On the big day, she was an absolute joy -- calm, organized, and always exactly where she needed to be without ever feeling intrusive. She went above and beyond to make sure every special moment was beautifully captured, all while making us feel completely at ease. Her energy, creativity, and attention to detail were incredible. When we received our photos, we were blown away. Every single image is stunning -- full of emotion, love, and the little moments that made our day so special. Mariea didn't just take pictures; she told our story through her lens. We cannot recommend Mariea Rummel highly enough.

We worked with Chase for our wedding and booked him a year in advance. We found him through our…read morevenue and narrowed down our search based on his work and the personality that showed through on Instagram. When we had our first intro call, as predicted, we were hiring the coolest person that was going to do a great job and match our vibe. We officially met him in person at our engagement shot in the Bay Area and had a great time together. Chase delivered epic photos and continued to deliver at our recent wedding! At the end of our wedding day, he presented us with Polaroids of our day which was an unexpected surprise and excellent touch! Honestly I would hire him to do video too because he can make your day a cinematic masterpiece to cherish for years to come. Thank you Chase and Abbie! Check out his IG @heyitschasedaley

Chase was the second photographer for our wedding this past May. Our partnership was totally by…read morechance - the primary photographer that we hired was looking locally for a second photographer and ended up picking Chase. We are so so incredibly fortunate that she did! Chase was super professional, easy to talk to, and his work is phenomenal. He also had some unique ideas for poses/shots while we were doing our sunset photos. Since we had him present at the wedding as a photographer, we had NO idea that his primary work is in videography! Unbeknownst to us, Chase had taken a few short videos for us, and ended up stitching the clips together in a fabulous short reel. We did not hire a videographer for our wedding, but now we certainly wished we did! I'm so grateful that Chase was able to capture a few candid moments for us, and create a reel that we can look back on forever. It was honestly such a generous gesture - which just shows how great it is to work with him.

We completed two photoshoots with Jen, and she did a fantastic job…read more  Jen was professional, prepared, cordial, and simply put, made the entire process feel effortless. She had a wide selection of outfits and backdrops for our newborn, which was simply great. We were able to customize the photoshoot how we desired, without having to personally make outside purchases. We had a great open line of communication with her from start to end as well. We coordinated all elements of the photoshoots prior, to ensure the day of the photoshoot was seamless. Now the important part :) the photos came out amazing. Jen is very talented and highly skilled in her work. We're glad we had our newborn's photos taken with someone who pours so much effort and passion into their work/art. Plus, she has her way with newborns; able to soothe and prep them for the limelight :) You can't go wrong with Jen for your photoshoot. We highly recommend her to anyone who wants to memorialize a priceless/precious event.

When it came to planning our wedding, one of the most important things to me was to find the right…read morephotographer. What is the point of amazing decorations, flowers and food if there is no one there to capture the moment? After researching hundreds of local photographers, we narrowed the list to our top five based solely on their online photo galleries. Chris was the first one we scheduled a meeting with, and we ended up booking him the next day. Chris's philosophy at Shepard Photography matched our style perfectly; simple, clean and modern. We could not be happier with our choice. Chris includes an engagement session with all of his wedding packages, and at first we thought about trying to ask him to cut it out to save a little money. I am so glad we did not though, because the engagement session really was a great way to get comfortable with being photographed in a less stressful setting. As the wedding date neared, we met with Chris again. This time he wanted to check out the wedding site to get a better feel for what we were looking for in the final product. In that same day we traveled the extra half hour to our hotel where we planned on taking our wedding party photos. Throughout this meeting we put together a schedule for the big day and came up with a list of the photos we would like to have. We left that meeting feeling very confident that we had picked the perfect photographer for us. As the day neared the inevitable changes to the schedule needed to be made. Chris was great taking those changes, adjusting the schedule and getting us revised copies quickly. When the day finally arrived, Chris and his assistant/wife Angela were we right on time (unlike some other parts of our wedding entertainment). Chris was excellent working with our planner/caterer to make sure that everything moved along according to schedule. Seeing his past work and watching his professionalism had a calming effect on us during that stressful day. We knew that even if everything else didn't go perfectly we were going to get fantastic photos. We received over 400 pictures from Chris of our big day and they are fantastic! We would highly recommend him to any couples looking for a wedding photographer.

I know lovebirds don't like to think about what might happen if your wedding is cancelled or…read morepostponed ... but please make note of Chris' non-refundable clause in his contract. The deposit is non-refundable and the remaining balance is due in full if a cancellation is within 6 months of the wedding. Earlier this year, my wedding was called off 5 months out, and my family lost out on $3,000. He said he might consider refunding $2,000 of it if he was able to re-book the date and if I submitted a signed cancellation notice, but after I did so and paid the balance in full, I never heard from him again. After hearing me say such great things about Chris from our initial meeting, my mom found it hard to believe that he might not at least offer *some* service in exchange for the $3,000 he collected, such as a family portrait session. But when she reached out to him to inquire about it, her email went unanswered. In the interest of full disclosure, here's an excerpt from one of Chris' emails as to why he maintains the non-refundable clause: "I do need to protect my income, like most wedding venders, I have one to two cancelations a year. Even one wedding is a significant part of my income for my family. Since everything is booked up so far in advanced it is hard to fill cancelled dates with less than 6 months before the wedding." I scouted this guy for two years before asking him to shoot our wedding because I was so impressed with his talent behind the lens. I'm sorry to say I wasn't as impressed with his people skills. Please consider EVERYTHING when planning your wedding, folks. Even the "what ifs" ...
