My husband and I were very particular in who to choose for our engagement and wedding photographer…read more We filtered through a bunch of photographers and Daniel was the best in terms of style and pricing. Daniel is very professional, detail-oriented, and very easy to talk to. You can tell he has a lot of passion for photography and really cares about his clients getting the shot/look over being strict on the timing laid out in the contract. Onto the photoshoot, my husband and I were really nervous about how to pose and not look awkward however Daniel quickly helped us loosen up. As we took more and more photos, we knew how to pose and it got really fun that we didn't want to stop. Daniel really goes out of his way to even do a venue site tour if he has never been to your venue before. He will help look at your bridal suite and around the venue to give you advice regarding space and lighting. This was huge for us because the original room we had was way too small. We upgraded to a bigger room with more lighting and this allowed us to have a smooth wedding day. Daniel is also very punctual, hard-working, and prepared. He always arrives early and is very communicative which is a plus! He runs around to help capture the special moment for you and even prepares so many things such as a bubble gun for the signature look, placemat for your wedding flat lay, and adhesive suction hook to hang your wedding dress. I was just amazed how thorough and thoughtful he is. Shoutout to his wife as well. She is Daniel's assistant who does all the close up shots and puts in just the same energy/work as Daniel. They make the perfect duo! It's unfortunate that he does not have that many reviews/followers on his social media accounts because his work is truly amazing! If you are planning to get your photos taken, I highly recommend Daniel.

Daniel and his wife Phuong are AMAZING photographers!…read more They are so incredibly passionate about photography, and you can definitely tell! Daniel and Phuong took our engagement photos and also photographed our wedding day, and they were fantastic all throughout. They went above and beyond to capture every beautiful moment, and are so creative with how they get the perfect shots! Whenever my wife and I look at their photos, we're so awestruck by their artistic vision and skills. Daniel and Phuong are super humble, honest, and dedicated to their work. They exceed all expectations and are there to capture your special moments in the best way possible. Not only that, but they're genuinely amazing people, and we had a blast working with them. We cannot recommend them enough!!

We honestly cannot say enough wonderful things about Jeff; From the very beginning, several weeks…read morebefore our wedding, he was absolutely amazing. What started as a photographer-client relationship quickly became a genuine friendship, and by the time our wedding arrived, it felt like Jeff was one of our friends who just happened to be there capturing every special moment. Jeff was with us for two full days, covering every part of our wedding celebrations, and he was incredible from start to finish. On Day 1, he captured our afternoon Indian Haldi ceremony at Sachin's sister's house before joining us that evening for our Welcome Party, Mendi and Henna celebrations. He made everyone feel comfortable, and he somehow managed to capture all the little moments, emotions, laughter and craziness that made the evening so special. Then came Day 2, which was the incredibly full wedding day. Jeff was there early to capture pre-ceremony photos. He then captured our multicultural wedding ceremony, followed by personal photographs, whilst somehow having time to simultaneously capture our guests throughout the cocktail hour; Jeff was with us throughout the reception into the night. Despite how much was happening over the two days, Jeff was always very calm, professional, energetic and completely on top of everything. One of the things that impressed us most was how brilliantly Jeff worked with everyone else involved in our wedding. He was in perfect sync with our videographer and wedding planner, and the three of them worked together seamlessly. He also coordinated incredibly well with the team at El Prado Hotel in Palo Alto, making sure everything ran smoothly without ever making us feel like we had anything to worry about. But beyond his incredible photography and professionalism, what really stood out was Jeff himself. Our family and friends absolutely loved him. He has such a wonderful personality and was able to blend into the celebrations while still being incredibly attentive to what needed to be captured. He made people laugh, put everyone at ease and somehow managed to be everywhere he needed to be without ever feeling intrusive. He didn't just photograph our wedding -- he became part of it. We are so grateful that Jeff was there to capture these memories for us. Looking back, we know we made the right choice, not only because of the incredible photographs he captured, but because of the experience we had with him along the way. We would recommend Jeff to anyone without hesitation. Jeff, thank you for everything. We absolutely loved having you with us.

I wanted to have our family portrait in colorful Fall foliage. He was willing to meet in person to discuss details and he spent time to look for a great location for us. During the shoot, Brian made us feel completely at ease, guiding us with direction while still capturing natural, candid moments. The final photos definitely met our expectations--each shot was beautifully composed and edited. Highly recommend Brian to anyone looking for a talented, reliable, and creative photographer. Five stars without a doubt!

Since our wedding was being held in Castro Valley we decided to contact Jeff. From the moment we spoke with Jeff we knew we found the person we wanted to work with us. Jeff is the one of the nicest people we have come in contact with. He was always in a great mood when we met, listened closely to what our vision was, always responded promptly to any of our questions/concerns. He also did prep work that we didn't even request to ensure that he was able to provide the best service he could. The day of the wedding it was just like Jeff was part of the family. Everyone in our party loved Jeff and commented what a great person he is. Our wedding was perfect and Jeff played a major role in it's success. Jeff's rate was beyond fair especially for the quality of service and results he provided. Jeff THANK YOU again for all you did for me and Gerald and we will look forward to working with you in the future and will always point our friends and family to you when opportunities come up. Kenny & Gerald

We could not have asked for a better photographer on our Wedding Day. Darren boasts all of the…read moreskills that are valuable in a photographer. He was calm, collected, flexibility, and easy to work with. In fact, we received multiple compliments from our guests regarding his demeanor and interaction with everyone. He is an outstandingly talented professional with an eye for unique, magical photographs that boast his attention to detail and color. Darren is efficient, with the ability to herd 180 into a coordinated shot, yet has a firm respect for careful planning and variety. His product is unbeatable--the most cherished moments of your wedding, captured in photos, frozen in time. From the beginning Darren was easy to reach and responsive. We set up a skype call to talk about styles and expectations. He provided insight on the first look and the order of events. Once the wedding date got closer, Darren reached out to us to clarify family pictures and timelines. On the day of the wedding Darren was prompt and caught glamour shots of the ladies getting ready. During the first look he worked with the videographer to coordinate an easy meeting and series of natural photos at the trailhead. After the wedding he made time for bride and groom photos that ended up being some of my favorite shots, truly capturing the love between us. Neither of us have any experience being professionally photographed, yet Darren was able to walk us through the process to make everything feel natural. Within two weeks of the wedding Darren had already edited and made available our entire gallery of photos. They are exceptional. I knew I could have high expectations for Darren's work, but he exceeded them. The photos play with the light and perfectly capture our love. I could not imagine a better individual to work with on our wedding day. We give Darren our highest recommendation!

Darren has a gentle, competent easy going manner that put us at ease immediately. And he seems genuinely to like photographing weddings, which is SO fantastic. He seemed really excited about our wedding day, and took it seriously. Darren has taken the best photos that exist of me in the world. And will probably ever exist. For our engagement photo shoot, he was incredibly patient, took photos in a wide variety of settings and did a lovely set of our baby and our family - it was fun, and we really treasure them. The wedding day Darren and Robin were calm, lovely, professional and unobtrusive. They managed to capture all the details we wanted captured without us noticing them doing anything at all. Looking at photos a month out, we really feel like we are re-living the day; he captures the joy, the beauty of the setting, connections with love ones, and all the rest. He also gave us the photos edited, which is fantastic- not only do the colors and lighting look perfect, but he must have taken out all the highly unflattering photos that are inevitable - not a hideous expression on anyone in the bunch! Everyone looks beautiful! All the time. Just like in real life. I've always found that photos shape my memories. This is how I wanted them shaped. Really, choosing Darren was our best wedding decision (aside from choosing each other, of course). We will definitely be calling on his services again for other major life events! If you want great photos and a great experience, we recommend that you work with him too!

I found a photographer who is passionate about his work and has fun doing what he does. Carl took some much needed family portraits of my family and I and we were more than pleased. We knew we wanted to take them on location and not in a studio but were not sure how the background would look. We didn't want to take our photos at one of the many over photographed spots in the Bay Area and so we ended up at Lake Temescal. The photos were awesome and we found spots we didn't even know were at the park. We will be using Robinett again soon. Thanks Carl! Forgot to mention that he was super patient. My husband thought that one semester in a photography class made him a photographer and he kept making recommendations on shots. Carl took it all in stride and remained the professional he is while occasionally indulging in my husband's requests.

I wanted to get some professional pictures, but did not exactly have the examples of pictures to follow or a defined idea in mind before the session. I needed a photographer who will be able to help me and guide me so that the best pictures can be taken. And I am very happy that I chose Robinett Photography! Carl has a very good eye and did a wonderful job helping me find the best angles that highlighted what looks amazing and keep away what did not. I think several pictures look like they are from Vogue etc., it is hard to believe it is me! Everything was done in a very professional manner, while the session would always stay in my memory as a fun event since Carl lets you be yourself and enjoy being in front of the camera. Overall, highly recommended!
