My fiancé and I decided to get married last Friday during quarantine. My sister hired Robin to do…read moresome "distance photography" to commemorate the day. Let me say: Robin is the best! He is so friendly and goes out of his way for the client. He called me the night before to understand my vision and talk me through different location options. Safety was of utmost concern for Robin and we discuss in detail the safety measures we would take. Robin was flexible with time and location. He listened to our wants and needs and offered his own suggestions as well. Ultimately, Robin created BEAUTIFUL images of my husband and I. I'm so excited to use these photos when we finally have a wedding. We have already ordered many copies for family and friends and are excited to have these as keepsakes. I highly recommend Robin for any of your photography needs. Thanks so much, Robin, for making our special day even more special!!!

I was looking for a place to get a headshot for work. They had asked me to get a headshot as soon…read moreas I could and ran into Ara. It was a great pleasure working with her to get a decent headshot taken. The process was smooth. We took several headshots and narrowed down it down to a few.

My son just had his graduation portraits taken and he had a great experience. He told me that the…read morephotographer, Ara, was very nice. She offered him some water to drink after she noticed that he had ridden his bike to the establishment. They tried to fix his hair before taking the pictures. Good thing there's photoshop, lol. Anyway, after the portraits were taken, things happened quickly. We (son and I) received an email telling us what to expect next along with a price guide and so forth. It was very organized and informative. As we went through the process of viewing and choosing our favorite photos, Ara was patient and helpful. She answered and/or clarified any questions/concerns that I might've had in a timely manner. Ara did a great job retouching the portraits. I appreciate how fast it all got done. It took less than a week from start to finish (for digital portraits/files). I also appreciate the discount incentives. Every little bit (of money saved) counts. I definitely recommend this business. Thanks again, Ara!!!

Deeba was incredible! Hired him to capture a surprise proposal and he went above and beyond. The…read moreweek leading up to the event he helped brainstorm locations for the best photos and opine on strategy. Walking up to our chosen proposal spot, I was initially worried because someone was sitting near where I was going to propose and would be in the shot. Turns out, it was Deeba making sure nobody else got in the area for the perfect proposal. He was so clandestine my fiancee had no idea anything was about to happen until I was on one knee. She was so surprised she never took off her glasses during the actual proposal and he noticed and right after we were done kissing had us quickly re-enact the moment without glasses or her purse. The shot speaks for itself. Would highly, highly recommend for anything important you want to capture in the most beautiful way possible.

We booked Deeba for both our engagement photos and wedding photos. He was amazing from the start. I…read morehighly recommend doing engagement photos first because it helped us get to know him better. And the photos are amazing! I have gotten so many compliments on our wedding photos and I love looking at them. It was important to my husband and I to not see each other before the wedding. We met with a few photographers and they told us our timeline and style of photos that we wanted would not work. Deeba listened to us, learned all the family dynamics, and not only accommodated what we wanted (more formal portraits and less cheesy kisses on the forehead), but he fit everything with enough time to spare that we could go to our cocktail hour! At the reception I literally did not know he was there unless guests were dragging me to get a photo taken (Sorry Deeba!). He blended in, and made everyone feel comfortable. If you want a true photo documentary of your big day, chose Deeba. You won't regret it.

Chris is a master at his craft. He produced outstanding photos, at reasonable rates, and goes above…read moreand beyond to provide excellent customer service. My husband and I did an outdoor photo shoot with Chris at a park in our neighborhood. Although I had to drag my hubby there kicking and screaming, he ended up really enjoying our shoot...Chris was great at putting us at ease and made the whole process painless.... He told us to wear solid colors (not prints), suggested the best time of day for the shoot, scouted the best location for us using google maps, made sure he arrived early and was completely set up before we arrived, thus not wasting our time. Both my husband and I independently told Chris that he works magic...he managed to make even us look good! (that may have something to do with his photoshop magic).

Words cannot fully express how much we adore Chris and just how talented he is. We were blessed to…read morehave him do a family session for us at the park and honored when he captured our wedding day at a winery in Castro Valley. Our home is adorned with his work and people constantly comment on our wedding photography. Chris makes everyone feel comfortable and he works so well with kids. One of my wedding vendors couldn't believe how her work was highlighted by his photography and said she'd never had someone take such amazing photos of her work. Thank you Chris, we look forward to more sessions in the future!

Megan is fantastic. We have been going to her ever since our twins had two week old pictures done…read more We've brought other family members, we've referred her, and I cannot say enough about her.

I cannot say enough good things about working with Ethan. I hate having my picture taken but really…read moreneeded some updated photos for work purposes. Ethan made it easy and fun--our hour flew by! He was incredibly prepared and professional as well as just nice, which goes a long way in my book. Not only did he pick a great spot, he got there early and made every minute count. Last but not least, he got the pictures back to me the next day (on a long weekend!), far faster than he promised. And as if that weren't enough, he gave me a ton more photos than what I paid for. (I almost feel like I shouldn't say that, because I don't want people to come to expect it. :) But wow!) The bottom line: book this guy. He's local, he's talented, he goes above and beyond. I'm looking forward to doing a family shoot with him in the future and would recommend him for grad photos, family celebrations, and more.

Jessica Heuar is an extraordinary photographer…read more She captured photos of my 7 grandkids and me, ages 3 to 12 and everything in between. The photos feel natural and not posed at all, because she magically led the kids into being their sweet selves. I'm a photographer myself, and I take lots of photos of my grans. But besides selfies with them, I can't really capture the natural, real interaction between myself and these grans I adore. Jessica made it happen, outside among zinnias with a windmill in the background. Now I have the photos on my Aura frame, and I smile every day as each one rotates through. Some photos were of all of us together. Others were of the cousins, who only see each other every two years, and she captured the connection they have with each other. A grandmother's dream come true. These kids, especially the boys, were super active and inattentive, but Jessica got them to be their natural selves without forcing it. I highly recommend Jessica to anyone who wants natural photos.

She even has a style guide ready and gave me feedback on the outfits I chose for my family. We decided on Metzgers Zinnia patch (highly recommend!) and Jessica did a great job putting us at ease every step of the way. We all felt awkward at the start but she had us laughing and moving and we all relaxed instantly. I have 3 kids and can't believe how many beautiful photos we have of all 3 smiling and looking at the camera! She is so good with children and really helped them open up and show their true personalities in each photo. I havent felt my best since having my third baby but Jessica captured me in a way that truly made me feel beautiful. Looking through the album makes me teary eyed at just how perfectly she was able to capture this moment in time for our family, when all my kids are little and crazy and fun. I highly recommend Jessica to anyone needing photos done!

My sons first birthday pictures came out amazing! I loved them all! Emily was just phenomenal!!…read moreFrom booking with Emily she was so kind and got back to me in a timely manner. Then from planning and what I envisioned how I wanted the pics, Emily already had something in mind which was so helpful. Pricing was great and what her packaged offered. Flexible with days and hours was a plus for me since I work. Comes to the day of the pictures, Emily was already at the park setting up and when it came to taking the pictures she was so patient with my son it took him awhile to see what we were doing. Emily went way beyond expectations and I appreciate it so much! Then finally the day came and the pictures were perfect! She provided many for me to choose but I couldn't because I love them all! I will be using Emily photography in the near future and definitely recommend! You will not regret it!

It's been a month since our wedding, and I was finally starting to come down from the wedding…read morehigh... but then Raymond sent over our wedding videos, and just like that, I'm back on cloud nine, reliving every beautiful moment all over again. From start to finish, Raymond and his videography team, Bang and Logan, were absolutely amazing. Raymond was so easy to communicate with, incredibly sweet, and beyond accommodating. His understanding and flexibility made the days leading up to our wedding so much smoother, and that meant more to us than he probably knows. Bang and Logan were just as wonderful to work with. They gave clear directions, made us feel comfortable, and were so patient and understanding throughout the day. With my husband's health, we had to take things a little slower and squeeze in breaks whenever needed. The team was incredibly accommodating and worked with us every step of the way, never making us feel rushed. That level of care and understanding truly made a difference. And can we talk about their turnaround time?! They delivered our videos even faster than promised, which was such a huge plus! One thing about your wedding day is that everything happens SO fast. You spend months planning every little detail, and then suddenly, the day is over before you know it. There are moments you miss, little details you don't get to fully take in, and memories that feel like a blur. Having these videos allows us to slow down, relive those moments, and experience the magic of our wedding day all over again. Watching everything brought back so much joy, love, and emotion. The Passion Studio team did such an incredible job capturing one of the most important days of our lives. We're beyond grateful to have these memories to look back on for years to come. Thank you, Raymond, Bang, and Logan, for not only capturing our wedding so beautifully but also for being so kind, patient, and understanding throughout the entire process. You guys were truly a dream to work with, and we couldn't be happier with how everything turned out!
