Andrea was an absolute joy to work with from our engagement session through our wedding day. She made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera, and when we brought our dog to our engagement shoot, she knew exactly how to pose him and include him naturally in our photos. Those photos are memories we'll cherish forever. Andrea truly knows her craft. She has an incredible eye for lighting, pays attention to every detail, and captures moments so naturally. On our wedding day, she beautifully photographed everything--from the thoughtful detail shots of our decor and rings, to the emotions during our ceremony, and all the laughter and celebration at our reception. She also allowed us to be in the moment, there were moments when we forgot her camera was there! Looking through our timeless wedding gallery feels like reliving the magic of our special day all over again. Beyond her talent, Andrea is one of the sweetest people you'll meet. She's patient, calm, and brings such positive energy, making the entire experience enjoyable and stress-free. We are so grateful for the beautiful memories she captured and will treasure these photos for the rest of our lives. We hope to work with Andrea again in the future--We couldn't recommend Andrea more highly! read more

We were lucky enough to find Andrea through a referral for my daughter's wedding. She was so easy to work with and worked around work and school schedules. The day of the wedding was raining, so we had to make adjustments, and Andrea and her assistant had no problem working around whatever we needed. The one thing that stood out was during the entire day, while Andrea captured so many candid moments, you never felt like she was there, she was so professional. The pictures are amazing and the wedding photo book she put together captures the day perfectly. If you have a chance to work with Andrea, you need to because you won't be disappointed! read more

Andrea is the absolute best. She went above and beyond in every dimension of our wedding. From recommendations of ceremony site and planning photo locations at our ranch wedding, she was instrumental leading up to our day. When the day came, she was pure fun, joyful, and so clearly has an eye for the moment. We got our photos in today on our one-month anniversary and are blown away. We are experiencing all of the emotions... crying at the beauty, dying laughing at the candids. She captured moments that I, as the bride, had no idea about, and it makes me feel like I experienced our day all over again from every angle and perspective. The quality of her photos is fantastic, she is a magician and I could not recommend her more. She knew exactly where to go and what to capture, we could trust her instinct and timing with everything. We actually did not ave a day-of-coordinator, but between her and our videographer, we were completely taken care of and the timing of events worked out perfectly. She knows exactly what photos to get- talk about organized and efficient. She is the unsung hero of our perfect night, and made us feel beautiful/ special the entire time. I will attach some of the unique photos she took that have blown me away. We will be faithful to Andrea for our future photography needs, no doubt about that!!! Working with her is the best decision you'll make about your big day/ family moments! read more

Omg where to begin... so I found Andrea via Yelp when looking for a photographer for engagement photos last year. Researched several on Yelp then went to Instagram to see what the pictures were like. Bucheli's photos were so clear and beautiful either at a park, wedding/inside or out, baby smash cake, grad photos, or a venue. Then I noticed people I knew on her page so then I asked them about her. I told my fiancé at the time I thought this was the person to use. I scrolled the website and saw wonderful packages (engagement photos and wedding coverage), had a phone call and I was sold. Fast forward to the engagement photo shoot. She gave ideas where to have the shoot at because we were clueless lol. I always have a vision of what I want but need the expert to pull it together lol. During the shoot, she helped in so many way, not just taking the best pictures but helping my fiancé at the time loosen up as he hates pictures lol. She made both of us feel so comfortable I couldn't wait to see the pictures. While heading to and from the photo shoot areas, we stopped along the way to take pictures that she thought would be great photos. Another perk- and they were AMAZING photos I might add! Fast forward to receiving the photos. Omg they were everything! We were so impressed and happy with the photos I probably downloaded 15 lol and then ordered canvas for my home and my parents home lol. I couldn't wait for the wedding. We chatted prior to the wedding via a questionnaire then like a week before a call to kind of plan arrival, the layout of the day, pictures, wants etc. Again, I knew who I wanted captured but what to capture and what order so I relied on her expertise. Again, I felt so comfortable doing so because of previous interactions and conversations. Call goes perfect and we're ready for the wedding. She arrives on time with her assistant and starts shooting. Let me tell y'all she was so patient because some people wanted pictures, wanted to be in pictures etc. she handled everyone so professionally probably better than I would've if I wasn't the bride but then again this is what she does. Night was amazing as she captured everything from our view. Then it's the wait 3 weeks for pictures but then she posted a sneak peek on her Instagram page and I was like "omg these are amazing can't wait to see the rest". Everyone who saw the sneak peek pictures were like "wow I can't wait to see the pictures". Me "if only they know they will not see the link". Anyways, the link comes on Friday and I'm so amazed how great they are. Andrea and her assistant caught everything so beautifully, now I have no idea how I'm going to choose pictures to print or put in the book! Lol. These are good problems to have. I'm just so thankful for their time, patience and expertise. I think for my husband and I we relied on Bucheli for all the reasons above and left it in Andrea's hands and for that our special day was captured so well! I'm going to post a few pics from our day 1 to show how great they did and 2 because I'm so in love with all these pictures lol . Please please use Andrea as we know we will again!! read more

When my husband and I got engaged last December, we knew we didn't want to have a huge, lavish wedding with a lot of guests and expense. We began the search for a wedding photographer with an impressive portfolio within a reasonable budget to meet our needs as we didn't need to have full, all day coverage for our small, intimate "elopement" ceremony downtown. We began messaging various photographers on Yelp to ascertain their packages and pricing structure and ran across Bucheli Photography. We were instantly drawn to Andrea's photography style and liked seeing her expansive, varied portfolio - she was able to seamlessly mix casual, candid shots with carefully posed, well lit and framed formal portraits. We messaged her and were instantly blown away by how sweet, accommodating and helpful she was in discussing pricing, style and location options. We had a phone consultation to discuss our needs and budget, and based on our conversation she was able to draw up a contract outlining a perfect package for us that included an engagement session and an elopement package. She was kind enough to give us a discount as the pricing we initially saw was a bit lower than intended, which was very kind - she definitely didn't have to do that. We settled on meeting one month before our casual elopement at a local park for an engagement session. From the second we met Andrea in person, we were impressed by her unique eye for detail, and artistic talent. The day we met was cold and rainy (in February), but despite lugging around tons of equipment and being cold and wet, she had such an amazing energy and attitude. My husband and I instantly knew we made the right decision and felt at ease in our choice. We ended up with some of the most beautiful, unique engagement photos and looking back months later, I'm still in love with them! Andrea had our proofs edited and ready to go within just a few days and around 3 weeks later we had our small ceremony in downtown Sacramento. At our ceremony and reception, Andrea accommodated our family and friends perfectly and everyone raved to us about how sweet she was and her amazing personality. She instantly made everyone feel comfortable and relaxed, despite posing for tons of photos. She accommodated our request to walk to the Capitol for photos and took amazing shots in all kinds of lighting conditions - outdoor grey, late winter cloudiness, low light indoor candlelight etc. During our ceremony, we realized we wanted her to stay a bit longer than our original contract outlined, so we asked her last-minute to stay and take additional photos of toasts and cake cutting. Andrea accommodated it all with a smile and was more than willing to stay later and get all the photos we asked for and more. We received our proofs just a week or two later and were blown away by how beautiful and professional our photos were. We have so many phenomenal shots that I don't think I can ever choose one favorite. Even though our wedding was small and way less expensive and formal than other large weddings, Andrea still made us feel like our wedding and happiness was of paramount importance and never made us feel insignificant or unimportant because we had a small elopement package. I'll always recommend Andrea and her business to anyone looking for a wedding photographer, no matter how big your budget or plans are. Our experience with Andrea was out of this world and nothing but delightful and professional. I hope we have the opportunity to employ her services again in the future for other needs. Check out her website: she does more than just engagement and weddings! read more

Highly recommended, Andrea did a great job at a 60th birthday party event of ours -- very accommodating, and was a pleasure to work with!

Amazing wouldn't begin to describe the experience I had with Bucheli photography. I was referred to them by my wedding Cordinator and saw some of there amazing pictures so I chose them and from the start they were so personable and helpful! They helped me find what fit in my budget but also get me what I wanted. Pictures are what you have at the end to remember special days. Kristina and Sara were the ones that captured my day and they were amazing!! They captured our personalities and had fun with us while taking photos. They captured every image I wanted. From family photos to candid moments. From the tears to the laughs. I can't thank them enough. I now can look back and relive the greatest day of my life any time I want and will cherish these pictures for a lifetime! Thank you Kristina and Sara and Bucheli Photography Always - erin eatherton read more

Bucheli Photography - Love them all - Session Photography Near Me

Choosing Andrea to capture our wedding was one of the best decisions we made. She was very detail oriented and so friendly that I had more than one person asked us if she was a friend of the family because she is so warm and welcoming. She got our vision, she captured everything and more and she did all of it in a way that was not intrusive to our guests. In my option our photographs were one of the most important things that we could take away from that day. Not only did she do an amazing job I also love the fact that we get a copy of all pictures taken and don't have to choose a few here and a few there, we got them all on a DVD about 3 weeks after the day! I would absolutely recommend Andrea, no question! read more

I hired Andrea for my wedding photography and she was an absolute pleasure to work with! She was so sweet and had an incredibly calming presence about her. She was smiling the entire time and very easygoing. She was an a amazing hype woman and made me feel so comfortable during my photoshoot. She was also so gentle and kind and patient with directing me for poses. I was a bit stressed during my wedding but her positivity and energy definitely calmed me down a lot. Also, Andrea is super professional and organized which made the photography part of wedding planning an absolute breeze. My wedding occurred very recently so I've only seen a few of the photos BUT THE SAMPLES LOOK ABSOLUTELY AMAZING. I hate being behind the camera but Andrea captured my best sides. And made me and my husband look absolutely incredible. I'm so excited to see the rest of her work! And 100% recommend her to anyone looking for the best wedding photographer! read more

I cannot thank Andrea and Brandon enough for shooting our wedding back in September. When we chose her back in February, we counted the days before we got to see our wedding photos. They both came out the day before to see the venue - which they'd never been to before - in the snow! All of the photos are just to die for - so artistic and beautiful. Brandon was quite the gentleman, helping me carry my dress and flowers. Andrea was so sweet and had such an eye for all the details. So reasonably priced and just amazing people - thank you!! read more

Andrea Bucheli is excellent! We were thrilled to have found her! The photos are really high quality and she is a true pleasure to work with! We were married at the Palace of Fine Arts, and Andrea did a beautiful job capturing the incredible backdrop in our shots! She also captured many special little moments that other photographers might have missed. We highly recommend her! read more

When it decided to not just rain, but downpour, on our wedding day, with pictures planned to be taken outside at Tilden Park, Andrea Bucheli didn't just make it all better. She made it freaking fantastic. Andrea was the nicest, talented professional with super quality work from the get go. I found her on Yelp, checked out the website and had to see what it was all about. She showed us her work and sample albums (lots of different weddings, layouts, shots), explained her process over coffee, and genuinely took time to get to know us. She was easygoing and understanding and we knew we'd be happy to work with her on the big day -- really wanted to avoid that whole awkward Chandler smile situation for both of us. :) She sent us super clear contracts promptly, gave us the timeline, and scheduled a planning conversation as the big day got closer so we could work out the kind of shots (who and what) we wanted. She was prompt on email and phone calls, which was great because we were planning everything from Seattle. When it turned out we couldn't schedule our included engagement session, she kindly subbed in a large print. Then the rain came. We had to hastily move our wedding party photos to the nearby Clairemont Hotel and Andrea didn't miss a beat. She kept me calm when I was about to lose it and got everything in glorious detail... right down to the hat. And despite the totally different unplanned backdrop, I LOVE OUR WEDDING PHOTOS. I can't rave about them enough, and we keep getting compliments. The album arrived quickly and I can't wait to share it. :) I can't recommend Andrea enough! read more

I could not stop getting compliments from everyone on my lovely photographer and her assistant. Andrea was SO lovely to work with - I cannot stress it enough. We met before hand and she got the rundown of all of the "must have" pictures that I wanted and I can honestly say that she made sure to get them all. We also went over the time that we had originally booked her for and she was very honest and upfront about having to charge me for the added time - it was WELL worth every penny. Even when family members requested photos that were not on the original list, she obliged without a fuss. Thank you, Andrea! I will recommend you to absolutely anyone for any event and will be sure to keep you in mind for anything else I plan where a photographer is required. Can't wait to see all of the finished photos! read more

Bucheli Photography - Session Photography Near Me

Amazing photographer, she did our engagement photo shoot and our wedding. Very professional, kind and great photos. Will for sure have her shoot my future life events for me and my family. read more

You're recently engaged, just booked your reception site and now you need to start the search for all the other things that make wedding planning a daunting task. You're in luck, though, because you've just found your photographer. Andrea is fantastic. We had been looking a little online, soliciting pricing information from a few places, but nothing seemed right. It was all too expensive for what they offered. After reading reviews and checking out bucheliphotography.com we contacted Andrea. She was more than willing to meet us in Berkeley for a consultation. As soon as the meeting was over, we immediately decided to book her for our wedding. Andrea is extremely easy to work with. She even came to Berkeley again to shoot our engagement session. All of our planning was done over the phone or via email to accommodate us, which she seemed totally okay with. As for the day of the wedding, Andrea did everything exactly the way we had discussed. The posed shots went very smoothly, and she managed to get a lot of candids while remaining pretty inconspicuous. Hey, that's what you want in a wedding photographer, right?! The photos turned out perfect. We're still trying to decide which ones to have printed, but that's due to the fact there are so many great pics! Bottom line: Andrea is a fantastic photographer who is a pleasure to work with, makes you feel comfortable in front of the camera, is willing to travel to the Bay Area (as well as Tahoe, I believe) and offers very reasonable prices. She also makes all the photos from your event available for your guests to view and buy. That's a great feature. We were extremely happy with our choice and highly recommend her. P.S. She doesn't just do weddings... Check out her website for more info on other events and portrait sessions. read more

We are so happy that we were able to have Andrea capture our wedding! It was hard enough planning an out of state wedding, moving half way across the country and trying to graduate, let alone try and find an experienced, reasonable photographer. I can honestly say that Andrea was the most professional and patient photographer I have come across. We got our photos back so quickly and I couldn't believe how amazing they looked! She was so willing to work with us which made it so comfortable. I am so happy that we decided to go with her!!! I cant say enough good things about her! read more

This review is long overdue! We used Andrea for our Sept 2010 wedding and she was just awesome!!! From the very beginning, she was so pleasant and professional...her work is amazing. Our package included a free engagement session in Sacramento and the photos were amazing. Even though we live in the Richmond area, we took a trip up there and it was so fun. Andrea knows that area like the back of her hand and took so many cool shots (we are the couple with the black/white checkered background). During our wedding day which was a somewhat cloudy day, I kept worrying about the rain but Andrea and her assistant Christine were so calm and helpful! The shots she took were amazing...we got our online album a short time after our wedding and our friends and family keep complimenting us on the photos. Since your photographer spends so much time with you on your big day, make sure you like them! And with Andrea, she was just such a cool and easygoing person, you will have no problem with that! I picked the package which was 6 hours and Andrea took over 600 photos, she never stopped. She captured so many amazing moments and we are so happy we picked her. She was worth every single penny! read more

One word: incredible. My fiance and I contacted her after reading the Yelp reviews--and she is everything they promise and more. Andrea did an INCREDIBLE job on our engagement pictures--she really managed to capture the essence of who we are (dorky 20-somethings). Great combo of posed pictures and candids. Her prices are reasonable, she's awesome at what she does--what more could you ask for? Can't wait to see what she does for our wedding! read more

I cannot thank Kristina and Andrea enough for all their hard work for our wedding. Kristina was so calm and helpful with all the chaos that happens the day of the wedding and gave us great direction! They were so personable and friendly - I couldn't be happier with our selection. I would recommend them to everyone! read more

It was time to update our family photos and Andrea once again captured our special moments. She was amazing with our 3 and 1 year old. Having kids of her own, Andrea truly understands how to get the most out of them at this age. Thank you again, Andrea, for the beautiful photos. read more

Wedding photographs were our splurge, although Andrea's prices are reasonable and comparable to others in area. What sets her apart is her way of seeming like you were friends for a long time. In my moments of panic about timeline, she was there to reassure me and keep the party going. It felt like she was everywhere, but never in the way. We did our engagement photos with her a month or so before the wedding. My husband and I can be awkward in front of cameras and not your typical couple astheyically, but she was able to calm us and capture who we are. The photos turned out absolutely stunning. We haven't gotten our wedding photos back yet, but I know they will be great! I can't recommend her highly enough! read more

I was so thrilled to find Andrea for holiday cards in the last week before Christmas, why plan, right? She did an amazing job, brought out the best in my cranky husband, "you see me everyday, why do you need a photo?". She made it painless, captured great photos and provided a great value. I hadn't realized that many photographers start in the $300's. She gave us everything we needed and was just great. read more

Andrea is the best as it gets when it comes to high quality, professionalism and talent. Words cannot describe how wonderful she was during the whole process. From the first day my husband and I met her, we knew not to look any further. Andrea had not only provided us with her portfolio but also made us feel at ease with her ideas and her bubbly personality. Our engagement pictures(which were complementary) and wedding pictures turned out incredible and undeniably breath taking. Choosing her to capture your special day will definitely come with no regrets. Just stunning gorgeous pictures. Thank you Andrea for an awesome wonderful time and for capturing our special day one that we will never forget. Next portrait? Babies;-) Sasha V. read more

My daughter was getting married on a Friday and her photographer injured his back a few days before. We received a recommendation from a friend at the office to call Andrea just a few days before the wedding. Andrea and Kristina were available on short notice and boy we were so glad she was. Andrea and I discussed the logistics and my daughter loved the way she presented and framed her art. On the wedding day, she took charge and was great keeping us on schedule and making sure we got the photos we wanted. We just looked at the digital images and we were blown away. Very touching photos including great use of back lighting to enhance outside shoots. We felt so lucky to be able to get Andrea and Kristina on short notice and they did everything in a professional manner yet with a creative flair that made it very special. read more

This past summer, I finally had photo taken of myself. I haven't had professional photos taken of mysef in 20 years. I've never enjoyed sitting for photos, until I met Andrea Bucheli. Andrea is AWESOME!!! She is the type of photographer that will do whatever it takes to produce an excellent and unique photo. She will go beyond the distance to make sure the customer is happy with the finished product. I also found her to be very talent, professional and a pleasure to work with. She made me feel very at ease during the shoot, and it shows in the photographs. I just LOVE how the photos turned out. I've never gotten so many compliments. I give all the thanks to her. I highly recommend Andrea Bucheli Photography! read more

Andrea just did our wedding and we could not have been more pleased. She obviously has a great eye and a fantastic style without being being bossy or pretentious. Her assistant also made sure that everything was in the right place. Most impressive was their ability to get our son's attention for certain shots... he's 18 months and is maniacal. Even when there was chaos getting all of the family members together, Andrea was cool, calm and upbeat. I will even go far enough to say that she made our event more enjoyable. read more

Andrea Bucheli is an absolutely DIVINE wedding photographer. She did our engagement and wedding pictures and we couldn't be happier with the end result. Her personality is extremely down to earth and generous, and she is a pleasure to be around. Our pictures are beautiful and I'm amazed at a lot of the things she captured...I had no idea. Her pricing is very competitive, she really works hard and invests in your event and her talent is undeniable. If you're looking for a wedding photographer in the Bay Area, look no further. She is absolutely THE best. read more

Andrea did our wedding back in May of 2014 and we got so lucky! She was the best photographer I've ever worked for. She's personable, she's artistic and professional. We got a package that included engagement photos, a free print, wedding photos and a disc of our photos. We got our engagement album designed by her and I couldn't have designed it better myself. I am a control freak and need everything to be perfect and she did everything the way I would and I got to reap the rewards. She is so affordable, it should be a crime. Her artistic eye is so unique and she really wants her clients to be involved and get what they want. Andrea is flat out amazing! read more

We hired Andrea as our wedding photographer for our big day in October 2008 based on her Yelp reviews, the quality of photos on her website and her pricing...and we couldn't be happier! Not only did we walk away with tons of FABULOUS pictures to choose from, Andrea was a joy to work with and made our experience comfortable and fun. Our big day may be over but we've got one heck of an album that we're very proud of and enjoy looking at all the time. You won't regret choosing Andrea! read more

Andrea is amazing! She is sweet, kind AND professional. She did our engagement and wedding photos and made the most amazing Guest Book for our wedding out of the engagement photos. She was always easy to get a hold of and was just a pleasure to work with. She is also very affordable for the quality of work. Me and my now husband REALLY enjoyed working with her! I will post pics as soon as I get them! :) read more

By far the best photographer in history! We just got married and Andrea and her dream team were BEYOND amazing!! They are priced so well, her pictures are timeless, they're accommodating, kind and all around the best! I recommended her over and over again! I promise you won't be disappointed! read more

Bucheli Photography - Session Photography Near Me

I found Andrea on here (there was one review) and had a chance to meet with her in Sacramento when I was up there. She is amazing!!!! So nice, friendly, interested in learning about the unique customs and traditions in our wedding. Her portfolio is great (she has a lot on her website) and her prices are incredible - most competitive I've seen (she lets you own the rights to the prints so you can reprint photos, which most photographers won't let you do). I can't recommend her enough - flexible, professional, responds in a timely manner and just overall sweet. I'll update this once I have the final pix! Update: I cannot say enough good things about Andrea. She is one of the nicest and most genuine people I have ever met. She is patient. She is concerned about the quality and artistic nature of her photographs and her pictures show it. I am so happy with how our wedding photos came out and my whole family was thrilled to (and they said that she was nice). I would hire her again in a heart beat. read more

Andrea was so amazing to work with. From the first time we met to the multiple emails and phone calls. She was there in any way we needed and gave us such amazing advice. She was so creative and so easy to work with. She made taking numerous photographs for our wedding fun and natural and beautiful! She honestly is so sweet and made you feel like you have know her forever. Highly Recommended! read more

Andrea did an amazing job for my daughters senior portraits. She is super friendly, very professional, and quick to respond to email! We'll definitely be back later this year for another photo project we have in mind! I highly recommend Andrea for the local shots too because just the right spots to go in the Carmichael area! read more

I highly recommend Andrea owner of Bucheli Photography. She was able to make time for us last minute during the hussle and bussle of the Christmas season. She was quick to respond and answer all of my questions. She was able to see opportunities for some great photo shoots. She is very talented. She made it easy to be natural and enjoy the whole experience. She also gave us the chance to get great pictures with our family. Thank you for everything. read more

Andrea and her assistant were more than amazing!! We could not have asked for better photographers! Andrea was more than happy to answer any and all questions we had in a quick and timely manner. She came out to our wedding venue a few days prior to our wedding (at no additional charge) to scope out the premises for potential picture locations and to get a feel for the lighting for the timing of our wedding. Andrea was so personable and listened to each and every request I had. She worked well with our other wedding vendors and stayed the whole day (2:30 or so until the end of our reception..10:30). The pictures turned out so beautiful...nearly 850 photos!! She captured everything! The album she created was breathtaking (I can't stop looking at it). Friends and family can't stop raving about the album as well as the photo quality. I will definitely be using her again in the future. HIGHLY RECOMMEND! You won't be disappointed! -Jasmine & Jeremy (09.24.16) read more

Andrea just took our wedding pictures. Everyone commented on how great she was to work with. I was actually running late because my hair dresser got lost, and she was totally calm, took the time to take detail shots, and then got right into pictures once I was ready. Despite me being late, she got us finished right on time. She had never been to our venue, but took the time to drive down and preview it before our wedding so she had an idea of where she wanted to shoot our pictures. I am absolutely certain that our pictures will be beautiful. read more

Andrea is so great!! She is the most talented, nicest professional photographer ever, and is able to keep a wedding going smoothly and on time which is super important when you're under time constraints. She took gorgeous pictures of the venue and of us and we couldn't be more pleased! We were so happy to have her around on our wedding day! read more

We had Andrea shoot our wedding at Saratoga Springs in June 2013. She was hands-down amazing. She was really good at guiding us through the pre-ceremony photo shoot and captured the evening perfectly. I was amazed at how she took photos through out the night and didn't even notice she was there. We received our photos just one week later, and they were amazing. She's super easy to work with on the business end. The contract is simple, and the pricing is a la carte. No need to be pushed into packaged deals or deal with the customer service issues of larger companies. read more

Andrea was so friendly and awesome to work with. She incorporated a diverse array of shots that came out perfectly. I wanted some professional shoots for my new real estate business. Now I have great photos to work with for marketing material. Thanks again Andrea, I will gladly send people your way. read more
