Crystal was so amazing!…read moreShe was very empathetic and brought out the best emotions from both of us while being so considerate of my wife's limited mobility. I really liked that Crystal knew exactly how to guide us and made the best use of the location and time of day to capture the best natural light and come up with such stunning images! Oh and yes her turnaround was incredible -- no long waits and we had our photos with ample time for holiday greetings. I would so highly recommend Crystal and CL Image. Not only is she super talented and comes up with visually sensational shots, but she is so great to work with personally and can guide you through the shoot with ease. It was a lot of fun and we got amazing pics!

The photos she captured are stunning, the clean white background really allows the subject (baby/family/etc) to be front and center. She also had plenty of snacks to keep everyone fueled up. Corinne is definitely a baby whisperer because I needed to change my son's diaper when we arrived, which woke him up, and she was able to work her magic to get him back asleep. Corinne has a very warm and engaging personality, so I felt very comfortable being photographed by her. I would highly recommend her for newborn photos, and I wish we found her sooner for my older children.

Denise is phenomenal and she surrounds herself with a team that is professional, considerate and competent. There were a fair amount of questions I had to answer about which photos we wanted and this made me feel at ease knowing that the team would make sure I got all the photos I wanted for my special day. I ordered a boudoir photo package in addition to the wedding photos and video. The boudoir photo shoot was an incredible experience and Denise made me feel incredibly at ease and sexy as hell. I got the proofs and was able to view them in the studio - this was a special day and it was helpful having another set of eyes and also someone there to help me not be so critical of myself!! The final result was a book of photos of me feeling sexy, confident and amazing. My husband sat, mouth open, carefully going through each page and I felt like the most beautiful girl in the world. On our wedding day there were absolutely ZERO ISSUES. When Denise arrived, I breathed a sigh of relief, she took care of everything. I was confident that the pictures were going to be exactly what I wanted and then some. Overall, my experience with Modern Love was beyond anything I could have ever dreamed of. They know how to take incredible photos and have done a lot of training to ensure that they are getting photos that you not only see as visually beautiful but photos that make you feel something, photos that make you experience and witness the beauty and magic of a moment. Thank you Denise and all of Modern Love for an incredible day!!

This is honestly a hard review for me to write. I did love Denise and her personality, and I loved…read moremy engagement shoot that I did with Katie. But my wedding shoot was extremely, so extremely disappointing. We opted not to have a videographer and told people not to take pictures during the ceremony, so I'm just left with sad pictures( or the lack of pictures I guess). For starters, the photographers were 45 minutes late. I heard there was a lot of traffic, and I wonder if this is the first thing that threw everything off. We initially signed a contract for Denise and Katie as the second shooter, but we found out that Katie was promoted as a main photographer, so there was a new guy. The second photographer was nice but pretty useless. You could tell which photos he shot, and they were pretty poor. He did the groomsmen getting ready, but all of the photos are just close ups. The guys did a pillow fight (tradition with his friends), and every single one of them is just a close up of a man holding a pillow. Also, one of the reasons we chose the venue was due to its interior, and I spent a lot of time looking at wedding photos done inside the building. I remember asking for photos in the hallway and taking a bunch, but I didn't see any. I was told they couldn't shoot properly in there because of the lighting. I'm not sure why all the other photographers from that venue were able to get pictures, but I couldn't. We ended up with a handful of portraits, many of them disappointing because either my hair is blowing all over my face or my husband couldn't keep a straight face. We spent a good portion of our decorating budget on flowers, but I don't have a single photo of my centerpieces. My florist asked to add them to my portfolio, but I didn't have any to offer her. The biggest, most disappointing issue is that there are zero pictures of the whole wedding party, and I don't have a single photo of the whole family. How did that escape people? I wasn't keeping track of each photo, and I really expected the photographers to do that. I don't have one with just my parents or with my sister, who was my maid of honor. These pictures were things I just took for granted. It definitely wasn't because we ran out of time because between the ceremony and reception, I was just sitting around in my room for about 45 minutes. Aside from Denise's personality,  I was extremely disappointed with the whole day.  I even tried to get a refund for the "trash the dress" session I had also purchased and was met with a refusal. They did refund us for the cost of a second photographer though. To this day, I get really sad seeing other great wedding photos and for years thinking about it could bring me to the verge of tears. That being said, obviously I survived and I did absolutely love my wedding. I still have beautiful memories of my wedding, and I'm happily married with a gorgeous kiddo. I just wish I had some photos too.

Choosing Evan as our wedding photographer was easily one of the best decisions we made in planning…read morethe big day. He is a rare combination of detail-oriented, timely, professional, organized, and on the ball mixed with super fun, funny, energetic, patient, excellent EQ skills, and overall making you feel comfortable and relaxed, like you're friends just hanging out. His ability and talent to find the best places, frame the photos, get you in the right lighting and centered, and have you look your best are unparalleled. Evan is also able to adeptly navigate and direct crowds of people in a way which is never bossy and makes it fun in the process. For example, there was one auntie who was holding a kleenex tissue while setting up for one of the photos; he noticed and gently asked her to give it to him, receiving many laughs along the way. He also made sure every face could be seen in the larger, extended family photos. We got so many compliments about him from our family members about his ease with all the guests. He was also very well liked by the church and venue coordinators. Leading up to the wedding, he's super responsive by email. We also chatted over the phone and skyped with him. Setting up times/meetings is a breeze. He's got these awesome timelines, spreadsheets, and other helpful items. And he really listens, takes notes, and works with your likes/dislikes on poses, styles, all the usual stuff. He's such a joy and pleasure to work with over the months leading up to the wedding, and we were so lucky to have him capture so many special moments. Our engagement photos turned out phenomenally, and our wedding photos are amazing as well. He and his team made the experience and whole day a blast, and I definitely recommend him without any reservation.

We are generally shy and awkward in front of the camera but Adam put us both at ease during our engagement shoot. He was very reassuring too when my wife thought it wasn't going as well as she had hoped. During our wedding, Adam beautifully captured all our special moments with the people we love. We like his style and the different poses he had us try. We have enjoyed viewing our photo gallery so far. The only thing that could've been better was his promptness in communication (resulting in this 4-star review). Sometimes we didn't hear back from him in a timely fashion about basic but important information, and could go several days without a reply. A response often times would only come after a repeat message to him. Although, we understand things happen, being more timely with phone calls/appts certainly would've earned a 5-star experience! It may help future potential clients to know up front what sort of communication or timeframe to expect. Aside from this, we enjoyed working with Adam and are grateful for his skill and expertise to capture our special day. Thank you, Adam!

My husband and I are not very photogenic and are pretty anxious in front of the camera. When we worked with Adam for our city hall wedding he helped us to warm up in front of the camera by building a relationship with everyone involved including our family. He makes everyone feel good about themselves and helped direct everyone into the best pose! When we did our second session we had our 11 month old daughter who's pretty anxious around strangers but Adam turns out to be amazing kids as she warmed up to him slowly. Thank you Adam for helping us to create and capture these precious moments!!!

I can't say enough about how incredible Heather is to work with, and how beautiful the results are…read more She was incredibly patient with our newborn, and took so much time and care during the session to create a welcoming environment for the baby and her brother. She worked very closely with us in selecting a flattering color palette and introducing textures that would suit the baby. Her style is very gentle and easygoing; she spends the time to really get to know a family and pays attention to all the details that go into a shoot. When the photos came out, we were truly blown away--they were all so tender and stunning, showcasing not just the miracle of birth, but all the familial love and tenderness. I cannot stop looking at them! We were so delighted that we opted for an album keepsake. I was impressed with how much care and time Heather took making every page perfect, and how she collaborated so well with us. My son is an amateur artist, and she welcomed and integrated all his inputs and built on top of them to create something we will treasure for many years. I wholeheartedly recommend Heather to any family--she is a true artist, and we will definitely be returning to capture more precious moments!

Her studio was warm, calm, and perfectly set up for newborns, with thoughtful props and beautiful backdrops.

What impressed me most was how professional yet personable she was--taking the time to work around our baby's needs while still creating stunning, high-quality photos.

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.
