Binafsha S. says, "Working with Joymar was an absolute dream from start to finish. Not only is Joymar incredibly talented behind the lens, but his professionalism, creativity, and warm personality made the entire experience enjoyable and stress-free. Every photo captured by Joymar tells a story — beautifully composed, rich in detail, and full of genuine emotion. Whether it was candid moments or posed portraits, the final images exceeded all expectations. Joymar has a special gift for making people feel comfortable in front of the camera, which truly brings out the best in every shot. The turnaround time was prompt, and the editing was natural, elegant, and timeless — no over-editing, just a perfect enhancement of what was already captured so well. Joymar clearly cares deeply about their craft and the people they work with. If you’re looking for someone who is not only a master of photography but also a kind, thoughtful, and professional artist, Joymar is the one. I couldn’t be happier with the results, and I will absolutely be booking again in the future. Highly, highly recommend!"See more

Didi J. says, "I hired Giovanni for my baby shower, and I honestly couldn’t have asked for a better photographer! From the moment he arrived, he was kind, professional, and so attentive to every little detail. He captured the sweetest moments, the smiles, the laughter, and even those small in-between shots that tell the whole story. What really stood out was how helpful and patient he was throughout the day. He made everyone feel comfortable in front of the camera and even helped us with posing ideas that looked so natural in the photos. Giovanni truly went above and beyond to make sure every memory was beautifully documented. Looking through the pictures now, I can relive every emotion from that day and that’s all thanks to his amazing eye for detail and genuine passion for what he does. If you’re looking for someone reliable, kind, and incredibly talented, I can’t recommend Giovanni enough. He made my baby shower feel even more special than I imagined! 💕"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 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.

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!

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.

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!

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 :)

Nordlys Photography
Nordlys Photography
I debated leaving this review as I hate to rain on anyone’s parade, but having since worked with other amazing photographers for my engagement shoot, wedding and bridal shower, I’m able to provide a more objective evaluation of my experience with Nordlys. We hired Nordlys for our engagement party, and do not recommend him. I was shocked by how difficult it was to work with him given all the positive reviews here. -Whatever you do, please closely read the contract. I regret not doing this. While he takes tons of photos throughout your event or session, the contract stated that he would only provide 70-80 edited photos. I thought that meant that he would edit 70-80 photos and still share the rest of the photos he took at the event. But no, he would not release the photos he took. So we are missing a ton of photos that he held hostage. To be fair, after a ton of back and forth, he slightly increased the number of photos he gave us in the end, but we feel like we don’t have some critical photos for our engagement party because he refuses to provide them. Alternatively, if he wanted to cap the photos he gave us, we wish he could have provided a thumbnail gallery for us to select which photos we wanted. -His vibe at the event. Other photographers I’ve worked with are very warm and are committed to making the couple happy. With Nordlys, he basically turned portions of the event into individual photoshoots of our guests (not like photographing candid guest interactions which would have been a better use of time). The worst part of it, in some instances when I tried to join some of the photos, he shooed me, the bride, away in front of guests. It was kinda humiliating. My friend remarked - “why is he focused on asking me to pose instead of taking pictures of you with your guests?” -Additionally, we had some specific shots we had in mind that we wanted him to shoot. When we asked him to take the pictures, he said he couldn’t because the lighting wasn’t great. We begged him to just take it anyways and if it’s too bad and not fixable with edits, then at least we know we tried. He still flat out refused. It was bizarre. A good professional photographer would know how to either work with the lighting, come with equipment or lenses that allows them to work in different scenarios or do some high res edits after to fix any lighting issues. Or at the very least, make an effort and if all else fails, then that’s okay. But he literally refused to click the camera to begin with. -Photo quality: If the quality of the photos he took was great, then at least it would have been some consolation for how difficult it was to work with him. But no, the photos were quite very mediocre. We had to rehire a different photographer to do another photoshoot to get the photo quality we wanted.

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.

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!

Michael responded to my request immediately with a clear bid and quote for what he would provide. There were a few changes after I booked his services and he responded immediately and could make adjustments for us and our change of location. The day of the surprise party I checked with Michael and he reassured me he had everything under control. He arrived promptly, set right to work taking pictures in a creative and artistic way and was in the perfect position to capture the surprise on my daughter's face when she got to the party. She had gotten engaged the night before and Michael got many stunning photos of the couple in multiple backdrops. They were so high quality and perfect for engagement announcements. Thank you Michael for your great work.

Where to begin with Adam and Hanna. Go ahead and hire them. Don't second guess yourself. I wish I could put into words how grateful I am to this couple for making our engagement shoot memorable and actually enjoyable for a reluctant photo shoot groom. Booking them was easy. And Adam was extremely patient with me as I changed the location the day of the shoot. We live in San Francisco,on the morning of the shoot I realized the fog was in for the day. After emailing Adam in a panic he suggested a beautiful park down in Los Gatos. It was everything I wanted for the pictures and more . Ada and Hannah were very calm,friendly and good fun to be around it actually was very enjoyable. If our wedding was not A destination wedding I would hire him and Hanna again for my wedding photography. We even received some unedited pics the night of the shoot.they were amazing. He is awesome with the camera. They took their time. Never glanced at the watch and actually went over the time frame we had booked them for. Excited to see the final pictures. Adam and Hanna....thank you both so so much. Lynne and Ken

What a fantastic experience working with Nabor. Here is a list on why I recommend him: 1. Quick email responses. Responds within 24 hours or less. 2. He knows lighting. Our session was at 8am where the sun was at a good location. He was able to take shots without using light reflectors. 3. Professional. He stayed on task and was not rude at all. 4. Personable. Me and my fiance were a little nervous, but we got comfortable with him very fast. 5. Encouraging. He always told us we were doing great, and if he saw something good he would tell us to 'hold it' and then finish it off with 'perfect!'. Made us want to do more. 6. Enthusiastic. He was excited to shoot our pictures just as much as we were. He loves what he does and tells us repeatedly. 7. Flexible. Time was running a little short, but he gave us extra time so we can take pictures at another location across the street. 8. Team player: Did anything to get a good shot! Including sitting/laying down on concrete, laying on grass and get mud all over his pants, getting wet from the beach, and having sand all over his clothes 9. Quick: Took the shots on Saturday morning, and due to free time, got the photos the next day! 10. Quality: Pictures came out great! We were able to download at 5 different resolutions (original, XL, L, M, S). I downloaded the original raw photos, and they look like they are 3D. Post editing was great. So clear and so sharp. 11. Knowledgeable. He knows how to work his camera, his lenses, the setting, etc. Alot of good angles here and there. 12. Affordable. Offers his service at a great price, especially for a couple like us who are in a tight budget. Things I wish he did: 1. Shoot in burst mode! I feel like some photos would have turned a little bit bitter if he shot it a few seconds later or earlier (I puckered my lips on some of them, or my arm was photographed in a weird position when walking) 2. Continuous shooting. When we were switching locations throughout the whole session, I felt that he missed some moments when me and my fiance were walking, holding hands, arms around each other, or just joking around in a natural state (versus posed). Instead of walking ahead of us. I guess I wanted to feel like a celebrity and have him turn into paparazzi.. haha But besides that, he took alot of photos and we will be using 4 of them in my Save the Dates. Alot of good photos, it was hard to pick among them. All in all. A great photographer. Loved working with him, and will be planning to use him in future occasions. Book him!
