Nick did an outstanding job with photographing our event. He's a real professional with a real affable personality. We enjoyed the process throughout. The photos turned out great and he made everything effortless. We really loved working with him and will hire him again...He's rates were also very fair.

Almost a year afer our busy lives picked up, Derek and I are leaving a review. We had a few pretty specific requests regarding the photos and time frame - Nick was nothing but understanding and cooperative. He is tremendously talented and is everything I could have hoped for in a photographer. He is also kind and easy going, which made it a lot easier to discuss the ceremony for us. I loved the way the photos were presented (digitally for us) as well as the composition of the photos.
I would definitely hire Nick again for any of my photography needs, I'm glad Derek and I discussed the photographer choices for so long - we wouldn't have found Nick otherwise.

What a great choice we made with Nick Otto photography for our wedding!
He immediately got into the spirit of our unconventional wedding in the redwoods and was able to bring a creative vision, a great eye and strong technical skills to the task of capturing "our special day ".
It's such a huge blessing to have these photos that capture so many essential moments our expressions during the vows, our parents and friends looking on, action shots like the stomping of the glass and the cutting of the cake, the ceremony, and the big kiss. Beyond all these essentials, he caught many sweet, candid moments with us and our guests that we truly cherish.
Nick brought a real sensitivity to some of the things that were most important to us in planning our wedding: Rich wild color, our setting in the redwoods he had a great way of showing the scale of the trees and our tiny figures among them and just the playful goofy quality that we wanted in the ceremony and reception.
We recommend Nick most highly. He was a total professional from our first contact to the final delivery of his beautiful photos. Also,many guests commented on his pleasant and unobtrusive presence. We ourselves barely noticed that he was there after our initial portraits before the ceremony. Of course whenever we needed him he was right at hand, and he had a great sensitivity without much direction on our part for who was who and which moments happening all around us would be precious ones to capture.
Thank you Nick!

Nick photographed our wedding on Sept 27th in Menlo Park. He is seriously amazing, both as a photographer and person. Not only are we incredibly happy with all the photos that Nick took, but we also enjoyed working with him. Nick is very down to earth, calm and easy to get along with. He truly documents your day as it unfolds. Nick was very in tune to all the small moments and was there to capture them all. Nick was early and stayed with us the whole day. He has our highest recommendation and we would give him more stars if we could! He truly cares about his clients and that their day is documented well. You will not be disappointed if you choose Nick!

Nick took press photos for our musical and we could not have been happier with our decision to hire him. Super professional, fast, easy to communicate with and his photos are OUT OF THIS WORLD. Thank you, Nick!!
