Wonderful photography by Paul. The photos turned out so beautifully and we very happy with how they…read morecame out. We booked my maternity shoot at 31 week pregnant and our location off the road at a river/hike was near the start to Mt. Baldy. Paul chose the best spot and was a perfect vibe for us cause we are nature, down to earth people. We did about 1.5 session exploring the area on the hike and near the river. Paul was a great guidance in getting us in a photogenic position and to be happy. I believe he captured our joy and happiness in the photos. He had such an eye for detail and color. We had a great experience with Paul and forever grateful for capturing a beautiful moment our first baby pregnancy.

Paul and Leanne are SO TALENTED and a JOY to work with. We hired them to photograph our wedding…read moreand we'll be hiring them again for future shoots, that's for sure. Their talent and eye for shots is incredible; I still can't believe how some of our photographs turned out. He turned a very shy, introverted woman into a model! He and Leanne know how to direct you to make you LOOK GOOD. We had a very long day, with an early morning wedding ceremony, followed by family portraits, then off-location wedding party shots, and a nearly 6-hour evening reception. They both were with us from the moment we got ready to the very end and their enthusiasm, professionalism, and creativity NEVER WANED.

We found SHMILY on yelp, and planned to take pre wedding photos in June 2020. We contacted them…read moreover email but they preferred wechat. Due to COVID we did have to reschedule for an unexpected time, and the company was very flexible. We had our photos taken in July with Frank, Annie, and Ethan. They were very professional, and kind. Frank (the photographer) really has an eye for the way the natural light works in every setting. You can really tell he loves his job. Annie was the make up artist, and help me select a dress. She was so sweet! Ethan was the photographer assistant and he was joyful to work with. There is a slight language barrier, they spoke Chinese but everything was communicated well. All the photos turned out amazing. And we had such a good experience! We recommend it to anyone in the area to take their prewedding photos with them!

My husband and I found Shmily after months of debating whether to go back to Taipei for our…read moreengagement photo shoots (with more considerations now with Covid situation), and we just finished the photo shoots yesterday!! It was well planned by Frank(photographer) and his wife Annie(make up artist), to capture the most beautiful moments we had in the bay area! Frank did lots of research and prep for the shoots, from iconic SF downtown to the scenic Muir Woods. he captured every moment so well! I was able to see some of our pictures and they were all breath taking! Annie is hands down one of the most amazing make up artists! she played such an important part of the whole experience as she listened attentively to what I'd like to look like (I showed her some pictures of the vintage look, and she used her "magic" and everything turned out gorgeous and beautiful!),and doing anything she can to make sure things move smoothly! Thank you Shmily Photo, especially Frank and Annie, who have made yesterday one of the best memories I will always look back and savor! Highly recommend this team to my family, friends, and anyone who's looking for high quality and unforgettable photography for a life time memory :)

From the very beginning, we knew Foto.Love was something special. After our first meeting with…read moreChris, we were completely at ease. His professionalism, transparency, and thorough communication set the tone for everything that followed. He walked us through the process so clearly that we didn't even need to ask many questions--he was already one step ahead. It was clear from the start that Chris and his team were invested in making our wedding day not just beautiful, but truly unforgettable. On the wedding day itself, the two videographers sent by Foto.Love were absolutely phenomenal. They captured every magical moment with such artistry, yet they were so discreet that we hardly even noticed they were filming. Every shot was thoughtful and meaningful, and their presence added to the calm, joy-filled energy of our day. After the wedding, Chris once again delivered with clear and supportive communication, giving us honest timelines and updates during the editing process. He was also incredibly patient as I chose the perfect music for our films--he truly wanted everything to reflect our vision. Now, thanks to the Foto.Love team, we have not just one, but three stunning wedding films that are nothing short of spectacular. They are flawless, cinematic, and emotional in all the best ways. Every time we watch them, we are transported back to the best day of our lives. I would relive our wedding in a heartbeat, and Foto.Love is a huge part of why it was so perfect. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you, Chris and the entire team, for capturing our love story so beautifully.

He's on top of all the little details that you wouldn't think of. The train on my dress was always in the perfect spot. Our pictures came back so quick and the editing is phenomenal. For our bridals, the rocks in the background were covered in graffiti. He edited out every single marking and it's completely unnoticeable. The pictures exceeded all my hopes, dreams, and expectations! Chris is amazing!
