John, the videographer, was able to bring to life the feel and esthetic of our venue. The video is layered in such a creative way, shot in an interview style to capture the emotions of my husband and myself but also our bridal party. It is fun and playful but still kept it incredibly sincere. I couldn't be more satisfied! Isabelle, the photographer, sent me the most beautiful romantic photos I've ever seen. Really gave us that perfect twilight that we (well... I) had always dreamed of. The two of them make an incredible team and I can't wait to watch how their careers progress! Thank you both -The Grassmanns

She made us feel so comfortable and relaxed during the shoot (and I am definitely looking forward to that on our wedding day when I am bound to be stressed out!). Her prices are more than reasonable for how fantastic her photographs are. Oh and by the way, though she is in the Sacramento area, she will often travel to the Bay Area. I will update after the wedding to let everyone know how AMAZING our pictures turned out! :)

Most of our previous attempts at picture taking, besides her newborn photographs, ended in tears for all of us. Kristin was amazing with my girl. She was so patient and understanding and never made me feel pressured when my little one wouldn't cooperate. She simply let her explore her environment on her own terms and captured those memories at just the right moments. I would highly reccomend using her for all your photography needs. Most especially if your kiddo has any time of special needs.

Real-Talk Review for Bella Rosa Boudoir…read more Ladies, listen. If you've ever even thought about doing a boudoir shoot, stop overthinking it and book Bella Rosa Boudoir in Auburn. This was one of the most empowering, confidence-boosting experiences of my life. From the second I walked in, Taylor (the photographer) made me feel like an absolute queen. She picked outfits and colors that brought out my eyes and personality perfectly. Whitney, the makeup artist, worked her magic -- soft, natural, and beautiful -- I looked like me, just the "glammed-up goddess" version. Michael and Brittney, the owners, have created such a warm, classy, judgment-free space that celebrates women at every stage of life. The studio is stunning, they have racks of outfits, shoes that would make Lady Gaga jealous, and an atmosphere that just screams self-love. I walked in feeling a little nervous and walked out standing taller, smiling bigger, and feeling proud of who I am. I just picked my photos and I can't wait to see them finished. If you're looking for a sign to do something for you -- this is it. You will not regret it.

To be honest, I took a risk on Dustin…read more I waited until the very last minute to find a photographer for my son's Red Egg & Ginger Party (100th-day celebration) and was on a tight budget after splurging on an expensive venue with a long guest list. It was also my first time using Thumbtack. I scrolled through some of the more "popular" and higher-priced photographers, who also had a ton of reviews, but did not feel that their style was what I was looking for. When Dustin contacted me, I wasn't sure in the beginning due to his sparse reviews; however, upon visiting his website and IG, I was impressed with his portfolio and the depth shown in all of his photos. However, most of the pictures were of outdoor weddings and my party was mostly an indoor event. But it was just days before my event, and his price was within my budget, so I crossed my fingers and hoped for the best. On the day of the event, Dustin arrived even earlier than I did to the restaurant. Upon seeing him, he was already looking around, scoping out the venue, checking the lighting, and taking test shots. I gave him very little instructions to work with - all I wanted were some family portraits and candid shots of the party. From there, he snapped away for 3+ hours, always patient and in the background of a very chaotic Asian party, and I barely noticed he was there the whole time. Fast forward 9 days (5 business days), I received the thumb drive that I provided Dustin for the photos. He ended up producing and edited almost 400 photos, double what I had expected. As my husband and I scrolled through the pictures, it reconfirmed that we totally made the right choice going with him - he brought all of the care and detail and atmospheric elements of his romantic outdoor weddings to a loud, disorganized brunch party and made everything look timeless, precious and heartwarming. Not only that, he provided color AND black & white versions in both high AND low resolutions. That meant I got 4 copies of each shot to play around with! Dustin blew all of my expectations away from his professionalism the day of, his quick turnaround time, and ultimately, the amazing final photos. Hire this guy, you won't regret it!

It was a beautiful setting and Dustin did a great job of using the backdrop but not having it be everything. He captured the people in a perfect way. The angles and the layouts were great. The color composition was perfect. On top of all the normal photo stuff he just came across as a super down to earth guy who loves what he does. When he first got to the venue he handed me two bottles of champagne as a "congrats". He was super sneaky - he caught shots of things when I had no clue he was even close to me at the time. He was super laid back about the whole setting and was really into enjoying the space and the outdoors. I would definitely reach out to him if you're doing anything outside. Overall, we're super happy we chose him. Really nice guy and the perfect attitude for our wedding.
