Shutter & Sound 

5.0

  • Fine art style
  • Starts at $2,600
  • Serves San Francisco, CA

Hi! Courtney here (that's me on the left!). Shutter and Sound is the brainchild of renowned wedding videographer Ryan Geldermann. Ryan began his wedding videography career in 2010 in Los Angeles and quickly became recognized as one of the top videographers in the U.S.. After relocating to DC and still receiving countless inquiries from all corners of the country, Ryan decided to recruit and train a few talented friends so he could continue offering the quality wedding videography he’s known for in SoCal and eventually over 10 cities. Shutter and Sound is a very small group of filmmakers dedicated to turning your big day into a work of art.

My husband and I loved working with Shutter and Sound for our wedding!! They went above and beyond when capturing our venue and all the special moments throughout our wedding day. The videographers were very personable and easy to work with, and were confident in their vision. All of the deliverables came even sooner than we were expecting which was a nice surprise, and I've watched our videos sooo many times since we got them back. Truly a great experience! I'd recommend Shutter and Sound to anyone looking for quality footage that really tells a story. :)

Roberta Nicole Photography 

5.0

San Francisco, CA
  • Fine art style
  • Starts at $10,000

Luxury wedding photography in California and worldwide... You want your photos to be as unique as you are. You want photos that capture the intimacy and emotion of your day. I have spent the past decade developing my approach to wedding photography, learning how to be unobtrusive, when to take the lead, and when to take step back and anticipate the moment. The resulting experience is one that allows you to be in the moment. The resulting images are authentic, beautiful and timeless.

Awarded Best of Zola
It's hard to properly describe our gratitude for Roberta. We ended up using her twice: once in an intimate ceremony for just our family, and again at our full blown reception a year later. No one could possibly be prepared for what happened in 2020, but Roberta from the outset was flexible, creative, and patient as we put together the pieces of two completely different weddings. Photography was the most important vendor we scouted because not only did we want beautiful, timeless photos- which we got- we also wanted to feel relaxed and comfortable around someone who would spend most of the day with us. We had so much trust in Roberta and her vision which helped us sit back and enjoy the day. We are so happy with how everything turned out and hope we find an opportunity for her to capture more of our life moments down the road.

Cassie Valente Photography 

5.0

San Francisco, CA
  • Fine art style
  • Starts at $9,750

My name is Cassie and I am a hybrid film + digital photographer, completely fascinated by the human story and the parts of it that we all share. My aim is to tell the story of your love and laughter through images that are timeless and intentional. I believe in storytelling through details, emotional portraits, and finding those quiet moments in the midst of celebration. I love capturing real moments that help my couples remember how they felt on their wedding day, through the lens of my own airy and dreamy style.

Awarded Best of Zola
From the moment we started working with Cassie, it felt like we were reconnecting with an old friend. Cassie is so thoughtful, patient, and funny- and we got to experience that multiple times when we connected with her for our photography. We truly believe that her vision and personality is what makes her photos feel so authentic and filled with light love. As awkward people anxious about taking photos, we were so relieved how Cassie made us feel comfortable from the beginning of our engagement session. She was able to somehow fade into the background, while also guiding us and capturing genuine moments. We loved that photo session so much that we ended up hiring her for our welcome dinner as well! Cassie was so easy to work with leading up to the wedding, making sure to get a list of our important shots ahead of the wedding while working closely with our planner to make sure there was a clear schedule. This meant that we could be as present as possible on our wedding day. On the big day, Cassie honestly felt more like a part of the wedding rather than simply a vendor. She knew how to make everyone comfortable, made sure the bridesmaids and groomsmen were having fun, and made the day feel natural for us. We got all of the wedding photos we wanted, and managed to even be AHEAD of schedule so we got to spend more time at our cocktail hour!!! Cassie’s photos capture the full range of emotions on the wedding day, because she’s able to connect deeply with her couples and understand what is important to them. Her style was something we gravitated to as we wanted a photographer who would not simply chronicle our event, but also capture the small details and genuine emotions that we might miss during the day. For both the engagement shoot and our wedding weekend, Cassie promptly delivered sneak peek highlights within a couple of days, and the full album within her initial estimate (8 weeks). She managed to capture the full essence of the day. Everytime we look at those photos, they bring us right back to those moments and feelings. We are so lucky and thankful to have had Cassie as our photographer. Hire her for your wedding! You will not regret it!!

Jasmine Lee is a destination wedding and lifestyle photographer residing in San Francisco, California. She is devoted to discerning couples and individuals that value the quality of crafting artistic and timeless imagery they will cherish for a lifetime.

Awarded Best of Zola
I highly recommend working with Jasmine. From the moment I emailed her to inquire for my wedding I knew she was the one. She was absolutely professional and very punctual with everything. In terms of communication, she responds to emails very quickly and answers your questions in a very professional and unhurried manner. She’s very prompt on posting on social media but yet managed to set aside some time to answer my silly questions on top of just doing a wedding- thought she was a miracle worker then! She did our engagement session where she sent us some questionnaire and tips on locations, how to look your best, props etc! Then of course, it was no surprise that the photos were undeniably beautiful. On our wedding day, she captured special moments and everyone’s candids that my husband and I couldn’t stop laughing and smiling about. You would just nod and say “how did she capture that?!”. Jasmine Lee is worth every bit of your penny if you are ever hesitant hiring her, because not only she delivers great quality wedding pictures but she has the best work ethic which motivated and inspired me as well. Not only I gained to know a good photographer, but I also gained a good friend. It was the best decision I’ve ever made. To all the couples looking for a photographer for your wedding, do not hesitate hiring Jasmine Lee, she’s priceless! ;-)

Her work has been published and featured by Condé Nast Traveler, SELF Magazine, Green Wedding Shoes, Wedding Chicks, more.

We hired Lerina for our 2021 wedding and she stuck with us through pandemic reschedules with such empathy. We were both uncomfortable being in front of the camera but she was so easy to work with and ensured things went as quickly as possible for us. It was so helpful to have the engagement shoot included so that we could see what we'd be in for on the big day. The engagement photos came quickly and were beautiful. On our Wedding day Lerina and her team were early, and helped keep things moving. The preview photos came within a week and were stunning. A few weeks later we got the full set and were blown a way. She captured all of the moments we wanted perfectly. I would recommend Lerina to anyone who is looking for a wedding photographer, or franky any professional photos!

As a devoted wedding and portrait photographer, my primary focus is on authentically capturing the genuine emotions that make up your unique story. My goal is to ensure that your special day is not just visually documented, but deeply felt.

Rafael is hands down one of the best photographers I have worked with. I used his services previously for my mothers wedding and when the day came for mine I knew he was the photographer for us. He is detail oriented, patient, creative and kind. When my husband and I decided to elope we only gave ourselves a week and a half to plan. Rafael was very accommodating to our last minute plans and made us feel as if we had planned our special day a year in advance. Rafael took the time to learn the site and plan beautiful photos accordingly. Rafael gave us great directions on how to pose and what angels would make us stand out. My husband and I are not huge on taking photos and when we received the photos we were amazed ! The photos looked natural and captured who we are as a couple. I look at these photos and feel confident and beautiful! I appreciate all the work Rafael put in to our special day ! We are so excited to share these photos with our loved ones for generations to come.

Candance is incredibly sweet, professional, and brought a wealth of creative ideas for poses and backgrounds. Her calming presence was a blessing on our busy wedding day.

I highly recommend this photographer. My wedding day was very stressful for me and my husband, Kin did everything to keep us stress free, it was fun and nice, and the end result is a great souvenir. I wanted to capture "moments" and emotions and he did it. I would highly recommend.

Allen Tsai 

5.0

  • Fine art style
  • Starts at $13,000
  • Serves San Francisco, CA

Allen Tsai founded his namesake photography business in 2011, turning his passion for the art of photography and documenting poignant memories into a business. While he is based in Dallas, TX, he has covered destination weddings all over the world including Mexico, Caribbeans, Europe, and Asia. He brings a warm personality and professional spirit to his work with an airy, romantic, and dreamy aesthetic. If you’re looking for a rare balance of technical, aesthetic, and emotional skills in a photographer, you will find it in Tsai.

My first experience with Allen Tsai was when he photographed my sister's wedding. My sister herself, is a photographer. The second time I heard his name was at my best friend's wedding. HER photographer had also used Allen Tsai for her wedding. I decided to take some time and followed Allen's presence on social media and the internet. Turns out he's VERY decorated and has been featured a lot in publications. His clients are worldwide, and all the photographers I respect want HIM for the THEIR weddings. If he's the professional that all the other professionals use, I knew I was never going to entertain any other photographer. The second I got engaged, I told my wedding planner we had to secure Allen. And that's what we did. THANK GOD because it takes a special photographer to handle everything and everyone that was, My Wedding. I got married in Downtown Dallas and my wedding had very "city" vibes. I didn't want to have every "conventional" wedding party shot, and so I had tasked Allen with the burden of making my wedding photos look like "something off the cover of Vanity Fair." Not typically his route for weddings, and also confined to a VERY tight timeline, somehow, Allen was able to execute my vision. More than that, every shot from the reception is PERFECT. The lighting was consistent in every shot (and let me tell you, the lights from the stage and darkness of the room was all over the place that night). He captured beautiful portraits, but also grabbed very intimate moments between myself and my husband, our friends, and our family - shots of moments that we didn't know anyone was watching. The photos were edited and turned in record time (amazing, considering he shoots digitally AND in film) and the gallery of proofs was enormous. This was so important because I've heard HORROR stories from friends whose galleries were pitifully small since the photographer didn't have very good content to return. The gallery is easy to use and navigate, and he even offers printing services (huge if your local pharmacy does a bad job with prints). Here is my biggest jaw-drop of the experience: Allen worked alone. My wedding had around 225 guests and you would have thought (based on the photos) that he had at least two assistants. Finally, Allen is also just awesome to work with. He's kind and dedicated to his craft, and he is so respectful and polite. He rocked my wedding and I'm so glad we hired him.
