Michael L. says, "Working with Fernando was a great experience from start to finish. He’s easy to work with, communicates clearly, and truly listens to what you’re looking for. His images are professional, thoughtfully composed, and capture the space beautifully, the light, textures, and details really come through. I also appreciated how flexible he was with scheduling and how smoothly everything went on shoot day. Overall, a very professional experience, and I’m looking forward to hiring him again for future projects!"See more

Wonderful experience. I needed a local photographer for a destination 100th birthday party. I found Lawrence Gerald via Thumbtack, talked with him, and set the date. He was very professional and had great ideas. He did a wonderful job capturing the event and we could not be happier. Thanks Gerald.

We hired lawrence for our daughters 1st birthday party and he was responsive and very easy to book! He got some really great pictures of our little girl smiling and we are so very happy! Would recommend him to anyone looking to find someone easy to work, reasonably priced, and get some great photos.

We had Kenneth as our son's first birthday party photographer. He is professional, creative, and has great customer service. We share our wish list with him, and he went over and beyond to accommodate our requests and have many great suggestions! We had so many pictures from him are pinterest worthy! Highly recommend!

I am so glad I hired Cheshire to photograph my mom's 75th birthday party! In both posed and candid shots he managed to really capture the spirit of the celebration and the good time that everyone had. I also appreciated that he arrived a bit early so that he could also photograph the venue itself, so we also have lovely reminders of all of the hard work that went into making everything look festive. He also took video of many of the tributes that people gave to my mom so that she can watch and be reminded of all the beautiful things people had to say about her. I especially appreciated Cheshire's flexibility and willingness to work with me on the presentation of the photos and video. Thanks Cheshire! The next time I need a photographer in the Bay Area, you will be the one I call!

To define the word AWESOME would be describing Kenneth Embalsado from Opened Shutter! He captured all the candid moments "from start to finish" of my daughter's surprise 23rd birthday party yesterday! His professionalism was outstanding! Kenneth "Opened Shutter" now has a lifetime customer in me using his service for other future events! I will recommend him to all! Thank you Kenneth! From our very first conversation when I told you my ideas for the event...and all the steps in between...until the final day of such a joyous occasion. You captured the vision I had in my head on film in your photography! Your quality of photography captured the memories that was deeply cherished by all who attended. Thanks for such quality service! You're the bomb!!! Looking forward to working with you again in the near future. My 50th birthday is coming up! I'll be in touch!
