He is a total professional, arrived early with a game plan and actively solicited our input through the process while guiding effortlessly read more

We could not have asked for a better wedding photographer! Dawid was professional, creative, and so much fun to work with. He captured all of the special moments of our day perfectly, and we love our wedding photos so much. Dawid went above and beyond to make sure that we were happy with our photos. On the day of the wedding, he was organized and efficient, and made us feel comfortable. He has a real knack for capturing emotions and natural moments. Our wedding photos are full of joy, love, and laughter. We are so grateful to Dawid for capturing the memories of our special day in such a beautiful way. I highly recommend Dawid to anyone looking for a wedding photographer! read more

A true professional. If you are looking for a premium photo experience, this is your guy. We hired Dawid to do our engagement shoot a few weeks ago and he far exceeded expectations. From the beginning of the process, he was excellent at communication and allowed us the freedom to choose our location. We went with Ghirardelli Square, which is notoriously crowded on weekends. Nonetheless, Dawid was willing to accommodate our wishes and find the shots despite the crowd. We really had fun shooting with Dawid. He gave direction with posing which was a huge relief for me and my fiance. At the end of the session, we were both in such a great mood, and could not wait to see what he had captured. About a week later, we received our photographs and were blown away. We could not believe that was us. The way he composed the shots was so artistic. His editing style brought vibrant color to each image. There was diversity within the set of images: some wide-angle, some with movement, some fixed. The photographs have been unanimously loved by our families, friends, and ourselves. Thank you Dawid! You have a gift so we hope you continue to share it with the world. read more

Dawid took our family holiday photos and we are so in love! He was so professional, took Covid precautions, did beautiful work, and extremely quick turnaround time to receive our photos back. He did such a wonderful job, and we were beyond happy with our photos! We will definitely have him take our photos again in the future. read more

Dawid Bilski Photography - Event Photography Near Me

My wife and I were first introduced to Dawid's absolutely stellar work when he did the photography at my brothers wedding. When it was our turn to get married, it was a total no-brainer to hire him again. We worked with Dawid for our engagement shoot, engagement party, pre-wedding events, and main wedding event. Simply put, what he delivered is beyond magnificent. You would be hard pressed to find anyone who see's Dawid's work and isn't immediately in awe of how spectacular his photography is. However, the real magic can only be experienced when working with him and seeing him in action. Dawid pays the most incredible attention to every detail when shooting at a scene. He artfully composes every shot and does a great job directing his subjects to pose in natural ways that capture their energy and chemistry. Goes without saying, but if you're looking for a photographer to hire for any type of photo shoot, we would highly recommend going with Dawid. There is no doubt that the outcome will be anything less than phenomenal! read more

We went with Dawid for our engagement shoot and for our wedding day pictures and there hasn't been a single complaint. We fell in love with the pictures and were so happy with how beautifully they came out. Dawid captures all of our memories and made our big day come to life over and over again for us...best way to relive your wedding day is through pictures and videography. Dawid came with one other photographer and I wish I had paid the extra for one more person just so they had more coverage! You will not regret it! Dawid was quick with the editing and we had our pictures about three months after the wedding! Dawid is a great photographer and if you like the style of his photos then you will not regret going with him. His prices are also fair, especially for the Bay Area. And if you have any questions or concerns he will answer them quickly and promptly. There were also pictures I had saved on Pinterest that I wanted to recreate for myself and he was able to look at them and let me know which ones were possible. One was of a couple running across the San Francisco Golden Gate Bridge and guess what...I got to do exactly that!!! Take a look at the pictures attached!!! read more

Highly recommended (Dawid photographed our wedding in Summer 2018). Dawid was exceptional in communication and expectations before the wedding, phenomenal during the wedding in both dealing with family photos or other things that can be annoyingly challenging due to others, and the photos were all amazing. Very grateful and appreciative of the quality work and photos we received. read more

If Yelp had a thousand stars, that's what we would give Dawid. Dawid truly blew our minds this year with his exceptional work. We found him on Yelp early in the year while looking for photographers for our October wedding in Livermore. We were very drawn to his photographs because they exuded talent and had so much visual interest so we were over the moon when he not only agreed to work with our budget but even offered to throw in engagement photos. The engagement photo session was supposed to be one hour in SF but Dawid worked relentlessly with us for two hours, walking to multiple locations, and exploring different environments to create a stunning palette of photographs that we ended up falling so in love with and enlarging on canvass for the wedding! On the wedding day, Dawid was incredibly patient and professional despite our (well, the bride's) hiccups with running behind schedule. He had visited the venue before the wedding and done his research on the best locations for photos based on light around the time of the first look, ceremony, and reception. The photos turned out SO incredibly gorgeous. Our wedding looked absolutely magical through his lens. I've been highly recommending Dawid to everyone since our engagement photo session because of his high level of talent and professionalism. He's such a pleasure to work with and we can't wait for the next opportunity to hire him. Thank you again Dawid for capturing our memories so beautifully! read more

Dawid took our family photos last month. We scheduled an outdoor photo session, we had to postpone a few days because of the weather. Dawid was very flexible and quickly rescheduled. During the photoshoot he was great with our toddler. Even though we had some toddler tantrums we still got amazing photos and he did such a quick turn around to get the pictures back to us. 10/10 I would recommend especially to anyone doing a family shoot with kids! read more

After comparing about 10+ photographers, we decided to go with Dawid after looking at his gallery on his website and we couldn't be happier with his work. Also, it was a huge plus that he has experience in photographing Hindu weddings. We sort of planned the day of the wedding around the photo sessions and we have no regrets. Throughout the day, Dawid was very efficient with his time and researched the venue & lighting ahead of time so he knew where he had to be at any moment. He also had some backup locations we could use in case the lighting/weather didn't work out. Not only is he VERY good at what he does, he is just a GOOD dude. After meeting him for the first time, we both felt very comfortable around him. Leading up to the wedding. he was accommodating, responsive and very patient. If you're looking for a wedding photographer, save yourself some time and go with Dawid. You won't regret it! read more

Dawid's work is nothing short of amazing. Aside from his clear talent as a photographer and attention to detail, he was incredibly kind from start to finish including arriving at my bridal suite with a large smile at 8 AM in the morning. This is a strange thing to say but he has a very calm and relaxed demeanor which put my bridal party at ease when we were nervous in the morning getting ready. He is both organized with his vision for the photos as well as willing to work on the fly when things change rapidly throughout the hectic wedding day. He is also super responsive to emails and requests at all hours. My family and I are so impressed with his ability to capture all the precious moments and his attention to detail, from ceremony to reception. I highly encourage anyone to hire him for their special event. Thank you again Dawid! read more

Dawid went above and beyond to capture our special day. For both our engagement session and wedding day, he arrived early and stayed late to make sure we got everything we wanted and everything he recommended. He has a great eye and super easy and fun to work with. He's also extremely responsive. We are so happy with our photos and can't recommend Dawid enough! He is awesome! read more

Dawid was amazing to work with throughout our wedding process. From planning, to walkthroughs, the day of, and post production. He prides himself in providing beautiful and artistic pictures. His expertise with lighting shines in his ability to capture amazing photos in the most difficult lighting situations (a dark planetarium and indoor science museum). He helped work with us in making sure that we had our surprises for each other for a hilarious first look and focused on capturing great candids as requested. Also, as a brown filipina marrying into a white family... our colors were balanced!!! Cos let's be real...it's a thing! Thank you, Dawid!! read more

Dawid's work was nothing but exceptional! We booked him for our pre-wedding photoshoot after a friends recommendation, and we are so glad we did. Leading up to the day of the photoshoot, the communication was great, and everything was well planned and organized. On the day of, he utilized every minute of our 2 hour session and continued to take photos even after our session was over. You can really tell he loves what he does and it shows once you receive your photos! The pictures couldn't have been better! I highly recommended him read more

Dawid is a wonderful photographer and professional. We hired him for our engagement photoshoot at several locations in San Francisco. He suggested a unique location for us that was a fantastic backdrop for our photos. Dawid was friendly, kind, and relaxed during the entire shoot and helped us feel at ease and not rushed. Moreover, he was flexible and accommodating with timing and prompt with communication and turning around the photos in the next week. The photos themselves were truly stunning and of the highest quality - my fiance and I, and our family and friends absolutely love them. Overall, Dawid is an exceptional photographer and we cannot recommend him enough. My (soon to be) wife and I can't wait to work with him in the future. read more

We hired Dawid for our engagement photoshoot. He was super friendly and patient. We loved the pictures. All the pics were given before the time frame he gave us. Our pictures got featured in maharaniweddings.com We were so happy with the photos that we hired Dawid for our wedding day. The wedding shoot started at 4.30am. He was on time for the shoot looking fully fresh and excited for the shoot. The wedding shoot was more than 12 hours long. He was so focused in shooting that didn't care about food or water . We had to literally force him to eat or drink something. He was very patient and flexible the whole day. I would definitely recommend Dawid and his team to my family and friends. I have never seen somone so much dedicated to his work and on top being so down to earth. If anyone needs a photographer who is excellent at his work and on top will work as a team with your videographer/cinematographer please have Dawid for your big day;) read more

Dawid Bilski Photography - Excellent shoot..Highly recommended - Event Photography Near Me

Purchased a Living Social Special and have no regrets! Dawid was friendly, professional, easy to work with, and on time. We had originally booked a Sunday to take photos at a park in Castro Valley, but it was raining and gloomy. Dawid texted us that we should re-book, so we selected another Sunday and took our photos at Lake Merritt in Oakland. Booking was easy with Dawid and he spent longer than an hour with us making sure that we had enough photos. Within a week, as promised he posted our photos on his website and I love them! I am now just waiting for the CD images. I would definitely recommend a photo shoot with Dawid. I will be booking another session with him in a year or so. Thanks Dawid! read more

Love Love Dawid!!! He is an amazing person and photographer. My husband and I had an amazing time. Dawid is really patient, professional, he is is really creative and loves what he does that why he is so perfect. Our pictures look AMAZING. Thanks you very very much Dawid. :) read more

Me and my wife had to hire a bunch of photographers this past year for different occasions as it was our wedding and lot of events were at different locations. But the pictures and results we got with Dawid were the most awesome one! You can see that he just loves his job and makes us very comfortable while he is at it. Dawid gave us 200% dedication as he climbed benches, sat on sand and literally rolled on a busy road in the process of taking a perfect shot for us! And the results are of course out of this world. Whenever we show his pictures to any of our family and friends, the second thing after getting super impressed is they definitely ask who was this damn photographer! Used his pictures on my Save the Date, Invitation card and our friends even had some big blown posters made out of it during our wedding. Also he handed us all our 200-odd images after post-processing just within a week's time. All in all a very awesome experience and I will totally recommend this person to anyone and everyone! Thanks Dawid. Cheers!! read more

Dawid Bilski Photography - Sachin & Madhumita Pre-Wedding Shoot by Dawid Bilski - Event Photography Near Me

We had a great experience with Dawid. My fiancé and I wanted to have a photo shoot in Yosemite Valley. Dawid went above and beyond to cover all the highlights in the valley, and then some more. He was very professional and it was easy working with him. We also had our pet with us, and he was generous enough to get some great shots with the kitten. read more

Dawid is amazing! He was so easy and fun to work with. My wedding venue was horrible day of but I'm so happy that Dawid still got so many amazing pictures of us. I had a million bridesmaids and of course we weren't ready on time so I was so nervous that we wouldn't have a lot of pictures that I liked. When Dawid sent me my galley I cried!!! I was so happy and impressed. read more

Dawid is on time, friendly, professional, and uber patient. He did a family photo shoot with my dogs and boy did he bring his patient hat. Dawid was greay through outfit changes, dog tempers and our crazy visions. Dawid was great at suggesting locations and poses. We got great shots with old cars, vineyards, overall beautiful scenery. Our shoot was Sunday and we got to view the photos today, where else do you get a 1 - 2 day turn around? Simply put Dawid was awesome and our pictures turned out amazing! I couldn't be more happy with the results. We will definitely use him again and again. If you want a sure thing for your engagment, wedding, family photo shoot you want to meet dawid. read more

Dawid Bilski Photography - One of Dawid's visions for our family! - Event Photography Near Me

Hands down, Dawid is the best! My wife and I had the privilege of working with Dawid for our wedding and engagement photos and we couldn't be more happy with the results. He has a great eye and makes taking pictures very easy. The biggest problem we had was selecting which pictures we were going to put on our save the date card or get made big to hang in the house because there were so many great shots! Every location was amazing and every idea helped us feel more and more comfortable. If you hire Dawid you will be extremely happy and if you don't then you've made your first mistake of planning your big day! He turned around the photos very quickly and we love them all. Thank you Dawid- Carlos and Tatiana read more

I absolutely LOVE Dawid and his work..simply amazing!!! My fiancé and I took our engagement photoshoot with him this past October. We both had never done a professional photoshoot before and were nervous on how to pose and where to take the pictures. Dawid recommended a beautiful winery I had never been before right near our homes in Livermore! He was great at helping us with poses and holding our props in different ways, and captured many natural moments as well when we laughed and looked at each other. The pictures came out so gorgeous! Dawid had a wedding booked and was really busy, but he promised to provide us with proofs within a week (which we thought was crazy fast). He actually sent them even earlier s and mailed a CD as well! He was so easy going and flexible, really made it so comfortable to work with him. His quality of work speaks for it all in his pictures check out his website if you don't believe me! We got so many compliments on our photos and have many friends asked for his information. I am very picky about my pictues but I can say his work is flawless and he is an amazing artist that captures beautiful shots! I cannot wait to work with Dawid on our wedding events next year!! read more

I had a great experience working with Dawid on a recent photo shoot. I contacted him late in the week and asked to meet on a Saturday. He was very flexible with scheduling on short notice and met me where I wanted my photos made. During the shoot he offered a variety of ideas on poses, locations, lighting, etc. He was also very open to different ideas that I had and accommodated my requests. I strongly recommend Dawid Bilski as a photographer since he is experienced, but also youthful, so he'll bring plenty of creativity to your project. Even though he still had other projects going on during the weekend, he had my photos uploaded for me to view and sent me a zip file of images by Monday afternoon. This quick turnaround was very much appreciated. read more

Dawid is the best photographer!! He is so great to work with and I highly recommend him!! He took breath taking pictures at my wedding, and a year later took amazing maternity pictures!! I love my maternity pictures, and everyone at my baby shower did too!! It was such a special time in my life and I am so glad I have these amazing pictures to look back on!! Thank you so much Dawid for your time and patience with this photo shoot and for doing such a great job! Michael and I look forward to working with Dawid in the near future for our family portrait!! read more

He did a wonderful job as our wedding photographer. He was very professional. Would highly recommend.

I purchased a 1 hr. photo session on Living Social in early March and thought I give it a try. I intended to do a maternity photo session but I didn't contact Dawid until the beginning of April because I didn't get to go on Maternity leave until early April. And due to Dawid's popularity he was booked for April & May. So, I would suggest to book him early! We end up doing a family photo session in June instead. The weather was beautiful that day at Hayward's Japanese Gardens but just a bit too hot for someone from Daly City. Lol! Dawid is very punctual so don't be late because he's very popular with his schedule. We were running a little late because you know how it is when you have 2 kids. When we got started my 3 year old decided to run and hide. My one month old was sleeping most of the session. I got a little worried because we didn't have a lot of time left. Dawid was really patient with us! He had more patience than I did. You really need a photographer like Dawid when it comes to any kind of photo session. He's really good with finding the perfect spot to take pictures. Even though we didn't have a lot of time but Dawid was able to capture a lot of great pictures! We love the pictures!! I showed the pictures to my family and they thought it was a photographer for a magazine! I would recommend Dawid without any hesitation! He's a really nice guy and great to work with. Now I know why he was booked in April & May! He's just awesome! read more

Dawid was recommended by a family friend and did a wonderful job photographing our wedding ceremony and reception at Oceano Hotel in HMB, and doing a special photoshoot with us at a nearby location during our cocktail hour. The quality of Dawid's equipment and brilliant colors of his photos were truly impressive. He and his assistant did a great job capturing the important moments in our ceremony and reception. However, I think his staged photographs from our photoshoot at Montara and Moss Beaches really blew us away. They are breathtaking pictures and he really took his time getting all the angles and lighting just right. We were also impressed that Dawid was willing to spend a few hours with us a month before our wedding to do a walkthrough of all the wedding locations and to scout the photoshoot backdrops with us at several different beaches. He was thoughtful and patient with his advice and the photos turned out great. Finally, I want to emphasize that Dawid was much more reasonably priced than most of the photographers we considered in the Bay Area, and we were very happy with our choice! read more

Dawid was amazing in every way! He was on time, professional, and very accommodating, especially after I changed the location on him several times. We did a family photo with our 11 month old daughter and anyone with young children knows how difficult it can be to get them to cooperate. Dawid was very very patient, gave great direction throughout the entire shoot for poses and locations, and also listened to our ideas and wishes. He got back to us in LESS THAN A WEEK (during busy wedding season!) with AMAZING photo proofs, better than anything we hoped for. His photos really were astonishing. Our only regret is that we didn't know of Dawid Bilski Photography sooner (i.e. for our wedding). An all around wonderful experience! read more

Dawid was a guest at my daughters wedding in August 2012. I saw him taking pictures at the wedding, but did not know he was a professional photographer. All I can say it we were so happy he took some photos at my daughters wedding. Regardless of having our own photographer, he took some absolutely beautiful photos at her wedding and got some fantastic shots. We would highly recommend Dawid as a professional photographer. He photos were absolutely beautiful!!! Most memorable photos taken by him that day that are truly special and very photo perfect!!! Cindy read more

I bought Dawid's photo session on LivingSocial and I am so glad I did. We got our family photoshoot done near a lake in Livermore. Eventhough the location was little far, Dawid was nice enough to accommodate. Capturing good images of an infant and a toddler is always a challenge. Dawid was extremely patient with kids and managed to get some stunning shots. He has a real eye for framing and good timing to get the right expressions on everyone. The deal was for one hour but Dawid spent extra time to make sure I get what I wanted. He delivered the final edited pictures earlier than promised. His work speaks for itself...its amazing! My husband and I are very happy with Dawid's flawless work, I'd highly recommend him. I'm so glad we will have these beautiful pictures to treasure for the rest of our lives! read more

Dawid is a simply outstanding photographer and we highly recommend him! He and his assistant did whatever it took to get the best shot with the best lighting (including jumping a fence to get the perfect shot; now that's dedication!). His pricing is fair and his pictures are amazing! He is a really nice person to work with, which makes a huge difference because in all honesty you spend more time with your photographer on the day of your wedding than all of your family and friends! We highly recommend hiring him. read more

I bought the deal on Living Social so wasn't sure what to expect. Dawid blew me away with his professionalism, photography skills, and how quickly he delivered the photos (under 1 week). Booking was super easy. Dawid listened to what type of pictures I wanted and suggested the perfect location. He arrived on time and spent more than our allotted hour getting multiple shots in multiple areas throughout Sycamore Grove Park in Livermore. We had our dog with us and he was totally patient with her. It was very windy that day and I was worried about how the images would turn out - when he sent the link to our images I was truly amazed at how many fantastic shots he captured - far beyond my expectations. I would highly, highly recommend Dawid as a photographer whether you're just looking for family portraits or have an event you'd like covered. Not only does he take excellent pictures and listen to what you want, but he's a very nice guy and easy to work with. read more

Dawid Bilski is by far the best photographer I've met, and I went through a lot. He captures every moment. The best aspect about him is that this profession is his passion. I love modeling for his shots and he loves taking them and captures them perfectly. He did our graduation pics, our engagement as well as our wedding. He's now our family photographer. He's A-M-A-Z-I-N-G =) read more

Dawid's work is absolutely beautiful! I spoke with him regarding doing some pictures of my daughter for her Senior HS graduation...he listened to my ideas and then picked the perfect place, with the perfect backgrounds, old trucks, an older car, a white picket fence. His work captured her personality, which I wanted to show through in the pictures and he nailed it! I would highly recommend Dawid. He is a true artist!! I couldn't have asked for anything more with his work! read more

Where do I start?? On time, super professional and super flexible. Got the photos within 2 days and they look amazing! Even worked around us having to relocate away from one area of the park as a wedding ceremony was taking place. Would definitely recommend to anyone! read more

We had a 1 hour family photo session with Dawid in Coyote Hills. Pictures turned out beautiful! We have a toddler who kept running off and looking all over but he was very patient with us. Would definitely recommend him. read more

This review is long overdue! Like many other reviewers, my husband and I hired Dawid initially for our engagement shoot. We were so pleased with our incredible engagement pictures and how easy and fun Dawid was to work with, we immediately hired him for our wedding as well. After planning our wedding, I can say with confidence that the most important part of planning is hiring a great photographer. And we can't imagine having had a better experience than with Dawid. He took so many incredible and creative pictures and really captured every moment and emotion. Our pictures are simply breath taking; I've never seen such beautiful wedding pictures. If you are still looking for a photographer to hire - for any event - you should immediately book Dawid if he is available. read more
