B Erkmen Photography

  • Fine art style
  • Serves Palo Alto, CA

Located in SF. As a Photographer; I'm a storyteller. My imagery captures a harmony of raw emotion, authentic evanescent moments, and curated artistry. I believe in camaraderie with my couples to create beautiful memories, love stories shared over wine & a fire-pit and giving back with each wedding I book. I champion for kindness and giving back. My couples echo this right back. They are stylish, authentic and plan amazing details but also know how to pop the champagne and head to the dance floor.

It was my lucky day the day I met the Animus Art team at a bridal expo and won their free engagement photo shoot. When my (now) husband and I met with them over coffee (the way to their hearts, I found later) to talk about the shoot, I hadn't intended on choosing our wedding photographer then. We ended up loving their work so much...but more importantly, we fell in love with them as people. They have such a passion for what they do and for the people they work with, and it shows through in every conversation, every laugh, and every photo. My husband and I stayed after they left to discuss it, and we decided that day to choose them. We had lofty goals for our engagement shoot. We wanted to do a Pixar-inspired theme. I'm a perfectionist and had a vision of what I wanted. What we got was so much more. For our wedding photos...they captured moments I didn't know I needed. Some of my favorite shots are candid photos only their eyes would have seen. And once we found out we were pregnant, we immediately turned to them to not only help us capture the maternity and newborn moments, but the birth process as well. That's how close we've become with Pedro and Burcu...they were the only people we trusted to be in the room the moment our first child was born. The photographs are more than I could have hoped for, and looking at them brings tears to my eyes. They were able to capture so many emotions, and those photos are a gift I'll never be able to repay. I can't recommend them enough, and there aren't words for how much their dedication to those precious moments in our lives means to me. I can't imagine a special occasion without them...not only as photographers, but now as friends.

Avery Wong Photography 

5.0

  • Fine art style
  • Starts at $3,700
  • Serves Palo Alto, CA

I can tell you how I started shooting photos since I was a young wee lad, but that's what everyone else says and also it's not true. I didn't even pick up a camera until I was in high school. I'm the type of person who ignores convention and does it differently, my own way. Seldom the "right" way, but always the "Wong" way. My passion for creativity and my adeptness of the tech and the technical is what allows me to weave my craft and to produce art for my couples.

When my now husband and I were looking for a photographer, we made a tier list. After lots of weeding out of mediocre photographers, we narrowed our selections down to two. We resolved to contact the last two to see which one we wanted to go with. From the minute I first met Avery on zoom, I knew that I wanted to work with him. Not only are his photos phenomenal and extremely cinematic, they are somehow able to tell a story in the photo. I felt moved looking at some of his albums and I wondered how he was able to do that. When we actually got to working with him on our wedding day, I understood his process: He actually knows how to pose a model and gives clear instructions on where to put your hand, when to tilt head down, where to look, etc. This is what I was specifically looking for, as I've had some photographers who were just 'okay' that snapped away but gave no direction as to what to do. I think this is the mark of an excellent photographer and one who has clearly done many weddings. My butt looks great in all the photos. :) Also, I feel like I would qualify as a quirky bride, and he totally embraced that and took photos of my multiple plushies. That's a 100 in my book.

Thank you so much for stopping by! My name is Sarahi and I am a Fine Art Film Wedding and Portrait Photographer based out of the Campbell, CA. If I had to describe my photography it would be bright, joyful, and colorful. I love real, authentic moments and documenting the joy that people experience with each other!

We had a great experience working with Sarahi for our wedding this past August! Sarahi was very helpful to answer all my questions throughout the booking process and to help me figure out which package I needed. An engagement session was included in our package, and that was so helpful to get to know her and feel more comfortable in front of the camera! For the wedding day, Sarahi showed up early and did a BEAUTIFUL job with the details photos. Those are some of my favorite photos from the whole day! She and her assistant worked really well with our videographers even though they had never met before, and they helped to make sure we stayed on-track with the timeline the whole day and night. She captured everything we wanted, and even helped find beautiful photo spots that we hadn't considered before. After the wedding, she delivered the photos very quickly, and we were so happy with how they turned out!

I have been a photographer for 8 years. Throughout my time as a photographer I’ve captured clothing, models, and memories. I shifted from corporate shootings to families and weddings because it gave me this warm fuzzy feeling when I edited my couples and families photos. Don’t be afraid to reach out to me and ask about my photography style, my editing style, or my favorite restaurant! I highly recommend scheduling a free consulting session!

Oury Memories provided fantastic wedding photography for our special day. Grace was extremely responsive and dedicated throughout the planning process, taking time to understand our vision and priorities for capturing the event. On the wedding day itself, Grace and her team went above and beyond to get creative shots, even climbing on chairs and furniture 7 months pregnant! We're so grateful we chose Oury Memories to document memories we'll treasure forever.

Fox & Fig Photography

  • Fine art style

  • Serves Palo Alto, CA

Hello lovely! Let me introduce myself—I’m Sarah. Welcome to my little creative space—I hope you love it here & make yourself at home. My goal as your photographer is to put you at ease and therefore be able to capture your moments authentically and beautifully. As a film and digital photographer ("hybrid" if you will!), I take a big step back to capture your memories with intention, love, and honesty - my promise to you, is to treat your day as if it were my own. Film is my favorite medium to capture wedding days on, as I feel it brings back a level of authenticity, imperfection, and refined elegance that is irreplaceable.

I don't think that I can sing the praises of Fox and Fig enough (pun completely intended since I am a music teacher!)!! We couldn't be HAPPIER with our wedding photos from Fox and Fig Photography! Sarah and her second shooter made our day so MAGICAL and we are mesmerized by our images! As a PLUS SIZE BRIDE, I experienced THE WORST engagement session through another photographer. The angles were horrible and the posing was weird/awkward and my (now) husband and I just cringe when we look at them. It was definitely the thing I worried about the most for our wedding photos. AND THEN WE MET SARAH. Sarah is the most down-to-earth and sweetest soul you will ever meet. Her confidence and genuine love for her clients are what immediately drew me to her. She really took the time to learn about us and to understand our vision for our images. She also immediately assured me that our images would be DRASTICALLY different than our engagement photos and that she was comfortable with creating flattering lines and posing of couples of all shapes and sizes. AND LET ME TELL YOU, she did not disappoint!! SHE KNOWS WHAT SHE IS DOING! My goal for our wedding day was PEACE and Sarah and her second shooter fell right into "the flow". We were completely unaware of them during our ceremony and their gentle guidance through the day put everyone at ease (including my "STIFF" husband! HAHA!), which helped create the most precious moments and treasured images. Do not think twice about booking Fox and Fig! You won't regret hiring them, but I wholeheartedly believe that you will regret NOT having them capture your special moments.

Emily was so accommodating, shaping a photography and videography package that fit us perfectly! On our wedding day she was incredibly hard working and well prepared. She makes everyone she meets feel comfortable, confident and beautiful in their pictures! On top of honoring our "shot list" and getting all of my top priorities taken care of, Emily scoped out the venue and came up with fun locations and ideas that we hadn't considered! She also played with traditional photography, shooting on film, and polaroids all of which gave us unique looks that we love!

Awarded Best of Zola
I had been following Jasmine on IG long before I knew I was going to be married. Her photos always really spoke to me and I told myself that if I ever got the chance to book her, I would. In 2019, my (now) husband and I got engaged and immediately I knew I had to contact Jasmine, of course I had to show my husband other photographers too (he is the type that needs to see a few options and prices first) but he also felt that Jasmine was the best! So we went ahead and booked Jasmine for our wedding in October 2020. Fast forward to 2020. The year the pandemic hit the world. We knew in April of 2020 that our wedding would have to be moved, there was no way the pandemic was going to be over. We contacted Jasmine and she was immediately responsive, empathetic and agreed to accommodate our change in wedding date, October 2021 an entire year after our original date. Throughout the time we booked Jasmine to the time of our wedding, Jasmine constantly checked in on us and double checked to make sure we were doing ok with everything going on. She helped nudge/remind us to book our pre-wedding/engagement photos (because I kept forgetting/timing was not working for us), and even reminding us on where we should be in wedding planning. Side note: When we DID finally take our pre wedding photos with Jasmine, I was incredibly nervous on how I would look in photos. I am going to be the first to admit that I am NOT photogenic and am already incredibly awkward in photos. When Jasmine sent us our photos after, I was SO BLOWN AWAY! I knew then, we absolutely made the right decision in booking her. Ok back to our actual wedding! Jasmine helped us with our timeline for the day, and we were able to correlate hers and our wedding venues together. On the actual day, Jasmine made not just myself and husband feel super comfortable in front of the camera, but all our family members and bridal party too. She has an incredible eye for detail and will help with posing/styling etc. We absolutely LOVE our wedding photos and we honestly could not have booked a better photographer. To sum up: Jasmine is thoughtful with the way she approaches everything and is an incredibly talented photographer. Jasmine's style is classic and timeless. I know we will be looking and loving all our photos over and over again. I would book Jasmine again in a heartbeat, and will recommend her to anyone looking for a photographer.

Real Connections. Raw Emotions. Candid Moments. 

 These are the values behind what we do. These three words are the heart and soul of our work and everything we do is based around adventure and authenticity. When you hire us, you are hiring photographers who truly care about the experience you will have on your day. We don’t mind getting a little dirty or wet. We don’t mind staying until after dark to get the perfect shot. We don’t mind the hikes, or the time in-between each event. We are truly there for you and to tell the story of your day exactly as it happens

I don’t even know where to begin to express how much we loved Candance and her husband Corey. My husband doesn’t easily warm up to new people, and he especially hates being the center of attention and hates taking photos. Both of the photographers made each of us feel so comfortable. We really felt like we had a great connection with them. Our engagement photos and our wedding photos are above and beyond what we could have hoped for. They are absolutely a work of art and you can tell that they love what they do. We absolutely believe that this team was meant to be a part of our lives and our big day. Even our wedding party told us how cool the photographers were. Thank you so much for being a part of our dream. We love you

Your wedding photographer should be someone who inspires you, and someone who eases wedding day jitters. And, hopefully someone who eventually becomes a friend. I'm excited to give you a little tour so you can learn more about me - the process of working together - and my wedding collections!

Katya was so amazing to work with! She was so efficient, kind, and took gorgeous photos! The spot she took us in Farragut had a beautiful background and was perfect! The photos turned out so beautiful and were everything we were hoping for! I got married at a church, and so the lighting was difficult, but Katya still managed to take great photos inside as well! Thank you Katya, for doing such a wonderful job!

  • Fine art style
  • Serves Palo Alto, CA

Tiffany specializes in creating the exceptional luxury of an alluring yet cultivated experience while capturing connection and beauty. She draws from over ten years in the wedding photography industry to capture authentic luminous love stories that reflect not only the beauty in a moment but the feeling.

Tiffany and her team were AMAZING! From the moment we contacted her, Tiffany was professional, helpful and easy to talk to. Figuring everything out for my wedding was all a learning experience and she helped me out so much during the process. During our engagement session, we got to know Tiffany better and once we saw the photos she took, we knew we had made the right choice. We refined the timeline (a lot) and she was available for questions or concerns when I had them. We had the most amazing wedding day, thanks to Tiffany, Alyssa and Brittany. They helped us figure out the best places, and how, to pose and made my husband and I feel super comfortable the whole time. Tiffany captured shots in a way that takes me right back to that moment and I'll cherish them forever. All the photos we got back were fantastic, and I would recommend Tiffany to anybody who needs photos of anything!

I'm a fine art wedding photographer based in Northern California and beyond. After discovering my love for photography, I always knew I wanted to become a full time wedding photographer. I am so fortunate to call this my job for over five years! My photography work often describe as romantic, soft, bright and natural that lend itself from my love of film look and fine art. When I'm not behind the camera or editing the latest wedding, you can find me spending time with my wife and our two Tabbies. I would absolutely love to get to know you and be your photographer!

Ditto and his assistant showed up early and started taking amazing photos right off the bat. The pre-wedding communication was timely. He was easy to work with and brought calm energy to a day when stress can permeate the fun out of it. We immediately received a high volume, beautiful sneak peak the evening after the wedding which was a fun surprise and a great way to start our honeymoon admiring the gorgeous photos. If you are considering Ditto Diante Photography for your wedding, I would highly recommend him.

My approach combines an artistic eye with a deep passion for storytelling, ensuring each image reflects the joy and beauty of the occasion. I strive to create stunning, heartfelt photographs that couples will cherish for a lifetime, blending elegance with spontaneity to make each moment unforgettable.

Valeriya is THE BEST! We changed our venue, our time, and day a bunch of times and she was super flexible and sweet throughout the entire process. Valeriya has a great eye and unique approach to capturing a moment. A lot of photographers can talk a big game and end up shooting photos that are washed-out or cheesy, Valeriya is humble about how hard she works to get the perfect shot, we were overjoyed with our photos. My husband and I lucked out!

Symboll® Wedding Photo & Video 

5.0

  • Fine art style
  • Starts at $2,990
  • Serves Palo Alto, CA

Symboll® is a team of Wedding Photographers and Videographers based in Los Angeles and San Francisco. We meet at the intersection of Art and Weddings, where a vision exists only in your mind, and we respect the responsibility of turning it into a reality.

We are so glad to have found Symboll to be our wedding photographer and videographer. We wanted unique photos and videos with a clean editing style that wouldn’t appear overly filtered, and Symboll checked every one of those boxes. We opted for the C2 package with RED videography, which was priced incredibly competitively considering the quality of work. Additionally, it came with up to 10 hours of coverage by default whereas most other vendors we looked at typically offered 8 hours. Working with them was a breeze. It started with messaging their client managers Christian and Attila who broke down their transparent and simple pricing structure. After payment, they sent a helpful questionnaire not only to help Symboll get to know us, but also allow us to narrow down what we wanted. They were always super quick to respond to our questions, and we never felt lost along the process. We were ultimately connected with Shant as our photographer and Misha as our videographer, and we were so lucky to have them on our wedding day. Both were incredibly professional, kind, and overall joys to work with. Importantly, our wedding happened to fall on a day with suboptimal weather (end of March 2024). It rained heavily for much of the day, and we had booked a largely outdoor venue (Rancho Las Lomas). Despite this, Shant and Misha were incredibly flexible to the wet conditions. These unique circumstances also highlighted the strength of Symboll’s creativity, as Shant and Misha took advantage of the storm to create some incredibly cinematic shots of us. We were so glad to have chosen Symboll when we saw our photos, since we are confident that few other photographers/videographers would have been able to leverage our unfavorable weather conditions like Shant and Misha did. Because of the weather, they were unable to use their drone to capture our day, but they provided us with a teaser reel video in addition to our feature film. Final photos came out beautifully and the short film came back in such a timely manner. We are so happy with the results!

Specialising in crafting elegant visual narratives for local and global celebrations with a vision to capture the essence of your special day through the medium of storytelling.

Highly recommended Rob for your wedding. He helps make everything as stress-free as possible. From the initial Zoom call to coordinating on the day, Rob was always on hand to reassure you. Rob worked incredibly hard over a 12 hour day with multiple locations including the hotel in the morning and some very busy streets in Soho. He made sure we got all the family and group photos as well as the more candid moments we wanted throughout the day. Rob is not only a fantastic photographer who can translate your vision into reality but someone you can feel instantly comfortable around. Great for a couple who don't like their pictures being taken!
