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

Teri was an absolute gem to work with!! From the start, she was very prompt and open to ideas but also gave us peace of mind with her professional and friendly communications. As a bride from the US, planning the wedding overseas in France was challenging, but I knew I did not have to worry about the photos after securing Teri (which was a huge relief). She was actually the first vendor we booked. After a few calls, we met the day before the wedding (at the venue in France) and immediately connected! She was truly a joy to work with and the photos were amazing!! We could not be happier. We received so many compliments on the pictures and highly highly recommend working with Teri!

We had an amazing experience with Apollo Fotografie and working with Liv. She was super easy to work with and brought a really calm, fun energy to the whole day, which made a big difference. Her style was exactly what we were hoping for. The photos feel modern and natural but still really polished. She captured so many great candid moments along with the important shots, and looking through the shots really feels like reliving the day. She was always in the right place at the right time without ever feeling intrusive. Some of our favorite photos are moments we didn’t even realize she caught. Would 100% recommend Apollo Fotografie and Liv to anyone looking for a photographer who delivers beautiful photos and makes the whole process feel easy.

We are so so happy we decided to go with Vivian as our wedding photographer based on recommendations from a friend. She spent plenty of time getting to know us as a couple and our vision for what we wanted in our photos. She suggested a beautiful hidden redwood grove in the park as a second location after City Hall -- she really knows the ins and outs of the area! We were very nervous on the day of, and Vivian really held our hands and led us through it all. She helped us get to the right place to get our marriage license, told us where to wait, and led us to all the good spots for pictures in City Hall. We were also so sure we were going to feel awkward posing in public, but Vivian did a great job directing us and making us feel so comfortable with her calm presence. We had some specific pictures we wanted to get and she was very accommodating. We were super pleased with how the pictures came out. She is so knowledgeable and was switching through 4 different cameras! She was even able to get us a sneak peek super quick and delivered the final pictures earlier than promised. She's also overall just a cool person. We will definitely pick her again for any photoshoots we want in the future!

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!

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.

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!
