I was told I could order a metal print or receive a $50 gift certificate to order prints online I told Kira which photos I wanted and haven't heard back from her (that was October 19). Kira is unresponsive and I haven't had a good experience. Maybe I wasn't treated the same as everyone else b/c they paid full price, I don't know.

I agreed to let Kira take pictures of my dog for her Project Dog book and drove my dog to the site she selected in San Francisco. After an hour, I was supposed to receive the pictures from the photo shoot in return for her use of my dog's photos for the book. This photo shoot took place in May 2011. I have not received ANY photos from the photographer. Secondly, in August 2011 I paid $50 for her Kickstarter campaign for this Project Dog book. For this money, I was to receive one of the Project Dog books. It is now April 2012 and I have not yet received a book. I am also apparently not important enough to have the photographer return my phone calls or emails. I am incredibly disappointed with the service. That being said, the one blooper I was able to pull off of the facebook page for Nuena photography was cute. It's good that it was because it is the only one I have received in almost a year. She seems to have time to take vacations to Hawaii (July 2011) and take road trips across the country for other projects, but does not have time to make good on her word once she has what she needs or to return communications from someone who has now used their personal time and money to help her profit. I am incredibly disappointed. I almost forgot to mention that she volunteered to take some photos at a non-profit event in 2011. Yes, she volunteered but I was on the committee and as far as I know, she never turned over any of the pictures she took to anyone on the committee for future non-profit use. Seems counterproductive to volunteering for an organization to not help them out at all from your time spent there. It amounts more to not having to pay for the vendor price for a table and yet still getting some free exposure and advertising time. For shame.

Our photoshoot took about four hours, and we absolutely love every single photo she captured of our family. The images are beautiful, natural, and capture our children in such a sweet and authentic way. It was so hard to choose a favorite, but we loved one of the photos of our two kids so much that we ordered a wall print for our home! What really stood out to us was how incredibly patient and gentle Heather was throughout the entire four-hour session. Our baby girl woke up a few hours into the shoot, and Heather was so patient and caring. She took the time to gently coax her back to sleep so we could complete the photoshoot and capture all of the beautiful images we had hoped for. Her patience, care, and dedication made such a difference and made the entire experience feel relaxed and comfortable. Heather was wonderful to work with from start to finish, and we are so grateful to have these beautiful memories captured so beautifully. We will treasure these photos for years to come and would absolutely recommend Heather to anyone looking for a talented, thoughtful, and incredibly gifted photographer. Thank you, Heather, for giving us photos we will cherish forever!

We had to stop several times for feeding and changing diapers, and Heather was so kind and gentle with our newborn. She never rushed us and the session flowed based on my son's needs, which I truly appreciated. The photos turned out so beautiful, and all our family members love them! I am so happy with how many different looks she put our son in, and I can't choose a favorite photo! The quality of the photos is AMAZING; better than all other professional photos I've ever taken. We will surely come back for more photos when our family grows!

It's clear that she really knows the sites she picks very well. Both times, she knew exactly when and where to stand for the best light and shadows and the most beautiful settings. She is so good at capturing truly magical shots where the light is hitting everybody's faces just perfectly-- they look like they belong in editorials in magazines. She does a really lovely mix of both posed and more candid shots. And, if it matters to you, she doesn't use AI to edit her photos. This is all her own skill. Last year, when we sent out our holiday cards using Amy's photos of our family, so many friends and family were floored by how lovely the photography was. Her work really is a cut above.

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.

Me and my wife recently hired Joseph to be our wedding photographer recently. We did a small…read morewedding at the SF City Hall with just a couple of our friends - pretty much a wedding ceremony. So, the photos were supposed the main event and most important part of our wedding. Obviously, we went to City Hall to get the grand photos, but we also wanted to do something a bit different. Researching City Hall photographers, we went through a lot of them - and while most take really nice photos, if you go through them together one after the other, it all starts to feel the same. We wanted ours to stand out. That's when we came across Joseph's website. The minute we looked at it, we knew we had found our person - don't take my word for it, just check it out. His photos are beautiful, unique, and very artistic. He has an eye to catch those special moments between couples that immortalize them. Joseph is one of the best out there, and you will be lucky to get him because he's so busy during wedding season. Despite this, he was very communicative since before we hired him, all the way up to our wedding. I highly recommend talking with him over a phone call, he will put you at ease for your special day, and you can discuss what you are looking for. He connects with you which makes the experience all the more pleasant. Soo, the reason we went with him specifically was because we wanted something different and artistic - and while that can be a bit risky, he is the photographer for that. We planned to do the shoot at two locations, first at City Hall, and the second in North Beach area. On the day of, we were a bit stressed and feeling the pressure. The minute Joseph arrived, he was able to lighten up the mood, cracking jokes and created a fun, stress-free environment to relax us. You can tell he has attended a lot of weddings, haha. After that, things went really smoothly - he is quite familiar with City Hall, and knows how to take the good shots. He was able to get us all the stand out shots - the grand staircase, the elevator, the stairs, and the fourth floor. And the photos came out amazing! He did candid shots, elegant shots, grand shots etc. One thing I noticed is, lots of photographers are able to do close ups well, but struggle with wide angles - Joseph was able to do wide angles expertly, which is important for a venue like City Hall. When going to the second location, we had planned to do a shoot at a specific location but it was crowded so we had to improvise, and ended up taking photos in the street. This is where Joseph really shined - he was able to use the streets, graffiti, and the environment to take some extremely beautiful photos. And oh-my-god, those photos came out AMAZING!!! He made us look like movie stars, the photos were cinematic! We are so happy with our photos, we have been looking at them every weekend since getting married. What I will say about the price is you will be paying a decent amount if you get any good photographer, and Joseph will look cheap when you understand what you are getting - he is definitely worth what he charges and more. More importantly, the advice I would give you is this - I know Joseph can and will get you the shots you want, but I highly recommend giving him a free hand and trust his artistic vision and his eye, you will not be disappointed! And feel free to express yourself and make things interesting - he is very open to trying out new ideas. Joseph made our vision come true, and captured our wedding day beautifully - he made it memorable for us, which I feel is what every couple wants. For us, he is going to be the one capturing all our special moments going forward, so I hope you see the trust we place in him as a testament to his skill, vision and character. I cannot recommend him enough, just get him without thinking twice, you will not regret it! We're a bit private so don't want to post a bunch of photos online publicly, but I've attached one that perfectly sums up what he can do.

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.
