    A Tale Ahead Photography - Surprise proposal at the SF Botanical Gardens Moon Viewing Pool

    Working with David and Annie for our proposal photos was a breeze. Even though I initially didn't…read morehave a super solid idea of where and when I wanted to do the proposal, David was very helpful in suggesting different locations for different times of the day while providing examples. His communication was clear and responsive, and he was very patient with me no matter how many emails it took! Staging the surprise was actually a lot simpler than I expected--they ask you for some basic information as to how you're planning to do it. On the day of, I was nervous if things were going to fall into place, but Annie, our photographer, shared her location with me and arrived early in just the spot I wanted. She was also wonderful to work with--her photography and editing skills are great and even though we never really posed for photos before, she made it easy for us. She even had the presence of mind to turn us away from family members who were coming from behind to surprise us. We received a few photos the night of the proposal to share with friends and then the rest of the photos after a quick turnaround. We were very happy with how they turned out and appreciative of Annie's great work!

It was easy to communicate and plan with them, and they were extremely flexible and timely. When it came time for the photos, they also offered great direction. I highly recommend them!

    Working with Toan was a dream. Not only did he bring a wonderful energy to our wedding day, but he…read morekept everyone on track with the timing of everything. Many many people in our wedding party noted how professional and polished he was. I truly can't imagine having any other photographer for our day. It brought me great relief knowing he was keeping us all on track for such a busy day. And of course, the photos came out beautifully. He truly knows how to pose people and hit all the best angles. I cannot recommend Toan enough!!

    If you're looking for a wedding photographer in the Bay Area, we cannot recommend Toan Photography…read moreenough! We absolutely loved working with Toan and his team. From the very beginning, they were incredibly knowledgeable, talented, professional, and genuinely easy to work with. Planning a DIY wedding comes with plenty of stress, but Toan was hands down our easiest and favorite vendor throughout the entire process. Neither of us is naturally comfortable in front of a camera, but Toan has an incredible eye and knows exactly how to direct and pose you. He gave us simple, clear guidance that made us feel relaxed and confident, and somehow made even the least photogenic person look like a natural model. The entire experience felt fun instead of awkward. His photography speaks for itself. The photos are absolutely stunning and capture every moment so beautifully. His work is so strong that the images barely need any editing--they're timeless, natural, and simply breathtaking. Every photo feels like a work of art, and we know we'll treasure them for the rest of our lives. We also really appreciated how honest, flexible, and accommodating Toan was throughout the process. He frequently offered packages and special deals, which we were incredibly grateful for. Booking, scheduling, billing, and communication were always seamless, and we never ran into a single issue. On our wedding day, Toan and his team made us feel completely at ease during one of the biggest and most emotional days of our lives. They were calm, organized, and knew exactly how to keep everything running smoothly while capturing every special moment. His craftsmanship is worth every penny. After working with him, we completely understand why he's so highly rated throughout the Bay Area. If you're considering Toan Photography, don't hesitate--you'll be investing in an amazing experience and memories you'll cherish forever. Thank you, Toan and your team, for exceeding every expectation!

    Laszlo was the photographer for our recent wedding in September 2010. I have nothing but positive…read morethings to say about his work! He was extremely thorough and spent a lot of time meeting us and getting to know us and our venue before the event, including a pre-wedding venue scouting at the exact time of day that our event began to get a sense for the lighting. Laszlo was completely unobtrusive, yet incredibly warm and engaged with us, our family, and the wedding itself. His photographs were beautiful and really captured the feel of the event. We would hire him again in a heartbeat!

    We recently got married at Nestldown and loved working with Laszlo. We are thrilled with his…read morephotos of our wedding and found the experience to be smooth from start to finish. At every stage of the process, Laszlo's excitement about the "big day" was palpable. Prior to our wedding, he visited Nestldown in order to get a sense of the place and the kind of lighting conditions he'd encounter. He met with us to discuss any questions we had and, more importantly, to raise questions we hadn't thought of. It felt really good to know we were working with someone who cared deeply about the quality of his work, and who was genuinely excited about it. This passion really came through in the photos he sent us after the wedding. Not only were his posed shots of us and our family beautiful, and his action shots of the party "electric," but he also took some very interesting and thoughtful photos of more fleeting, quite moments. My husband and I were also very impressed with Laszlo's technical skill. Our wedding day was on an afternoon in February and he had a very limited amount of time and light to get our planned family photos. Laszlo worked efficiently but at the same time, he was courteous and sensitive to our guests' experience -- no one felt "rushed" by the photographer. Similarly, during the reception, Laszlo blended in very well, getting great candid shots while maintaining a low profile. For his professionalism, artistry, and warmth, we highly recommend Laszlo as a wedding photographer.

    I originally reached out because you were a photographer I could trust…read more Thank you so much for taking care of my family photo!!!! The restoration you did is absolutely beautiful. This means more to me than words can express. Thank you for all your work and sharing in this journey with me.

    While walking my dog in Twin Pines Park, I noticed a handsome family having their portrait taken…read morewith the wooded backdrop and natural outdoor lighting. At the time, my son was 3 1/2 and we had never had professional portraits done of him or our family. I wanted to do them, but every time I spoke with a photographer, he or she mentioned taking pictures in a studio with artificial light and faux backdrops. Ugh - I am not a fan of cheesy studio pics. So I'd never gotten around to family photos. When I saw this photographer taking pictures of a family in a natural setting, I knew that was what I wanted. Having some chutzpah, I approached and asked for a card. I went home and looked up Barbara Bell online. Barbara Bell had no Yelp reviews at that time, but a beautiful portfolio. Done - hired. * Photography: 5 stars - I love her images shot in natural light. * Personality: 5 stars - Very pleasant during photo shoot and helpful when choosing which images to order. * Value: 4 stars - Like most professional photographers, the clients don't keep the negatives and buy the prints they like by selecting them online. * Communication: 3.5 stars - Hard to reach at times. We set up a photo shoot and met in the same park for about an hour. Our beloved dog was included (he *is* a family member after all). We had a fun and relaxed photo session; she was excellent with my son who hammed it up for her. The only downside was the inconvenience of not being able to reach her by phone. If you can't reach her, try email. We were extremely happy with the images she produced of our family. I would definitely hire Barbara again.
