Francis and his assistant shot our wedding at Stanford Memorial Church and the faculty club there…read more Fabulous photos, quiet moments, special moments--they caught it all. He did artsy photos that we really appreciated after the fact. It took us 5 years to order our album (we do not have many physical albums and bought this upfront as part of our wedding package to ensure we would have one), and he never hassled us about it and was able to deliver the same quality and results as what we saw before our wedding day. A note about skin tone since I see it was mentioned in another review. We have a multicultural group of friends and family and were specifically seeking a photographer who could balance the needs of all the tones. Francis Fine Art absolutely delivered.

What a waste of all our money spent on this guy Francis! We…read moregot a referral from our wedding planner for this photographer unfortunately. First of all, he was late for our session. Worst of all, almost all the photos he took at our evening banquet was awful because he used the flash inappropriately, making my face (the bride) looked like geisha with uneven make up and way too white. Hence I could not show these photos to our friends and family, and we had over 160 guests from the Bay Area, England, Hong Kong, Canada, Seattle, Washington DC etc! These defects can be photoshop and edited (a friend who is a photographer did a few for me with nice results) but it just takes time. So I asked Francis a few times to edit them. The first two times all he did was to just make all the photos dimmer, but the defeat is still there. And when I showed him what my friend the photographer did and asked him to edit them the same way, he just stopped answering my multiple calls! What a scam this person is. He refused to return our money.

They took extremely stunning photos, with brilliant color and angles. I requested three real estate property photoshoot with them in the last month, and all of them were extremely good. My listings showed very well, and many poeple told me that they went to the open house because of the beautiful photos. My clients were extremely satisfied, and they feel the whole house was shinnning. They combine their expertise with professionalism. They are extremely responsive, and are very willing to work with their clients. So far absolutely the best i've worked with, and I highly recommend them to everyone!

We recently hired Sheharyar Malik, of Capture Corp Media, to take photos of our rental property…read more Sheharyar was excellent to work with!! He took time to set up each shot and was open to questions/suggestions during the shoot. In the past, we've hired other photographers, but they were always rushed and just wanted to quickly finish. Sheharyar never made us feel like that. He's very easy to talk to and truly loves what he does. He wants you to be happy with his work and makes sure to get every angle in, just right. He showed us recent pictures, of a home he photographed in the East Bay. The photos were so beautiful and really showcased every aspect of the craftsman house. We highly recommend Sheharyar, for all your professional photography needs!

They are professional, kind, and respectful to work with. All of our guests have given us feedback on how friendly and accomodating they both were, taking pictures of everyone who asked and being extremely friendly. I love their style of photography as well. They know how to capture the moment. My husband and I don't like to pose for pictures, so they knew how to capture those moments that would be so precious to us. I can't recommend them enough!!!

We had the pleasure of working with Rucha for an engagement ceremony we hosted…read more Rucha arrived on time and immediately brought a warm, welcoming presence that put everyone at ease. She connected right away with the bride and groom to be, and also with family and friends, making the entire photography process feel natural and enjoyable. She was very professional... she suggested thoughtful poses and framing ideas to choosing the right locations and lighting while simultaneously taking feedback about what we as her customer wanted. She proactively asked questions about what was planned so that no important moment was missed. She also kept a mental checklist of family members and guests, making sure everyone was included in the photographs, which we deeply appreciated. Her turnaround time was quick, and the final photographs were of excellent quality, beautifully capturing both the emotions and the spirit of the occasion. We wholeheartedly recommend Rucha to anyone looking for a talented, reliable, and thoughtful photographer for their special occasions.

Working with him was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding! MP was so professional throughout the process, taking the time to have several chats with us to go over the photography schedule and other little details. We're especially grateful to him and Melvin for making us (and our families) feel comfortable throughout the day, reassuring us as we worked to capture a number of shots on a time crunch - as always happens! The photos turned out even better than we could have hoped for - these are moments we'll cherish forever. We cannot recommend MP and his team enough!

MP was incredible from the very beginning; he spoke with us multiple times before the big day to make sure he understood exactly what we wanted. We requested mostly candid photos since my husband isn't a big fan of taking photos, and they absolutely delivered. Both photographers arrived on time, fully prepared, and ready to go. They captured everything we asked for, but also helped guide us through poses when we weren't sure what we wanted. Leading up to the wedding, they even offered thoughtful suggestions for our timeline to ensure we had the best chance of getting all the photos we hoped for. They didn't just meet our expectations, they exceeded them. The final results were breathtaking, far beyond anything we imagined. Every moment was captured beautifully. MP and his team are worth every single penny. If you're looking for stunning, editorial-style photos, he's your guy. An easy 10/10!! absolutely amazing!

In our search for the right photographer for our wedding, we wanted to find someone who would be…read moreable to capture candid moments as well as posed shots, and someone who was familiar with our wedding venue. When we met the group at The Great Bridal Expo, we were impressed with their portfolio and with how many people were gathered around their booth. We mentioned where our wedding was, and Van grabbed one of their albums to show us exactly what we could look forward to since they had worked a wedding at our venue in the past. He quickly gained my trust with his knowledge of the area. Shortly after attending the Bridal Fair, I contacted Michael's Wedding Group to ask some more questions. Sue responded to my email within hours of sending it! She really is great at communicating with their clients. Although I do love to look at beautiful engagement photos, I didn't want our session to be by that one tree at that one park. I imagined something different and more fun. We originally chose to have our engagement session at The Color Factory, but we weren't able to get tickets to any of the slots. We did, however, manage to snag some tickets for the first week that The Museum of Ice Cream opened in San Francisco. Sue was very patient as we tried to coordinate all of our schedules while we tried to get the super coveted tickets to MOIC. Michael met us at the Museum of Ice Cream and we had the best engagement session I could imagine! It resulted in a lot of awesome pictures, delicious treats, and we felt really comfortable while having our pictures taken at a public place with lots of people watching. Van and Israel were our photographers on our wedding day. I sent them an extensive list of must-have photos before our big day, and they were able to capture everything and more! Van was very efficient and has a great eye. Israel was our second photographer and helped make sure the lighting was just right. My entire bridal party was comfortable with them as they captured special moments throughout the day. Something I really appreciate when it comes to vendors is how real they are. It's nice to talk to vendors who genuinely make a connection as someone who wants the best result for you, and not just someone you're hiring. All of our encounters with the group reflect this- both in person and online. You should be comfortable with everything regarding your wedding. Michael's Wedding Group is easy to talk to, they're very friendly, they know what they're doing, and they are definitely the way to go for your big day!

I approached Van asking…read morehim if they had done any hybrid Vietnamese and Filipino weddings and his respond was "of course!". He showed us some of the samples they had done through out the years and it looked awesome. We did not only wanted someone who can take good photos but also someone that knows the etiquette of our culture. We went with Michael's Wedding Group and requested that Van to be our main photographer on the wedding day. We took our engagement photos a couple months after hiring them and Michael and Sean was our photographer for the shoot. The pictures came out beautifully and we knew that our wedding day was going to be better. Our wedding day consisted of Van and Sean as our main photographers. They were with us the whole time from the early morning to the tea ceremony, the actual ceremony and at the reception. Van was too cool! We was speaking Vietnamese to my family since some of the older folks didn't understand English well. He knew the etiquette of the culture and executed it really well. Sean was also all over the place doing his thing and taking pictures. We received our final photos two months after our wedding day. Sean edited them and they turned out great. The price we paid was reasonable compared to other photographers that my wife and I met with. It's the quality of their work, service and price that makes this a 5 star review. "It was a pleasure working with you guys and thank you!"

These latest family photos are phenomenal, from the lighting, to the positioning to the captured smiles of my three young boys (told you I was picky).
