Jade was a pleasure to work with! I was referred to her by my brother, she also shot his wedding. She did our engagement photos (which were beautiful) and our wedding as well. She is easy to work with, communicates well and did a great job on the photos. She went above and beyond from day one, let with me several times to discuss and also met at the venue before the wedding to go over details. She captured all the details I hoped for and we’re really happy with the photos and her team overall. She uploaded everything to make it easy to download and edited many photos at my request. Thanks Jade! Such a pleasure to work with you! Highly recommend

Hi, I'm Pao, the storyteller behind the lens for your wedding and engagement session. Originally from Colombia, I now reside in San Francisco with my husband and my cat. I approach each session with excitement and joy, putting my heart and love into every moment captured. My passion lies in preserving special moments and creating a comfortable and enjoyable experience for couples.I am dedicated to ensuring that your wedding and engagement session is not only memorable but also a reflection of your unique love story. I look forward to working with you to create beautiful and timeless memories together.

Paola was absolutely amazing to work with! She stayed in touch with scheduled follow-ups leading up to the wedding, which made us feel so confident that every important moment would be captured. On the day itself, she was so pleasant, kind, and easygoing — she truly helped us feel comfortable in front of the camera. Posing can sometimes feel awkward, but she brought out such genuine smiles and made the whole experience feel natural and fun. When we received our photos (after just a few short weeks!), we were absolutely stunned by the quality and emotion in every shot. Each image feels like a favorite, and we can’t wait to look back on them for years to come. Don’t hesitate to book with her — you’ll be so glad you did!

Unmatched, epic, insanely talented artist and masterpiece! We truly cannot say enough incredible things about Julia Goldberg. From the very first email, zoom meetings, to the moment she arrived at our hotel the morning of our wedding to the very last minute eight hours later, she was the definition of professionalism, talent, and calm energy. Julia gave my husband and I our dream wedding day in every sense of the word. Her attention to detail, direction, and posing skills made us feel completely at ease in front of the camera, and she somehow managed to keep everything running smoothly while still making it so fun and natural. She was an absolute ROCKSTAR the entire day, anticipating moments before they happened and capturing them so beautifully and effortlessly. When working with her, you feel as if you’ve known her your whole life. Beyond her impressive talent, Julia is just an amazing person to be around. She is personable, friendly, kind, funny, and so outgoing—it honestly felt like we had a close friend by our side all day. That kind of presence made such a difference and allowed us to be fully present and enjoy every moment of our wedding day. And the sneak peek photos… omg we were BEYOND blown away and I cried tears of joy and am still at a loss for words looking at them everyday! Receiving them in less than 48 hours was already impressive, but the photos themselves were beyond anything we could have imagined—stunning, romantic, emotional, and perfectly capturing the magic of our day. She is worth every penny and more! From the day I found her Instagram and website, I knew there was no other photographer I could use for our wedding. Whether you’re getting married at the iconic San Francisco City Hall, on a Safari in Africa, or under the northern lights, she has the itinerary mapped out to a T and gives you the resources to make your day absolutely seamless while always keeping you in the loop and making you feel important and valued. It was truly a dream come true to have Julia as our wedding photographer. We could not have had a more treasured and memorable day without her, and we will be forever grateful. 10000000/10 experience and I want to get married over and over just to have her shoot us again! Thank you again, Julia-you made my wedding dreams come true️

  • Classic style

I'm best known for my elegant and playful small weddings photographed at the iconic San Francisco City Hall throughout the last decade. After serving many hundreds of couples there, I've taken my super powers as a creative storyteller and solver of all wedding planning problems out into the wonderlands of Northern California. Inspired by places that are stunningly beautiful yet still affordable I love finding creative twists to keep her couples excited about their weddings no matter what their budget.

Awarded Best of Zola
I love this team so much already! They have been amazing to work with and have great communication skills from Rachel, Leza, Melika, Nora, and our officiant, Shawn. The whole process is so worth booking. As a busy couple, we needed an extra hand for our City Hall SF marriage. And they made our flowers just like we asked for! I am a social worker, and it is obvious that their team knows weddings and how to make sure the day flows smoothly. We had a snafu and the team helped us so much. I will post more of the review after my photos are sent as well. We had a fantastic day at City Hall on 10/31. Here is a cell phone photo I last min asked for :) Dog friendly is always a plus.

At Tangerine Weddings, we are a team of Bay Area wedding professionals that provides quality photography and videography coverage while making the process fun and easy for couples! Currently serving the San Francisco Bay Area and San Diego, CA for 2026+2027 wedding dates.

Working with Tangerine Weddings was wonderful. Kelsey and Sean are incredibly genuine, thoughtful, kind, and professional. We asked for their services for simple videography at our wedding, and Sean went above and beyond, producing videos that beautifully captured the day. They also delivered the edited videos very promptly. Kelsey and Sean run their business with a unique blend of compassion and talent. We were on the fence about including videography for our wedding, but are so glad we did and were so lucky to have found Tangerine. We'd already booked a photographer separately, or we would've felt confident having Tangerine handle our photography as well. We highly recommend them!

Cosmopolit Photo & Video

San Francisco, CA
  • Classic style
  • Starts at $2,600

Hello, my name is Valentina! I am founder and lead photographer of "Cosmopolit Photo & Video Team". I have been photographing couples and their happiness for more than 12 years. Our clients are people who value keeping their family history for many years, and we’re happy to help them. In our work we stick to core principles - true emotions and natural posing - to catch the perfect moments. We provide not only photo and video. We are giving you a timeless result - your wedding memories.

What is the key for stunning wedding photos? Photographer's skills! And it manifests itself not only in the ability to “hold a camera in your hands” but also, and no less important, in the ability to work with people, to be a psychologist. You have both of these essential skills! We even enjoyed the process of posing because our photographer managed to create an absolutely relaxed atmosphere: we joked, fooled around and kissed - we were ourselves, and as a result, we got a beautiful and candid photos. P.S: And after the event, it was easy to contact you, you promptly answered questions and fulfilled all our requests. Highly recommend!

Helena Wong Photography 
Rating: 5.0 (4 reviews)
San Francisco, CA
  • Classic style
  • Starts at $7,200

My name is Helena, pronounced Ha-Leen-nuh (don't worry I get it all the time haha) I am a San Francisco native and ex-Silicon Valley techie who decided to take leap of faith (during the pandemic) to pursue my dreams of being a full-time Wedding Photographer. This journey has been SO wild, but I don't regret a minute of it. When you hire me, you hire not only a photographer, but a planner and a cheerleader as well ;) If you like dogs or cats, coffee (oat milk lattes FTW), thriving plants, outdoor adventures, dancing, and sunsets, I think we'll get along great ;)

Helena has given us the greatest gift. No words can express how amazing these photos turned out. We are in awe and are overjoyed that we decided to hire Helena. My husband and I were unable to move forward with our destination wedding due to the pandemic but after working with Helena we have absolutely zero regrets. Helena was not only professional but SO much fun to work with. My husband is not the most comfortable in front of the camera- but her animated approach and prompting made us both feel so at ease. She captured our intimate moments and our personalities so perfectly. Her eye for capturing the light and landscapes resulted in stunning images you would think are unreal. She is a true artist. I cannot wait to frame and hang these photos in our home. Highly HIGHLY recommend. You will not regret choosing her to be a part of your big day.10/10. Five stars!

I created A Girl and A Camera Photography in 2008 but have been around cameras my whole life. My Dad was a photographer so I learned from the best. Some people craft amazing stories in written word, others tell beautiful tales with music. I take pictures. Photography is my voice.

Awarded Best of Zola
Let it be known that you THINK you have an idea of how your day will go. You trust in all of your planning. You trust in your wedding coordinator. You trust in your family and friends. What they don't tell you is, at least from my experience, your PHOTOGRAPHER is the one who actually guides you through the day. You look to them through every moment. They let you know what's coming next. They're the ones who ultimately keep you calm and on schedule. Even through unexpected mini catastrophes, LOL. They're the ones whose energy you will feed off of, and the one who will stick with you. As you move through the day, and as you look back on it. Jennifer was absolutely amazing beyond words. Her calm and helpful demeanor, understanding and gentle, but confident and reassured. Jennifer's guidance throughout the day kept me sane and confident too, and ultimately able to live in every moment and just enjoy the day as it unfolded. And oh my god, the PHOTOS!! When we were searching for a photographer, I told my family and friends that if we booked A Girl and A Camera Photography, I would know that I wouldn't have to have a concern in the world about our photos. I would KNOW that we didn't have to worry, and that they would come out stunning. That's how amazing her portfolio is. And man, I was so right! Jennifer was able to creatively guide us through gorgeous portraits, and her abilities brought to life such stunning posed and candid shots alike, of us and of our loved ones. The way she uses light, and has the ability to frame and capture moments and emotions so incredibly, beautifully, and purely. I just can not gush enough! She even put together an absolutely STUNNING sneak peek slideshow of our photos before the big drop, and words literally can not express how perfect it was. I was sobbing, and just so full of emotion getting to play back all of those incredibly special moments and beautifully captured memories. Seriously, do yourself a favor and hire Jennifer! I just KNOW that you will not be disappointed. She is the BEST!

Red Eye Collection 
Rating: 5.0 (2 reviews)
San Francisco, CA
  • Classic style
  • Starts at $2,999

I've been photographing weddings throughout the SF Bay Area since 2010, and am a preferred photographer for several venues. Couples trust my straightforward approach, how I keep the day smooth and running well, and have an incredible eye for every tiny detail. When we work together, you'll get captured moments that you'll be excited to frame and show off for years to come.

Tldr: Oscar is a detailed, personable and experienced photographer that we'd highly recommend for wedding photography. Oscar did more than photograph our wedding. He made sure we had a lovely first look location, private and away from everyone, and was practically a second coordinator, wrangling our bus driver to City Hall and helping us stay on schedule while practically shooting two sets of pictures in the limited time we had at SF City Hall. I think his pictures speak for themselves. They really capture an ethereal quality to venues that almost feels like you're really there. We couldn't be happier with how our photos turned out.

Although I love photography in every form, photographing weddings has been particularly special for me. To see happy couples fulfill their dream of meeting their special person, and spending the rest of their life with them. To have the honor of capturing that is a blessing.

We hired Grace for our wedding and were blown away by her professionalism and artistry. Communication was clear from the start, the timeline was organized, and she guided us effortlessly through portraits while still keeping the day relaxed and enjoyable. The final gallery exceeded our expectations — crisp, beautifully composed images with a perfect balance of candid and posed shots. Her attention to detail and ability to capture emotion is exceptional. We would confidently recommend Grace to any couple looking for high‑quality, elegant wedding photography.

Photography has always been a lifelong passion of mine, I picked up my first camera as a gift from my dad when I was 14 years old. Never in a million years would I have thought that my lifelong hobby could eventually become my career. I focused on my future, working my way through college and grad school to achieve my license to practice, but a part of me realized that I wanted to pursue a career that allowed me to go on adventures and meet a lot of new people. So in 2019, I took that risk, changed my hours from full time to part time and put more focus on my photography. I booked my first gig later that year and have never looked back.

10/10 would recommend randall!! We booked him for our engagement shoot and wedding and we are beyond appreciative and impressed. RDL is the only photographer my husband and I could agree on. We liked his photography style, the quality of the work, the price, and his personality. He even guided us with the timeline to make the most of the time and photography. For both the engagement shoot and wedding day, he guided us and made us feel comfortable. We’re def not models but he made us look great! We were able to get some posed shots and some Candids. He was PATIENT with us and didn’t make us feel awkward at all. The day of the wedding, I got so many compliments from our families with how they appreciated his presence. He kindly directed people and was patient with us and our guests. Def professional guy and just honestly a good personality. He’s also priced well. Def recommend booking a consult and booking him for your events!! You won’t regret it
