Emily G. Sent on 01/11/2022AMAZING photos and easy to work with!
Absolutely amazing wedding photos and what a pleasure to work with! Drew and his team captured the joy of our wedding and made every step of the process easy and fun. From the planning stages to getting our albums printed, we have been impressed with the level of professionalism, planning, and patience. Drew’s style of capturing authentic moments and still making every detail of the day shine in its best light is truly wonderful. We are not naturals in front of the camera and yet Drew’s photos made us and our families and friends feel at ease and look fantastic, and captured the happiness of the day. We will treasure these beautiful memories forever. -
Barrett Sent on 07/05/2018Drew's talent in creating photo stories is obvious but I'm happy to report that he's also a one in a million person. He is the type of guy you might meet randomly on vacation and then become best friends for a week. This may not seem like an important consideration in choosing a photographer but I would argue that this trait is the most crucial component in the quality of Drew's work. He works diligently to integrate into whatever scene he's capturing in a way I can't quite recall witnessing in other photographers. We were incredibly pleased to see the rapport we had felt with Drew immediately extended to our guests. So not only did we love our photos, but many of our guests ended up with great keepsakes too.
Given how many travel jobs Drew has, we were also impressed with the excellent communication that was provided in advance of our event. And the turn around on our project was well within what we were quoted.
Drew is professional, talented, thoughtful, creative and incredibly easy to work with. I would highly recommend hiring him. Who knows, he might even throw a few surf tips in for free!

Krista Sent on 01/28/2018My (now) husband and I got married on November 5, 2017, and we were so happy to have Drew Bird as our photographer. Drew is an amazing photojournalist who I've had the pleasure of working with before when the organization I work for was rebuilding our website (his portfolio extends far beyond weddings), so I had already seen first-hand how his calm and friendly personality could help people feel comfortable in front of a camera.
Photography was very important to us as far as our wedding planning went, and we knew we wanted our pictures to tell a story of the day and how everyone was feeling, so Drew was the perfect fit. We greatly appreciated his willingness to work within our budget, and it was nice knowing we had someone of his caliber handling such an important part of our day.
An added plus was that Drew was already familiar with our wedding venue (Deer Park Villa), which is known for it's beautiful redwood grove where we had our ceremony. It ended up being a gorgeous day, and he handled any challenges posed by the sun shining through and shadows from the trees with ease. He was also able to get photos from various angles even though he was working on his own that day - like he was in multiple places at the same time! He was really good at being stealthy and unobtrusive during the ceremony and reception (unlike our videographers who were unfortunately not as experienced), and it was really evident in the candidness of the photos of all of our guests - we loved it! Our whole wedding party had positive things to say about working with him.
We would highly recommend Drew Bird Photography for any of your photo story-telling needs. Drew's professionalism and talent speaks for itself, and we'll forever treasure the photos that captured our memories from such a special day! -

J Sent on 11/05/2017We really enjoyed working with Drew! He's extremely professional, personable, and warm (and he's just a really cool guy). We felt very comfortable working with him, both leading up to our wedding and day of. Before the wedding, he was a huge help in planning the timeline. He gave us suggestions for how to structure the day so we'd have plenty of time for the photos we wanted. He also had creative ideas for where to do first look photos and some fun portraits before our ceremony. On the day of the wedding, Drew arrived on time and ready to go, despite the very early start to the day (we had a noon wedding, so the prep started early!). He took beautiful photographs -- in particular, he really captured the beauty of the redwood grove where we got married and the energy of the whole day. We have wonderful pictures of our family and friends during the ceremony and party afterwards. We'd definitely recommend him!

User2329043 Sent on 09/22/2015Drew did an absolutely fantastic job on our wedding photos. We wanted more storytelling and capturing the moment than posed photos, but we really got everything with him. Drew is a true photojournalist; his photos tell story of your wedding day. He really worked with us to get what we wanted out of it. We went in saying, "If we get about 30-40 great photos, we will be happy." At the end of the day, we got hundreds of photos that are just beautiful. We highly recommend using Drew. -
User2117466 Sent on 05/03/2015There is only one opportunity to capture the importance of an event like a wedding. Thankfully, Drew dashed our anxieties by quickly delivering an amazing set of photos from our San Francisco City Hall wedding. Initially, we were drawn to Drew's photojournalism style and after reviewing the photos, we could not be more pleased with the results. He masterfully juxtaposed our ceremony with the amazing light and architecture of the SF City Hall building.
Prior to event, communication and planning went very smoothly. Despite neither party being based in SF, he had no issues meeting us there and even did some preliminary scouting the day before. With all the preparation, our photo session went very efficiently. We never felt rushed, and it left us plenty of time to enjoy our day.
After the event, Drew kept us up to date with the status of the pictures, and delivered them exactly when he promised (and for a very reasonable price).
Overall, we were extremely happy with Drew's professionalism and most importantly his talent. We will treasure our photos for years to come. -
User2019211 Sent on 01/22/2015Drew was fantastic to work with, and the wedding photos came out amazing. We were pleased with his professionalism and character from day 1. I would certainly recommend him as a photographer. -
User2018583 Sent on 01/21/2015I am a wedding planner and had the privilege of working with Drew on a wedding this past year. He was incredible and my clients had nothing but positive things to say about him! He put my clients at ease throughout the day and made them feel very comfortable in front of the camera. The pictures turned out absolutely amazingly, so amazing that they are the spotlight on a few pages of my businesses website. Any couple would be lucky to work with Drew for their big day or any important event. -
User1553180 Sent on 03/08/2014We had a fantastic experience with Drew and Drew Bird Photography, and we couldn't be happier with how the photos of our destination wedding in Puerto Rico turned out. Drew was a positive and calming presence on our wedding day, and was extremely easy to work with during the planning process (which was done remotely since we were in different cities). Everyone is raving about the photos, which truly capture the feel of our wedding. Drew managed to capture everything from the sweeping setting to the tiniest details, and I hardly knew he was there. We will treasure the beautiful photos he created for years to come. Highly recommended! -
User2039909 Sent on 02/14/2015I hired Drew to take photos while I was proposing and he was an absolute pleasure to work with. He was extremely responsive, professional, and a lot of fun to work with. The work was incredible and I'd absolutely hire him again and recommend him to anyone.

User1293734 Sent on 08/19/2013We had a wonderful experience with Drew of His and Her Photography. He offered excellent value and the photos were just gorgeous - we got SO many compliments on them. Drew was very responsive and he even set up a meeting to call/skype my husband and me because we were out of town often for school. Drew did exactly what we asked for, but put in a lot of input to provide us truly lovely photos. He took a ton of pictures of our family and friends enjoying themselves which allowed us to see things we missed on the day itself. He was also willing to do impromptu posed shots for our families. My husband and I loved working with Drew - he helped make our day truly special! He was friendly and very professional - a great photographer.

Paola Sent on 06/02/2013Drew is a true professional. He was very non-intrusive and I could tell he was capturing some really cool moments on our wedding day. Drew was very organized, creative, and responsive to all of our questions, no matter how minor. He really worked well with us to make sure we got the types of shots we wanted, and gave some great insight and ideas during the planning process. We are so happy and grateful we had the opportunity to work with him in Virginia.
We really love all of our photos (and so do everyone we share them with)! If you're looking for the perfect photographer for your special day, don't look anywhere else. Drew is it!
Don't look anywhere else for a photographer. This is it!
