Harrison Boyd Photography 

5.0

San Rafael, CA
  • Photographer
  • Classic style
  • Starts at $2,500

I have been professionally capturing images for over 10 years. During that time, I built a successful promotional marketing company in Canada, received my MBA in Ireland, and moved to the San Francisco Bay Area with my wife. My favorite part about photography are the stories that are captured, the frozen moments in time that each picture highlights. Over the course of my career, I have been asked to tell thousands of stories. With the ability to operate in the United States, Canada, and Europe, I’m no stranger to traveling for a good story.

Awarded Best of Zola
Working with Harrison was probably the easiest part of our entire wedding. He built us a custom package for our less than normal wedding, and was super thorough in documenting our details. When we got the photos we loved how he and his second shooter were able to get lots of pictures of our family and friends, while taking some beautiful couple shots of the two of us as fresh newlyweds. You won't regret having him along for your special day!

"I live for the moment when my customers see their incredible edibles for the very first time. Nothing brings me more joy than watching their faces light up with great big smiles. The extreme satisfaction is what gets me every time. Knowing I make dreams come true is why I love what I do."

Christian’s cakes are delicious! A friend who was married in 2021 recommended Krumbs Cakes to us and I am so glad she did! Christian is so friendly and easy to work with, we loved our tasting and everything he makes is delicious! We went with a small 3-tiered cake in the cactus blossom flavor and a sheet cake in chocolate Kahlua. All of our guests loved the cake and I’m excited to order a mini version for our anniversary in 2024!

Welcome. I’ve been a make-up artist, chocolatier, a barista, a pet-sitter, a bartender but I’ve always been “that girl with the camera.” (I’ve also been, “that girl who sleeps on our couch” or “that girl who’s booty I saw in the newspaper” but I digress…). Currently, I base my photography business in Petaluma, CA. I grew up in Sonoma County but in my early 20’s I picked up and moved to Manitoba and that’s where I stayed for many years. Upon my return to CA in 2013 I turned my passion for photography into a career. It’s been a journey to call photography my profession, but I’ve always been a photographer and I’ve always been an artist.

From the very first conversation, their communication style was transparent and kind, putting me at ease throughout the entire process. The quality of their work was truly above and beyond - they made me feel beautiful without the makeup feeling "caked on." The look was very natural but still noticeable, which was exactly what I was going for. Masara is phenomenal at what she does and is perfect for brides who don't wear a lot of makeup day-to-day.

Awarded Best of Zola
We found Kristen Campbell Photography on Zola and absolutely fell in love! We reached out to Kristen before we even found a wedding planner or chose a date. From the very first interaction, she exceeded our expectations. During our initial consultation, Kristen made us feel so at peace with the decision to hire her to capture our wedding day. She was incredibly transparent about the details and pricing, and the contract process was simple and stress-free! Every vendor we connected with was SO excited when they found out Kristen was capturing our day, and each of them shared how much they loved working with her. Throughout the planning process, Kristen checked in with us regularly, always professional and genuinely excited for our big day. By the time the wedding week arrived, we couldn’t wait to finally meet her in person. Kristen photographed our welcome party and her warm and friendly personality immediately put us at ease. My husband had never taken professional photos before, but she made him feel so confident and guided both of us with clear, easy instructions. She captured our welcome party beautifully and was so gracious and lovely throughout the evening. After that experience, we were even more excited for the wedding day. On our wedding day, Kristen absolutely blew us away. She was timely, organized, and brought so much joy and positivity to the day. Beforehand, she talked through lighting and timing with us, providing recommendations for the best photo locations and schedule. We trusted her completely and were so glad we did—her instincts were spot on! Wedding photos can take time, but Kristen made the process genuinely FUN. Couples' photos, in particular, were one of our favorite parts of the day because of how relaxed and enjoyable she made it. Family and wedding party photos were equally seamless thanks to Kristen’s thorough preparation and attention to detail—she made sure everything was perfectly organized ahead of time. Our family, friends, and wedding party couldn’t stop raving about Kristen. Her positivity and professionalism left such a lasting impression on everyone. She truly brought so much joy to our day, and we are so incredibly grateful for that. While on our honeymoon, we received our sneak peek photos, and WOW—talk about a highlight of the trip! We couldn’t stop looking through them in our hotel room. Kristen delivered so many sneak peeks, and every single one was absolutely stunning. From couples' portraits to candids, family shots, wedding party photos, and intricate details—each image took our breath away. Kristen captured every moment so beautifully, and we’re thrilled with how perfectly she documented the love and joy of our day. The lighting and style of her photography were flawless, but even more than that, we love how genuine each moment feels in her work. Kristen, thank you from the bottom of our hearts. We feel so incredibly lucky to have worked with you, and we will cherish these photos for the rest of our lives. Your work is a priceless gift, and we cannot recommend you highly enough!

My love for photography sparked from a deeply personal place—watching my children grow up way too quickly and wanting to capture those fleeting moments before they slipped away. This journey turned into a passionate calling, and now, I look to bring a documentary and cinematic style to every session I have with my clients. As a quiet queer and a loud LGBTQIA+ advocate—everyone is welcome in front of my lens. My priority is creating a safe space for my clients where they feel they can express themselves freely so I can capture the uniqueness that makes them - them.

I can’t recommend Aubrey enough! I had a very small, intimate wedding, and the only thing I wanted to splurge on was my wedding pictures. I was lucky enough to find Aubrey’s page on Instagram, her pictures were incredible. I showed my now, husband her work, and we both knew she was the one. We said YES! I hate taking pictures because I feel like I never look good. It’s stopped me from having photos of special moments to look back on, which I knew couldn’t happen on my wedding day. When I tell you Aubrey made me feel like the prettiest woman on my special day, it’s not enough. I will be forever grateful for her and her magic! She is so sweet, and upon meeting her, it feels like you’ve known her forever. You will not regret booking with her, she will now be my designated photographer for any special occasion. The second-best YES!

I help couples create deeply intentional and authentic wedding experiences in the outdoor spaces they love with a highly comprehensive planning framework.

Awarded Best of Zola
When we got married originally, we already had ideas of how we wanted our 10 year vow renewal to go. Fast forward to 10 years later (and several sessions with Meg already in the books), we knew we couldn't do this idea without her! When we first emailed Meg, she was already on board and so game to jump into the crazy idea of not only a sunrise photoshoot in the dessert but also a walking wedding on the Vegas strip and a club bus. Nothing seemed to phase her. When we got to planning, Meg was so helpful in keeping us keep on track and checking in with ideas or backup ideas. Once the vow renewal was said and done, Meg had all of our photos back to us in under a week (!!) and oh man, did she nail every single one! We can't even imagine picking just one favorite. Meg is the only photographer we could have imagined using and are still in awe that she choose to work with us on it! To this day, it feels like a fever dream of an event, and having Meg there to document it made it even more of a dream.

For over 20 years, I have succeeded in helping couples, individuals, corporations and organizations plan their ultimate party or celebration. I offer partial planning, full planning and day of management services. With an extensive and diverse background in the hospitality industry, I have a thorough understanding of the market and all the nuances needed to champion a client’s every need. Whether throwing a bridal shower, wedding, facilitating a yearly team fundraiser or a community event - I can help you price and locate vendors and entertainment, negotiate deals, choose themes and decorations, provide onsite event management and more.

Tyler has a lot of experience in the wedding industry and it shows! From the beginning she made it clear what the timeline would look like for our partnership - what would be needed and when. When I became a little overwhelmed half-way through planning, Tyler was able to pick up additional scope of work which was a huge relief at the time. She also saved me a huge headache by picking up and dropping off some of my rental items since the minimum order spend for delivery was more than double my rental quote (my wedding was in a pretty remote area so most companies charged a high fee for delivery). Tyler was very thoughtful and organized about the little details I didn't think of which showcases her high degree of experience and attention to detail. She wasn't afraid to push on things on behalf of myself and my husband with our wedding venue - which I really appreciated! We had great communication throughout the wedding planning process - centralizing information in a shared Google doc. Tyler was willing to review my own personal wedding planning documents as well. She was always quick to respond to emails or texts, and also let me know in advance if she was going to be delayed in responding. On the day-of, Tyler had a great demeanor - when I saw her I could tell she was getting down to business but she made sure to keep things calm and light with me - making sure I felt comfy and relaxed on my wedding day. She kept things moving in the wedding day so we kept pace with the timeline. She made sure to account for all the logistical things like where to store decor items before and after the event. She was fantastic at corralling all the wedding vendors, collecting all the documents and information and knew when to keep me in/out of the loop at all times. Overall I would highly suggest working with Tyler for her high degree of experience, organization, thoughtfulness, and overall pleasant demeanor.

Russ is an absolute dream to work with! We discovered Russ by sheer luck and we were immediately blown away by his artistic talent as evidenced by his stunning photos! We as a couple aren't regulars in front of the camera, yet Russ made us feel so relaxed and comfortable throughout our entire engagement shoot. We're pretty silly by nature, and Russ capitalized on our playful personalities which completely shine through in our photos. Russ' ability to set up a shot and provide clear direction made the shoot easy, effortless, and most importantly fun! We still can't thank Russ enough for his flexibility and professionalism in scheduling our shoot. Our initial session was booked during a bout of unhealthy air quality in the Bay Area and Russ granted us the opportunity to make a judgment call on the day of the shoot to determine if we should move forward or postpone. We ultimately postponed and rescheduled for two weeks later, but on a whim we asked Russ if he could accommodate us a week earlier, and he cheerfully squeezed us in! Russ connected with us by phone on a few occasions leading up to our shoot, and he was always very accommodating to adhere to our overall vision. We had two locations that are close in proximity to one another in mind for our shoot, and we're so impressed that Russ managed to capture what appear to be five separate locations that offer such a well-rounded framework. We know we'll cherish these special photographs for a lifetime, and we highly recommend Russ for any and all photography needs!

Looking to feel like Queen and have glam sqad for the day? Look no further! Celeste is absolutely amazing. I was stuck in fonding someone that could really bring my vision to life for my day. I wanted to have soft glam waves and not look like my hear was immovable and break off ( could be trauma from all my years of scribing my hair). From the moment we connected - thanks to my wedding day coordinator’s help- she was friendly, calm, answered ALL my questions, and truly made me feel at ease. She was communicative, and very well organized- I was indecisive over my style and unfortunately, in a bind with scheduling a trial. She was flexible in her hair trial option, but my life was just chaos and I wasn’t able to go for a trial- even still. I was absolutely amazed with my hair! She provided hair prep details the day prior, to make sure my hair was in great condition for the mornring of. On the day of, she arrived with all her cargo in tow and set up to put her magic to work/ I felt like a celebrity- truly. She made me a bridal gift bag, which was a super sweet and unexpected gift of some day of necessities complete with eye masks. She managed doing hair for me and my bridal party and made my mom feel very comfortable and at esse as she has NEVER had her hair done before. My hair looked just as I had imagined & Celestes attention to details, consideration for my needs, and management of time was absolutely PHENOMENAL- I don’t know how she does it! My hair held up- despite all the wind and even at the end of the night, while a bit chaotic - it was a true testament that this bride had a BLAST at her wedding! I am incredibly grateful my coordinator found Celeste & I have followed closely along at all her work since my day because the post wedding blues are DEFINITELY hitting! Thank you Celeste for making me feel so incredibly beautiful! I’m so so glad you were part of my special day !
