Portraits By The Bay

Portraits by the bay helped make my wedding smooth and amazing. They made my husband and I super comfortable since we are not that photogenic. I highly recommend them for anyone who needs photography and videography. They are fantastic, friendly, and responsive. Thank you!

From beginning to end, we loved working with Portraits by the Bay. We first met one of their photographers, Matt, at a bridal event and immediately felt like we had found a company we really clicked with. We initially booked them for photography only, but ended up having them do our videographer as well. The Portraits staff was amazingly responsive and answered my hundreds of questions quickly and accurately. They were SO incredibly wonderful the day of. There was a fire down the road from the venue and the WHOLE town was covered in a blanket of smoke, and Plans A and B for photos were both impossible. I didn't know what to do and they figured out somewhere for us to go and the unplanned pictures came out amazing! I'm so glad we worked with Portraits by the Bay :)

We loved working with Portraits by the Bay! Jason knows what he is doing and kept us on time with the day. We planned with him our timeline for the day and he was very flexible with allowing us to take pictures at multiple places. We got married a week ago and already have our gallery. We love every single photo taken, which we normally hate how we come out in photos. Jason and his crew were amazing to work with. They were professional and fun at the same time! We would recommend everyone to use them!

We found Portraits by The Bay through our venue and could not have been happier! They were professional and made they day fun and were able to keep things moving. We got our pictures back within 4 days and were blown away by the quality. They were incredible and really captured the whole wedding from start to finish!

My girlfriend and I (at the time) found out about Portraits By The Bay a couples years ago at my friends wedding (which i was in). They were fun and professional throughout the whole day. Once we got engaged it was easy to pick who we were using for our photography. Once we met them to book them it was real easy going and it felt even more comfortable knowing who we chose. Once our wedding day came they made it real easy for us didnt have any stress as far as photos went. Pictures came out great and would definitely recommend them to anyone.

Jason and his team were great! From the first meeting they made us feel comfortable and friendly. During our event, they were very professional. They worked as quickly as possible to ensure you were on time. They knew exactly what to do and when to do it. I never saw them at the event other than staged pictures! They allowed us to all party while taking photos out of the way. I can't wait to see what we get back!
We also had Megan as our coordinator for the day. She knew exactly where to be and what was needed. She and I spoke 1 week in advance of the day and talked thru all the info she needed to keep us on target. She was available and informative during the whole event.
I definitely recommend!

We found Portraits by the Bay at a bridal expo and immediately knew they were the team we wanted to work with for our big day! We met with Matthew and Megan and they genuinely cared about making sure we would have everything we wanted. Their overall respectfulness and timely manner in answering any questions was a pleasure to work with. On the day of our wedding, Jesse and Matt were amazing! They were so easy to work with and their enthusiasm for capturing great moments was remarkable. We also added a photo booth with the company and us and all of our guests loved every picture taken! We are so pleased to have had them as a part of our wedding!

The moment William and I got engaged we knew exactly who our photographer would be, Portraits By the Bay! Jason, Matt and Megan are an amazing team of professionals, they invited us into their shop to create a customized package around our exact needs. This was a huge deciding factor for us because we knew we had specific requirements for our wedding photographer and Jason was more than happy to give us exactly what we wanted, no questions asked! During our engagement shoot Matt made us feel so relaxed and comfortable that it barely felt like we were being photographed by a stranger. On our wedding day Jason and Matt had such unique visions of what they wanted for our pictures, we let them take the lead and usher us around the little village at the Smithville Inn. Jason and Matt are truly talented individuals, the way they posed us and made sure the lighting was perfect for EVERY picture is a true testament of their dedication to their work. We can not thank Portraits By the Bay enough for being so passionate about their work, we know our photos are in great hands and we CAN NOT WAIT to see the finished product! Once again THANK YOU Jason, Matt and Megan, I will be telling anyone and everyone about your services and what fools they are if they do not hire you for their next big events! Love, Jenna & William Atkinson

The whole portraits by the bay team was amazing!! They shot every angle possible and made sure that we still made it to the cocktail hour. They planned out our whole day and even got such an amazing sunset picture. I can’t thank you guys enough !! I can’t wait to get the rest of our photos and our video!

Portraits by the Bay provided expert guidance and were the ultimate professionals at my daughter's wedding. We are so pleased with the photos, which were creative and fun. Initially we had planned on one photographer but we're so glad we ultimately decided on two. Now, we have equally fantastic photos of both the girls and the guys getting ready as well as dual vantages for all of the wedding festivities. Jesse and Matt were creative, fun and a pleasure to work with. One of the best decisions we made was to have Megan act as wedding consultant on they day of the event. She kept everyone on track, ensured that the venue was set up the way we wanted and she ran interference on any issues that arose. Portraits by the Bay would be a GREAT choice for your wedding!

Jason, Matt, and the entire portraits by the bay team were amazing and I loved my engagement and wedding pictures! The team was professional, kind, knowledgeable, and very accommodating to all parties involved throughout the entire planning process. From start to finish they were supportive and attentive to detail; they answered all questions promptly and have a very talented eye. It meant the world to my husband and I. We highly recommend them.

Jason and Matt are AMAZING! We had so much fun working with them from start to finish. From the first time we met, we knew they were the perfect match for us, not only local to us, but we got along and chatted as if we had known each other for years. Everything leading up to the wedding was smooth sailing also. They were also so prompt to answer any and all questions we had and were flexible with everything. The day of the wedding went off without a hitch! The weather wasn't the best, but they made it work and we got some great pictures outside still. Working with them was so easy! They were calm, cool, & collected and everything just went smoothly. I would recommend them in a heart beat! We haven't gotten our pictures back yet (the wedding was only 5 days ago) but the little sneak peaks he was showing me on his camera were gorgeous and I can not wait to see them all! I could go on for days about how great they were to work with! Highly recommend!

Jason and his team were amazing from start to finish! Every detail was taken care of with such ease. Our engagement photos with Matt were so much fun. On the wedding day both Jason and Matt helped us both feel so comfortable and excited!
