Diep at Warm Heart Photography is a godsend - we appreciate her patience (with us and our Filipino…read morefamilies) and being so knowledgeable about San Francisco City Hall to help us get the perfect shot every time. In planning she was open to some editing preferences of mine, a very long shot request list, and she gave us recommendations for videographers she worked with in the past and that's how we found Nelvir Pictures. For sure we wouldn't have got these amazing pictures if not for her. She spoke to other photographers and the people walking about at City Hall and advocated for us to get the space and clearance we needed when she had an idea for a shot. She was straightforward with us about navigating to our second location, Golden Gate Park/Conservatory of Flowers on a Tuesday during rush hour. She's literally the strongest photographer I know, and she even did our wedding on her birthday!! We got sneak peeks after the first week and the entire gallery back in about six weeks, though it depends on her workload. Her editing is flawless. I'm so so glad we met, we made the right choice for our big day

We are so happy we chose Warm Heart Photography (Diep) for both our engagement and wedding day…read morephotos. For our engagement shoot, she was incredibly friendly, responsive, and was very accommodating--even bringing a quick-change tent! She made sure to capture every shot we wanted from our shot list, and the photos turned out absolutely stunning and ethereal (exactly like we had envisioned). On our wedding day, Warm Heart Photography was equally amazing. Despite the hectic environment, Diep and her second shooter came prepared, was professional and adapted seamlessly to the ever changing environment. They worked hard to get every shot on our list, and the photos turned out beautiful and candid. (There were so many nice shots, that it was hard to choose our favorites!) They did such an amazing job with capturing everything on the day. We didn't have time to soak in everything around us, but with the photos, we were able to relive the day! Diep has a great work ethic and we wouldn't hesitate to refer her to our friends and family. We're so grateful for her talent, dedication, and kindness throughout the entire process. If you're looking for a photographer who truly cares about her clients and will do everything she can to capture your vision, Diep is the one!

Lily has a calm, easygoing way about her that made it feel much more relaxed than I expected. She guided me without over-directing, kept things moving efficiently, and somehow managed to get a bunch of shots I actually really like (which is saying something). The session itself was quick, but I never felt rushed. She gave me plenty of great options to choose from. I also got the final photos back about a week later, which was a nice, quick turnaround. Lily is warm, professional, and clearly knows exactly what she's doing. I would absolutely recommend Lily Dong Photography to anyone who needs quality photos, especially if you're a little camera-shy like me.

Her kind nature and encouragement during the shoot made me relax and enjoy the process. I actually HAD FUN!! I researched hundreds of local photographers around Napa and beyond, and I choose Angie. I LOVED her style and what she does! After our phone consult, I was immediately ready to book because I KNEW she was my woman! The headshots I already had were boring, they did not capture who I am and I wanted photos that relayed my personality, and she absolutely DID! I'm really excited to get these beautiful photos out via business cards and social media to grow my real estate business. They really capture my personality - and are so DISTINCTIVE! Angie also talked me into taking some shots 'just in case' in an outfit I had brought for the shoot but didn't really "love." The shots taken in that outfit were actually my favorite!!! And the outfit I thought was going to be my favorite didn't work out so well - Angie had predicted that too! The best parts of our time together are the AMAZING PHOTOS - and meeting Angie! If you're considering getting new headshots and personal branding photos done, DO IT! This was the best investment I've made in myself! The whole experience was motivating! Just take the time to explain what you're goals are, be clear, and trust Angie. She knows what she's doing! She has a great eye for angles, setting, and a clear but fun way of directing you. The photos Angie took are honestly the best I've had taken in my LIFE - and I'm 62!!

At the start, we were unsure of how to convey what we do - provide incredible sailing adventures to small and intimate groups - and how this fantastic lifestyle could be translated into photos. Well, we nailed it! The photos Angie Capri took are so full of life, and just the spirit we wanted to convey through our marketing and advertising. We had a lot of moving pieces (literally) and people. She was very good at keeping us all organized and on track, without making it feel "staged". The whole experience felt super authentic. Angie made everyone feel welcome and comfortable. The whole group felt relaxed and free to just be themselves! I love all of the fun we all had. There was definitely never a dull moment. She was a fantastic director! Angie will make the whole experience a blast! She is professional, focused, and incredibly fun (even while battling motion sickness too!). We are beyond thrilled with our new and improved brand image. We started sharing our new photos online immediately, and can't wait to begin updating our printed marketing materials too!

After the event, Poplife sent a link over to download all the images at once, but we were able to download them from links texted to our phones or Airdrop the images to ourselves at the event.

They even offered to help us film some short-form reels for social media! I was impressed with Sam's attention to detail in making sure every shot was perfect. I also appreciated how willing the team was to work with us on edits. We had an initial first draft deadline, and they helped deliver that to us super quick. We gave them a list of notes after that first draft, and they were able to help really make our vision come to life by the end!
