Professional and Exceptional Work!

Denise did an amazing job with the photography for our wedding. She was easy to communicate with and very professional. She helped us think through a shot list and locations. As an added bonus, she had worked at the venue several times before so knew the best places to get gorgeous shots!

Although we had a small ceremony, she made us feel like we were all that mattered! She came in and immediately started taking shots of the rings, our outfits, etc - things I would not have thought of. Those photos came out so well; we love them! She led us through various poses and everything came out amazing. She got lots of candids of our guests and took photos of the decorations, etc.

In all, we were very impressed with Denise as a person and with her work. We would hire her again in an instant!

Amazing photographer

We were married back in 2014 and we picked Photography For A Reason and we were so happy with Denise. She was so easy to work with and captured beautiful photos. She got all the shots on my “wish list”. She was affordable, had great options for packages and just overall a great vendor. We also used her for engagement photos, (wedding photos), maternity photos and children’s photos.

Fantastic! No 105 degree heat could prevent Denise and team from capturing our wedding day and do an amazing job at it too. We were referred to Photography for a Reason. Communication and expectations were very detailed from the beginning of the partnership. This enabled my wife and I to gain better visibility of how our day would be and one less thing to stress about. Although the weather was not ideal, Denise was very willing to adapt with us as the day progressed and still was able to take amazing shots. We very much appreciated her willingness to get to know us personally and our Mexican and Samoan cultures. We feel because of that our pictures exceeded our expectations. They tell the story of our wedding beautifully and elegantly. We are just eternally grateful. Denise is very professional, personable and really good at what she does. We absolutely love her and her team. My wife, Brenda and I have multiple reasons why we recommend Photography for a Reason for all of your photography needs and the biggest reason is Denise.

Working with Denise and Liz was easy and effortless. My husband and I are not used to being the center of attention and being in front of a camera, they made us feel so comfortable and at ease. I truly appreciated their willingness to try a multitude of locations and ideas. They were open to all my ideas and wants. Aside from that the communication with Denise before and after was professional and always quick responses. She made me feel totally comfortable going into that day that they knew the plan and were in control of their part of the wedding. I TRULY appreciated have two photographers on site even for my small wedding, they were both there to get the different angles and shots. I am waiting in anticipation to see all the pictures! Denise even sent me a sneak peak and our "thank- you" photo early so I could have a taste of what amazing things were going to come!

The Reasons are amazing. I was having a wedding meltdown and Denise was a welcome source of calm and advice (not her job, but she stepped up to the plate!). Our photos were amazing, you would never guess I had planned a wedding on a budget. They made is all look like rock stars. Highly recommend!

Denise Reason is amazing! So easy to work with and the pictures came out great! My husband and I were so happy with the way the pictures turned out and every time I look at our framed wedding photos at home I think how amazing they look. We also used Denise for our holiday card photos last year and with a baby on the way I plan to use her for our future family photos!

Absolutely Amazing!! You don't need to look any further! Denise is absolutely the best!! I used Denise for my Engagement pictures in AT&T park first. We did so many shots and then headed to Golden Gate bridge for more. She was so professional and we received so many compliments on our photos. We then used her for our wedding! Simply beautiful. I have never seen such great shots, and she was so on point with angles and lighting.

We got over 600 photos for our special day and the hardest part is picking the ones to frame. I want them all. She's so personal, adaptable, and creative. We have gotten over 300 responses on our photos in just the first 5 hours they've been posted up on our facebook page. :) She truly captured our event and our guests.

Her prices are great, and the quality is just absolutely amazing!! We have already booked our Christmas photo session. I will never use another photographer again, Her photos are breathtaking!
