After our first conversation,…read morewe clicked with her right away--she made us feel super comfortable and had so many fun, creative ideas for the shoot. She was involved in even the tiniest details, from choosing themes and coordinating outfits to helping me pick my nail color, which honestly made me feel like I could completely trust her. She even spent an entire day on calls with us while we were shopping and sent over links for things we might need. We told her we wanted a natural, candid shoot--nothing too posed or cliché--and she totally got it. She found some beautiful fall-themed spots and captured exactly the vibe we were going for. On the day of the shoot, she made sure we felt relaxed and comfortable the whole time. Radhika truly goes above and beyond, and her passion for what she does really shows. We couldn't have asked for a better experience!

I chose him based on his great reviews, reasonable cost, proximity to the event, and especially on his beautiful online pictures.

April and May were eventful times for us because of Mother's Day, our 15th wedding anniversary…read more(YIKES), and our son turning 1-year old. Also, both of us got fully vaccinated from COVID-19. It was a good a time as any to book a local photographer to help capture some memories via family photos. I did rely on Yelp to do research on a few places. Many baby photographers only accept newborns. They're able to use all sorts of cute props and arrange the baby in the cutest poses. Newborns are easier to sedate and often have their eyes closed. For a 1-year old, it can get trickier since they are a lot more active and easily distracted or irritable. Other photographers also charge you based on the number of photos - say 8, 10, or 15 and then surcharges for more. I finally decided on Ricky Wong's (W Photography) since his prices were reasonable and we got to keep all the photos from a 45-minute session. He suggested we do an outdoor shoot at nearby Dublin Heritage Park and Museum. That park has lots of historical buildings and provides a rustic background for photos. We actually had to reschedule the shoot the first time since the weather all of a sudden got windy and the baby was upset - probably too late in the day and hangry. We finally managed to complete the shoot the second time, earlier in the day with better weather and a more cooperative baby. We managed to get over 50 images after 2-weeks processing. Most of the time, our son was able to look in direction of the camera, though I wish he smiled more. I recommend W Photography for your general photography needs. Although they don't necessarily specialize in baby photos, they did an excellent job with lighting and selection of poses and backdrops. Our son managed to make it through most of the shoot and got slightly irritable only at the end. Do bring your own toys and noisemakers for distractions if you plan on a family outdoor shoot with a toddler!

Looking for a wedding photographer?? Look no further, and just contact Anna!…read more We absolutely loved all the photos that she captured for our special day at The Gardens at Heather Farm. She was easy going and kept the photography process simple and fun. She worked with our tight schedule without any stress, even when some things didn't go according to plan (ie. people not showing up at the right spot/time). We truly appreciated how prepared and creative she was, knowing what photos to take and where to take them. And whenever there was a random group photo being taken by a cell phone, she would magically appear and take an even better photo for us. Amazing! We will definitely reach out to her if we ever need photography services again. Thank you so much, Anna!

If I could give Anna more than 5 stars I would because she deserves it!…read more We worked with Anna to do our engagement photos and for the day of our wedding. For the engagement photos, this was back in November 2023. She was already there when we arrived. Zach and I both felt so awkward and nervous since this was our first photo shoot, but Anna worked her magic and did her best to help us relax for the entire session. She's also a dog person so I was overjoyed that our dog was able to join us in these photos. After we saw the amazing engagement photos, I knew I had to secure her for our wedding day. Her response time is great as well; she will let you know when she is out of town and how long/when to expect a response from her. Our wedding was in mid-July 2024. Anna was there early again to scope out the wedding venue and checked in with both Zach and I the entire event. When I was having trouble walking in my dress, she was quick on her feet to help me. We had a long list of photos we wanted with family and she was able to organize everyone in a timely fashion. We only saw a snippet of the wedding photos, but I already know that the rest will turn out wonderfully. Anna is super friendly, approachable and such a sweet and kind person. She has a professional demeanor that is also very open, honest and fun. Working with her both times has been a wonderful experience. I highly recommend Anna for anyone that wants their special moments captured. I look forward to working with her in possible future photo shoots :) Thank you so much Anna! You are amazing!!

Where do I start?…read more Karen is such a hidden jewel of a photographer. Our pastor/officiant recommended her after previously working with her on another project. From the onset, she was extremely responsive and communicative in both texts and over the phone. Karen worked with us on our "shotgun wedding", which was a daunting three-part series: (1) an outdoor wedding on a point along San Francisco / San Pablo Bay (with fog and wind compounding fast-changing temperatures and lighting conditions); (2) an indoor lunch reception with lots of moving parts in a relatively packed space (with poor lighting and limited angles); (3) back outdoors again, but this time, on the range with gunfire surrounding her while she's handling the camera. We also didn't keep the pressure off before the wedding: my best friend and "Man of Honor" is a professional photographer as well... he purposely asked to NOT photograph the wedding as he wanted to participate and be part of it, so Karen had to deal with me as a process engineer (nearly everything was metered out, with timed intervals down to the minute) and Mark with his technical background performing assessments. Armed with a four-page laundry list of shots and a Pinterest account as our Image Board, we shared the shots that were "absolute musts" and planned a solid 5-6 hour day. Karen delivered! She captured every shot we asked for. She also captured the playfulness, the solemnity, the posed portraits, and the candid interactions between my husband, my best friends, and our guests. Though the wedding was on Friday last week, we received the photos this evening (a Monday, three days later) and just spent the last hour grinning and laughing at the wonderful photos. Where Karen really shines is her outdoor photos. I can't recommend her enough.

She was a real baby whisperer and was able to tame my baby's fussiness so well. We never felt rushed with time and the atmosphere she had a very calming vibe. Thank you for the beautiful photos we love them!

If you're looking for a wedding photographer in the Bay Area, we cannot recommend Toan Photography…read moreenough! We absolutely loved working with Toan and his team. From the very beginning, they were incredibly knowledgeable, talented, professional, and genuinely easy to work with. Planning a DIY wedding comes with plenty of stress, but Toan was hands down our easiest and favorite vendor throughout the entire process. Neither of us is naturally comfortable in front of a camera, but Toan has an incredible eye and knows exactly how to direct and pose you. He gave us simple, clear guidance that made us feel relaxed and confident, and somehow made even the least photogenic person look like a natural model. The entire experience felt fun instead of awkward. His photography speaks for itself. The photos are absolutely stunning and capture every moment so beautifully. His work is so strong that the images barely need any editing--they're timeless, natural, and simply breathtaking. Every photo feels like a work of art, and we know we'll treasure them for the rest of our lives. We also really appreciated how honest, flexible, and accommodating Toan was throughout the process. He frequently offered packages and special deals, which we were incredibly grateful for. Booking, scheduling, billing, and communication were always seamless, and we never ran into a single issue. On our wedding day, Toan and his team made us feel completely at ease during one of the biggest and most emotional days of our lives. They were calm, organized, and knew exactly how to keep everything running smoothly while capturing every special moment. His craftsmanship is worth every penny. After working with him, we completely understand why he's so highly rated throughout the Bay Area. If you're considering Toan Photography, don't hesitate--you'll be investing in an amazing experience and memories you'll cherish forever. Thank you, Toan and your team, for exceeding every expectation!

I came across Kree's Yelp page because of how close she was, but what really stood out was her website--the caliber and vibrancy of her photos were incredible. I knew right away she'd be a perfect fit for capturing my niece, both in her cap and gown and in her super colorful prom dress (which I was confident Kree could do justice!). From the moment I reached out, Kree was super responsive and easy to communicate with. The contract was simple and straightforward, pricing was fair and the breakdown of her packages were awesome. and she helped us agree on a time and location that worked perfectly, not far from our house either, which was a huge plus. On the day of the shoot, Kree arrived right on time and immediately made my niece feel comfortable. Since it was my niece's first time being professionally photographed, I appreciated how Kree guided her with poses and gave her direction to bring out her best angles. She was friendly, patient, and made the whole experience fun. We received the edited photos about two weeks later, and they were amazing, better than I could have imagined. Kree truly captured my niece's personality and the significance of the moment. Highlights for me: super responsive communication, an easy-to-understand contract, a convenient location, her friendly demeanor, and of course, the beautiful final photos. Thanks so much Kree!!!

Our 20th anniversary session in 2023 was unforgettable--it genuinely felt like getting married all over again. Pooja planned every detail with such care and intention. The entire process, from location scouting to outfit guidance, was so thorough that the shoot itself flowed naturally and resulted in some of the most beautiful photos we've ever taken. More recently, Pooja did a senior session for my son, and she made him feel completely at ease from the moment we arrived. She has a true talent for bringing out someone's authentic personality. Even our golden doodle adores her--Pooja somehow always gets the perfect shots with pets! She has also taken my professional headshots, and I've received so many compliments from colleagues. The photos capture my personality perfectly, and several people have already asked who my photographer was. Pooja is incredibly professional, warm, and meticulous. Every bit of her planning translates directly into high-quality images and a delightful experience. She has set the bar exceptionally high and is truly my first and only choice for photos. Highly recommend!

We didn't get to choose this photographer, it was through my child's after school program. The…read morephoto itself was decent, but I found the process to be pretty unusual and unprofessional. I've done a lot of professional family photos and this is hands down the highest price per image (unedited, that would have cost more apparently) I've ever paid. $40 for one image is pretty darn high. On top of it, we were required to put $20, non refundable, down because the photographer was very worried we'd remove the watermark. Watermarking is standard, I get that. Usually its a clear colored name of the business and that's it. Lol, this image is SO watermarked we were all laughing. You can barely see what the picture is that you're buying. I'm talking every color of the rainbow ginormous letters that cover the entire photo. It's not physically possible to remove this watermark, why on earth did we need to pay a deposit for this? I'm not personally one to remove watermarks anyway, but it'd be nice to be able to see the image I'm paying for.
