You can 100% tell he is a true professional with how he carries himself and how he directs everyone with such ease. He was always on top of his communication and always made us feel comfortable. You know he's done his job right when I tear up just looking back at all the photos from our special day. He knows how to capture true love and happiness through that lens of his! His vision is immaculate and you can be sure to trust him with taking photos that will last throughout your lifetime. Our family, friends and colleagues won't stop telling us how much they love how our photos turned out. The turnaround time to get our photos was so quick and he even provided us with sneak peeks while we waited for everything else. Overall, I would highly recommend Christer's work. His work speaks for itself!

David is an amazing photographer! He has an excellent eye. If you're anything like me, I'm the…read moreWORST at and don't like taking pictures. But I wanted to check this out and venture outside my comfort zone. My daughter and I did the shoot together and all I can say is WOW! You have to experience it to believe it. Posing is a workout! But he knew what he was doing and we had so much fun with David! Definitely makes you feel comfortable with the journey and makes it fun! Veronica pampered my daughter and me prior to the shoot and she is just a beautiful person inside and out! She did our makeup and hair and I don't wear makeup. She did a wonderful job on both of us and I would definitely recommend her for any events! Thanks you two! It was such a great experience!

First met David as part of his personal project called "Body Love," which I learned about on his…read moreblog/Instagram. This was a sort of social experiment, collecting answers to the prompt, "What do you love most about your body?" and taking photographs of local volunteer participants. I took a leap and decided to sign up for a shoot. Hint: my response to the question had to do with my teeny-tiny beginnings. One afternoon in early April, I arrived at the gate of the black and yellow DSP studio building in Alkali Flats (11th Street) for a 30-minute shoot, able to pick my own convenient time, and he was super flexible. The only instruction was to come dressed in something (outfit, hair, makeup) that makes you look good and feel good, tried my best. What a whirlwind session getting to meet David -- he was based in Davis before moving to midtown Sacramento, go Aggies! A fun experience, at ease and a such a modern, welcome, inviting, comfortable space/zone. The beautiful snapshot image for keeps was a bonus. When he says to trust his creative process, it's the truth! 42 participants later, this project final form launched in June as a blog post, and ultimately it was a celebration of body positivity. Graciously invited back in to his studio to do headshots one evening in August, brought a couple of simple tops as options. Did my own hair and makeup again, thankful my hair-toning, false eyelash self-application skills sufficed. Originally slated for a 30-minute session, David let me actually do several outfit changes and stick around to help choose the winningest photo. It was difficult to pick just one, though the others were available for purchase if wanted. So grateful to DSP for having me back. Just as the previous visit, working with David behind the lens was fun, but at the same time you can tell he remains focused, directs for poses, and even explains the pro lighting tricks. Absolutely loving my fresh new headshot photo, so simple and clean. I'd had headshots taken before but this updated one is more intimate in a lean-in kinda way. Highly recommend and happy to help him build his porfolio and get the word out. His website/blog/newsletter occasionally run promotions, such as the current "Back to You" portrait session Beauty Shoot promo through the end of September. Who else wants to look and feel gorgeous? For photography needs (portraits, headshots, whatever), David and his hair/makeup/wardrobe team elevates you to Vanity Fair magazine-style level at his regular-priced studio packages. Both of my photos were my own wardrobe, hair and makeup in the interest of time (30 minute session versus typical 2 hour shoot), but his portfolio says it all. He also does senior portraits, weddings, even pet photos (doggie "Vogue")! For beautiful photography in a signature style, see David Suh.

We highly recommend Doug Miranda Photography! From our first email, we knew Doug was the perfect…read morefit. He was incredibly accommodating, even traveling to San Francisco for our engagement shoot. It was our first professional photoshoot, but Doug made us feel completely calm and comfortable, which perfectly prepared us for the wedding. On the big day, Doug and his wife Christine were absolutely amazing--so warm and welcoming to our family and friends. While we had a solid plan, they remained wonderfully flexible and easygoing as the day unfolded. We are in love with our photos and were blown away to receive the final gallery in just two weeks! The images are crystal clear, beautifully lit, and capture the perfect balance of candid, casual moments and family shots. We especially loved the stunning balcony-view group photo of our entire wedding party. We couldn't have asked for a better experience!

From before the ceremony through evening dancing, Doug found countless perfect shots. Doug effortlessly found countless perfect shots, whether the photos were formal portraits or candid photos throughout the evening. Doug made great efforts to get great shots while making sure my husband and I had time to enjoy our wedding day. Doug was a breeze to work with, any particular photo ideas we wanted to make sure we got, Doug brought them to life. He is extremely personable and friendly. My husband and I were pleasantly surprised with the amount of photos Doug was able to get in a few short hours on our wedding day; there wasn't a moment missed by Doug. When it was all said and done, Doug quickly provided us with hundreds of high quality photos that were easy to access, navigate, and download to our devices. The experience with Doug Miranda was a truly special one.

He really worked with me finding a package that worked for my budget. All of our photos are beautiful, from our engagement session to our wedding!

I mean he did not miss a single detail; Which will be so great to look back on and see everything we put into our special day. I would highly, highly recommend Robert Cristie Photography! We are looking forward to using him again someday!

Rob is the most amazing photographer and I cannot imagine ever having another person take our…read morephotos. He has such talent and makes you feel completely comfortable, no matter the occasion for your photo shoot. I will be the first to admit that I'm not the most photogenic person, but I fell in love with our engagement and wedding photos thanks to Rob and his expertise. He doesn't take the same shots with every client which really made me feel like my pictures were that much more special. He is very detail oriented and goes out of his way to capture the best image. The day of our wedding he arrived before hand to find some great locations that had not been used before. I am convinced that he does not take a bad photo. I love every picture he took for our wedding and engagement shoot and I would recommend him to everyone. He was the first vendor we picked for our wedding because we knew our wedding would not be complete without him. (We actually made sure he was free before finalizing our venue-that is how great he is). You will not be disappointed.

After contacting dozens of photographers, we selected Peter based on his reviews, style, rate, and…read moreavailability. For our engagement session in 2019, we split time between UC Berkeley (where my husband and I met) and SF waterfront area. The photos were beautiful and vivid. Like many couples, our 2020 wedding had to be rescheduled. Peter was understanding and easily accommodated our new 2021 date. He shot on 2 cameras for 8 hours for our wedding. He came our home in Berkeley where we were getting ready and then drove to Moraga for the actual event. We received almost 600 photos from the wedding ceremony and they really captured the joy, nerves, and fun of the day. Peter's work is fantastic!

We absolutely LOVE our wedding photos by Chris from River City Imagery. Chris just has an amazing…read moreability to not only take beautiful pictures, but to take shots that really capture the moment and the emotion expressed behind it. This is what stood out to us when we saw first saw his portfolio when were deciding on a photographer. We looked at portfolio after portfolio from other photographers that were full of "pretty" pictures, but Chris's really stood out because his photos seemed to naturally capture images of emotion and to meaningfully tell a story with those images. We were not disappointed when we received our wedding photos. This is going to sound totally cheesy - but seriously, looking through the images together for the first time and then later with our families made us all smile so much because it brought back the beautiful and joyful feelings from our wedding day, and I'm sure they will for years to come. He did a wonderful job with the formal photos, artistic shots, action shots, and some hilarious candid shots. He captured all of the special moments at our wedding and even managed to get most/all of our guests in one picture or another, which makes it so much fun when we're sharing our pictures with our friends and family. We were really impressed because he managed to capture so many of these moments without us even realizing he was there. The other thing I loved was how relaxed, flexible, and easygoing Chris and his wife Sidney were to work with. They are genuine and sincere people who are great personalities to work with. They made a great team creating and taking photos that were both artistic and thoughtful and really captured the story of our wedding. Lastly, we felt the photography packages from River City Imagery were at very reasonable price points. We really liked how Chris offered a mid-level package without all of the add-ons but still kept the most important core service - 8 hours of wedding photography. We appreciated the fact that he wasn't trying to gouge us with a bunch of extras and add-ons that we didn't really need and couldn't really afford. He also provided shared copyrights to our wedding photos and included a DVD with all of the images in high-resolution so we can share, print, or create whatever mementos we want with them. His turnaround time for our photos was extremely quick, he edited them and posted them to our online viewing gallery shortly after our wedding and the DVD with the high-res images followed shortly thereafter. Overall, we would highly recommend Chris and River City Imagery to future brides and grooms to-be. He is a talented photographer, he and Sidney are wonderful personalities to work with, and his services are very reasonably priced. We loved our photos, and if we ever need a professional photographer again, perhaps if we do a family shoot in the future, we will definitely be hiring Chris and River City Imagery again.

We wholeheartedly recommend Gagan in the highest terms -- would give him 10 out of 5 stars if we…read morecould! Gagan and his team did an incredible job at our wedding. Not only is he a master of his craft, but the photos that he took perfectly captured the vibe of the wedding weekend and our relationship. Importantly, Gagan and his team got all the key moments -- big and small -- on camera while seamlessly blending into the wedding, as opposed to getting in the way of events. He also had a terrific rapport with our guests and us, as he's genuinely a really nice guy. Our wedding was an Indian one and his understanding of Indian wedding traditions (as he's originally from India himself) was a huge plus for us. In short, going with Gagan was worth every penny and we'd recommend him to all our family and friends.
