The day of our wedding seemed to fly by so it is great we had Becky and Josh there to capture the moments. They captured the day perfectly and we were impressed by the amount of detail in the each of the photos. They have an eye for artistic photos and an attention to detail. Many of the pictures they took bring back emotions my wife and I would like to remember for a lifetime. We recommend them to anyone and are happy we chose Art of Emotion to photograph our wedding day.

Photography was a key decision when planning our wedding, and my husband and I are beyond pleased with the decision we made choosing Art of Emotion. Our pictures turned out beautiful and every moment of our special day was captured.

Becky and Josh were both professional and personal. They captured every detail--from the lace on the dress to the cake and scenery at our reception. Becky was in-tune with what we felt was important--she helped us design a schedule for the day and made sure she knew what we wanted. Her passion for feeling and emotion are evident in our pictures--she captured every fleeting smile and stolen kiss.

Choosing Becky was one of our best wedding decisions and we get to enjoy our pictures for the rest of our lives.

My husband and I had the most amazing wedding and are excited because we have every moment captured thanks to Becky and Josh! You can really see Becky's passion for photography through her work and everyone who has seen our pictures has loved them. She made us look like movie stars! Becky is very knowledgable about weddings and knows that every little detail is important. She even fixed a problem with my dress I didn't know I had! The only thing I would have done differently is to have had them stay longer!

Photographer was the first one and also the one we reviewed the most while selecting the vendors for our wedding, since photo is the only image that last after the day. Becky is definitely reliable, well-experienced and professional to work with that left no worries for us on the details, logistics, communications, leadtime as well as deliverables with high quality. Wedding planning became better with her suggestions.

Beyond professionalism, Becky has a unique approach to the photos she takes that my husband and I feel “click” with, and couldn’t stop thinking how the photos would look like if we’re the one in them. When we received our photos, no matter for e-session or wedding, not only they’re stunning, unique, appealing, but personal and touching. We can feel the stories and the emotions in our photos, and this is exactly what we’re looking for.

We love our photos so much that we plan to make some of them into fine art prints and hang on walls. Becky and AOE is definitely the photographer we recommend to our friends and families.

They say if you're lucky, you only get married once, and if that is the case, you also only get once to capture that day in photos. I cannot tell you enough how happy my husband and I are that we decided to go with Becky Burgin and the Art of Emotion for our wedding day. From the first email, Becky was quick to respond, helpful, friendly, personable and professional. At our first meeting, she brought up so many points that I would've never thought of on my own and even made a timeline for how our wedding should go so she and Josh could get the best pictures possible. I knew right then and there that she was the only photographer I wanted for my big day. On the day of, she was so professional, kind, and even helped out with my pesky train that just wouldn't seem to stay up! Haha!
Her work is beyond amazing! Every picture looks like something out of a bridal magazine. She truly does showcase the life/emotions of that day in all of her photos. My husband and I had decided not to get a videographer, something others thought was necessary, but after we saw all of our pictures, we knew we had done the right thing in spending more on our pictures. Through our photos you can see how the whole day progressed, from getting ready to tearful, tender dances, to the partying on the dance floor. Becky is a true professional who takes pride in her work and it truly is a rare art. I love the way she plays with light and angles and her photojournalistic approach. It's been 4 months now and I still look at our pictures every single day because it just transports me back to that perfect day. I wish I had the wall space to frame them all :) That's what a good photographer can do for you! Make the right choice! You only get to do it once!

My husband and I were thrilled with the service we received from Art of Emotion! Becky was an absolute joy to work with! She went above and beyond on our wedding day. Our pictures are stunning!

My husband and I were thrilled with Becky and the Art of Emotion. Our pictures are unique, beautiful, and just what we were looking for. Also, Becky was so organized, punctual, and detail oriented. When planning a wedding it's invaluable to have a vendor that takes so much on and is so reliable. Becky is on task and executes her job perfectly. Also, the boys really enjoyed working with Josh before the wedding.
I was lucky and liked all my vendors, but the one area where Becky really stood out was the follow-up. After the wedding I haven't had any contact with anyone else we hired, but Becky checks in regularly to see what we need and make sure we are still happy with our product!
Thanks!

The Art of Emotion is a joy to work with. From the moment we met Becky we knew we wanted to work with her. She has a warm personality and is helpful in ways that go far beyond what one might expect. She helped plan our time line and even provided recommendations for some last minute wedding gown alterations. Becky also always replied very quickly to all of our emails and had very positive suggestions and ideas that helped us plan the entire day.

She's not only talented, but she clearly loves being part of the wedding process. She was undoubtedly our most helpful vendor from start to finish. We loved working with Becky on the wedding day and she put us at ease the entire time. We never felt rushed or awkward and we absolutely love how our pictures turned out. We cannot stop looking at them and we have had the prints for over a month!

So, if you are looking for the absolute best wedding photographer in Northern California, then look no further! The Art of Emotion is the photographer for you!

With so many great photographers in the bay area, choosing one was very difficult. We interviewed many others before meeting Becky and although they were nice and professional when we met Becky, we both know that she was the one.
During our first meeting it was apparent that she was passionate about wedding photography and excited about potentially being a part of our day. On the wedding day, she and her son Josh showed up on time and thoroughly prepared. She even noticed that my wedding dress was too long in the front and helped prepare a quick fix! Between their skill and relaxed demeanor our wedding day was a great success!

After receiving our photos both my husband and I were so pleased to view all the brilliant work from that day. The emotion and love has been captured forever.

Thank you Becky and Josh!

If I could give Becky and Art of Emotion more than five stars in all categories I would. She went so far above and beyond the call of duty in being our wedding photographer, and beyond that is a powerful creative person in her own right. She has huge attention to detail, and her amount of experience in photographing weddings meant that she was a tremendous help during our event. I really can't imagine having done it without her and her daughter, Erika. If you are planning a wedding anywhere near the bay area I don't think you should even consider anyone else. Her pictures were phenomenal and the service she provided was so much more than that. I've met many photographers over the years for different events -- my wedding, friends and families' weddings, professional events, portraits -- and Becky was by far the best.

We are so thrilled that the Art Of Emotion could be a part of our most special day! We just LOVE Becky and Josh Burgin! They added such a neat element to our wedding day. Becky truly puts her heart and soul into her art and because of that, she is a master of her craft! She was by my side the entire day, even holding my lipstick for me! We were so impressed with Becky's talent and her eye for spectacular imagery that we flew her and Josh to Las Vegas to be our wedding photographers. Since we are in the industry ourselves (also being wedding photographers), we know talent when we see it! When we were planning our wedding, we were looking for someone who would not only capture our emotion and the special moments that happen on a day like that but also for someone who would capture them in a very artistic way. We are so glad that we chose Becky and Josh Burgin with the Art Of Emotion. They truly are gifted, talented photographers! And they are absolutely WONDERFUL to work with!
Thank you for everything, Becky and Josh!

What you can you say about a photographer who is assigned with the enormous task to capturing one's special moment in a way that will tell their story for decades past it! Becky and Josh did this task with such grace and passion that one would think that they were part of our family and knew how to portray us through their camera lens. They invited us to their home, we shot in their backyard for our engagement and various other locations during the wedding. They worked through all the hurdles of rushing from once location to another, setting up before everyone else and taking charge of the situation when guidance was needed. I know we have some beautiful image that will last us forever but our biggest gain was knowing and becoming friends with some very humble people whom we will refer to as friends for life! Thanks again for everything Becky and Josh!

our best,

Becky and Eric were wonderful photographers, who truly captured the spirit of our extremely special day. The pictures are so unique and beautiful, we couldn't be happier with how they turned out!! We are so pleased to have such incredible pictures for our lifetime of memories. We definitely are recommending Becky to anyone!!!

We chose Becky because she has a unique eye for pictures that capture the heart-flutter moments and emotions as well as all of the day's details. She produces gush-worthy, beautiful pictures. Yet Becky herself is the real asset that distinguishes her from her peers. Her kindness, enthusiasm, and care were genuine, and shooting with her was relatively easy and fun for two camera-shy people! I can't imagine the wedding day without her grace and smile, and we both look forward to future projects with Becky.

So professional, organized as all heck, awesome photos. What a joy to have Becky and Art of Emotion as our wedding photographer. Worth every penny and more. I would recommend Becky to anyone who wants unique, creative wedding photos that you can be proud to display, share and keep for decades. They are really little pieces of art, each of them. I've received TONS of positive compliments on our photos. Awesome photos were one the things I would not budge on in our entire wedding planning process and Art of Emotion delivered.

We just met with Becky and have booked her for our June 2010 wedding! Her portfolio is gorgeous, and she spent a lot of time talking with us about the logistics of the day in addition to what we would be ending up with. I appreciated it so much that she took such a active role in helping us figure out how to best utilize our time in order to capture all of our moments in photos. She assured my fiance that he would not have to pose or say cheese or anything he didn't want to do. We took advantage of the "recessionista rate" and feel that it's a great value for the caliber of her portfolio. There is nothing cheap about Art of Emotion, and I insisted from the beginning of our engagement that our photos had to be AMAZING, and this was something I would expect to invest in.
Will update post wedding.

Becky and Erika are truly THE most talented, artistic, creative, amazing, incredible, just all around wonderful photographers and people. We knew our wedding pictures would be great after seeing them from our engagement session, but our wedding photos went beyond our wildest dreams. We were honestly in tears looking at our pictures. Becky and Erika captured so much emotion from throughout the entire day that brought us back to those moments in a heartbeat. We instantly felt again the love and joy of the day, each other, and all of our guests, and know we are beyond blessed to have these pictures for the rest of our lives to remember how truly special our wedding day was. Becky and Erika were both were beyond a joy to work with. Before our big day, Becky was so helpful in working with us to decide on our wedding timeline to maximize their time there and ensure the best flow of the day. On the actual day, it felt like having friends there with us the whole time. They were professional, friendly, helpful, and completely unobtrusive. And then to get pictures back like that...we just truly could not be happier. Best hiring decision we made!
