Loved our engagement photos!

We are thrilled with our engagement photos! Because we wanted to include our senior dog who isn't very mobile in our photos, we asked Iann to come to our house for our shoot. She was able to scope out creative locations in our yard that we wouldn't have thought of and made them look amazing. She was so patient and gentle with our dog, and got the sweetest photos of him. The photos were turned around super fast too. Couldn't recommend Iann enough!

Great engagement photo session!

We had a great photo session. Iann had ideas for locations and we picked from her list. The shoot itself was professional yet casual, fun and comfortable. So far, the photos look great!

Professional, speedy, and a beautiful engagement shoot :)

We had a great experience working with Iann :) I was looking for a photographer for an engagement party and she reached out and offered an engagement shoot. We decided to work with her and do a session! This all happened right before we had to shelter in place due to COVID-19 and she was very flexible to work with our schedule, and to even to adapt as late as day of when I was worrying about a rash on my neck.

She offered some great locations that we close by and convenient for us and met us there. She was on time, nice and very professional! We took our photos in a garden in Palo Alto that was blooming. The garden looks even more magical in her photos than it did in real life! She adapted well to the bouts of sunset lighting that peaked through and also took beautiful shots in the cloudy moments in between. She lead the way and chose some of the great locations in the garden but also was ready to accommodate any suggestions we had.

All in all the session went very quickly and we walked away having enjoyed a fun photoshoot. She delivered the sneak peak the same night (2 photos) and a full album within the week (34 photos). There are so many that we love! There were a few variations in coloring but that was probably due to the actual lighting that day (both gloomy and sunset). Her editing is subtle but makes the photos look great and she offered to do additional edits if I wanted those as well.

Overall we had a great experience working with Iann Ivy and would recommend her!

Amazing photographer!

Iann photographed our engagement last year. We were in a bind looking for someone at the last minute, and a co-worker saved the day by recommending Iann. I’d never met her but she was incredibly professional and easy to communicate with over email and phone about my vision and style for the shoot. She showed up on time and did an amazing job staying incognito until it was time to photograph the big moment. She even consulted on the best light and spot to stand for the photos before my fiancé got there! She sent the digital album to us within a week, and the photos were perfect! her prices were extremely reasonable for the incredible work she did. She’s also very LGBT friendly and helps anyone feel comfortable in front of the camera. Would absolutely work with Iann again!!

Iann Ivy was absolutely amazing. She captured us exactly how we wanted. She went over and beyond for us and completed every request we had.

Iann Ivy is an amazing photographer. She has the eye of a true professional and even under our windy and foggy circumstances she managed to pull through and go over and beyond with our engagement pictures. I would recommend her to EVERYONE in the San Francisco area looking for a photographer.

Wonderful Experience!

We highly recommend Iann! A friend of ours scheduled her for our wedding shoot and everything about the experience was perfect. She was professional, fun to chat with, and the photos turned out great! She even picked up a bouquet for us on her way to the shoot. We couldn't recommend her more!

Iann shoots amazing images!

We had such a smooth experience with Iann! She is very professional, has great attention to detail and overall made me and my Fiancé feel comfortable in front of the camera. Not only that but she has quick image turn around time. We love her work and would highly recommend her to friends/family! Thanks Iann!

Best photo shoot experience!

First off, Iann is one of the most sweetest, kindest people I have ever known. She’s very talented in her art and makes the entire experience totally comfortable. My now husband and I had our engagement photos done by her. She made us feel so comfortable and knew exactly how to “pose” us. The photos turned out to be so beautiful and we still get compliments all the time saying how the photos look like they come from a magazine! She’s truly talented and you definitely won’t be disappointed!

Amazing engagement-shoot photographer

After searching for a creative and talented photographer in the Bay Area in our budget, we were absolutely thrilled to find Iann Ivy! She offered impressive packages and a creative body of work with ideas for poses to draw from. She was very open to hear about our vision for the photography in terms of what we needed for our website and Save the Date cards. She went above and beyond for our engagement shoot! She was instrumental in helping choose the best spots with greenery and lighting and she clearly has experience working with couples because I felt a little uncomfortable at first, but she new just how to warm us up and get us feeling like ourselves so we could have natural interactions. Our engagement photos are beautiful --she sent them to us very quickly and has been a joy to work with overall!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
