edited photos and a surprise video. We were so happy to see the results. Thank you for capturing our special moment! We highly recommend A Tale Ahead Photography for your engagement or wedding photography! read more

My fiancé and I loved David's proposal photos and videos of us! The proposal was coming together quickly and I only had two days to plan the photography. From the beginning, I noticed that David was quick to respond and easy to communicate with. He understands that there were only a few time slots to communicate when my fiancé wasn't around. He took the time to understand what I was looking for and shared examples of locations in the SF area that could work. After I picked one of the locations that he suggested, we finalized timing. He was there promptly and really put me at ease as we got ready. Needless to say, with his guidance on timing and angles, all of his photos turned out great! We're looking forward to using A Tale Ahead again for future events. read more

My wife and I worked with Annie and David for our wedding day at San Francisco City Hall and we want to give a glowing review for their services. From the beginning of our conversations, you could tell they had significant experience, knowledge and expertise in wedding photography. They were extremely responsive to all of our questions, gave us great ideas for the shoot and always kept us updated throughout the process. On the day of our wedding, we worked exclusively with Annie. She captured our wedding day in a way that exceeded all expectations. Her talent for capturing natural emotions and stunning moments is truly remarkable. Annie was able to capture every moment flawlessly, capturing our families, friends and loved ones celebrating on our special day. Her ability to blend seamlessly into the background while still capturing every single detail was incredible. Annie is also a joy to work with. She was professional, patient, and incredibly easygoing. Her positive energy helped to create a relaxed and fun atmosphere on our wedding day. She really knew the ins and outs of shooting at San Francisco City Hall and guided us through all the best shots and locations. We've never had a professional photoshoot before the wedding, however, Annie was able to make everything really easy for us and natural to take all the photos we wanted. Lastly, the photos were meticulously prepared, super high quality and they were able to deliver the photos to us very quickly. Everything from our first look, wedding ceremony, and family/friends group photos came out amazing. We cannot recommend Annie and David enough. It's not surprising that they have received hundreds of 5-star reviews. If you're searching for a talented photographer team who will create unforgettable memories, look no further to book A Tale Ahead! read more

Annie and David were two of our favorite people to work with before, during, and after our wedding! Their work is gorgeous and they are true professionals. Annie and David both took photos on the wedding day and worked incredibly well as a team. They captured fun and sweet candid moments, while also ensuring there was time to do all of the staged photos we specified beforehand. Their style is beautiful, light, airy, and colorful. Annie and David are also two of the most professional and diligent people I've ever worked with. They are extremely organized, responsive, and great at pushing things forward amongst the long list of things to do leading up to a wedding, and went above and beyond to ensure that we loved both their work and the experience. They helped us plan our day-of schedule, blended in during the celebration, and did a great job of gently corralling family and friends for photos in a timely manner.

Working with Annie and David was one of our best decisions for our wedding! We always received prompt and thorough communication from Annie and David - it gave us peace of mind that we were in great hands and we had one less thing to worry about on our wedding day. They also provided great suggestions for timing and locations and showed up early. Throughout our wedding day, they were everywhere and seamlessly organized the many wedding group photos we asked for. They clearly communicated what they needed from photo subjects and efficiently directed large groups. They both took photos and worked so well as a team! The photos turned out better than we could have hoped for! They caught every important aspect of our day and we love reliving it through the photos! read more

A long overdue review for both David & Annie - the magical team that made everything from our proposal, engagement, and wedding day incredible. We had David & Annie for three separate events (proposal, engagement, wedding) and worked closely with them over the span of ~2-3 years since our wedding was delayed for COVID. We couldn't have asked for a better partner in our journey - they are super responsive, friendly, helpful, and very down to Earth. They're lightning quick to respond to our questions and came up with really creative solutions that perfectly matched our situation. For every event we did, they were on time (if not early!) and well prepared. Both of our parents and family/friends that were part of our wedding commented on how proactive and focused they were in capturing our moments while still having a great time alongside us. Our photos turned out absolutely amazing with so much attention to detail, clarity, and taste. When we budgeted our wedding, we ultimately decide to splurge on photos since those would last long after the event itself and we're SO happy to have gone with David & Annie. Thank you both for making our wedding journey wonderful! read more

I am so glad I picked A Tale Ahead as my City Hall elopement photographer. Annie is wonderful to work with! She is so easy to talk and makes taking photos feel natural. As people who are not used to posing for photos, she made taking posed and natural candid photos feel easy! Annie responds very quickly to inquiries. We had asked for a specific location to take photos, and she noted that the location did not have many photo spots. She included it into our list of photo places and also added another nearby location that offered amazing scenery! She is very knowledgeable about San Francisco and the best spots to take photos. I highly recommend A Tale Ahead!!! read more

I used A Tale Ahead Photography for our maternity photos and I am so happy with how it all turned out. Annie is a phenomenal photographer and was so fun to work with. She is super cheerful and supportive and really listens to what you are looking for. I actually really liked the work on her website and reached out to see if she did maternity photos - specifically how natural the photos looked versus a more overly exposed or airbrushed look. I highly recommend Annie for your photography needs. read more

Honestly can't say enough good things about Annie and David. They were absolutely incredible throughout the entire process. While the price was a little more than we had originally planned to spend, it was so worth it. Super responsive and we felt very taken care of all the way through the wedding and after. If you're debating hiring them, stop debating, just do it. We did a backyard wedding which is hard to navigate day of if you've never physically been onsite, but it was absolutely no issue for them. Plus they are so sweet and by far our favorite vendors that we used for the wedding. Hire them!! P.S. we just got all our photos back and they're all amazing. Got a ton of compliments from family and friends read more

David and Annie were absolutely wonderful to work with! They took photos of my proposal in a location that they haven't photographed in a while, but David's photography expertise shone with detailed explanations of the advantages of each proposal spot, time of day, direction of light/background, etc. when planning. They have such a fun dynamic together and relieved the anxiety I had during the shoot and even participated in my setup before asking the big question. In addition, they came prepared for everything and even had room to carry our things throughout our shoot. The pictures came out absolutely phenomenal! They looked incredibly bright, colorful, and full of life, as if you were there. The extra video footage was adored by all of our friends and family and was the cherry on top for our delightful experience. Not only that, but both the sneak peak pictures and the album turnaround time was incredibly quick. Their organization, planning, attention to details, and skills contributed to such a wonderful memory, and I can't thank them enough for capturing our special moment! read more
