Looking for a photographer to catch the best moments in your life? Karen is it!…read more From emails, texts and our entire session you will feel great with the decision in having Karen be your photographer. I wish I found her sooner. But happy she was able to capture our last miracle baby. The photos are just so amazing and I can't stop looking at them. We drove from Oakley to have her do our photos, her studio is perfect and she has everything. Which is worth it because I for one am forgetful which I forgot to bring our diaper bag! Thankfully Karen came to the rescue with diapers. She has all the cute and fun things to make your photos meet your vision and then some. All my kids are rainbow babies and the rainbow photo has 7 hearts which is how many angels we have and Karen came up with the idea of adding an extra heart to make it mean more. Which made me start to tear up, our last miracle rainbow baby showed the love to not only his big sisters but to his siblings in heaven. Karen is also super sweet and we had so much to talk about during our session. My eldest daughter who is on the spectrum. I ended up learning a few things from her to help our journey in her school. You feel like she is a friend the whole time, which is something I love in a photographer is a friendly connection. She loves what she does and she's really good with kids of all ages. You won't regret choosing Karen to take photos of your family. It will be the best decision in preserving memories for generations to see.

I was also thrilled that she had some beautiful dresses available to borrow, as I was having trouble finding something nice that would photograph well, and fancy maternity dresses you're only going to wear once for photos can be pricey. The photos turned out gorgeous too. We just did our newborn shoot and can't wait to get our photos. Based on the previews we saw during the shoot though, they're going to be everything we hoped for and more. Highly recommend Jessica and look forward to working with her for family photos in the future!

To say the least I will never go to any other photographer for our photo needs, I absolutely love her all around!

Jessica listened carefully to exactly what we wanted in our consultations and meetings prior to our big day. She was extremely organized and on top of every detail. I have three grandparents who attended the wedding (ages 92-97) and she was able to get the family photos completed right after the ceremony. We will cherish those photos forever! We had expressed that we wanted more candid photos and that is what we got. It was so much fun to look back and relive the day as well as see special moments that we were unable to see. Even better - she had a preview up on her website less than 2 weeks after the wedding which we were able to enjoy while we were honeymooning in Italy. Jessica's professionalism and work ethic is above and beyond. I would highly recommend Jessica Angeline Photography!

From our initial contact we knew we had found a true professional and someone that would be easy to communicate with and work with us to capture our wedding day. Prior to our engagement photo session Jessica was there for us when we wanted to run our outfit choices by her. She had great tips and was excited to share her expertise. We had an amazing time with her and she helped us feel comfortable in front of the camera. It was an opportunity to get to know Jessica and see that she was easy going and had an excellent eye for photography. Prior to our wedding day Jessica worked with our wedding coordinator to understand the locations we would be in and the timeline of events. On the day of our wedding Jessica was incredible. She was relaxed, organized and on top of getting all the important moments on camera. Jessica is an excellent communicator and helps set up the shots that will blow you away when you see them. After our wedding we had fun seeing the sneak peaks that she provided. Jessica is a social media whiz and her blog post of your wedding is something to look forward to. When we got our full wedding album we couldn't stop smiling. Jessica captured all the pictures we wanted and much more. She pays attention to all the details and after a whirlwind wedding it is a treat to see pictures of all of your guests and the decor of your wedding. Jessica is an amazing person and photographer and we would recommend her to anyone looking for someone to capture the important memories in their life. She is worth every penny!

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!

Nicole had photographed a number of my friends' weddings and I had always been mesmerized by the quality. I began enjoying the photos of other weddings, even though I didn't know the folks because she captures the emotions, feel, and reality of the day. Nicole's photos tell a story, and capture the moments you are too busy to notice. I had opted to had an unplugged wedding so I put full faith in Nicole to capture the day. We did not have video or a #hashtag to search later, all photos were grabbed by her. I am so glad I did. The day went by so quick and I really didn't get to see it all or even talk to everyone. Looking back through the photos it was so nice to relive the moments that went by so quick, see the faces and feelings of those I barely got to say hello to, or catch the responses of those in attendance to our toast, ceremony, etc. The best part, I got to relive it, not through grainy photos take from a cell phone. I didn't have to peel through photo after photo that didn't capture the moment but an arm, head or better yet another cell phone. Her photos offered me a front row to a day that took so much time and effort to put together. I am over the moon with quality, # of photos, and feel of every image she captured. Not only that, folks are coming to me to tell me how amazing the photos are. These will be gifts, family heirlooms, and art in your house, so pick an artist for the job. With a great mix of candid, portraits, but a grace and beauty in her editorial style....you can't go wrong with Sweetness and Light Photography.

From our first email exchange to the event 2.5 years later, she was consistently thoughtful, kind, and exceptionally well organized. Nicole beautifully handled any hiccups that cropped up throughout the day, including a brief neighborhood-wide blackout right after dinner.

I'm so grateful to have found Sweetness & Light Photography. Thank you so much for everything!

Lily has a calm, easygoing way about her that made it feel much more relaxed than I expected. She guided me without over-directing, kept things moving efficiently, and somehow managed to get a bunch of shots I actually really like (which is saying something). The session itself was quick, but I never felt rushed. She gave me plenty of great options to choose from. I also got the final photos back about a week later, which was a nice, quick turnaround. Lily is warm, professional, and clearly knows exactly what she's doing.

Keith was easy to coordinate with ahead of time and always extremely responsive, which made the planning process smooth. Our photographer Robin was excellent. He helped us schedule the day to make the most of our time while still being mindful of the flow. We had a few special requests, like a photoshoot with our dog Bowie on the Embarcadero, and he made it all happen seamlessly. He also planned ahead to capture us at sunset overlooking the Bay Bridge, which turned into one of our favorite shots. We originally chose Robin for his incredible candid photography (since we're not naturals at posing), and we are so glad we did! Even our guests commented on how many wonderful candids he captured. At the same time, he guided us through posed photos when needed and brought a creative vision that went far beyond the basics we had in mind. It's also clear that Robin truly loves what he does - his enthusiasm made the experience even more enjoyable. On top of everything, he delivered our photos back to us in just one week, which is unheard of and so greatly appreciated. It was a lot of fun working with Robin - he was easygoing, professional, and stuck with us through a long day with such positive energy. We would absolutely recommend him and Lynds Photo & Video to anyone looking for wedding photography.
