Lisa Photography
It was super easy to communicate with Lisa. She was always prompt and responsive. She arrived at the event on time and clicked many photos including everyone present at the event. She also delivered the photos within a couple of weeks as promised and overall did a very good job covering the event. I’m very happy and satisfied that I chose her as our photographer for my son’s first birthday.

Elena Tiuriumina
I recently had the pleasure of working with Elena as the photographer for my event. She was professional and detailed oriented. Throughout the event she gave suggestions & found some fun moments. I would recommend Elena to anyone in need of a skilled and reliable photographer. I look forward to hiring her for my future events. Thank you, Elena, for capturing memories that will last a lifetime!

Jeff Carnie Photography
Jeff Carnie did an AMAZING job for our Brazilian-themed event photos!! We are soooo happy with our photos and how quickly he got them to us! He was on time, very professional, and really made our guests feel special. He truly saved the day when our photo booth broke down and somehow he managed to take tons of event photos and jump into our photo booth to take pictures before our guests could even figure out that our personal photo booth was broken. I would definitely recommend him to anyone and if our company wasn't based in NYC, then we would definitely make Jeff our go-to photographer.

Monterey Films LLC
We recently did a pre wedding photo shoot in Sf! Bhavesh did really an excellent job in clicking our pictures and excellent editing! I would surely 100% recommend Monterey Films for any event photography!

Meeta Ahlawat Photography
Meeta has done an amazing job of capturing pictures for our baby shower event. She created magic with the photo edits, amazing angles and awesome candids. Keep up the great work Meeta. I would always consider her for all our events in future.

Karen did an amazing job photographing my wedding reception. She wake punctual, worked very diligently the entire night and left me nothing to worry about. Amazing job and crazy fast turn around time for the photos. I would definitely consider her for future events! Great work.

Thanh Trinh | Photography
Thanh Trinh was extremely communicative and professional. He was a delight to work with and was punctual for not one, but two events we had planned. He knew what to look for in moments during the event to get that perfectly framed photo.
He not only had a camera to capture those moments, but his use of a drone was also a neat touch and provided a unique point of view. All-in-all I would definitely hire Thanh Trinh again if I ever have future events to come.

Sahleen Studios
Payton produces stunning, and high quality work. She is a great communicator and works closely with you to get the style and feel you want on photos. I really appreciated how she professionally navigated our event, getting to the best spots for photos without disrupting guests. Extra bonus points for how well she and her assistant handled our dogs, who can be extremely difficult to photograph. 10/10, highly recommend.

Cheri Tran Snaps
Cheri was quick in responding to my post. After a brief phone call to understand expectation, the contract was initiate and sign online. Her team was on time to the event. After a brief check-in with me, Nguyen was off doing his job tentatively but out of our way. Online gallery available the next day. Great quality photos and covered very well of the event. Overall great value for the $$.
From Ray P.
Thanh Trinh | Photography
Trinh was great for my son's first birthday party. He responded immediately, came in early for the event, and left late at no extra charge. He was fast with returning the photos and we got all the shots we needed. Thanks Trinh!

Ever After Photo
I hired Evan to shoot a First Communion liturgy. He arrived early, checked in with me and got right to work. Stealth Photography is right—I didn’t see him moving around at all. He was very respectful and honored the sanctity of the event. He ended up staying on past the agreed upon time as there were still families that wanted photos. Over all, he was awesome to work with, and the families seem happy with the results.
Individual prints were under what I was expecting so bonus there! Evan is definitely going to be my go to guy for events.
From Merrin K.
Meeta Ahlawat Photography
Meeta arrived ahead of time and was ready to shoot for my son’s birthday party. I didn’t have a lot of time to pay attention to what she was doing, just made sure some group photos were clicked. I’d checked earlier on what would be covered and trusted her judgement. And I was prepared to wait for a week for the photos to be ready. To our surprise, our photos were ready the next day and we are all so happy with the outcome!!! She has a very keen eye and captured everyone’s natural selves including the guests! She was very patient with my one year old and captured a variety of his expressions. So glad I hired her for the event. Highly recommend her services for similar events.

Sangalangz Photography
We were fortunate to have Sangalangz Photography capture the opening ceremony of our Chromatic Music Academy. Their level of professionalism and dedication surpassed all expectations. While I'm constrained to awarding only five stars across three categories, Sangalangz Photography deserves top marks in communication, punctuality, quality, value, product, efficiency, and above all, passion. Each photograph was captured with genuine care, adding an extra touch of love to our event. Thank you, Sang, for making our occasion truly unforgettable!

Vision infinie by Sttavan
Stavan was very professional and prompt in following up. The night of the event I had some last minute issues arise and he was very understanding and accommodating. As a professional photographer myself his work was everything that I expected it to be. I couldn't be any happier with his services!
From Gayatri N.
Thanh Trinh | Photography
Absolutely delighted with the photography services provided by Thanh at our baby shower! From start to finish, the experience was fantastic.
Thanh was not only professional but also had a warm and friendly demeanor that made everyone feel comfortable. They had a great eye for capturing candid moments and did an excellent job of documenting the joy and excitement of the event.
The attention to detail was remarkable, and the final collection of photos truly reflected the essence of the baby shower. The lighting, composition, and editing were all top-notch, resulting in images that we will cherish for a lifetime.
One of the things that stood out was Thanh’s ability to capture the little details—the decorations, the expressions on people's faces, and even the tiny details of the baby shower games. It added a personal touch to the photos and made the entire collection more meaningful.
Communication with Thanh and the team was seamless, and they were receptive to our ideas and preferences while also providing valuable input based on their expertise. The turnaround time for receiving the photos was reasonable, gave us all the raw photos and the quality exceeded our expectations.
Overall, Thanh played a crucial role in making our baby shower memorable, and we are grateful for the beautiful images that will allow us to relive those special moments for years to come. I wholeheartedly recommend Thanh for any event photography needs!
From Dhwanit S.
Real Estate Photographer
I must say its a huge disappointment.
1) Not a single pic of birthday boy alone.
2) Birthday boy was in great mood but hardly couple of smiling pic.
3) We explicitly asked couple of times to take max pic of birthday boy and all decorations. But fail to cover all decorations and birthday boy.
4) No natural moments captured for birthday boy with parents
We really regret our decision of picking Daniel as photographer for capturing memories of the most memorable event of our life. We hired a professional photographer so that we don't have to worry about covering/capturing event and birthday boy. a huge huge disappointment.

SteveStudioSanFrancisco
Steve was great for our wedding! He was punctual and took very nice photos. We are both not big picture takers and he was good at capturing scenes and poses. We booked him only about a week from the event and he was very responsive to all my inquiries. Steve was also professional and nice. Would book again.

Teal Mandzik Photography
We are so happy that we went with Teal for our quarantine wedding photography. Teal wore protective gear and was SO patient during the entire ceremony. Indian ceremonies usually take time but Teal was so pleasant to work with. He had great ideas for the pictures and was responsive after the event. We received the pictures earlier than expected and our families can’t stop raving about how awesome of a job Teal did. We already know who we’re hiring for our next event 😊 Can’t go wrong with Teal. Thank you, Teal!

Meeta Ahlawat Photography
Meeta photographed my husband’s 70th surprise birthday party. She captured the essence of the affair with beautiful, memorable, candid and group pictures. It was wonderful that I was free to enjoy the party knowing that Meeta was taking great shots of this important event. She is very professional, easy and assessable to talk with, and I would hire her again without hesitation. Thank you Meeta!
From Akshay R.
Meeta Ahlawat Photography
Im so glad that we hired Meeta to cover our pre-wedding sangeeth party in San Jose, CA. Meeta was super professional and visited the venue couple of weeks prior to the event to get an idea of the lighting, and even suggested decorations that we could use, so that we get the best pictures. She has an excellent eye for detail, she arrived one hour before the event to take pictures of the decorations and couple shots, and set up the equipment needed for the photography. She was a joy to work with, and even though I am awkward in front of the camera, she made me feel very comfortable and took really great pictures. She was a dream for my fiance as well, who enjoys posing in front of the camera, and she loved the pictures that were taken. Meeta was very patient and professional and when we requested her to stay a bit longer than the intended duration of her coverage, she agreed to do so, but also quoted the overtime charges upfront, so there were no hidden fee or charges. She covered the entire event and captured pictures of nearly everyone who attended (around 40 people), capturing a combination of candid and posed photographs. Also I must add that she delivered high quality digital photo album within THREE DAYS, which is super super fast ! Overall, she was a pleasure to work with, and I would highly highly reccommend her services to anyone who is hosting an event. She is definitely worth the money that we paid for her and we would seek her services next time as well without thinking twice. Thank you Meeta !

Varun Gorthy Photography
Phenomenal experience all around! Varun photographed our 4-day wedding and did an excellent job. He was prompt, courteous, easy to work with, and very flexible. He had to stay a little longer at our events and did so without hesitation. He threw in some extra time and edits and really made my wife and I feel like we were working with a trusted friend.
The photos came out wonderfully. Editing was top notch and his camera and lighting are both excellent.
I would not hesitate to recommend Varun to my friends and family. Thanks again, Varun!!
