Her turn around time is also reasonably quick so you don't have to wait for too long. Would definitely recommend and hopefully get other sessions in the future!

My fiancé and I were so excited since we didn't think we'd be able to get pictures done due to our short timeframe before our wedding. She was able to work with our tight schedule and we couldn't be happier with the whole experience! Alison was so personable, professional, and an absolute gem! She made us feel so comfortable, she was even able to get my fiancé to smile! Lol our photo session was so smooth and the location she picked was gorgeous, it was exactly the vibe we wanted. Also, she was able to edit our pictures so fast, which is a HUGE plus and we couldn't be happier! I literally cried when I seen them! She made my dreams come to life through her photo's! We were blown away and will definitely be booking with her again!

From the moment of booking through following up after we had purchased our final products, her communication was phenomenal and timely. Booking our session was very easy and user-friendly (all done online) and she made her instructions and what to expect very clear and straight forward. We knew exactly where to go, when to go, and she was ready for us when we arrived at the beautiful location she had picked out for these sessions. Our session went wonderfully and we were so in love with our photos. She also made several options available to expanding our package from our base package that we started with, which made picking out photos for different family members a very easy and streamlined process. We would recommend her in a heartbeat and will definitely book her again in the future.

From our engagement photos to our rehearsal dinner to the wedding day (which she flew across the country for!), she was there for us. She went above and beyond by meeting with our wedding planner to curate the perfect timeline so we could make the most out of our time together, coming to our wedding venue the day before to scope out all the good locations, and so much more. Melissa made us feel so at ease in front of the camera and was just such a positive energy to have around on the wedding day. This was so important to us when choosing a wedding photographer, because we knew we'd be spending so much of the day together. She didn't shy away from the craziness of our very large wedding party and she was so attentive to me and made sure I was in good spirits the whole day. Even our friends and family were commenting on how much they loved her! After the wedding, we got so many sneak peaks within just a few days. Even if I never saw another wedding photo, I'd still be content from just the preview. They were better than we ever could have imagined and we got tons of compliments from the people we shared them with. My personal favorite comment from my sister was, "I wish she would have been my wedding photographer!" That pretty much says everything you need to know. I have no idea how she does what she does, she makes it seem so effortless. We are beyond grateful for Melissa!

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.

Very unsatisfied with the professionalism of my daughters photographer Stan Angel.When having a…read moreconsultation he said a price of $125 and asked my daughter what she wanted to have for her shoot, she expressed country (tall grass, barn, wild flowers, etc) and that she did enjoy horses. Stan said that he could probably arrange a hose, which he did, kudos. Not once did he say there would be fees for the venue or a horse, now he's crying a different tune; if he mentioned fees before I would not have batted an eyelash to get what my daughter desired in her photos. Instead most shots were done with horses and not so much of what my daughter expressed on what she wanted, country. Dont get me wrong horses are great and all but why would I want to immortalize my daughter with an animal that is not hers? Now when all is said and done the final outcome is horrific photo shopping. Being an unsatisfied and a paying client I would think he would want to correct his work and have a happy client, right? Instead he is tucking tale and giving me a refund of the $70 I already paid. I asked for the "raw" photos so that i can have an actual professional photoshop editor correct the images, but Stan refuses because it is his "work"! Understandable, but I would think those are the only photos I want so my daughter can have a Senior portrait to share with her family and friends. NOT WORTH A STAR. Very unprofessional and when my family and I try to come to some sort of agreement he throws a temper tantrum and tucks tail. If you want shady editing go to this guy. Make sure at the consultation that you get all your T's crossed and I's dotted, afterwards he might cry foul play. NOT RECOMMENDED

We met Opal at a wedding fair in Napa, and after meeting with several photographers, we knew after…read morejust one phone call that she was the one. My husband and I immediately felt reassured by her calm confidence, deep experience, and genuine interest in helping us bring our wedding vision to life. Opal is not just an incredibly talented photographer -- she's also one of the most understanding, patient, and organized vendors we worked with throughout the entire process. She knows how to gracefully navigate large groups, multiple families, fur babies, and keep things on schedule without making anything feel rushed or forced. What I especially love about Opal's work is her ability to capture authentic, candid moments. Looking back at our photos felt like reliving our wedding day. She beautifully preserved the emotion, joy, and intimacy in every frame. Her team was equally amazing. Wing (videographer) and Prasanna (second photographer) worked seamlessly across multiple venues, captured amazing moments, and created a stunning highlight reel that we'll treasure forever. If you're looking for a photographer who will make you feel at ease, treat your day with care, and deliver authentic photos, Opal is the one. It felt like having a friend on one of the biggest days of your life, guiding you every step of the way. We are beyond grateful to have had her capture our wedding day.

Have you ever met someone you just instantly clicked with? That was meeting Mrs. Opal Prince…read more From our very first conversation, Opal completely understood my vision--and more impressively, she worked with me through every indecisive moment and my very type B planning style. She never once made me feel underprepared or behind; instead, she offered thoughtful suggestions, filled in the blanks when I couldn't quite articulate something, and genuinely partnered with me every step of the way. We first worked with Opal for our engagement session, which I was admittedly nervous about--especially since my fiancé has a five-minute photo stamina at best. Not only did Opal make the experience comfortable and fun, but she even brought in her husband to help manage our wild dog so we could get a mix of shots with and without him. When I say our pup couldn't have been in better hands with someone we had just met--I mean it. The session was full of laughter, reassurance, and ease, even as our dog did his best to cause chaos. And the photos? They were turned around quickly and completely blew us away. I had several people text me photos of our Save the Dates, amazed by the stunning pictures Opal captured. Those engagement photos will be treasured for the rest of our lives--and then came the wedding... Opal and her partner, Wing, perfectly captured the energy of the day--Wing with my fiancé and his groomsmen, and Opal with me and my bridesmaids. You can truly feel the personality and emotion, which I fully attribute to the energy they bring. Their calming, friendly presence makes it feel like you're just hanging out with a friend--not posing for a camera. Our wedding day brought its fair share of last-minute weather pivots, and while Opal's role was officially a photographer, she effortlessly became so much more. I found myself turning to her again and again, and every time she was there--calmly helping, offering direction, keeping me on track. Though she was not our coordinator, she filled that role in such a natural way, and I am so grateful for her presence on that day. I can't imagine not having Opal or Wing with us for future milestones. They are the kind of photographers who make even the most camera-shy person feel confident and beautiful, offering clear guidance and capturing magic along the way Book Sweetbay Photography!!! You will NOT regret it!

And knowing that this guy has been doing it for so long tells you he is consistent in his work, he does great work, and his clients love him (obviously he has 5 stars everywhere!) When you want someone to photograph this once in a lifetime moment, you know you need the expertise of someone like Joseph, who has photographed hundreds of proposals himself. I knew of his reputation as one of the best San Francisco wedding photographer companies, but can wholeheartedly recommend him for all photography needs as he puts a lot of care and time into all his clients.

My husband and I didn't want stiff posed photos for our wedding, and we admittedly have a very particular aesthetic that we thought would be hard to match. We scored big time finding Gretchen--a wildly talented photographer, warm, fun, and hilarious person, and an always calming presence during what has the potential to feel like an overwhelming event. She did our engagement and wedding photos, and both times she managed to turn our initially awkward and stiff reactions to the camera into an unbelievably gorgeous set of photos, capturing all the little authentic moments between our more awkward or contrived poses. She has a knack for capturing landscapes, finding the best backdrops for romantic photos that don't feel forced. She was always warmly willing to humor us in our bizarre requests, like photographing us with our microscope. She has a way of making you forget that you're being photographed and instead it feels like you're hanging out with a fun friend. Her photos speak for themselves. We could not be happier with how they turned out, and we are endlessly grateful that we'll be able to remember the special day with Gretchen's art. Photos are a very special way to capture a once in a lifetime experience, and Gretchen is definitely the person you want on your team. We found her pricing so much more reasonable than many other photographers, and the quality of her photos much more I be like with what we were looking for. Gretchen places brilliant emphasis on the importance of kindness throughout her process. In an industry that can quickly feel material and cut throat, she brings such a refreshing and genuine perspective to the wedding world, focusing on the importance of love (while also giving plenty of space for her clients to embrace some inner diva ). We can't recommend Gretchen enough and we are entirely grateful we had the chance to work with her. Now we're looking for more excuses to photograph events and work with her again!
