Kadeem S. says, "I had the pleasure of working with Marie from Que Vida Films for my surprise engagement photos at the Golden Gate Bridge on Valentine’s Day, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. From start to finish, Marie was professional, creative, and incredibly thoughtful in capturing such a special moment. She knew exactly how to make us feel comfortable in front of the camera and expertly used the stunning San Francisco backdrop to create breathtaking photos. The quality of her work exceeded my expectations—each image beautifully captured the emotion and excitement of the day. If you’re looking for a talented and reliable photographer who truly cares about her clients, I highly recommend Marie at Que Vida Films. She has an incredible eye for detail and a gift for storytelling through photography. Thank you, Marie, for making this moment unforgettable!"See more

Jessica B. says, "Victoria is such a great photographer! We were trying to take some last minute family photos the day after Thanksgiving because we had to cancel our session with another photographer due to the rain. (The day after Thanksgiving was the only day that was not raining for 2 weeks). We found Victoria the day before Thanksgiving and meet up with her that Friday. One of our girls was super fussy and crying the whole time... But when we had gotten our photos back... I don't know how Victoria for it, but she got some great photos of our family and even with my daughter smiling in them! I would definitely recommend Victoria to anyone who is looking for an awesome and patient photographer!"See more

Reviews for Oakland affordable photographers on Thumbtack

From Thumbtack Customer

Lawrence Gerald

Lawrence Gerald

I was looking for an affordable, no frills, family photographer-- I received 10 bids thru thumbtack, and Lawrence's bid was LESS than 1/3 the cost of the others-- PLUS he gave us the DVD with all the prints (most photographers will only allow you to order prints thru them). He scouted out a location, met us the day after Christmas, and had our photos ready on DVD the very next day. I highly recommend him for anyone looking for high quality, basic family photos.

Kathleen is a young and talentad professional photographer. She is creative, hard working and affordable. She is full of fresh new ideas on how to capture any event. Overall, she was amazing at covering my event. She captured many beautiful moments that day and delivered the pictures in timely manner. I recommend her to anyone and everyone. ~ Kin

Jonathon and Anna Photography

Jonathon and Anna Photography

My fiance and I were excited for our engagement session with Anna and Jonathon. All of the reviews are spot on of their services. This wonderful husband and wife team is just that and more so with their clients. Their communication was clear and their excitement of taking the photos made the experience above and beyond. They capture everything and when we received our teasers and then our highlights of our photos (sooner than expected) we were amazed. They perfected in lighting and capturing the happiness of this new step in our life. They are on-time, very creative, affordable, and very passionate about their job. They provide quality pictures and absolutely capture the moment perfectly. I cannot wait to continue working with Anna and Jonathon for all our life events.
