We wholeheartedly recommend Arjay as a wedding photographer. My husband and I are not particularly…read morecomfortable in front of the camera and knew we would need guidance to avoid feeling stiff or awkward. From the very beginning, Arjay put us at ease. During our engagement session, he provided clear, thoughtful direction while keeping the atmosphere light and relaxed. His sense of humor helped us loosen up, resulting in candid photos that truly captured our personalities.  Arjay was also instrumental in helping our wedding day run smoothly. While planning our itinerary, he went above and beyond the role of photographer, offering a detailed timeline and helpful insight into what to expect throughout the day. On the wedding day itself, he ensured that our wedding party and families were organized and present for each shot.  He also collaborated seamlessly with our videographer, working so cohesively that you would have thought they were part of the same team. Arjay's professionalism, organization and ability to make us feel comfortable made all the difference, and we are so grateful for the beautiful memories he captured.

We booked Arjay for our March 2025 wedding and highly recommend him!…read more My wife actually came across Arjay's work before we even had a wedding date set--and he was the very first photographer she bookmarked. His fine art photography style is elegant, timeless, and exactly what we envisioned. As soon as our date was confirmed, she reached out right away. After our initial consultation, we instantly knew he was the right choice for us. His package offerings are very reasonable--ours included an engagement session, a second shooter, and flexible options for coverage. He's also incredibly helpful, communicative, and full of thoughtful advice when it comes to planning your day. During our engagement session, he made us feel totally at ease in front of the camera (which is no small feat!) and turned the shoot into a genuinely fun experience. When we received our gallery, we were blown away by both the quality and the sheer number of beautiful photos. It confirmed that we made the perfect choice in hiring him. On our wedding day, Arjay helped keep everything running smoothly. He followed our timeline, captured all the moments we requested (and so many more), and worked seamlessly with our videographer. He truly went above and beyond, and the moments he captured are ones we'll treasure for a lifetime. On top of his incredible talent, Arjay is just a wonderful, easygoing person who's a joy to be around. We're so grateful for his artistry and professionalism--thank you again, Arjay!

We're so grateful to have these memories forever.

Wow, Yelp really came through again! I was searching for a photographer for our engagement photos…read moreand Google didn't bring Vinh up, but Yelp did, and I'm so grateful. From the very beginning, Vinh was incredibly informative, professional, and genuinely friendly. His communication is exceptional. I don't think he ever took more than 24 hours to respond to my requests. My fiancé and I are not photogenic people. We've never done a photoshoot together and honestly i'm a bit awkward. But Vinh made us feel completely comfortable right away. He guided us through poses, gave helpful suggestions on outfit colors to match our location, and even recommended spots that perfectly matched the vision I had in mind. The actual shoot turned out to be so much fun! We were laughing, relaxed, and really just enjoying ourselves. We did a 2 hour engagement photoshoot and we chose Muir Woods and Mount Tamalpais as our locations. And the best part? The photos were ready in less than five days! The turnaround time was so quick, and the quality of the photos completely exceeded our expectations. We honestly feel so lucky to have found Vinh. He captured everything we hoped for and more. I would be honored to have him as our wedding photographer! Fingers crossed, he'll be available !

Why would I willingly drive for over an hour with a 1 week old baby? Because her pictures speak for themselves. Check out her Instagram @theresaknightphotography ! She has a whole set up and method to the madness of taking newborn pictures. She made us feel comfortable, welcomed, and beautiful. She took the time to talk to us, did a ton of poses, and educated us on how/why she does things. Conversation was easy and created a stress-free environment.

Jessie has a rare gift: she makes you feel seen before she ever picks up the camera…read more I came to Luminous Space for personal branding photography, not entirely sure how to show up or what I wanted the images to say about me. Jessie held the whole thing with such steady presence that the uncertainty dissolved quickly. She asked the right questions, created real ease in the space, and then got out of the way and let the session breathe. The editing is exceptional. The final images are honest and alive, not overproduced. They look like me on my best day, which is exactly what this kind of work requires. If you are a founder, practitioner, or creative who needs photographs that actually carry your essence, Jessie is the real thing.

Buyer beware. The shoot went fine, but the photo I got out of it was not…read more First of all, note that she only releases *one* photo to you--one raw and one edited version! This is not at all clear from the website marketing, which states: * Photos Taken: 30-50 images * Retouched Images: 1 professionally edited photo (selected on-site) Apparently you also get only 1 raw image, though this is not stated. You have to immediately go through a lengthy three-phase process to choose that photo --no consulting with friends/partners. Okay, so maybe I should have found the fine print, but it turns out "professionally edited" means "created by AI." It generated an image that looks like a 25-year-old digital avatar of me, quite different from the original photo. The website also claims that "We offer 2 rounds of free revisions," but I have not received a response a week after asking for one. So, I'm using the raw image, which is fine.

This was one of the absolute worst experiences that I've had with a photo shoot. I will describe…read morethe situation from the beginning. I wanted a fun photoshoot with an abundance of flowers. I reached out to her and she assured me that she understood my vision and would be able to deliver. I paid (and even tipped, regrettably) prior to the shoot, per her policy. During our initial conversation, I stated that I wanted a lot of flowers and I would buy them from a local flower shop. Kyra insisted that I would not need to purchase flowers because the photoshoot was after Mother's day and a wedding and she would be able to get them for free. I took her word for it and did not make arrangements. I tried calling her on several occasions leading up to the photoshoot but she did not answer my calls. I began to get worried, but I figured it was because she was busy. The night before the photo shoot, she told me she could not secure any flowers....the night before the photoshoot. When I suggested changing the date of the shoot to allow me to make alternative arrangements, she declined. I did not want to make a fuss, so I scrambled and found a place where I could buy several bouquets. So, on the day of the shoot, she began taping the flowers that I bought to the wall. She said that we only needed to tape a few because she would photoshop the tape out and cover the wall with the flowers via photoshop. I waited over three weeks for the photos. When I inquired about when I would receive them, she stated that she was sick and had to send them to a company to be edited. About two days later, I received the photos. Wow. They were completely unedited - the flowers did not cover the entire wall, the tape was not edited out of the photos from the flowers, and my actual face/appearance had no retouching. I was so confused. I revisited the contract and it explicitly stated "40 Fully Retouched Images." None were retouched. She tried to cover herself by lying in an email, stating that she only does "small retouches"/ contrary to the contract. So, she offered a few insufficient options to make an attempt to rectify the situation - she said I can 1. pay more money for each image to be edited (even though the contract states fully retouched images) 2. Use her standard retouching? 3. a 50% refund with no images. I even tried to make it easier on her and offered to obtain the raw images and I would pay an actual professional to edit them. She stated that she does not allow her images to be edited by others, which is contrary to the fact that she sent my photos to be edited by another professional, who did not understand the assignment. So, after all of that - I had to wait yet another 2 weeks for subpar images. To add salt to the wound, she even had the nerve to use MY image on her email marketing campaign. I highly recommend looking elsewhere - because you will not receive images according to your vision, there will be a lack of communication, and you will wait 3+ weeks for unedited images.
