    We worked with Usman for a two day wedding in Sacramento in 2023. It was an absolute delight to be able to work with him and his team. Our parents, family, friends, and I absolutely loved working with Usman because he catered the pictures to our style, likings, and culture, and captured candid shots of people having a good time. Even the the shots that he asked us to pose for felt natural, personalized, and comfortable. Most importantly, he was also very good at adapting to things that were not planned in the schedule. One of the things we loved most was the fact that he printed photos of elderly guests and gave it to them right away. Since elderly members don't always have phones, this was his way of making them feel immediately included. Usman brings a lot of these thoughtful and considerate touches which we had not even thought to ask. Additionally, we can confidently vouch for how professional, prepared, and punctual Usman is. On the wedding day, Usman and his team were ready ahead of time and we consistently ran ahead of schedule. He was also very creative with making the most of the venues we were at and capturing details related to the decor, food, and our attires. We could not have asked for a better wedding photographer and videographer. We highly highly recommend that you choose Usman to be a part of your big day

    From the Bride: The one thing we asked Usman, is to capture candid pictures. We are not too fond of pictures that you have to pose for. Our pictures are amazing and we got in back in 5 weeks after our wedding!! He took so many great memorable photos. The pictures came back with vivid colors and he caught the apex of each moment. We are having a difficult time picking ones that we would like to print and display in our home. He was easy to work with. I would definitely recommend him to be a part of your special day. You will not be disappointed. From the Groom: I agree.

    My husband and I would like to have Usman as not only our photographer for any and every event that should be photographed but also have him as a dear friend because we LOVED HIM! He was so sweet and professional from the start, working with us for the perfect photography package tailored to our unique day. He made us forget our awkwardness in front of the camera and also captured all our special moments. He was also incredibly adaptable and accommodating during the busiest parts of our wedding, that we couldn't have asked for anything more perfect. He even took some of his own time to drive us to an area where we had to climb under a fence in order to meet our spontaneous request for a picture with the SF skyline. You honestly couldn't ask for better.

    We've had annual family photo sessions with Hilary for the past five years (and even two sessions…read morein one year!), and she has been phenomenal every single time. She's wonderful with our kids--whether it was a newborn, a fussy toddler, or now more cooperative school-aged kids, she's been able to capture beautiful moments through every stage. One year my younger daughter was especially shy and grumpy about photos, but you'd never know it from the gorgeous images Hilary delivered. She's also great with pets and even got our dog to "smile" at the camera for a few shots this year! We included my parents in a session one year, and Hilary handled the larger family group seamlessly. She also has a great eye for locations, whether it's a tried-and-true spot or somewhere new, and she always makes the most of the setting. On top of that, her pricing is very reasonable, especially since you get to keep all the images from your session, and she's always prompt with delivery. Hilary makes family photos stress-free and fun, and the results are consistently stunning--we look forward to working with her every year.

    We had the most wonderful experience with Hilary taking family photos! She was so great with our 2…read moreyear old and 6 month old, which is no easy feat.

We will definitely be booking with her for our next session. Highly recommend!

Laurie made the session relaxed and fun--I was laughing most of the time. That makes for some good headshots. Better yet, I wanted some outdoor shots for my website, and Laurie was not only willing, but enthusiastic about hiking up Mt. Tam to get some good views. The resulting photos are wonderful, natural, and relaxed--which is amazing to see because in reality it was freezing out because the fog was coming in. But I was having so much fun with the outdoor session that it did not phase me, nor my facial expressions. Note: I have worked with Laurie in the past, as well, and am always impressed by her mixture of professionalism and laughter. How does she make projects so fun?

    I really liked the tone and style of Laurie's work so when it was time for me to get a new…read moreprofessional portrait, I knew exactly who to call. We chatted on the phone first to discuss what I needed. Laurie listened carefully, asked questions about my vision and had great suggestions. Right before the shoot, she had tips about hair, make-up and clothing that were very helpful since I was doing this on my own. At the shoot, Laurie helped me feel relaxed and made sure I was comfortable when I posed for a shot. She tried a couple of different spots within the area we were at to see how the architectural details and lighting would play out. She believes that part of the process is to explore and play around to see what might work best, which I completely agreed with. I only needed 1 but walked away with a couple great portraits that I can now proudly use in my work life. Laurie was very professional and responsive, and amazingly personable, fun and easy-going at the same time. This is a winning combination for me so if it sounds the same to you, then you'll love working with her.

    Jessie has a rare gift: she makes you feel seen before she ever picks up the camera…read more I came to Luminous Space for personal branding photography, not entirely sure how to show up or what I wanted the images to say about me. Jessie held the whole thing with such steady presence that the uncertainty dissolved quickly. She asked the right questions, created real ease in the space, and then got out of the way and let the session breathe. The editing is exceptional. The final images are honest and alive, not overproduced. They look like me on my best day, which is exactly what this kind of work requires. If you are a founder, practitioner, or creative who needs photographs that actually carry your essence, Jessie is the real thing.

    Buyer beware. The shoot went fine, but the photo I got out of it was not…read more First of all, note that she only releases *one* photo to you--one raw and one edited version! This is not at all clear from the website marketing, which states: * Photos Taken: 30-50 images * Retouched Images: 1 professionally edited photo (selected on-site) Apparently you also get only 1 raw image, though this is not stated. You have to immediately go through a lengthy three-phase process to choose that photo --no consulting with friends/partners. Okay, so maybe I should have found the fine print, but it turns out "professionally edited" means "created by AI." It generated an image that looks like a 25-year-old digital avatar of me, quite different from the original photo. The website also claims that "We offer 2 rounds of free revisions," but I have not received a response a week after asking for one. So, I'm using the raw image, which is fine.
