Sarah was fantastic with my mom and the children. She is very personable and made the session fun. The photos were all fabulous and ready in a very timely manner.

When we did our engagement photos she made my fiancé and I feel extremely comfortable. We were laughing and having such a good time. Our photos turned out perfect! I am looking forward to her shooting our wedding! Okay, I know I already gave her a 5 Star review for our engagement photos but then she shot my wedding and I am completely speechless. Danielle is so genuine and her love for weddings really shows. She barely knows my husband and I but I felt like she had known us for years and possibly enjoyed photographing our wedding just as much as the guest who attended it. When she released my preview photos they were amazing and completely stunning. I truly didn't believe the photos could get any better. Once she sent me all them I was completely shocked! They captured very moment of my wedding as if it was a fairytale. If I had enough wall space I would literally have every photo printed and hung. DJ IS A MUST HIRE!!! Thank you so much Danielle for capturing the best day of my life. I truly couldn't have asked or even dreamt of better photos that I can look back on for the rest of my life!

From the very beginning, Alison took the time to get to know us, understand our vision, and learn what was most important to us. She truly listened, and then executed everything more perfectly than we could have imagined. When we finally sat down to look through our wedding gallery, we were completely blown away. Every photo is absolutely beautiful. One of the things we appreciated most was how Alison and Amy captured not only all of the big moments, but also the countless little in-between moments that we either weren't together for or didn't even realize were happening. Looking through the gallery allowed us to experience our wedding day from a whole new perspective and brought us right back to every emotion we felt. The photos tell the story of our day so naturally and beautifully, and we'll treasure them for the rest of our lives. We are beyond grateful for the care, talent, and attention to detail that Alison and Amy put into capturing our wedding.

She gave helpful prompts to guide us during the photo session yet let us be ourselves at the same time. I can't stop looking at the photos she took. They are truly remarkable!

What a great sport! I doubt many photographers would do that, on top of having great skills. I can't thank her enough for helping us our special day, and for capturing it all so well.

Nirav's talent is unmatched and he will always make you look and feel great during the photo shoot and entire event. Thank you, Nirav, you are one of a kind!

Summary of my rather long post: Find an excuse to work with Nirav. Seriously. You will not be…read moredisappointed. If you want the longer version, keep reading... :) So, just over a year and a half ago, my (now) husband and I got engaged and I knew right away that photography would be one of the most important elements of our wedding. Almost as soon as we got engaged, I began the hunt for the perfect photographer and we luckily stumbled across Nirav's work. We were immediately enamored with it, how he is able to capture and perfect seemingly peaceful moments framed and executed in a way only a practiced fine art photographer can. We loved his ability to fall into the background and capture sweet and candid moments of his subjects. So mere weeks after we were engaged, we booked Nirav, and my husband and I are SO glad we did. A few months before our wedding, we met Nirav for our engagement shoot and he immediately put us at ease - we had never had photos taken of us before so it took a little getting used to. By the end of the session, Nirav genuinely seemed like a friend we had known for far longer than a couple hours. Not to mention the pictures came out amazingly - they not only make us look good, but they also beautifully captured the scenery around us. Fast forward to the day of our wedding. Nirav was patient, diligent, and knew exactly what he was doing. As you can imagine, weddings can be hectic and Nirav and the second shooter he brought with him that day (Amari) kept things running smoothly and did not add to the fray. When we received our photos from the wedding, they were AMAZING. Truly, truly amazing. I literally teared up as I saw them for the first time. He was able to naturally and organically capture genuine moments between me and my husband, and of our families and guests. While we had several amazing vendors on the day of our wedding, Nirav was perhaps the best. We hope we can find another occasion to work with him in the future!

We were nervous about the shoot as parents to a 2 week old, but Lindsey was a pro and took care of us and our babe.

It was so relaxing that dad fell asleep in the comfy chairs as Lindsey worked her magic! And the best part - the photos were beyond my wildest dreams. Cannot recommend Lindsey enough...she even made me look good 2 weeks post c section on zero sleep! Oh yes and she was Covid safe and even had snacks in her studio. She is officially our family photographer now.

She also worked with impressive efficiency, guiding each person through the session and helping them select their two favorite shots with calm professionalism and grace.

Most impressive of all was the turnaround time as Julie delivered the fully edited images in just two business days, far exceeding our expectations.

Really liking her style of photography, we scheduled a newborn photo session with Constance at the end of November with our two week old son. Constance was incredibly responsive and professional. Not only that, she is a baby photo whisperer - she had a bunch of helpful suggestions to help our time together go smoothly. She brought a whole bag of adorable outfits and props, and she was happy to let us choose some of our own outfits, too. For this session we decided to stay home and take photos around our house and yard, and they turned out beautifully. We are so pleased with these special keepsakes! Constance also made it easy to review the raw photo collection after the shoot, choose the ones we wanted, and deliver the final files all online. She also offers large size prints! In the future I'd love to do an on-location shoot with our son in the redwoods of Oakland. I already have ideas :) Thank you, Constance!
