    Simply incredible

    Vicens is an artist!! He is so fun and easy to be around. Our wedding album is simply breath taking as are all of his photos! My family loved him and his work so much we hired him to photograph my sister's wedding next year! You will miss out if you don't hire him!

    The best photographer and person overall

    Vicens is the absolutely nicest person I have ever met. Everyone at the wedding that interacted with him came up to us to say how sweet and happy he is. He shows a true passion for photography and always makes sure to get the perfect picture. He was a pleasure to work with and just beyond our expectations. Hire him for your special events!!! His work is truly a work of art and his positive attitude makes everything fun.

    A True Artist

    Vicens brings so much love and joy and you can feel the passion he has for his work through his photos. It was wonderful to have Vicens shoot our wedding and our engagement session. He has a wonderful eye for aesthetics and composition. His color correction brings out a mood and atmosphere that sets his apart. We cannot recommend Vicens enough for any special event! - M&W

    Not your ordinary wedding photos

    I met Vicens at a Wedding Expo and just fell head over heels with his work. We went with his wedding package that was with his assistant but he edits the photos Assitant was amazing - Ana Silva Photography) for the day of the wedding and opted for post-wedding day photos with Vicens from his package (we already had our engagement photos taken by this point). The bonus to this, we didn't have to stress about sunset photos or trying to get away during the wedding reception. Honestly, post-wedding day photos were the best thing we could have done. We had a 2-hour session at 2 different locations in Napa and it was soo much fun. The photos themselves are like nothing I could have imagined. He's an absolute artist!

    Amazing Photographer

    We loved working with Vicens and his wife! Throughout our whole wedding process they both were amazing to work with. If you are looking for an amazing photographer just take peak at his website / photos and your jaw will drop. He is an incredible photographer, his style is so unique and romantic - none of our wedding photos will look boring. During our wedding day he was so careful and thoughtful to make sure he captured all the perfect shots, always smiling :) . His assistant was equally as amazing and you could tell they were excited for our wedding, almost as much as we were.
    After our wedding day Vicens didn't just feel like our hired photographer, he felt like on of our dearest friends who shared our special day with us.

    We are very happy customers who have jaw dropping wedding photos and the best part is you can have them too if you hire him!

    If you’re reading reviews trying to figure out if Vicens is as great for everyone as the images you can see on his website and social media, trust me, he is. My husband and I looked online for a Napa/San Francisco area photographer, and as soon as we found Vicens, we knew we either wanted to book him, or we didn’t want to take pictures. I know it’s rare in life that reality matches up to expectations, but with Vicens, they did. Shannon, his wife, coordinates things and takes point on communication; she’s as thoughtful, thorough and organized as they come. Ana, their second shooter, clearly loves love and loves photography. Her warmth and care make you wish she was part of your family and not the one taking pictures of them. Vicens exudes energy and enthusiasm. Working with him gives you an enticingly brief glimpse into the mind of an artist at work. Book them. Trust their process. And love your images. Then let this be the one part of your wedding you stop stressing about.

    Exceptional is an understatement! Vicens has such an amazing gift and I think anyone who has the opportunity to be photographed by him will be in AWE! We were so blessed to have Vicens shoot not only our wedding but also are engagement session in Napa. His photos are artistic, intriguing and captivating, he captures not only a moment but a creates a memory and his photos really do tell a story.

    HIs team is incredibly professional, personable and are all round lovely humans! This is a NEXT level photographer! If you're lucky enough to book him you're guaranteed exceptional photographs by an industry pro!

    Thanks a million Vicens, Shannon and the team!!!

    If you're looking for someone who will take boring wedding photos, Vicens is not for you. He is spectacular and his work does not fall short of that. The entire process was so easy with the help of Vicens and his lovely wife, Shannon. We began with our engagement shoot in June 2017. The entire experience was really fun and Vicens made us feel comfortable while my fiancé and I were spinning around on the beach lol. The photos were so great that we even used them for our Save the Date and our Wedding Invitations.

    Our venue was Taber Ranch in Capay Valley, CA and we were able to meet up with Vicens during their annual Open House. We had the chance to meet Shannon in person (she's lovely and so sweet!) and we even got the chance to meet one of their sons and their pet dog. I walked away from our brief interaction telling my now husband that when we had kids, I hoped they would be as polite as Vicens and Shannon's son. He was really the politest kid I have ever meet!

    Our wedding was in April 2018 and again, Vicens made us feel so comfortable and captured so many beautify and unique moments. He was so accommodating and just overall such a great person. We were thrilled to get to see some of our photos just a day after the wedding! We recently received our wedding album and I have never seen something more beautiful in my life! The album is so elegant and the overall presentation was spectacular.

    My husband and I are extremely grateful that we found Vicens and were able to book him for our wedding. The experience could have not gone any better. If you’re thinking of booking him, do not hesitate!

    Everything Vicens did was amazing. From our engagement photos to the wedding, he was the best photographer I've seen across all of the weddings I attended. Professional and personable. He made you feel at ease, made it seem like you were just talking and having your picture taken by a friend. You can tell that he is very dedicated to his craft and takes great pride in his work. He aligns each shot to be stunning and perfect.

    He was great to work with taking our input for angles/positioning while also being able to add and supplement it with his own unique style. It was never overbearing, nor was it too hands off. He struck a perfect balance to make sure the photos felt unique to us. I don't think I've seen more beautiful photos than what he is able to take.

    I couldn't recommend Vicens highly enough to anyone else looking for a photographer.

    Beautiful photos and beautiful people! If you are in doubt of booking Vicens, just check out his portfolio on his site or instagram! He is incredibly nice and made us feel very comfortable, so they photos look natural and he really captured the moment in our wedding. You get more than photos as he is an artist, so you get to be part of his art! I highly recommend him and would choose him again!

    From start to end, Vicens and his wife Shannon were F-A-N-T-A-S-T-I-C to work with. We met them at a wedding fair and just fell in love with Vicens' portfolio. His photos are so unique and artistic which caught our eyes.

    After extensive research, we still couldn't shake off the feeling that Vicens was the perfect photographer for us. Thus, we were ecstatic we were able to book Vicens for our wedding at Nestldown. (Tip: Book him early because he's that good!)

    We then had our phone consultation with Shannon who was very patient with our long list of questions and put our jitters at ease.

    Then came to our wedding day, Vicens was absolutely great to work with. He made sure we were comfortable - it's like we have known him forever even though we had just met him that morning. His bubbly personality and infectious smile was contagious to those around him which made our day even more special.

    It's extremely pleasurable to see the amount of passion that Vicens has behind his camera. He's happy every second to capture our love story and tells it so well especially through our wedding book that he made for us which was custom ordered from Italy. The high quality and layout of our wedding book is the perfect way for us to look back on our special day.

    We highly recommend Vicens to anyone who wants their special day to be told with passion and love. Worth every penny!

    Vicens Forns is one of the most caring, thoughtful, and creative men we have ever met. Aside from that, he is a phenomenal photographer! Vicens and his assistant Ana Silva, were the perfect duo to photograph our wedding. We were so pleased with their positive and joyful presence while capturing our special day. Leading up to the event Vicens and his wife Shannon were very prompt with communication, professional, and such a pleasure to work with. My husband and I have received countless complements in regards to the artistry and inspiration behind every photo Vicens produces. We would HIGHLY recommend Vicens to anyone looking for stunning photographs on top of a wonderful experience! We hope to work with Vicens again someday!

    We did an engagement photo shoot with Vicen and it was an amazing experience. Honestly, Shannon and Vicen are nice, pleasant, and professional. I recommend them to everyone for the reasons below.

    Shannon was so organized. She was great with instructions for the contract and setting up a date that would work for everyone. She also gave great style and location advice. This was our first shoot so we definitely needed the guidance. Most importantly, her communication was wonderful!! She was polite, fun, and responded in a timely manner. She also monitored the weather, which is important in the Bay Area.

    Vicen, the photographer, made us feel so comfortable, especially because we are a bit shy. He showed us how to pose and kindly started with simple poses before pushing us to think outside the box. He also has great attention to detail. My hair always parts funny and he noticed his small nuance fact and helped us fix it to get a good shot. He was on time and even went to scope out the place early. We loved it. His creativity and passion showed.

    Although we haven't see the final photos yet, we had a wonderful experience and Vicen showed us some on his digital camera. They looked really artsy and amazing. It is tough to catch the lighting, angels, and moments he was able to show us. We can't wait to see the final products and really enjoyed this experience. It was so fun that Vicen and Shannon make us want to be professional models (though we probably wouldn't be that great)!

    We chose Vicens to be our photographer for our son's wedding. He was professional, timely, open to our requests, friendly and his pictures are one of a kind. We feel so fortunate that he was our photographer and my husband and I recommend him without reservation! HE IS INCREDIBLE! Also any questions we had were answered promptly by email.

    I got married about a month ago in San Francisco at the Palace of Fine Arts with my reception afterwards at the St. Francis Yacht Club. I would HIGHLY recommend going with Vicens for your wedding photography if you are looking for unique extraordinarily beautiful creative photos that have a "fine art" timeless kind of look worthy of being hung on your walls at home after.

    Vicens' wife Shannon made the booking and small details really easy, and to work with him and his team on the day of was a wonderful experience I will never forget. I was so nervous to do a boudoir shoot as I have never done anything like that before, but because he is so sweet and I could tell his sole focus is on his work, that I instantly felt comfortable working with him. He thinks of such creative poses and his passion for his work really comes through in the beautiful, spectacular extraordinary photos I have received after. My friends and family who have seen the photos agreed that they have never seen anything like his work before! Thank you so much Vicens!!

    I cannot speak highly enough about booking Vicens as our photographer. He did both our engagement shoot and destination wedding, and he and his wife Shannon (who is the one doing all the scheduling and correspondence) really just go above and beyond anything we could have hoped for or expected.

    First for our engagement shoot, Shannon made recommendations for locations, checked and updated us on the weather, and was so responsive, friendly and professional. We asked if we could bring our 5 year old daughter and 2 year old puppy to the shoot, and bless them; they said yes. Let me tell you, my husband and I are struggling photo subjects ourselves, throw a toddler and a puppy in the mix and I honestly have no idea how Vicens didn't fire us on the spot. But he didn't! And we have INCREDIBLE engagement, family, and individual photos all from one session!

    For the wedding, they really went out of their way to do an extra photo shoot a few days before. They scoped out locations in advance and Shannon made suggestions for outfits (flowy, I'm pretty sure Vicens has a deal with the wind Gods). We are so happy to have those photos! The day of the wedding, he came early, captured every detail, ran back and forth between the bridal suite and the groom's suite, and captured every special moment.

    Vicens' packages started on the high end of what we were looking at, but it was worth. every. penny. I would book him again in a heartbeat and I would pay anything he asked. We ended up throwing in a hefty tip cause we were so blown away by his and Shannon's professionalism, work, and going above and beyond to take care of us and make beautiful memories. The thing is, he isn't the type who only sticks to the committed contract hours. He came early and stayed late, did an extra shoot for us - everything to ensure we would get the memories we would want. He is a man of his craft, a true artist, and I can promise you, you will not regret booking him as your photographer!

    PROFESSIONAL, FUN, FLEXIBLE, ARTISTIC, RELIABLE
    I am so thankful that I decided to go to the Napa Bridal Show where my (now) husband and I met Vicens and his wife, Shannon. They were the last photographer booth we saw. We were pretty much done but the photos and style caught our eye. We couldn't stop thinking about them and decided we wanted to work with them. When we met for a quick consult and more info, I immediately felt comfortable with them. They were easy to talk to and flexible. Every moment I've spent with Vicens and/or Shannon has always been fun and comfortable. Vicens is professional and respectful of what we wanted or didn't want. I admire his excitement and passion for what he does, and I'm definitely in awe of his creativity and artistic nature in his work. They stayed with us throughout the whole process, even after the wedding - selecting photos, selecting album covers, providing updates on album printing and arrival -- all the way to delivery of the final albums. The albums were of the highest quality that I've ever seen--classic and elegant. I always knew I wanted to invest in a good photographer, and I got an EXCELLENT one who captured my wedding memories so beautifully. He's awesome!

    My husband and I recently got married the July 4th weekend, and we were so blessed to have Vicens as our photographer!!! Vicens is beyond amazing and talented!! I spent a lot of time and energy on little details in my wedding and had a long list of "must have" shots. Vicens captured all the little details of our wedding as well as the special moments throughout. He is so artist and creative with his photographery and all the photos came out stunning!! My vendors, family and friends can't get over how gorgeous the photos have come out. Not only is Vicens so talented, but he is the biggest sweetheart. He is so kind and his energy is just great. He made everyone feel so comfortable and most of the time we didn't even notice he was there and he was able to capture such intimate and candid moments. Shannon, his wife, has also been such a huge help through this entire process. They sent our photos within about a month from our wedding, which was really nice because as a bride you are anxiously counting the days your photos will be ready. I absolutely recommend Vicens to anyone looking for an amazing and talented photographer for their special day!

    Vincens was AMAZING!! From the moment he walked in he made me feel so comfortable in front of the camera. His pictures are beautiful and I HIGHLY recommend him to anyone in the area for his photography. Originally we figured it would be 6-8 weeks to receive our pictures but he got them to us in 3 weeks! When he was out of pocket his wife, Shannon was also very prompt on returning emails with our questions. Love his work, hire him!!!

    After seeing samples of Vicens art, I mean photographs, at a local Bridal Fair, we knew he was the one we wanted to use to capture the memories from our very special day. If you want the standard, run of the mill, wedding photos, about 95% of all other photographers shoot, then Vicens may not be a fit for you. However, if you want those very special memories captured as artwork for years of enjoyment, then you need not look any further. I do not want to over sell him, but man did he deliver!

    Vicens and his wife Shannon are some of the nicest people you will ever meet. Shannon did a wonderful job communicating with us every step of the way and Vicens, with his unbelievable eye, and stealth-like maneuvers, captured moment after moment as only he could. You really just need to keep your suggestions to a minimum and let him find those shots. He will not disappoint.

    We just received our hi-resolution images on usb from our wedding on April 24, 2016, about 2-3 weeks earlier than expected. My wife and I could not be more pleased with what Vicens was able to capture on that day.

    I highly, highly recommend Vicens Forns Photography, especially if you are getting married. The memories from your special day will be preserved in a very special way, and will be enjoyed for many years to come.

    Thank you Vicens and Shannon!
