Oh geez, I don't know where to start with how much I loved working with Diane! We originally worked with her for our engagement shoot, and from the beginning she was responsive and all of her communication was detailed and transparent. She put so much time into getting to know my partner and I so that she could capture us in a genuine manner, and also so that she could help us feel as comfortable as possible taking photos (it was our first time taking photos professionally, and neither of us is super comfortable in front of a camera). Taking the photos was so much fun, and her final product captured that so incredibly well. We were OBSESSED with the photos. Her Instagram really captured her skill and artistry because we saw them in our final products, too. Working with her for our wedding was such a clear choice! In the process of preparing for the wedding, she again collected so many details from us to make sure she understood what kinds of photos we wanted, and her timeline for the day ran perfectly! We got every shot we wanted, and she checked in along the way to also get any photos we hadn't thought about leading up to the wedding. She is an absolute PRO!!! Not only that, but she brought so much joy, light, and fun to the day. Our guests loved her too!! I heard so much from them after the fact about how they felt like she was somehow everywhere all at once, not a moment to be missed!! The wedding JUST happened, and we already have LOTS of sneak peeks that look incredible. We absolutely loved working with Diane, and seriously cannot recommend her more highly. She is an absolute joy and gem, and we will absolutely be working with her in the future for any special occasions we want help capturing. THANK YOU DIANE!!

We honestly can’t recommend Katie and the team at Kreate Photography enough. From the very first phone call, we connected through our personalities and our love stories, and I knew she was the one. In what can be such a stressful wedding planning experience, she immediately made me feel calm, secure, and truly supported, and I knew I needed her by my side on our wedding day. From our engagement shoot through to the wedding day and final gallery, every part of her work has been an absolute masterpiece. Our photos were a perfect combination of unique, natural, portrait, and editorial, while being filled with genuine emotional moments between us and the people we love. On the wedding day itself, she was so much more than just a photographer — she was a friend, an advocate, and a coordinator all in one. She made sure everything ran so smoothly, gracefully managing requests and navigating family dynamics, all while making sure every one of our photo dreams came true. One of our favorite things was how effortlessly she captured everything — all the big and small moments — without us ever feeling like there was a camera in the room. Her presence was calm, kind, and incredibly professional, and it made such a difference to the entire experience. Because of her, we were able to truly relax, be present, and fully enjoy every moment of the day without stress. Katie and her team at Kreate Photography are incredibly talented at what they do, and we feel so genuinely lucky to have had them be such an important part of our special day.

Working with Bob and Becky was such a pleasure. They were completely prepared and made our wedding photography experience simple and fun. They found a perfect place for our “first look” photos and did an excellent job with the before, ceremony, and reception photos without us having to worry about a thing. Hiring them made the amount of work we had to do effortless and easy. We highly recommend this wonderful couple and are very grateful for finding them as our wedding photographers!

Jessamyn was such an amazing addition to our wedding day!! Our day turned a little hectic due to the San Francisco power outage, lots of things shifted & moved around and Jessamyn rolled with the punches and did everything to accommodate us, without a second thought. She also reminded us to keep a smile on our face and really eased our anxieties. Her energy was infectious and we were so happy to have her with us on our special day. Not 1 photo felt forced or awkward she just kept everything so casual & fun you could tell she knew what she was doing. She also sent us some sneak peek photos within a few hours after heading home.. insane & they are awesome!! Don’t think twice, choose Jessamyn for your special day :) we now consider her a friend!

I feel incredibly lucky to have had Laurie and Roy as our photographers. They captured beautiful, amazing moments celebrating both our engagement and our wedding. We could not be more happy with how everything turned out! Laurie and Roy are so sweet and friendly, and true professionals. I cannot recommend their services enough.

My husband and I got married recently on May 6, 2023, and before we had EVEN picked our date, we made sure Nirav would be available to shoot our wedding. He was a critical piece, and we would've moved our date around 20 times to ensure he was able to come. Nirav (and his amazing teammate, Amari) had previously shot my sister-in-law's wedding, and the photos were absolutely jaw-dropping. Leading up to our wedding, my husband kept telling me, "Wait until you see what a great presence Nirav is on the day." He was so right. Your wedding day is one of (if not the) biggest days of your life, and you want to be surrounded by people who light you up. Nirav does just that. He might start out as your wedding photographer, but he very quickly becomes your friend. He has such a wonderful personality, kindness and ease to him. I had so much fun getting ready with my gals and Nirav :) Of course, the greatest anticipation following your wedding day is waiting for the photos. My husband and I were on pins and needles. And while we knew that Nirav would do an incredible job, I'm not sure either of us could've expected what we saw when the "Your Wedding Photos" email came through. Wow. Nirav completely blew us away. To see life through Nirav's camera lens is a truly extraordinary thing. To see something you personally experienced through Nirav's lens is even more extraordinary. My husband and I felt instantly overwhelmed by how easy it was to relive the abundant joy we'd felt that day, just scrolling through Nirav's images. He captured literally every moment - and in a beautiful way that really told the story of the weekend. We will forever be grateful to Nirav for going above and beyond for us. And we know he does that for all of his clients, because that's just the kind of person he is. Nirav, thank you so much for everything you did to ensure we had meaningful, perfect souvenirs from our special day. Because of you, we'll get to relive it over and over again in the years to come. From one bride to another, I could not more highly recommend a photographer OR human. He's the best there is.

You will not regret choosing Marcel and Meher for your photography needs. They are professional, create stunning work product, and great people to boot! This last point is important for wedding photography because your photographer really becomes part of your "crew" on the day of the wedding. We received multiple compliments on how wonderful Marcel and Meher were, and can't wait to use them again for future photography needs.

BOOK THIS PHOTOGRAPHER. She is a true professional, takes amazing photos, and she was unexpectedly the savior of my wedding! My dress broke (entire zipper) and Jenn, our planner, and two bridesmaids were able to jimmy-rig it back together thanks to Jenn's ingenuity and split second thinking. That alone was amazing but then we got the photos and MAN did she deliver! She makes you so comfortable because she's aaaaabsolutely hilarious (my favorite photos are of all of us laughing, which was often because of her) and your pictures reflect everyone being exponentially more relaxed and natural than I ever thought we would be with professional photos. Absolutely book her!!!

we hired Melody, for our daughter, and son in-laws, engagement and wedding photos. these once in a lifetime moments, were truly, picture perfect! she captured every special look and moment. thank you for sharing your talent with others! We highly recommend Melody White Studios!

We cannot recommend Vinh Nguyen Photography highly enough! Vinh and his assistant, Valerie, were absolutely fantastic to work with for our Santa Rosa wedding. They did an incredible job with our family portraits and truly captured all the special moments of our day perfectly. Beyond their talent behind the camera, their professionalism was unmatched — they were incredibly responsive throughout and delivered our final photos quickly. If you want a seamless experience and beautiful wedding memories, hire Vinh!
