Plan Your San Francisco Wedding: Vendors, Inspiration, & Expert Advice

We had an amazing experience with Apollo Fotografie from start to finish. They were extremely responsive and helpful throughout the entire process, which made planning much more stress-free (as much as a wedding can be!). If you’re looking for the best wedding photographer in San Francisco, Apollo Fotografie truly delivers. On our wedding day at the Palm Event Center, Carrie and Josh were incredibly professional and knew exactly how to get the right shots while keeping everything running smoothly. They made us feel confident and well taken care of, and the photos turned out beautifully. We couldn’t recommend them more!

I knew that I wanted a photographer to shoot my wedding. Not a company. I wanted to know exactly who would be behind the camera and to trust that he/she would shoot us in a way that told the story of our day. From the sacred, to the quiet, from tears to laughter, to the party. Teri and I had talked on the phone several times (I may or may not have spent quite a few hours stalking all her work and Insta pages) and I knew from the collection of her work that she would capture everything that was beautiful to me. Teri has the personality of a familiar friend, she smiles at you when you look at her! She has an easy personality, I could see her out in the crowd of friends and family in an undemanding way, but you know that she was getting it all. My husband and I HATE to pose, we are the worst clients a photographer could ask for. We told her well in advance that the pictures we will love most will be candid and joyful. Tell her what you want, what you like...then know that she's talented and she's got you!

We cannot even begin to share how great of an experience we had working with Vivian!! She is unmatched in her professionalism, organization, kindness, responsiveness, her vision and intentionality in getting to know each couple's wants/needs, the list goes on and on and ON. We had a particularly stressful planning period and Vivian would go above and beyond to check in on us personally and ask whether there were ways she could make us feel comfortable and supported, above and beyond her role of taking photos. On the actual day, she was so efficient, clear in her directions during all shots but particularly while wrangling larger family shots, and captured our aesthetics/vibe so perfectly. We cannot wait to cherish her photos for a lifetime! Thank you Vivian!!

It’s very rare that someone checks every box, and exceeds expectations, but Nayza has done just that. She’s talented, artistic, expert at her craft, visionary, an excellent collaborator, and provides a supportive/safe energy space for your true self to shine through her photography. All of these characteristics translate through the final product. We’ve used her 3 times so far, each for important milestones in our lives (engagement, wedding, birthday), and couldn’t have found anyone better. Her ideas, her photography skills, her editing skills, her energy, her genuine excitement for the craft, all combine for her to produce something ethereal, something so magical, that we are forever touched by. All these years I thought I wasn’t “photogenic” but really, the person photographing me couldn’t “see” me. Nayza has the ability to do that. To bring out something special in each photo. Her photos encapsulate the not only the physical environment, but the emotions felt as well. I see our engagement and wedding photos, and immediately feel the feelings I felt on that day. And did I mention her own emotions while shooting? She’s so excited and the best “hype man” anyone could ask for. She makes us feel beautiful, and secure in knowing that she’s going to catch us in our best moment, in our best light. I could go on, but I’m hitting this website’s word limit! Just know that she hits the target every single time, and we can’t wait to use her over and over (and over) again!

Alison was an absolutely wonderful photographer and a pleasure to work with. She was super communicative and clear about what to expect and made the process stress-free for us. Anyone lucky enough to work with her is in for a treat and will not regret it. The photographs were beyond perfect.

From the moment we first talked to Amanda, her relaxed, funny, and warm personality instantly put us at ease. She is the perfect blend of professional and personable. Amanda fit right in with our friends and family on the wedding day, and somehow was everywhere at once to capture all the little moments we didn't even get to see. The photos she delivered are honest, artful and beautifully document our special day. She has a very light touch with posing and really let us just enjoy our day. We couldn't be happier with our wedding photos, and highly recommend Amanda to any couple looking for a talented, personable wedding photographer who is really fun to hang out with!
