Reviews for San Jose event photographers on Thumbtack

From Tridha C.

Lisa Photography
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.

Damon was such a pleasure to work with. Communication before the event was open and smooth and the day of our event, he arrived on time, very professional, and very friendly. Turnaround time for our photos was quick, and they turned out exactly how I hoped they would. Just amazing. Would absolutely recommend, and I will definitely be contacting Damon for any other events I need a photographer for.

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.

Julia and Tiago were 100% professional and 150% committed to providing the best service possible. They not only helped us figure out what decorations and photo booth colors would make for best photographs, Tiago actually even helped us put it up. They definitely went above and beyond what was expected of them. The photos came out great. I would totally hire them for my next event.

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.

Justin was awesome. He accepted to photograph our son’s first birthday on a very short notice. He was on time and was professional throughout. He captured wonderful candids of my son and edited photographs to bring out the best of him. We have wonderful pictures to cherish for the life time. I would always recommend Justin for any of your events.

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 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 $$.

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!

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.

Sangalangz Photography
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!
