The gals from enLuce did a phenomenal job photographing a pre-wedding event that we did in St. Helena. Everything about working with them was easy - from the booking process to receiving the final images. And of course, the pictures were gorgeous! I would absolutely recommend enLuce, you will have a wonderful experience.

Gina photographed my wine country wedding this summer and did an amazing job! After the wedding, one thing I kept hearing from our guest was, “I LOVED your photographers!” Gina and her sister Dana did such a great job corralling our large family, getting great candid shots, artful posed shots and capturing some of the really heartfelt moments of the day. Gina was also a great resource ahead of the wedding in helping us plan out our timeline. We wanted to spend as much time as possible AT the wedding enjoying time with friends and family rather than running around posing for pictures by ourselves, and she made that happen.

I can’t gush enough about how great it was to have Gina and Dana as part of our wedding! They were low key and never in the way, and brought a very relaxed but professional vibe. And we had fun with them! They’re easy to laugh with, and stayed really in tune with us throughout the day. Not only do they have a great presence, but also a ton of talent – we have amazing photos!

Dana and Gina are amazing! You need to book enLuce for any wedding!

We had a very small elopement style wedding in July and enLuce was very highly recommended by the event planner at our hotel. I was concerned that it may be difficult to book a photographer with our requests: only about a month in advance for a City Hall wedding ceremony in San Francisco followed by a small lunch reception at Hotel Vitale for us and 10 of our friends and family. Gina very promptly called to follow up with my inquiry and was always ready to answer my questions, and I had many!

I could not be happier with their work! Gina was great at the business end, making sure everything was scheduled and planned. One thing I think many photographers forget to do is ask their bride for a shot list. Not only did they request that from us, but they were so accommodating to my 6 page supply of inspiration photos and semi-unreasonable schedule. Can you believe that we had couple photos in and all around City Hall, family photos outside City Hall, our wedding ceremony, candid photos of our guests, photos from our room/balcony at Hotel Vitale (with the incredible Ferry building behind) and photos of our reception/guests/cakes/etc. in the restaurant all in a TWO HOUR session?!

Dana's photos were beautiful! We had gorgeous artistic photos with incredible architecture, lovely photos of our ceremony, amazing candid photos of us with our families, and beautiful couple shots. And she was so much fun! Definitely the kind of person I would love to be friends with and hang out with.

What could be better than great business etiquette, gorgeous photos and friendly people? Um, the price! We had a very narrow budget of $2000 for our entire wedding and enLuce didn't break the bank for us. If you don't think you have the budget for top notch photography, think again! We got everything we could have hoped for with Dana and Gina. I highly recommend them for any photography need.

THE BEST! I am so happy that I chose enLuce Photography for my wedding. They made the day easy and stress-free providing enough direction to got all of the shots we wanted but not too much where it could have become overwhelming. They did a fantastic job capturing beautiful candid moments and even made the camera shy look their finest.

I would highly recommend working with them and found their prices to be reasonable for the services they offer. They were easy to work with and very responsive up to the wedding and provided many recommendations when I felt creatively stuck.

I feel like every moment of my wedding was captured and I am so grateful they were there to capture all the moments of the day. Cheers!!

My daughter was married on December 29, 2012 and I envisioned great trouble securing a professional photographer during the holidays. Not the case with Enluce. Dana and Gina immediately responded to our inquiry and from that moment we had a GREAT experience. The engagement shoot was original and the photos were beautiful. The wedding day photos were more beautiful than I imagined they could be. Dana and Gina captured every moment without being intrusive or obvious. And, they are 2 of the nicest people I've ever met. I only wish we had more occasions to use their services!

My husband and I got married In San Fransicso on 12/22/12 and as recommended by a family friend- we used enLuce Photography. There were some other prospects but I am SO happy we went with enLuce!!! Dana and Gina are not only super artistic and talented but they are both so much fun to work with!

You spend so much time and money perfecting and planning the wedding. Having a great photographer is a must so you can relive all of the great moments that happen on your special day! And guess what- we had two! Dana and Gina got every formal photo we requested as well as super artsy fun photos. I still don’t know how I am going to narrow down our choices for our album!!

In the whirlwind of our wedding I caught glimpses of Dana laying on the dance floor to get a good angle for a photo, and then up on a chair to get a good birds eye view! Commitment if I’ve ever seen it!

Cool side note- they sent me an app to download on my phone with about 60 of the best photos! So convenient when people ask to see pics!

If you are in need of a photographer- look no further. (Seriously!!) Dana and Gina at enLuce Photography are simply amazing!

My daughter got married in December in SF and when it came time to choose a photographer, enLuce was recommended by a mutual friend.

My daughter and I both looked at many photo sites but enLuce was the one that struck us both. We both loved their site and their photos so this is who we spoke with and ended up choosing.

Well . . . what can I say except that it was a VERY good choice!

You only get one shot (no pun intended) at getting the perfect wedding photos and both Gina and Dana made sure of that! The Before shots, the Ceremony, the Reception, the Bridal Party, the Dancing . . . you name it and they got it! Our only dilemma is which photos NOT to choose!

Their photography is amazing and I swear, some of the shots look like they should be in a magazine . . . the lighting, the composition . . . it's all amazing.

While talking about the photogs recently my daughter told me of a friend recounting her wedding and the fact that their "first kiss" as man and wife was missed. I just felt awful when I heard that.

This is not something that you get to go and do over so you want to do it right the first time. If you want to do it right, then use Gina and Dana from enLuce and you will be very, very happy you did.

I don't know how much more I can rave about them without sounding like I'm a member of their family . . . LOL! Seriously . . . they were amazing. :-)

EnLuce Photography was the first vendor we contracted with after the venue thanks to the introduction by our wedding planner. The images on EnLuce's website and sample albums speak for themselves. The correspondence exchange prior to the wedding was a breeze. Dana was able to quickly put us at ease during our engagement shoot and the day of our wedding.

After seeing our wedding images I can attest Dana and Gina truly capture images that tell the story of the day from start to finish. What I appreciate the most is once the ceremony began I almost forgot photographers were shooting. While reviewing our wedding photos for the first time I often found myself thinking "I wonder where the photographers were standing when they captured that shot." They captured stunning, intimate photos without letting their presence known.

They are truly professional, respectful of the client's wishes and a lot of fun to be with.

These sisters are awesome! We chose enLuce for our classic San Francisco wedding and we couldn't be more thrilled with the photographs! Dana is fun, honest, and so helpful...not to mention extremely good at what she does. We have the most amazing shots on a cable car and this wonderful old fashioned firetruck in Ghiradelli Square! Dana and her assistant also captured the essence of our ceremony which to my Husband & I was the most important aspect of the day. I look back at the photos & I feel the emotion all over again!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.

Gina and Dana from En Luce are as good as it gets! As a wedding planner, I know it's important not to only have the artistic and photo capability, but to also be organized and on top of things. They always responded to our emails promptly, and were well aware of the wants and needs of the bride & groom. They made sure to get all those shots on our shot list! ;) They were aware of the timeline and I didn't have to "baby sit" them as I sometimes have to with other photographers and vendors. They made my job so much easier! To top it off, they are just the sweetest, warm and welcoming people you have ever met. Which makes a huge difference to everyone they are around. They are friendly and warm, which makes capturing photos with everyone that much easier, because you can be comfortable around them. Though I'm based in LA and Hawaii, I hope to get the opportunity to work with them again in the near future. I would recommend them to anyone who wants the all around 5 star package when it comes to photography. Thanks Gina & Dana, it was a blast working with you!
