Linabel R. says, "We couldn't have asked for a better photographer for our wedding! From the very beginning she made us feel completely at ease, and it shows in every photo. What amazed us most was her gift for capturing the moment. The happy tears during the vows, the laughter at the toasts, all those little in-between glances we didn't even know happened. Looking through our gallery feels like reliving the day all over again. We can't recommend her enough!"See more

Prem K. says, "I hired Bryan to photograph my sister's baby shower, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience. He arrived early and took the time to meet my family beforehand, which immediately put everyone at ease. My family really liked him. He blended in so naturally that it felt like he was one of the family members throughout the event. Bryan has a great eye for capturing genuine, candid moments, and he didn’t miss a single special detail. The photos turned out absolutely beautiful. His editing style is clean and polished. He enhanced each image without making it feel overdone. Bryan is professional, friendly, and easy to work with from start to finish. I texted Bryan several times before the event to plan the backdrop and lighting. He was responsive and accommodating. There’s no question that we’d work with Bryan again in the future, and I would highly recommend him to anyone."See more

I’ve heard of horse whisperers and dog whisperers. Brian is like a “whisperer of engaged couples.” He makes you feel super comfortable and has great ideas to bring out the best in you as a couple. We got 900 photos and basically all of them are amazing. Thanks so much Brian!

Sheila has been a pleasure to work with. She is personable, friendly, professional and delivers great quality photos! She has photographed our bridal shower event, maternity shoot and will photograph our upcoming newborn as well. She has been very flexible and accommodating...we even rescheduled a shoot a couple times since the weather wasn’t that good and she wanted to make sure we got great pictures. Overall a great experience and would recommend booking!

We booked Azer for a gender reveal and he did an amazing job! He shared high quality and well edited photos with just a couple days since the event. He was quick to respond and had a very positive attitude. I'd highly recommend him :)

We loved our engagement photos with Michael!!! He had a competitive rate, was very responsive, and delivered stunning photos that we'll keep forever. He was also very knowledgeable for the best places to shoot in the city and had a perspective of what lighting, how crowded, etc. it'd be. He was great to work with and we had fun during our shoot even though we had never taken couples photos before. We ended up taking golden hour photos and the lighting was so beautiful. THANK YOU so much again Michael for our photos!! Highly recommend anyone work with Michael for high value, high quality work and photos you can keep for a lifetime.

Working with Usman on our wedding day was a enjoyable and stress-free experience. Being an experience photographer for marrying couples at SF City Hall, he did an excellent job leading us and telling us about what shots worked best. Usman was very accomodating and fun to work with. We would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a photographer who is talented, a professional, and all-around nice person!

We hired Milan to do wedding and reception photos for my brother’s wedding. Right from booking, to the date of the event, he was very responsive and punctual. He even gave us ideas of the photoshoot and suggested some amazing poses for the couple. The photos came out excellent. He was flexible enough to accommodate some time changes in the schedule and agreed to do a pending photoshoot later due to rains. Would definitely recommend him for any events.

Brittani drove from San Jose to North San Francisco to capture our proposal in secret. This is after not having met either of us in person at all and with just a couple messages back and forth between us (granted we did have a contract and all..). She even said she was stopping in the city a couple days after first contacting her and scoped out my chosen location even further!

The photos turned out way better than I could’ve ever expected, even with her fabulous gallery. She turned around the photos within 48 hours and we are extremely satisfied with the results. I would highly recommend her to anyone in the Bay Area!

MJ did our wedding/elopement at city hall. He also was our witness so will forever hold a special place in that day for us! He was professional, prompt, and very easy to work with. He was laid back, and made us very comfortable. He had the edited photos back to us in only a couple of days, and they far exceeded my hopes of how they would turn out! They were beautiful! I highly recommend him for whatever photography needs you have!

Working with Andrea on our engagement shoot was a lot of fun! Andrea responded to messages quickly and communicated clearly every step of the way. My fiancé and I arrived at the shoot location late and Andrea worked wonders with the little time we had left (including driving to a second location). She was willing to work within our budget and she gave us more photos than we expected. I would definitely work with her again and I highly recommend her for couples photography.

Lazaro went above and beyond anything I expected. I hired 1Shot1Pic to help photograph my surprise proposal to my fiancée. Lazaro amazed me with his passion for photography in a few ways --

1) Went to the site of the proposal a week early to scope it out
2) On the day of the proposal, got to the site very early to prepare
3) Answered every one of my phone calls or messages within a couple of hours
4) Captured more than 100 high quality pictures for me in less than an hour
5) Played/acted along to make my surprise proposal a success

Lazaro really delivers on his promise to capture a story, not just photographs. I really lucked out in getting to work with him. I can't think of a better photographer to hire.

Ivan was amazing during our City Hall elopement. We had never had a professional photoshoot before but he made us feel at ease and guided us to natural looking poses as we went around San Francisco City Hall to take pictures. We highly recommend him to anyone looking for a wedding or couples shoot photographer!

Hired Nick last minute to take photos of a speaker at a large conference, he showed up early and did a fantastic job! We loved the pictures, he got us a couple early and are going to send the rest later - and he even knocked the price down when our shoot didn't take as long as we would have thought. I definitely recommend Nick to anyone!

Jen was absolutely amazing for our engagement photos! We couldn't recommend her more highly. She took the most perfect photos for us – and we had so much fun doing it! Jen has a great eye and took advantage of the gorgeous backdrop in the Presidio of San Francisco to create stunning shots along the trails and at the coastline. From the moment we started, Jen made us feel so comfortable and relaxed, and our photos really showed it. We spent a lot of the time just laughing like old friends, while she made us feel like models! She was so kind, thoughtful and flexible, she even helped me change into a new outfit on the fly. Jen is kind and wonderful to work with, and we'd highly recommend her to any couple!

Stavan is an excellent photographer and the end result is just amazing! We worked with Stavan for our wedding ceremony photoshoot at the SF city hall. Stavan was very punctual and came to the location with extra time margin and started taking photos as soon as we met. We are enthralled at the work quality, professionalism and flexibility by Stavan and we have really fallen in love with the candid shots he captured for us. We were very comfortable in the whole process. Stavan is great at suggesting couple and family poses on the spot and has extensive experience in wedding and events photography. We will definitely hire Stavan for our future events. We wish Stavan all the best for his endevours and helping people creating memories for lifetime! Go Stavan :)

I couldn't have asked for a better photographer for my proposal & prewedding photoshoot. I am overwhelmed and impressed with his photography & editing skills. The photos are truly exceptional. Right from the beginning he was super responsive to our messages. Since we travelled from New York, he also gave us good suggestions for a photoshoot location in San Francisco. I found him very calm and super easy to work with. We were a few minutes late to the photoshoot but Nico was right there waiting for us at our first location. He is very patient and has a good eye to detail. The photos would truly speak for it. His prices for the photoshoot are very reasonable. I have already recommended Nico to a couple of my friends. I couldn't have been happier. Thanks again Nico. It was a pleasure working with you and thank you for making these moments a very beautiful memory. Good luck for all of your future photoshoots.
Best,
PJ & Raj

Can't recommend Michael enough! We hired him for our city hall civil ceremony and the photoshoot made the day much more memorable. The photos turned out gorgeous and I love his style of edits. Also he made the experience really fun and he walked us through how the civil ceremony would go. I would definitely go with Michael again if we decide to do another couple shoot.

My fiance and I had Shaun meet us at the SF MoMA for engagement photos and truly had so much fun. As someone who usually isn't in front of the camera, he did a great job of directing us on what to do, making it natural, and really made the most of the hour we had. I was hoping for a couple of good shots, and now we have so many we love it'll be hard to pick! Great energy, clearly very talented - would highly recommend.

Shannon Iris Photography
Shannon Iris Photography
Shannon recently took our engagement photos and was so game for every scenario. As a couple, we love the outdoors and Shannon gamely suggested a camping shoot to capture us in our happy place. She was more than willing to boulder hop and scramble to chase the light. When we came upon a police blockade on the way to one of the shoot locations, she suggested we capitalize on time by simply shooting in a field and some gorgeous shots resulted from that shoot. Needless to say, regardless the setting, Shannon has an eye for capturing moments of intimacy and fun. Her eye for light and willingness to experiment meant she captured a wide variety of shots. She is uniquely skilled at photographing both people and nature. We are so happy with the results and really value the memories that have been captured in perpetuity, thanks to Shannon.

I chose Sparks because Tom had so many if not all great reviews. I also looked through his photos and they seemed like professional, quality shots. I spoke with Tom on the phone before booking him, and he seemed thoughtful and professional as well. He told me he would probably be the one to shoot my daughter's Doljanchi (major Korean event to celebrate 1st birthday). A couple of days before, he messaged me and told me one of his photographers, Monet would be coming instead. I started to feel unsure about it, since I had only spoken to Tom about what my expectations were and which shot (s) were most important. I specifically hired a photographer for a single shot of my daughter sitting on a table with all her 'blessings'. This is a costly table that is carefully set-up for this specific portrait photograph. This photo is a photo I was going to send out to friends and family as well as a photo for my daughter to look back on to understand her heritage. I reiterated in email and on phone that this was the shot I needed. I also specifically asked for 'no flash' because the entire space was surrounded by windows and natural light (not knowing the photographers abilities to shoot in this condition). The settings were so off, that every single shot (130+) came our blurry regardless of pixels per inch. There was also not enough exposure so all the white surfaces were dark and gray. Side note: You can not edit a photo to have more light, that was not taken with enough exposure. I am not a pro photographer, but I am also not a novice. Even I know how to shoot in these conditions. If you are a paid photographer that is not familiar with no flash photography or you feel there is not enough light to produce quality shots; it is your job to make the professional decision to use a flash; perhaps with a diffuser.

Not only were the settings on the camera off, the photos were framed so poorly, and I didn't get all of the shots I requested. The one shot I did request, she took ONE single photo of with half the table cut off. It was so bad I cried when I saw it because I was so upset. I cried because my baby will never be one again. I cried because we spent weeks getting all the table objects, some from Korea. I cried because I knew I would never get my squirmy baby in that Hanbok ever again with far away family watching. Lesson learned: I should have spent more time on a photographer or given myself time to do it.

Monet also did not greet me when she came in, I had to walk up to her in the midst of setting up and talking to friends and family who flew in from across the country. She didn't say a single word to me except to ask me what a certain object was. She did not smile once, did not say anything really. Tom clearly did not communicate to her what we had discussed. Knowing now, I would have hired a professional photographer three times the cost, to get the one photo Sparks missed. I do blame myself too, but wanted to communicate that anyone else that decides to choose Sparks - speak DIRECTLY to the photographer coming to your event (not just Tom). What a disaster!!! PS. Tom was very professional in responding to my dissatisfaction and refunded half of the charge. He also offered to re-shoot with everything set-up which was not possible. It was nice of him to offer.

I first contacted Giovanni in early September 2025 seeking a photographer for a proposal shoot the following month. Right away I was impressed with his quick response and friendly demeanor! Our conversation felt refreshingly personal, no copy-pasted responses like other photographers I had contacted. I gave him a few locations in San Francisco I had in mind and he asked me to provide some inspiration photos. He knows the city well and is familiar with all the locations I sent him. Once we locked in a time and place (The Palace of Fine Arts), Giovanni continued to show great communication and eased the stress leading up to the big moment! The shoot lasted about an hour. He had lots of ideas for different poses and scenes. I couldn't believe how many shots we were able to get in that short time! He truly helped make the experience fun, professional, and unforgettable. He also provided some sample shots within a couple days and had a full portfolio done within the week. The final prints came out terrific and we couldn't be happier! Thank you Giovanni!

Michael is much more than a pro photographer, he’s someone the world needs more of. Extremely humble, kind, professional, responsive, and generous. He went out to the location we shot my surprise engagement at days in advance and made a whole map with where I should be when. The day of he was there at 5 am, an hour early, waiting for us. He made the whole experience a breeze and eliminated a lot of anxiety with his reassurance. At the end of the shoot he dropped us off at the hotel without letting me pay him a cent more. AND he delivered some jaw dropping pictures a couple of hours later. Worth every dime and more. Thank you Michael!
