I highly recommend Elizabeth Dixon Photography - one of the best family photographers I have seen,…read moreand affordable, too! I was finally able to have my first professional photo shoot with my family since my son was born, after years of battling cancer. I couldn't be happier with the results! I literally cried (tears of joy) when Elizabeth sent me the photos. I honestly wasn't sure if we were going to get any good shots. We took the photos right after Thanksgiving on a cold, windy day, and we were trying to wrangle a 5-year-old, a dog, and a slightly fussy husband. Elizabeth was great to work with - she is friendly yet professional, provides direction in a gentle way, and is creative and detail-oriented. She assured me that she got some good photos after our one-hour shoot, and in the end, we had over 50 to choose from! Elizabeth's photos made for my best Christmas card to date. I will treasure them always!

She has a very laid back attitude when she is working an event, but at the same time is very proactive about reminding you about milestones in case you forget in the planning phase. She came with us on our venue walk through to plan where to do the portrait shots and we were able to really maximize our short time at the venue. She gets along great with other vendors and one thing that was extremely important to me, she stays out of the guests way. I hate going to weddings where all you can see during the ceremony is the photographer, and this definitely isn't the case with Andi. And did I mention that she takes great shots? She took some wonderful candid shots of family members that are normally extremely camera shy, which I will treasure forever. She does excellent work in color and black and white, for reasonable prices and gives you digital negatives to everything. Of all of my vendors who helped on my wedding, Andi was the best!

My wife and I were looking for someone with a photojournalistic approach and who could capture the emotion and details of the day. We first came across Andi's work on her website and immediately loved her style. Unlike other photographers we considered, Andi's work was consistent and we loved her entire wedding portfolios and not just a few great pics from many different weddings. Not only did we love Andi's work, but we also loved Andi's easy going personality and responsiveness. Since we were planning our Napa wedding from NYC, we appreciated her initiative in visiting our site prior to the wedding and even had ideas already for ceremony, family and couple pictures! Andi has a great eye and was successful in capturing intimate and beautiful moments. On our one year anniversary we returned to the site of our wedding to relive a bit of the dream but nothing provides us with the same emotional satisfaction as watching Andi's slide show. Thank you Andi for making our wedding more beautiful than we could have imagined.

I reached out to John for some help updating my default professional headshot, and really enjoyed…read morethe comprehensive experience he provided me. We went to 4 different outdoor spots around his studio with distinct backdrops, and for each one we iterated on poses and expressions, and he even picked up on some of my facial idiosyncracies in the process. We then went back into his studio and essentially conducted a realtime review session - viewing all the recently captured shots, flagging ones we liked, and ultimately discussing them until we settled on 2 winners. He then applied some minor edits within Lightroom and within 40 minutes from my initial arrival, I had 2 really sharp headshots which will serve me well for the next 5-7 years. John is incredibly personable and also immediately put me at ease. It is easy to feel stiff or self-concious during something like this, and he made it feel like a real partnership. Highly recommend him and his services. Plus the guy is just fun to chat with.

I actually found Jennifer after searching online for photographers in San Francisco and her work immediately stood out. Her style felt fresh and unconventional -- more documentary and journalistic than traditional -- and I especially loved her use of black and white photography, which was a big reason we chose her. The day started at our hotel, where she jumped between our separate rooms to capture my wife and me getting ready. Before she had even gotten to our rooms, she had already scouted the perfect location for our first look. The moment was absolutely incredible, and she handled everything; we didn't have to do a thing but follow her lead. That professional confidence continued at City Hall. She has a masterful familiarity with the building. She took full control of the shoot, guiding us as she told us exactly where to stand, how to pose, and where to move next so we could just relax and enjoy the moment. As a photographer myself, I really appreciated her confidence and professionalism. All we had to do was follow instructions and be present. She knows San Francisco City Hall inside and out -- the lighting, the angles, the timing, and the key locations that truly matter -- every shot felt deliberate and it showed. The technical skill here is top-notch-- the compositions were beautiful, the balance of each frame was spot-on, and her gorgeous color grading. We received around 300 images, and the quality is so consistent that I plan to print every last one of them in large format to ensure we have a permanent physical archive. When we received the final package, we were so touched -- she sent our photos on a beautiful USB drive along with printed images, some sweets, and other thoughtful details. It was the perfect finishing touch to a genuinely wonderful experience. If you're getting married at City Hall -- or anywhere in San Francisco -- Jennifer Michelson / A Girl and a Camera is exceptional. Thank you Jennifer! Laura and Junior.

We can't recommend Jennifer highly enough!

We've had annual family photo sessions with Hilary for the past five years (and even two sessions…read morein one year!), and she has been phenomenal every single time. She's wonderful with our kids--whether it was a newborn, a fussy toddler, or now more cooperative school-aged kids, she's been able to capture beautiful moments through every stage. One year my younger daughter was especially shy and grumpy about photos, but you'd never know it from the gorgeous images Hilary delivered. She's also great with pets and even got our dog to "smile" at the camera for a few shots this year! We included my parents in a session one year, and Hilary handled the larger family group seamlessly. She also has a great eye for locations, whether it's a tried-and-true spot or somewhere new, and she always makes the most of the setting. On top of that, her pricing is very reasonable, especially since you get to keep all the images from your session, and she's always prompt with delivery. Hilary makes family photos stress-free and fun, and the results are consistently stunning--we look forward to working with her every year.

She gave all direction of movement, yet the pictures came out so authentically us. I have no idea how she did it. It was her first time shooting at our venue, and we didn't have a wedding coordinator. So she had to both mark out all the couple-only shots and manage time for our friend and family pics within 90min (the reservation cap for our venue). She did this all while making us happy and comfortable. Book her immediately, you'll be glad you did!

We worked with Alina by sharing our preferred photo spots and some inspo photos to communicate a "vibe" we liked. Alina offered some great new ideas, too. On the wedding day, Alina managed to capture the magic of all the details -- candid shots of our friends and family, snapshots of the venue and florals, and more. We had such a blast looking at the album; it was like reliving the day! The true joy, however, was sharing our photos with our family. They shared that the pictures were show-stopping and have repeatedly asked for prints for themselves! (Lots of, "and your photographer was just incredible, truly.") They cannot believe how spectacular our photos turned out, and we have to agree. Our jaws were on the floor looking through the album! Shooting with Alina was comfortable, too. She is such a sweet soul and I only hope I have a chance to work with her again in the future! Thanks, Alina, for capturing our special day -- so glad we can return to these pictures to remember it!
