The wedding photos were BEYOND beautiful! And I had peace of mind the entire day that all would go according to plan. The photos were gorgeous and my husband and I thoroughly enjoyed working with him. Curtis truly has an eye for photography and finding the perfect shot. His hard work did not go unnoticed and we're extremely grateful and blessed to have had him as an integral part of our day. I wish him nothing but the best going forward.

We found Curtis through a friend of ours that has used him for several different photo sessions…read more We did a lot of research on photographers and were very nervous about choosing the right one for our wedding. Curtis suggested that we meet with him and take a look at his work and packages. We looked online and also went into his studio space and saw his albums. We loved his work. Curtis was very professional. From the beginning he told us of all the options we had for payment as well as the services he provided. Curtis can not only do very small events but also very large scale elaborate events. I am very organized and appreciated that Curtis took the time to ask all the right questions and ensured that he knew exactly what we wanted. He knew where to be, at what time to be there, and what to bring. He guided us through much of the process and ensured that we were prepared prior to our big day. Curtis was always there to answer all my questions. He was an email away and always answered in a timely manner. We got married at the end of September at 6 p.m. Needless to say we had very little time left with good lighting and it was very windy outside. Curtis did an amazing job with our pictures. He was able to handle all the crazy personalities we had at our event. He catered to us the entire night to ensure all of our family was able to get the pictures that they wanted. Curtis created a large picture for us that we used for our guests to sign (we used it as our guest book) that was absolutely beautiful. He got us several edited shots just days after our wedding and even edited a shot that I wanted to send to my family a week later. He was amazing! We will be using him for our Christmas pictures as well as future events. If you want to someone to help relieve some of the stress of your wedding planning, choose Curtis. You will not have to worry about your pictures. From the bottom of a stressed out brides heart, THANK YOU, CURTIS!

A boudoir photo shoot had been on my bucket list for a long time. I was engaged and thought it…read morewould be the perfect wedding gift, but can't say it wasn't a gift to myself as well. I researched different photographers and Andrea caught my eye for 2 reasons: her beautiful, timeless and elegant photos and her dialogue around doing a boudoir photo shoot. She starts with introspective questions about what you want to portray in your photos. She nurtures a healthy body image along the way and makes you feel your best from the inside out. That is truly her magic. The day itself was so special where I got to step out of my normal routine and into the routine of a super model. Andrea and her team had every detail worked out, so I could just relax and go with it. I visited Andrea again to review the photos to choose my favorites. There were too many and I ended up making the book bigger to solve that "problem." The end product is two books (boudoir + fine art) full of beautiful, professional photos. I gifted the book the morning of our wedding day and my now husband was absolutely floored. They now live on his nightstand and we both look at the often. Thank you, Andrea! When can we do it again?!?!

I received my album having been away for a few days and wow!!!!!…read more I am so thrilled with the results. From the very first time I reached out and received Andy's response I knew I wanted to go ahead with this adventure. And what an adventure it's been. My only regret is that I didn't do it sooner! I'm so happy with the results and I had so much fun with her and her amazing make up artist on the day. Two awesome women with make up, a camera, some great lighting and champagne? Pretty perfect day! I felt beautiful, comfortable and most importantly had so much FUN. I have wonderful memories from this whole experience! I'm sure you're sick of hearing it but THANK YOU! It must be so fulfilling to have a job where you get to make women feel like the best versions of themselves.

When we looked at her work we loved the beauty she is able to capture in candid shots from all different moments in a wedding. We were surprised to learn that her price was less than many of the other photographers we were considering. As part of the package, she gave us a deal on an engagement photo session, which turned out to be a great thing for us. Not only did it give us some beautiful pictures we were able to use on our invitations and programs, but it also gave us a chance to meet with Jamie, get to know her better, and see the quality of her work first hand. After that session we knew we had made the right choice. Jamie is the kind of good-natured, fun person that you want to have around on your wedding day. She worked hard to get us not only great photos but the photos that we wanted. I have no idea how she got so many pictures during the ceremony because I hardly even noticed she was there (though that may have been as much due to the whirlwind daze that I was in for most of the day). When we got the files from her we were so happy because she managed to capture in her candid shots so much of the love, laughter, and warmth that we remember from the day. I happily recommend her to anyone planning a wedding in the San Francisco/wine country area.

Thank you so much Sunyata Studios…read more I needed some headshots for building my practice and Sunyata Studios did a great job to support the professional look I was going for.

I was also able to purchase some of their stock images for use on my website and they look incredible! I love the artistic feel and beautiful plant filled space.

This review is long delayed as our wedding was in October 2025 and engagement photos in April 2025…read morebut looking back at the pictures captured by Vivian brings back so much good memories! Viv was immediately our first choice because she has an incredible portfolio of photographing in redwoods and nature which is sometimes very difficult to photograph with the different lighting. We are a bit awkward but from the get go, she was easy to talk to and was also organized. Our wedding was on the casual side so we did not have a planner but Viv was on top of everything and even though we had a day of coordinator, Viv was the one coordinating when it was her time and took lead which was much needed to wrangle everyone. The wedding was a tiny bit chaotic, running behind and rather short but Viv did a fantastic job capturing candid moments and making sure to pull us away for portrait photos away from everyone else before the wedding ended. She was professional and there wasn't a moment where I thought she was distracted. Her work speaks for itself but I really love that she shoots in multiple formats and captures the light and nature around the subjects so clearly and naturally. I often wish our wedding was slightly longer or not running behind because that would have given Viv even more time to take amazing pictures! We really enjoyed having Viv as our photography and thankful for the memories she has captured for us.

My partner and I were drawn to Vivian for her prior experience working with the venue and our…read morewedding planner, and, most importantly, her vision. We were given curated referrals for a photographer from both the venue, Mister Jiu's, and our wedding planner, and something about Vivian's photos struck us as both intimate and purposeful, naturally capturing the best moments in her subjects and the moment. Vivian has a terrific eye for capturing everything from the planned and choreographed to the spontaneous. Many of our photos were taken at the venue and the surrounding area of San Francisco's Chinatown before and during our dinner celebration. We were always in good hands, experimenting with different poses, cameras, and film to achieve a varied look, which, upon reflection, my wife and I were so glad Vivian took the time to do everything she did. We also appreciated her ability to switch gears from serious to witty, perfectly capturing every moment our surroundings or guests placed us in. And importantly, Vivian captured every important moment, framing our loved ones and us perfectly, even when we didn't know she was doing so. Vivian always made us feel welcomed, was always kind, and appreciated the love and joy perfectly captured in our photos that day. Thank you, Vivian, for being there with us on our special day!

Curtis was the photographer for our wedding ceremony a few years ago so when we decided to have…read morefamily photos taken for the holiday, we immediately thought of him. He was able to accommodate our four legged family members as well which was very important to us. Once again, he did an amazing job and we can't wait to work with him in the future. We highly recommend his service. **Something we just learned was that all of our family photos came with a "unedited" watermark unlike wedding and event photos. You are allotted 10 photos to have edited (included w. your fee) but every additional photo will have to be edited and comes with an additional cost. For example if you have 30 photos altogether, you picked your top ten you'd like to have edited and want the other 20 for your photo album, you will have to pay for those photos without the watermark. We still recommend his services but it could turn into a $1000 expense if you like all of your photos like we did.
