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!

Alina was absolutely splendid!! As a bride, I felt incredibly calm and taken care of. Her voice was…read moresoothing, she gave direction without push, and she captured everything I wanted and even the things I never thought of. She gave all direction of movement, yet the pictures came out so authentically us. I have no idea how she did it. It was her first time shooting at our venue, and we didn't have a wedding coordinator. So she had to both mark out all the couple-only shots and manage time for our friend and family pics within 90min (the reservation cap for our venue). She did this all while making us happy and comfortable. Book her immediately, you'll be glad you did! Attaching some of the pics I currently have just a day out from the wedding, but more pics to come!

We worked with Alina by sharing our preferred photo spots and some inspo photos to communicate a "vibe" we liked. Alina offered some great new ideas, too. On the wedding day, Alina managed to capture the magic of all the details -- candid shots of our friends and family, snapshots of the venue and florals, and more. We had such a blast looking at the album; it was like reliving the day! The true joy, however, was sharing our photos with our family. They shared that the pictures were show-stopping and have repeatedly asked for prints for themselves! (Lots of, "and your photographer was just incredible, truly.") They cannot believe how spectacular our photos turned out, and we have to agree. Our jaws were on the floor looking through the album! Shooting with Alina was comfortable, too. She is such a sweet soul and I only hope I have a chance to work with her again in the future! Thanks, Alina, for capturing our special day -- so glad we can return to these pictures to remember it!

In my search for a family photographer, Tumay's work immediately caught my eye. I liked the style,…read moreintimacy and emotion captured in her photos and knew that I wanted her to capture memories of our growing family. She was very responsive and friendly in our communication, and the booking process was easy. When an unexpected event occurred and I needed to reschedule, she was gracious and allowed for flexibility. Upon meeting Tumay for our shoot, she exuberated warmth and friendliness. It is obvious she has experience working with kids, as our 5 year old took to her right off the bat. She has a natural way of making everyone feel at ease. I liked her approach to getting natural looking shots instead of awkwardly posing; she suggests simple movements to engage the kids. Tumay's vibe brought the best out of all of us (1.5 year old, 5 year old, mom, dad) and we enjoyed moving through Park Presidio with her to catch the light streaming through the trees. Tumay provided an album for review in less than a week and I fell in love with the photos. They are everything that I hoped for in capturing the essence of our family with two young kids. They bring me so much joy and I am so happy to be able to cherish these memories in the years to come! I am already thinking about when we will get another opportunity to shoot with Tumay. Her skill and talent is truly unique.

But what was extraordinary were his photos when looking through all the various photographer's work. Dramatic, chic, sassy, romantic, edgy if you want it to be, unique. While many photographers can capture your moments, I felt Sasha also made your moments. I find myself somewhat a creative person being a marketing executive for over 20 years, a painter, and have a degree in Fine Arts... Sasha is a true artist. I was equally impressed that Sasha had an extensive questionnaire he wanted you and your partner to complete. He really wanted to get to know the couple and their personalities so he could compose the photo shoot in advance... already knowing which spots he wanted to take you and what poses he wanted you to do. This made the photo shoot much more efficient... maximizing his time and hence your value. I cannot express how personable Sasha was. All my friends were thoroughly impressed with his professionalism and friendliness... all commented on how personable he was, making everyone feel at ease. He even invited some of them to do some shots with their families. Can't wait to show them their photos. Planned, yet nimble... that's the way to roll!! Fantastic job Sasha!! You are a gift to the photography world!! Bravo!!

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.
