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

We couldn’t be happier with our decision to have Apollo capture our wedding day. We searched for a lot of different photographers. I wanted someone who can capture good (aka hot) bridal portraits and party pictures, and they DELIVERED. Our photos turned out so dreamy, classic, and timeless. Like seriously--I want to post them everywhere! We’ve gotten so many compliments on them. There was a little change-up, as the photographer was switched from the owner to a lead photographer Jess, but honestly, it worked out perfectly because she was such a good sport the entire day, hyped us up so much, and made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera. That was not easy to do since we had what seemed like a million events that day. Overall they were just great to work with. We're so happy we found them. Would definitely recommend!

Teri is PHENOMENAL! I have already recommended her to everyone getting married. There is NO way our wedding would have been captured as well, if it weren't for her. My dad is a professional fine arts photographer, so finding the perfect photographer wasn't going to be easy. We weren't looking for traditional, rather we wanted a photographer with an artistic approach & almost editorial in style. We wanted to capture the special moments & really take us back to the feeling of the night...Teri did exactly this & my dad is now obsessed with her work! :) Every time we look at the photos, I am taken back to that moment in time and feel it all over again. She captured all the fun times & all the sentimental moments. She was never intrusive & always worked with us to get the perfect shot. She also did our engagement shoot, a perfect warm up to the real thing. Teri made us feel comfortable, let us be silly & did not make us do any traditional poses. Throughout the whole process Teri was communicative, in touch & in tune with exactly what would make the important elements of our wedding stand out. Teri really got our vision & it's 100% evident in the photos. She captured every single memory & moment! The cherry on top was how quickly she got the photos back! THANK YOU for everything you did to make our day the best day of our lives!

We at Two Perfect Events have had the pleasure of working together with Vivian Chen and Erin Prado from Vivian Chen Photography for many years. Their work captures genuine moments, emotions, and connections in a natural and effortless way. The photos are stunning, thoughtful, and full of life. They are professional, friendly, reliable, and are easy and a joy to collaborate with. We look forward to future collaborations.

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!

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.
