    How to start this review... my husband usually looks like a prison inmate in photos, so I was concerned that he might give out this murderous groom vibe in our wedding photos. Thus, the challenge ahead of me to find a photographer that not only captures our personality but to obtain photos without the staged/photoshopped element. Believe me, I went through a dozen different portfolios and a lot of wedding photos are very staged. I'm not a person that likes to pose, and clearly, my husband doesn't smile in photos, so when he does, it can come off unnatural. It's like Chandler in Friends, who can't give a decent smile in a photo. Then there are photographers who photoshop the hell out of photos and make it look like it should be in the spread of Vogue, and that's not us either. We are not glamorous people (sometimes), and all I want are elegant, soft, and natural looking wedding photos that would not embarrass me for the years to come. I then came across photos from the University Club of Palo Alto (where my wedding was held), and saw Kien's signature on some of the photos. I quickly researched him and we set up an appointment to chat. Kien is very friendly and open, he's a world traveler (jealous), and he has such a passion for life that you can see that through his work. I am so happy to have hired him as a photographer, because he worked nonstop during my wedding and really captured beautiful photos. We never felt forced with Kien, and we never felt like we over did the photos or it felt cheesy, he was very good at putting us at ease and making the shots natural. I'm definitely pleased with the outcome and I would highly recommend Kien to capture your next big event!

    Kien did an amazing job on our wedding! I wanted to find someone that would capture the emotion of the day, not just staged shots. He did such a beautiful job on the journalistic style I was looking for. From spending extra time with us on the engagement shoot, to truly go out of his way to get to know us, it felt like we got extra attention every step of the way. He even climbed up a redwood to get a great angle for a shot! I would work with Kien again in a heartbeat and tell all my friends to hire him. I love the pictures from our day and the perfect album he put together for us.

    Beautiful work by Kien Lam Photography

I actually found Jennifer after searching online for photographers in San Francisco and her work immediately stood out. Her style felt fresh and unconventional -- more documentary and journalistic than traditional -- and I especially loved her use of black and white photography, which was a big reason we chose her. The day started at our hotel, where she jumped between our separate rooms to capture my wife and me getting ready. Before she had even gotten to our rooms, she had already scouted the perfect location for our first look. The moment was absolutely incredible, and she handled everything; we didn't have to do a thing but follow her lead. That professional confidence continued at City Hall. She has a masterful familiarity with the building. She took full control of the shoot, guiding us as she told us exactly where to stand, how to pose, and where to move next so we could just relax and enjoy the moment. As a photographer myself, I really appreciated her confidence and professionalism. All we had to do was follow instructions and be present. She knows San Francisco City Hall inside and out -- the lighting, the angles, the timing, and the key locations that truly matter -- every shot felt deliberate and it showed. The technical skill here is top-notch-- the compositions were beautiful, the balance of each frame was spot-on, and her gorgeous color grading. We received around 300 images, and the quality is so consistent that I plan to print every last one of them in large format to ensure we have a permanent physical archive. When we received the final package, we were so touched -- she sent our photos on a beautiful USB drive along with printed images, some sweets, and other thoughtful details. It was the perfect finishing touch to a genuinely wonderful experience. If you're getting married at City Hall -- or anywhere in San Francisco -- Jennifer Michelson / A Girl and a Camera is exceptional. Thank you Jennifer! Laura and Junior.

They were professional, attentive, and so easy to have around on such an important day. What we absolutely loved was Jennifer's eye for the little moments. Beyond the portraits and formal shots, she captured the quiet glances, the spontaneous laughter, and all the small details that made our wedding day feel like ours. We can't recommend Jennifer highly enough!

She did such an awesome job! Jasmine was a pleasure to work with. She helped put our minds at ease, recommended other vendors, and was super professional and well-organized. She laid out a detailed photo timeline, which gave us the structure we needed to know how the entire day would play out. I don't usually feel very photogenic, but she and her team showed us how to pose and framed our pictures in a way that made them look effortless and carefree, which we truly appreciated. After the wedding, she even sent us some sneak peek photos capturing everything from getting ready to the end of the night. She and her partner, Ben, really captured the magic of the moment for us. I couldn't be happier and can't wait to see the rest of the photos! If you're looking for a great photographer with a keen eye for what will look amazing, look no further. Picking Jasmine will be one of the best decisions you can make for your wedding!

He's very professional, friendly, quick to respond, and just amazing to work with overall. I had just started wedding planning when I ran into a friend who told me Augie was their photographer and shared his info. We had looked through a number of photographers, but Augie's work stood out to us through all of it--his photos truly captured the feeling of each moment, and we loved everything in his portfolio. When we reached out, he responded so quickly and answered all our questions right away. For our engagement shoot, it was my husband's first time doing a formal photoshoot. Augie came very prepared, offered great tips, and made us feel completely at ease. He was so easy to talk to and work with, and we genuinely had such a fun time with him! He was also flexible with timing and weather to make sure we could get the best lighting. We were blown away by his ability to notice something special in just a few seconds and turn it into a beautifully captured moment. For our wedding day, Augie was even more impressive. I had shared our (very full) itinerary with him ahead of time, and I was surprised to notice that he knew it by heart. When we started running behind, he gently but efficiently helped move things along. Even though it was his first time at our venue, he had an incredible eye for finding perfect spots, turning a simple fence into a magical backdrop. He worked seamlessly around the golfers at our venue, guiding us at the right times and capturing the sweetest in-between moments. He also accommodated all our specific requests, including photos with our sports car and dress details. We absolutely love our wedding photos and all the special moments he preserved. We were also so impressed with how fast he sent us our sneak peek photos--it was such a fun surprise to get highlights so quickly. Overall, I can't stress enough how grateful we are for Augie and everything he captured during our engagement shoot and wedding day. We're so happy with all the memories he helped capture that we will cherish forever, and I truly can't recommend him enough.

He was able to quickly provide estimates, timeline, tips on wedding planning and much more. On the day of the wedding, Augie was a joy to work with and really knew how to coach two people that are usually awkward in front of a camera. It is clear he is intimately familiar with San Francisco City Hall and other popular photoshoot spots around the city. His coaching and skill produced amazing photographs beyond our expectations. He also surprised us with his cantonese, helping corral my family members to get the perfect shot. We were very satisfied with booking Augie. After working with him, we consider him a friend, not just a photographer.

They were the first vendor we booked after securing our venue, so we got to know them over the course of the year leading up to our wedding in August 2025. After coming across their photos when researching different potential photographers that had experience at our venue, we were very interested in meeting them. We had an initial video call with them and knew immediately that we wanted to book them for such a critical part of our wedding journey. There aren't enough words to describe how skilled and professional they are--they are amazing photographers (individually and as a duo) and clearly love what they do. Our proposal photoshoot was the only prior experience we had in terms of taking professional photos as a couple. We met them in person for the first time at our engagement photoshoot--they immediately made us feel comfortable and were seriously thoughtful about the entire process, whether it was the location choices, minute-by-minute weather changes/forecast, outfit changes, etc. It really feels like they plan for everything and care about the little details. When we asked them about another vendor they would potentially work with on the day of our wedding, they even referenced notes they made when they had worked with them for a prior wedding. Throughout the whole process, they were prompt communicators (frequently responding to an email within minutes!) and guided us with experience and patience that we really appreciated. Whenever we had something to discuss with them (including choices we needed to make as a couple), they never hesitated to give us suggestions and feedback. Even if they offered an alternative suggestion to an idea of ours, it always felt like they genuinely cared and they wanted what we wanted, and it never felt like criticism. We received our wedding photos just about 2 months after our wedding, and we love every single one of them (all 667)! They are truly the best photographers to work with and just lovely people to be around. We definitely plan to keep in touch with them for future photoshoots! :) TL;DR: You should have booked A Tale Ahead Photography yesterday!!
