We had the pleasure of working with Eric for our wedding photos at SF City Hall, and we couldn't be…read morehappier with the entire experience. From the very beginning, Eric was incredibly responsive and helpful. Even before our shoot, he shared great tips and answered all our questions, which made us feel confident and excited going into the day. On the day of our wedding, Eric showed up early and was extremely professional. His talent and vision were clear right away. My husband and I aren't the most experienced when it comes to posing, but Eric guided us through everything so naturally. One of the best parts? The turnaround time. He sent us a sneak peek of the photos just a few hours after the shoot -- and they already looked amazing! By the next day, he sent over all the unedited photos so we could choose our favorites. The final edits came back in just a week, and you could tell he put a lot of time and effort into each image. If you're looking for a talented, professional, and genuinely kind photographer, I highly recommend Eric. He captured our special day beautifully and made the whole process easy and enjoyable!

She knew how to plan the poses we picked in a specific order to help things go as smooth as possible with a fussy newborn.

From our very first planning conversation, Josh was an absolute professional. He took the time to…read moretruly understand what mattered most to us, helped us think through realistic timelines, and made the whole process completely stress-free. On the wedding day itself, Josh and his team were incredible. They brought a calm, grounded, and unobtrusive energy that made us feel instantly comfortable in front of the camera. Instead of feeling posed or awkward, we just got to enjoy our day while they worked their magic. They also coordinated seamlessly with our photographer and other vendors, feeling more like part of our family than hired crew. When we finally got our videos back, we were completely blown away. The cinematography is breathtaking, timeless, and captures the exact emotion and joy of the day in a way that photos alone simply cannot do. Hearing our vows, the laughter of our guests, and seeing those fleeting moments preserved forever is something we will cherish for the rest of our lives. Josh is a true artist and a master of his craft. If you want someone who will genuinely care about your story and deliver a cinematic masterpiece you'll watch over and over again, look no further than Dreambook Productions. Thank you, Josh, for giving us memories we will treasure forever!

Josh connected all the little moments so seamlessly and turned our entire wedding day into a beautiful and engaging story. We loved all the songs he chose, he really understood the vibe and emotions of our wedding. Watching the films felt like experiencing our own wedding as an audience member, we got to see so many moments, reactions, and details that we had missed on the actual day. Josh was also such a joy to have around on our wedding day. He has such a warm, fun personality and made us feel comfortable and natural in front of the camera. It genuinely felt like having a friend there capturing everything! Thank you, Josh, for capturing not only what happened, but how the day felt. These films are memories we'll treasure for the rest of our lives. We're so grateful and would wholeheartedly recommend Dreambook Productions!

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.

When I was thinking of proposing to my then girlfriend, I already knew of Joseph's reputation,…read moreskill, and experience as he is one of the top San Francisco proposal photographers and has been around for over a decade. It was a no brainer. 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.

We've had a great experience working with Mike. We hired him for our engagement photos. Then we…read morehired him as our wedding photographer. We then had him come back to do our family photos when our baby was born. He is professional, responsive and generous with digital file access. We value Mike's creative perspective. For example, our engagement shoot was outdoors and in addition to taking the myriad of more 'traditional' shots that I wanted, Mike captured artistic shots of us that incorporated our reflections in a pool of water, waves crashing around us. He has experience doing a variety of styles which means he brings more to the table than a typical portrait photographer. Highly recommended.

I was introduced to Mike through my brother, when I was looking for my wedding photographer. I was…read morereally nervous about getting the right person to not only capture the day, but the right person to make everyone feel at ease while under the lense... and boy did Mike DELIVER! Mike was so easy to work with, we met him at his house to discuss shots we liked, and game planned the long day with him- he was so professional and calming, my husband and I walk away from our meeting so excited that we had hit it off so well, and at ease knowing how chill his vibe was. His pricing was very reasonable, and he worked with us to make sure we got the most out of his services (we had him for 10 hours!) and he was SO generous with the digital content, giving us the 2000+ images to us over dropbox. Mike also realized our job was on the larger and asked a second photographer, Manny, to assist in making sure they caught every part of our day. Mike and Manny showed up right on time for our wedding, and fit in seamlessly with both bridal parties as we readied. He was so calm and cool, even when we had a drama bridesmaid incident that delayed the ceremony over an hour, really cutting short the time we had planned for many planned shots. Mike captured so many personal little moments between my husband and I that are worth so much more than any posed photo. He took the time to really get to know my husband and I and it shows through in his photos. He is really an artist, and was very creative with angles, filters, and focus during our marathon wedding around San Francisco that included windy rooftops and a SFFD Firetruck. I really can't express how happy I am with our photos, and how wonderful our experience with Mike was, we even invited him to stay late and celebrate with party after he was done behind the camera! I would recommend him to any of my friends or family, and have complete faith in the work he delivers. Well done Mike!
