We've had annual family photo sessions with Hilary for the past five years (and even two sessions…read morein one year!), and she has been phenomenal every single time. 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.

I love all the photos he's taken of me, my family, and my friends. They are so vibrant and full of life. I feel so lucky that he spends the time (come rain or shine!) at the Hauntway.

The experience was patient, thoughtful, and more than I could have hoped for. I'd recommend David to anyone looking for genuine family photos.

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.

In our case, we even have excellent photographers and fancy cameras in the family, but capturing our 1-year old as anything but a blur and getting a picture of all three of us together was next to impossible. I had been keeping tabs on Joey's work for some time and when we were ready, I went through his gallery and wrote to all the friends I recognized who he had done sessions with (he's the go-to guy in the City now, apparently!). They unanimously said that he was easy to work with, professional, and caught the shots they were looking for. So we set it up! One of things I was struck by was how easy the logistics were, such as paying the deposit online, filling out a pre-shoot survey that asked helpful questions about what we had in mind, and choosing shots for prints from our gallery on his website. Joey is also affordable and turns the photos around quickly--we were able to choose shots to frame for Christmas presents within a few days of our session. The company he gets prints through was also speedy and the quality was perfect (especially compared to the DIY photo site options I've been floundering with this past year). Most importantly, Joey's documentary style of shooting was the right fit for us. He knows the city and it's backdrops extremely well, but I liked that he recommended we stay in our neighborhood so that when we look back at the photos, we will remember this time in our lives. Plus it made our kiddo more comfortable to be in his own space, playing with his own stuff. I was nervous that it was starting to rain and we wanted some outdoor shots, but it was no problem! We have some pretty lush landscaping in our condo complex that we showed Joey and he lit up, seeing the possibilities and taking some of the best shots of the bunch. And being a father himself, he has a cool, easy-going way with kids that brings out their best. We are totally thrilled with the process and the results and will definitely use Joey again.

What really sets Joey apart from other wedding photographers (besides his stunning photographs) is his level of service. Joey responds quickly to any question or concern. Even though Joey has a full roster of clients, he really goes out of his way to make you feel like you are the only wedding in the world with how much attention he gives you. He asked all the right questions to make sure he was prepared with what we wanted for our wedding day. In fact, he thought of things I would have never remembered to do or ask, and really saved a lot of mini-disasters from occurring with his insights. I could have probably hired him to be my wedding planner as well! Joey was also a calming and awesome vendor for the day of the wedding. He was very concerned with my comfort, and making sure my husband and I were taken care of. Despite the size of my wedding, and being pulled in lots of directions by my family, Joey was never flustered. He was super easy going and rolled with the punches, a necessity for any wedding. Even more amazing, our photo booth vendor cancelled at 1:00am the day of our wedding. When Joey heard about it, he created a makeshift photo booth for our guests on the spot! It was definitely not in his job description, and nobody asked him to do it, he just came up with it, and made it work. You can't beat that level of concern for your client. I also loved how stealthy Joey was. I barely noticed him running around taking photographs. But when you see his photos of those special moments, its as if he was right next to you the entire time! He managed to capture the most beautiful and intimate shots, without being in the middle of them. Even after the wedding, Joey still delivers amazing responsiveness and concern for his clients. Joey had proofs and a slide show ready in two weeks, which is incredibly fast for a photographer. When I saw the photos, I was so happy with the way they turned out. My entire family was also thrilled with them. And Joey makes ordering photos so easy and convenient with his online system. All in all, Joey is a great photographer and runs an exceptional business. His prices were very reasonable and included so many extras, like a engagement session and a beautiful photo album. One of my bridesmaids at the wedding who got married a few years ago said she wished she had found him when she was booking a photographer years ago because of how he conducted himself, how he made me feel, and how amazing his photos were. When your guests notice how great your photographer is, you know you've found someone special. His exquisite photos, amazing customer service, and all around easy going nature make him exactly the person you want to hire as you go through the wedding process. Book before some other smart bride does or he figures out how incredible he is and starts doing celebrity weddings!
