First, I want to say that Melissa is very kind and makes the experience comfortable, even if you're…read morenervous or shy in front of the camera. She's warm, welcoming, and easy to work with. I received around 80 edited proofs to choose from, and there were plenty of great options for my final selections. She also offers a wardrobe with beautiful dresses, as well as some clothing options for men. The location suggestions she provided were excellent, and she did a great job capturing the style and vibe I had in mind. That said, I do feel the need to mention some concerns about professionalism and turnaround time. Her contract states that proofs will be delivered within 2-4 weeks. While 4 weeks already feels a bit long, I was patient and checked in about once a week for updates. When the 4-week mark passed without receiving anything, I was disappointed. I ended up receiving the proofs after 4 weeks and 3 days. I reviewed and returned my selections the same day, but her contract didn't specify a timeline for final edits, so I wasn't sure what to expect. The final images were delivered 15 days later. When I received them, it seemed like the only changes made were removing the watermarks. Some photos still had bags and other items in the background, even though she had mentioned those would be edited out. Communication was also inconsistent. There were times when my messages were read but not answered, and at one point--about two weeks after the shoot--she indicated she hadn't started editing yet. It left me feeling like my time and excitement weren't fully considered. By the time I received my maternity photos, my baby was already three weeks old, and I had already shared photos of her arrival, despite scheduling the shoot at 34 weeks as recommended. Would I recommend Melissa? Yes, but with some expectations in mind. Her pricing is fair, and you do receive a large number of photos. However, turnaround time may be slower than expected, and communication can feel a bit casual at times. (She did provide 5 additional images to make up for the delay in delivering the proofs.) I had originally intended to do a new born shoot with her as well but I was waiting for my maternity photos to make sure I really liked them and unfortunately by the time I received them my baby was outside the 7-14 day old window she wants for newborns. Between that and the turn around time I decided against it.

I can't recommend Melissa highly enough! I had lots of extended family members in town and wanted…read moreto get a group family photo. Melissa was really easy to coordinate with and very flexible.

I came across Kree's Yelp page because of how close she was, but what really stood out was her website--the caliber and vibrancy of her photos were incredible. I knew right away she'd be a perfect fit for capturing my niece, both in her cap and gown and in her super colorful prom dress (which I was confident Kree could do justice!). From the moment I reached out, Kree was super responsive and easy to communicate with. The contract was simple and straightforward, pricing was fair and the breakdown of her packages were awesome. and she helped us agree on a time and location that worked perfectly, not far from our house either, which was a huge plus. On the day of the shoot, Kree arrived right on time and immediately made my niece feel comfortable. Since it was my niece's first time being professionally photographed, I appreciated how Kree guided her with poses and gave her direction to bring out her best angles. She was friendly, patient, and made the whole experience fun. We received the edited photos about two weeks later, and they were amazing, better than I could have imagined. Kree truly captured my niece's personality and the significance of the moment. Highlights for me: super responsive communication, an easy-to-understand contract, a convenient location, her friendly demeanor, and of course, the beautiful final photos. Thanks so much Kree!!!

I must express my profound disappointment with Vishnu based on our recent engagement. We hired him for my son's wedding in the summer of 2023, entrusting him with capturing some of our most cherished moments. However, a month post-wedding, we received an email from him claiming that all the photos were lost due to a robbery. While we empathize with unforeseen circumstances, the manner in which this situation was handled was highly unprofessional. Throughout our entire engagement, there was a conspicuous lack of direct communication; all interactions were limited to impersonal emails. A professional of his stature should have had the courtesy to reach out personally, explain the situation, and discuss potential solutions. To add to the distress, when a partial set of photos was eventually provided, numerous significant moments from the wedding were conspicuously absent. These are moments that we can never recreate, and their loss is irreplaceable. When we sought compensation or at least a genuine conversation about the way forward, Vishnu chose to cease all communication, leaving us feeling cheated and undervalued. Given this disappointing experience, I would caution anyone considering hiring Vishnu. It's crucial to have a photographer who values not just the art of photography but also the trust and emotions of their clients. Regrettably, that trust was gravely misplaced in this instance. read more

I recently had the pleasure of working with Vishnu for a photo shoot and was blown away by the experience. From start to finish, he was professional, personable, and attentive to every detail. Not only did Vishnu have great ideas for poses and locations, but he also took the time to listen to my own ideas and incorporate them into the shoot. His creativity and attention to detail really shone through in the final product - the photos were absolutely stunning and exceeded my expectations. Throughout the shoot, Vishnu was incredibly patient and helped me feel comfortable in front of the camera. His easy-going nature and positive attitude made the whole experience enjoyable and stress-free. I would highly recommend Vishnu to anyone in need of a talented photographer.

Jin met with us at the venue a few weeks prior to scope it out and review our schedule, as well as discuss a photo plan. We got along with him great, as he is very warm, personable, and thoughtful. During the wedding, he worked behind the scenes and his presence was barely noticed. Jin must have had a tremendous challenge taking some of these photographs, because our adorable, albeit uncooperative one-year-old was crying throughout the ceremony and afterward. Yet somehow we still ended up with hundreds of beautiful photos from Jin, including of our tearstained doll. He sent them in groups. I think we got the first ten within about a week, then maybe 60 within a month, and the rest within 3 months. Before the wedding, we told Jin we thought we didn't need a million photos, just of the main events and a few planned ones, but he correctly pointed out that your own wedding day ends up being kind of a blur to you until you see photographs of it, and it's good to take as many as possible throughout and also to think about and plan which posed photos you want to take. He ended up capturing so many beautiful moments that we will now remember forever, and I'm glad we trusted his experience. We might have otherwise sent him home early and missed so many stunning photos and great memories. I would recommend Jin's photography highly, and I'm glad to serve as a reference!

The entire process was creative, fun, and so comfortable--he truly has a way of making you feel at ease in front of the camera. The final photos turned out absolutely stunning, and one of them has become one of the best pictures I have of myself! His attention to detail, lighting, and artistic vision made all the difference. I couldn't be happier with the results and highly recommend him to anyone looking for an amazing photographer!

I really enjoyed Mark at my Engagement session as he made me feel so comfortable in front of the camera...the photos were extraordinary and I just knew the wedding pictures were going to be great. On my wedding day Mark took such graceful pictures - very natural and very beautiful. He was very professional and efficient and just made me and my husband at ease !! It was an amazing day and the photos looked so beautiful... I just returned back from a vacation from South Africa where all my family live and every single person has told me they have never seen such great pictures. They were so amazed by the album and how beautiful it was. Every page told a story. If you are ever looking for a wedding photographer, do not hesitate to contact Mark, he is a GREAT guy and exceptionally talented and extremely creative. This will definitely be a decision you will never regret! Once again...thank you so much Mark. You are amazing ....

I hired Mark to photograph my wedding after my first choice photographer backed out kind of late in…read morethe game. Mark was the only other photographer I could find who had what I felt were reasonable prices. He and his partner work really well together and my husband and I thought they were great to work with as well. They posted photographs to an online gallery for us really quickly (perhaps because I asked for less photoshopping?) and we were all blown away by first, the quality of the pictures and second, the number of pictures to choose from. The group pictures and candid shots all turned out really great, especially since the lighting outdoors was probably less than ideal. The candid shots especially were fun to look at and I think they did a really good job of capturing the fun everyone had that day. Mark and his partner both had some really great, fun ideas for shots of the entire bridal party too. We opted not to have an album made to save a little money, so I can't write anything about the production quality there, but I cannot emphasize enough how great quality the prints I ordered were. Their photographs are really great. I would definitely recommend Mark to any bride looking for a photographer on a budget in the Bay Area. I would also recommend to brides (just a bit of general advice) to have a list of photographs you want, so you don't forget anything. The reason I have four stars instead of 5 was because they had this idea of me plus some plants that ended up being really sharp and a few days later, some itchy welts showed up on my arms. I don't know what those plants were. Also, I wish we had more regular, conservative portrait shots that I could show my relatives. I should emphasize conservative.

I honestly never write reviews, but I felt truly compelled to share this…read more Working with Thai at Firestone Photography was such a wonderful experience from start to finish. Not only is he incredibly talented behind the camera, he creates an environment where you feel completely comfortable and confident. That made all the difference for me. What meant the most was his patience and generosity with his time. He went through multiple rounds of edits without hesitation -- always kind, always responsive, and always wanting to make sure I was fully happy with the final result. That level of care is rare. I had an amazing time during the shoot, and the final headshots exceeded my expectations. Thai doesn't just take photos -- he genuinely cares about helping you put your best self forward. If you're in the Bay Area and looking for professional headshots, I cannot recommend Firestone Photography enough.

Mr. Jeff Firestone is a true professional. I've previously never been very satisfied with my…read moreprofessional headshots. Mr. Firestone assured me he'd get me a few that I'd be happy with. It was a tall order, but he delivered as promised. At the end, he got me so many shots that I was happy with, that it was hard to narrow it down to a few choices. He was patient, supportive, and very attentive to my ideas. Thank you very much Mr. Firestone, for an experience far beyond anything I've gotten previously. Very happy with the results and I'm confident it will make the desired impression on my audience. As my two grown sons are completing college and headed into the work force, we will be back soon! You are a magician!
