Photographers in San Francisco

“Dan was so funny and had such a friendly way about putting me at ease! If I could give Dan 10 stars, I would in a heartbeat. I hate having my picture taken. Reminds me of grade school and how awkward those portraits were. Dan was so good at making chit chat and helping me focus on something other than what I was actually doing... posing for a portrait shot but my other pics taken 2 years ago made me look like I had make-up on and the ones taken about 8 years ago, I was about 15 lbs heavier. With Dan's professional and artistic skills, I'm able to use these headshots for my website and other speaking engagements. Thank you so much Dan for the amazing work you did for me and the rest of my team! If you're on the fence about using HeadShots Inc, I would get off the fence and book with him immediately. Dan is the man!“

“Chloe Jackman Photography did an unbelievably amazing job capturing the atmosphere of the last Bay Area Film Mixer. With a keen eye for detail, Chloe balanced candid moments with well-composed shots that truly represent our community. We could not be happier with so many authentic and striking images we received!“

“We cannot say enough wonderful things about Open Homes Photography. Not only are their photos amazing, their support team really cares that you and your seller are 100% satisfied. They are responsive and quick in making any edits you ask for. We had a seller worry the buyers would think their house wasn't as nice at the in-person tour because the photos were that incredible!“

“We consider ourselves fortunate to have had Eric as our wedding photographer. His experience was evident in every aspect of his work, from the way he interacted with us to the stunning photographs he produced. His pictures are not overly staged but very aesthetic, a testament to his skill. He was terrific in giving us tips for our photographs, and we couldn't be happier with the results.

We recommend Eric without any hesitation. His responsiveness, care, and expertise make him the perfect choice for other couples looking for a wedding photographer. We are confident that they will be as satisfied with his work as we are.“

“Valentina was professional, experience, and willing to give you enough freedom to make the experience memorable. I recommend.“

“Highly recommend Vivo photography to any future newly weds! We just looked through our gallery & we are so happy with all the beautiful photos! It was great working with Fernando and he did an amazing job at capturing our special day! As we look through them we are literally reliving our wedding day! We are grateful that he did a great job at capturing these special moments because we will keep these photos forever & relive our wedding day through them, thanks again vivo photography ? ?“

“Ian was really awesome! We did a 30 minute session to commemorate our son's 1-year birthday. He did a great job keeping our baby engaged in our efficient 30 min session, and the photos turned out great (good lighting, color, etc.). We did an indoor studio session. Ian is also very nice and professional as well. Would highly recommend!“

“We cannot express enough how grateful we are to have met and worked with David to capture the current chapter of our family story. Rarely have we worked with a photographer that we just immediately clicked with and felt so incredibly at ease with from start to finish. His warmth and genuine care extended not only to us but to our rambunctious fur babes, who he immediately won over and treated with such kindness and patience throughout the entire process.After experiencing his approach, it is no surprise that the photos David captured were absolutely beautiful. He has an incredible ability to bring so much personality and emotion into his photos. We so appreciated his attention to detail and the way he truly listened and got to know us in a way that he could then bring to life in these photos. They were beyond our expectations and perfectly captured the story of where we are now as a family, which we can look back on, smile, and fondly remember together.In addition to being a talented photographer, David is also an incredible craftsman and we worked with him to create a custom frame to capture one of our favorite photos from the day. As with the photos he listened intently, included us in the process from start to finish, and was able to craft something unique, personalized, and absolutely breathtaking. We love that the frame was customized with local wood from areas that have their own memories and meaning in our story. It is an incredible piece of art in itself, and we cannot thank him enough. Every time we look at it, it's like we're right back in that moment, feeling all the love and happiness.Thank you David for helping us capture this chapter!“

“We had a great experience working with Joseph! Very clear process and communication, so it was not hard to follow the plan on the proposal day itself. Very capable direction for the extra photos, and super quick turnaround. Highly recommended.“

“We had such a good time working with Kyle and his team. He is very easy going and professional. I live in NYC while my husband is from the Bay Area, so I had noooo idea of vendors to chose in the Bay. Videography was something important to me, since my parent watch their wedding video every anniversary. I wanted a videographer who was professional, but also able to bring in sentimentality. I am so happy to have worked with Kyle! He is kind, funny, and a Brooklyn native--bonus points for me! I am not used to the spotlight, so having a camera in my face all day was not something I was used to, however, Kyle did made the experience comfortable and fun. I can tell that he was paying attention to details, angles, lighting, and content. I am so excited to see the final product, and I am so confident in Kyle's abilities. My husband and I enjoyed working with Kyle and posing for the camera, something I thought I wouldn't like! Kyle truly made the entire process seamless and tailored to our interests. Thank you, Kyle and the Hit Maker team, for bringing our wedding to life. We can't wait to see the video!“

“I had passport photos taken last week. Very nice and friendly service. Don;t go to Walgreens for passport photos.Dore studio are the best/“

“As an amateur photographer myself, I knew exactly the type of shots I wanted to capture for my engagement photos. Steven patiently helped plan out an elaborate surprise proposal and the results speak for themselves. If you're looking for a photographer in the city to capture a surprise proposal, check out Steven! He was so open to all my ideas, kept shooting past the hour we had planned on location, gave us a few preview shots within 2 hours of the proposal, and made the full gallery available in a week! I recommend you reach out to Steven with a plan, some idea of the place and poses you'd like him to capture, and enjoy the process. Thanks for capturing our special day, Steven!“

“I was looking for quality images of my Pilates practice for my website when I met Eddie Hernandez. I soon learned that he is a creative, kind, and talented photographer who can beautifully capture a single moment from multiple perspectives. I would definitely work with him again. I highly recommend Eddie Hernandez photography.“

“The team at IQvideography did a next level amazing job capturing our wedding. Not only did they capture the scenery, design, and moments with friends and family but they also managed to put together a video that so perfectly captured the feeling of that day. Your wedding day goes by in a flash and it has been such a joy having their film as a memory to cherish forever. We were able to relive sentimental and fun moments that we otherwise may not have remembered. Thank you IQ for your thoughtful and masterful work - you are brilliant at your craft and the production quality is superb. Look no further if you’re looking for a cinematographer!“

“Rebecca has been a great partner as our team headshots photographer. Found us a great spot, ran interference for us with the city, worked with our complex schedules, and most importantly delivered beautiful photos. Would strongly recommend!“

“If you're looking for an exceptional wedding videographer, look no further. Josh and his team captured our whole 14 hour wedding and didn't miss a beat! They made us feel comfortable and natural when recording us, which really showed through the videos Josh produced. We cried rewatching our videos and are so thankful to be able to relive that day. Trust in Josh and his storytelling process, you won't regret it!“

“I can't say enough good things about choosing to work with Vee for our wedding and engagement photos.

To begin, I love her style artistically. She takes clear photos, that are vibrant and don't look filtered, so I believe they'll stand the test of time and not become unreasonably dated. She does a wonderful combination of candid and posed—which was exactly what I wanted for my wedding—to capture the real moments and also get romantic shots with my husband and posed group shots. She captured every detail of the setting, our attire, those attending, didn't ask my husband and I to pose in ways that were 'not us,' and even made ordinary gift bags on a table look incredible. I couldn't be happier with the photos themselves. She also created a mini-video of our wedding day, and just like the photos, it was wonderful, personal, and sweet. I love that she provided this option and thought it was a perfect way to get both photos and video for a very affordable price.

She went above and beyond. Vee invested in us ahead of the wedding during our engagement photos, chatting with us and figuring out how we were together, so that the wedding day was more natural. And she wasn't familiar with the venue I selected, but she traveled there ahead of time to scout it out. She found the most amazing place covered in twisted vines and blue hydrangeas just outside our venue for our beauty shots, and I hadn't even thought of it. She didn't need to do any of that preparation work at all, but she did, and her investment showed.

She is also kind and never pushy. I can be a little shy, but she was easy to talk to and so very nice. She also really respected my requests and didn't try to oversell me on things I wasn't comfortable with, which wasn't always my experience when I was originally talking to a variety of different photographers in the beginning. I both like and trust her as a person, not just as a an artistic photographer, and I think that's important when you're working with someone to capture such intimate and important moments in your life.

Additionally, I found her services exceedingly reasonably affordable, especially when you consider location, quality, delivery, the packages she offers (video + photos), travel, preparation work she did, how much personal attention you get as she works with you, editing, and the kind extras she threw in for us. She was also fast. I've never known a photographer who got edited photos back to me as quickly as she did! That shocked me.

I don't know the next time I'll need photos taken again, but I plan to work with her when I do. I couldn't have made a better choice than Vee to do our Photography.“

“Tumay is gifted at making people feel at ease and at home in themselves in front of the camera. I have been camera shy my whole life and Tumay made me feel so good in the process of putting myself out there. I've hired her for business photos as well as an engagement shoot at Tilden. She captured the magic of our love and the environment. I have recommended Tiny Forest to so many colleagues and friends, often because people ask where I got my photos done. Tumay's editing skills are tasteful and elevating. 10/10 best photo shoot experience one could ask for. thank you Tumay!“

“I was put in contact with Mike on short notice before our date however Mike came through 100%. He is very knowledgeable about shooting locations in and around City Hall. Photographs were expertly edited and delivered promptly. Finally, Mike and Lily are true professionals while also being easy going and very fun to work with.“

“Samantha did such a great job with photos of me and my husband would enthusiastically recommend her to anyone looking to get really beautiful couples film photography!“

“Lilia was fantastic to work with as our wedding photographer! She offered a phone consultation prior to booking and answered all our questions very clearly. She knows SF City Hall super well and is extremely experienced. She made us feel comfortable the whole time. Photos were beautiful and delivered super on time! Definitely would recommend her to anyone!“

“We love our photos! They captured the humor and love at our small ceremony so well. Megan was easy to communicate with over email, and Joey, our photographer that day, was great at directing people on where to put their hands in awkward moments, when to open or close a jacket button, and so many helpful little touches that made the photos great.“

“Similar to other reviewers here, I'd give Nadya 6+ stars if I could. From the very beginning to the end she was super responsive, detailed, and gave such valuable tips and information. During the session she made us all feel comfortable (and with 4 little kids that's a true feat)!!! She was patient and friendly with the kids, talked to them and made them feel at ease with her. She truly captured all of our best moments, was able to get all of the pictures I asked her for and she was able to do so in record time (again, with 4 kids that's incredible). She directed us in a way that helped prompt real emotions and she was able to capture the best ones in between.My 4 year old was not in the best mood and I was worried she wouldn't get any good pictures--but she exceeded my expectations!! I would 10000% recommend Nadya for all of your photography needs!“

“I highly recommend Jenna! Jenna has been photographing my family for the past 5 years, starting with a fresh 48 session for our first baby to now family sessions to capture the fun moments. The photos have always been beautiful, numerous (we have a hard time picking which ones to place in our book) and represent that moment in our lives. Even though her presence is never imposing (we never really feel like there's a "photographer" there), her work shows off so many little details in beautiful moments.“

“I cannot say enough good things about Larissa. She was one of the absolute best decisions I made regarding our wedding. I was just looking for a few “money shots” of our wedding, you know, the photos you frame and hopefully end up on your grandkids wall one day. We have only gotten our “preview shots” back and she also already delivered SO much more than that. She managed to capture so many of the emotional moments of our big day but was never intrusive. She just somehow knows exactly where to be when to get the best photos. Also, my husband and I both usually feel a little awkward in front of the camera, but Larissa completely put us at ease. She was just fun to hang out with on our wedding day and all of that “awkwardness” melts away in the photos. Larissa is creative and artistic but also professional and organized. I trusted her completely the day of our wedding to make sure we stayed on our timeline and got all the photos we wanted (which was a big list!) She really understands weddings in general but also took the time to understand our wedding and us. She doesn't do many weddings a year, and so it really is a personalized experience. When everything is over, your photos are one of the only things you have to remember your wedding by. Looking at Larissa’s photos reminds me of all the joy of that magical day. She is absolutely an investment worth making. Honestly, my one regret is not finding room in my budget for her to photograph our other wedding events! Even after reading all her glowing reviews, if you are on the fence about hiring her, just follow her on Instagram. You'll see that wedding after wedding she makes magic.(Hopefully obvious, but Photo Credit: Larissa Cleveland Photography)“
