About

A Girl and A Camera Photography is a San Francisco, California-based photography studio specializing in weddings and milestone events. We are a team passionate about telling people’s stories. We believe life is not ordinary and flawless – and there is beauty in that. All of our images are hand-crafted from start to finish, and our hearts and soul go into their creation.

We are inspired by love.

We call San Francisco home but travel worldwide.

About the Girl:

I am Jennifer Michelson, and I am the girl behind the camera. I created A Girl and A Camera Photography in 2008 but have been around cameras my whole life. My Dad was a photographer, so I learned from the best. Some people craft amazing stories in the written word, others tell beautiful tales with music. I take pictures. Photography is my voice.

Something you should know about me: I will probably cry at your wedding. I cry at all of them. I will make all sorts of OOOHs and AHHHHs (only when appropriate, of course) behind the camera. What can I say – I love my job, and it’s my passion.

Made us both feel so comfortable

We couldn't be more thrilled with our experience working with Jennifer as our wedding photographer! From our engagement session to the big day itself, she was absolutely incredible. Right from the start, Jennifer made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera—her calm and friendly nature put us at ease, and she really made the whole process fun. The engagement photos turned out beautifully, and on our wedding day, she captured every special moment with such grace and artistry. She was professional, attentive, and so easy to work with, ensuring everything went smoothly without ever feeling intrusive. The photos are stunning, and we’ve received so many compliments. Jennifer truly has an eye for capturing the magic of the day. We’re beyond grateful for her and can’t recommend her enough!

Every bride wants to look amazing on her wedding day, and she wants a collection of photographs to match. Jen, the "girl" behind "A Girl and A Camera Photography", captured my wedding day perfectly, and my husband and I are thrilled with our beautiful photos, filled with atypical artistic flair you don't normally find in wedding pictures.

We got married during an evening ceremony on the beach. Jen did a great job capturing the highlights of the ceremony without getting in the way. She also took some "group shots" of family (our only guests) immediately following the ceremony, but she didn't go overboard. I, personally, hate those traditional, posed pictures. Jen did a fantastic job of making them fun, not stiff-looking.

My very favorite pictures are of my husband and I on the beach following the ceremony. Jen encouraged us to just act normal and have fun. As the sun was setting, she got some gorgeous shots, taking advantage of the natural light.

Jen embodies everything you would want in a wedding photographer. She listens and works with you to create the experience and photos you want. In addition she is reliable, punctual, patient, creative and delivers the most incredible images. She did an awesome job capturing the joy we felt on our wedding day! (We are looking forward to our family photo shoot with our new baby in a couple weeks.)

That said, I highly recommend "A Girl and A Camera Photography".

Dream candid-style photographer for our wedding!

If I could give 6 stars I would! Jennifer is a calm, down-to-earth professional who has a stunning ability to capture classic & personally meaningful photographs.

My partner and I adore looking at photographs & wanted to book someone who would be able to capture candid moments throughout our special day. Her work (especially her black and white photographs) is stunning & she very much captured the essence of our day and our relationship. Because she got so many great shots of our wedding, we're also planning on gifting some prints to our guests!

She had an easy client portal through her website and she was always timely in her responses. There was ample coverage of our event in the 6 hour package for ~110 guests. Although we planned our first look and portrait locations beforehand, she also had some fun creative shots with us on the day that we didn't plan out. Also, she helped note to my MUA when my make up was smudging -- which happens to me all the time.

Overall, we couldn't have had a greater experience with our wedding photographer.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.

I had the pleasure of working with Jennifer (the "girl with the camera") on a big wedding lately, and her photos are so incredibly beautiful, capturing the special atmosphere of the day - from the solemn moments at the ceremony to the lighthearted exuberance of the Grand Entrance of the bridal party and the dinner and dancing. No detail too small to showcase to its best advantage, some with quirkiness - others with elegance. Moreover, Jennifer was a great team player throughout the event and was always a pleasure to work with. Highly recommended!
