My daughter had an appointment for Senior pictures over the weekend. It was first class from the meeting moment we arrived. Discussion about the different poses she was looking to take was noted and which backdrop. As she was given a soft glam look, they were well on their way to an excellent photo shoot. Patty and her assistants were very attentive and explored other background suggestions. In the end I wanted all the pictures taken , but we left choosing the 4 best poses this Mom can't wait to put on the mantle. Thanks so much for the great vibe and atmosphere.

genuinely the best first photo shoot ive ever experienced. my mom booked an appointment for me for my senior portraits and right when I stepped in I knew it was going to be an amazing experience. they ladies were so nice welcoming and hyping me up every chance they had. I pretty much had full creative control. they did my makeup amazingly and did my hair fantasticly. they helped me every step of the way for my photos to come out amazing I was genuinely shocked. I even got to pick out the photos I liked in between each shoot and was given the option to retake if I didn't like it. I WILL be coming back for any event I get because I know they will execute the photos perfectly. not to mention Dore being a women owned studio made me feel even more comfortable. if you've read this far and still haven't booked what are you doing?!?!? Ps. i genuinely can't wait to see my final products !!

I'm not sure which is harder to find, truly good humans or fantastic photographers but fortunately, Rhiannon is a wonderful culmination of both Not only is she beyond talented and full of experience (and it shows) but she is a beautiful person inside and out that makes you feel so comfortable in front of the camera. I can guarantee these are the best, most unique and curated, beautiful photos you will ever take and still want to come back for more. She is truly an artist with great taste and an eye for style. It is so refreshing to come to someone as accomplished as she is, yet so incredibly humble and sweet that treats you like a real human. From start to finish she has been nothing short of amazing, answering any question I had personally, quickly and in great detail. The day of was so fun and seamless and she got my photos back to me in a totally reasonable amount of time. Especially considering the scale of grandeur of what these photos actually are. They are absolutely INCREDIBLE Overall 100/10 forever coming back to her! Book her if you can, spots fill up quickly for good reason

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!

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.

They were professional, attentive, and so easy to have around on such an important day. What we absolutely loved was Jennifer's eye for the little moments. Beyond the portraits and formal shots, she captured the quiet glances, the spontaneous laughter, and all the small details that made our wedding day feel like ours. We can't recommend Jennifer highly enough!

He's very professional, friendly, quick to respond, and just amazing to work with overall. I had just started wedding planning when I ran into a friend who told me Augie was their photographer and shared his info. We had looked through a number of photographers, but Augie's work stood out to us through all of it--his photos truly captured the feeling of each moment, and we loved everything in his portfolio. When we reached out, he responded so quickly and answered all our questions right away. For our engagement shoot, it was my husband's first time doing a formal photoshoot. Augie came very prepared, offered great tips, and made us feel completely at ease. He was so easy to talk to and work with, and we genuinely had such a fun time with him! He was also flexible with timing and weather to make sure we could get the best lighting. We were blown away by his ability to notice something special in just a few seconds and turn it into a beautifully captured moment. For our wedding day, Augie was even more impressive. I had shared our (very full) itinerary with him ahead of time, and I was surprised to notice that he knew it by heart. When we started running behind, he gently but efficiently helped move things along. Even though it was his first time at our venue, he had an incredible eye for finding perfect spots, turning a simple fence into a magical backdrop. He worked seamlessly around the golfers at our venue, guiding us at the right times and capturing the sweetest in-between moments. He also accommodated all our specific requests, including photos with our sports car and dress details. We absolutely love our wedding photos and all the special moments he preserved. We were also so impressed with how fast he sent us our sneak peek photos--it was such a fun surprise to get highlights so quickly. Overall, I can't stress enough how grateful we are for Augie and everything he captured during our engagement shoot and wedding day. We're so happy with all the memories he helped capture that we will cherish forever, and I truly can't recommend him enough.

He was able to quickly provide estimates, timeline, tips on wedding planning and much more. On the day of the wedding, Augie was a joy to work with and really knew how to coach two people that are usually awkward in front of a camera. It is clear he is intimately familiar with San Francisco City Hall and other popular photoshoot spots around the city. His coaching and skill produced amazing photographs beyond our expectations. He also surprised us with his cantonese, helping corral my family members to get the perfect shot. We were very satisfied with booking Augie. After working with him, we consider him a friend, not just a photographer.
