Photographers near Emeryville

“Marty Kelly is a master of photographing textiles and objects. He has documented my artwork for many years and achieves the most accurate reproduction of the subtle qualities and textures in my weavings. It is very difficult to capture and I am always so impressed with his results.“

“Matt’s photo studio is full of Berkeley charm. Matt has just the right equipment, setup, and skill to deliver portraits of the same quality as the high end studios but for a fraction of the price. Make sure to bring a change of clothes you can swap quickly to get the most out of your session. Definitely would recommend!“

“Phenomenal photography work. The photo shoot and selection process were both quick and easy. Exactly what I needed.“

“If you're in need of a proposal photographer, look no further! Steven did an amazing job in helping me prepare for the big moment, the photography session was really fun, and we loved the photographs.After talking to Steven on the phone, I knew right away that he was the photographer I wanted to go with - I was rather stressed about planning everything but he put my fears to ease, was very easy to talk to, and struck a perfect balance of figuring out exactly what I wanted while at the same time offering his great wisdom and advice to steer me in the right direction on key details. Over several phone calls and emails exchanged, he helped me weigh different options (e.g. is golden hour really important? should he secretly photograph the big moment or "bump into each other" ahead of time), plan the little details (e.g. the exact location where it should happen, how the shot should be framed, etc), and come up with contingency plans (e.g. what if it rains? what if the area is too crowded?).The results speak for themselves - the proposal went great (she was totally surprised) and he captured the moment beautifully. Afterwards we spent additional time doing more posed "engagement" shots, which Steven expertly guided us through, and the resulting photographs looked natural, the framing and lighting were beautiful, and we couldn't wait to share them with our friends and family.“

“We hired E&B Photography to shoot our June 2023 wedding and were so thrilled with our experience - both in the planning and the day-of. Chris was very helpful during the initial inquiry stage, and was patient when we had to take longer than we thought to make a decision. They were very responsive and helped answer all of our questions.Our day-of-coordinator really enjoyed working with Chris and Christian, as did our friends and family. Many people remarked how efficient, professional and organized they were. We were able to get photos done sooner than expected and enjoy more of our cocktail hour (which was a highlight for us!)The photos are gorgeous and captured the day beautifully. They also took some film photos, which provide a different vibe - we love them all.We are happy to recommend E&B for your event!“

“Valentina was professional, experience, and willing to give you enough freedom to make the experience memorable. I recommend.“

“I am very impressed with Kurty’s work and would definitely recommend him! I did a mini headshot session with Kurty and absolutely love how my photo came out. He made me smile and laugh throughout the shoot which was key to getting that perfect professional photo. I even received my retouched photo the same day. Highly recommend!“

“Samantha did such a great job with photos of me and my husband would enthusiastically recommend her to anyone looking to get really beautiful couples film photography!“

“Ashley is excellent in every way. We have had her out to our home on 2 occasions. One was to take candid and posed photos during a reunion of 26 people. She captured the joys and love surrounding this event. Additionally, she is calm and will take suggestions. Overall, the best photographer we have ever hired. Ashley, heartfelt thanks from us. Randy and Karen“

“If you are looking for a photographer who does great headshots, look no further. I needed a photographer who could do a few headshots for the back of my book cover. I'm glad I went with Clayton. I contacted him late Saturday afternoon and he was able to accommodate my last minute request for a photo session for the next day, which happened to be on Super Bowl Sunday. His studio had different backgrounds and props that he used during the photo session. He chose a few different ones for me to use for mine. I chose the 1/2 hour photo session. Clayton was able to take many photos--- different angles and poses. The following day, Monday, he was able to send the file to me digitally. I was very pleased to see many photos that I liked! I chose my picks and within a day, he was able to retouch them and send them to me. Yay! Additionally, because I liked so many of the photos taken, I will purchase the entire file for future use. (Note: the photos from this file will all be originals that are not retouched but can be retouched for a small dollar amount per photo). Above all, Clayton is super personable and professional. From beginning to end, I felt comfortable and at ease with him. The photo session went smoothly. The quality of his work was perfect for me. His prices were reasonable. I highly recommend!“

“Eddie shot headshots for me and they turned out amazing! He was so easy to work with and was great at coaching me on how to pose for the photos. I would definitely recommend him to anyone looking for a photographer! His newsletter with recommendations of things to do in San Francisco has been the best!! Thank you Eddie.“

“Rebecca has been a great partner as our team headshots photographer. Found us a great spot, ran interference for us with the city, worked with our complex schedules, and most importantly delivered beautiful photos. Would strongly recommend!“

“We love our photos! They captured the humor and love at our small ceremony so well. Megan was easy to communicate with over email, and Joey, our photographer that day, was great at directing people on where to put their hands in awkward moments, when to open or close a jacket button, and so many helpful little touches that made the photos great.“

“Strongly recommend! Printed passport pictures here and had an outstanding overall experience. The team is really friendly, patient, & helpful; the service is fast & high-quality; the prices are fair.Don’t waste your time or money at Walgreens / CVS - I got passport pictures there and they were rejected with my renewal application, even though they passed the “quality check software” or whatever at the store.“

“Vee did a great job capturing my civil ceremony at city hall. She is very punctual on day of meet up, communication-wise and delivering the photos. She gave us instruction in how to pose and where to stand to get the best shots. It was quite busy at city hall that day, but she did her best in capturing the shots I wanted. I am satisfied with all the photos I received. Vee is talented and a great photographer.“

“Tumay(Tiny Forest Photography) is a an exceptional photographer and person. We booked Tumay for a maternity and newborn session. She is professional, easy going, and such a fun person to be around. Her work is amazing and speaks for itself. If you want to have breathtaking photos captured by an even better person, do yourself a favor and seucre Tumay. The Best photographer in the Bay Area!“

“Seamless experience from booking, visioning and shooting for professional headshots. Once we decided on a look, Fernando was quick yet detail oriented about scouting the perfect locations and lighting. He really knows how to put you at ease and get your best angle! I would recommend him to all my colleagues.“

“She is such talent, artist , she sees beautiful things I people they never knew they had themShe is enjoying so much what she does. And my whole family photos are proof of her talent. She is just awesome in person, too. Awesome woman“

“My wife and I were engaged in October of 2023 and were planning on doing a quick/cozy SF City Hall ceremony as quickly as possible, and one of the big questions we had was who we were going to get to take photos of the occasion. We browsed around and were fortunate enough to come across Lilia. She was one of the few photographers that we encountered who offered to do a phone consultation, and honestly that was the difference maker in our selection process. Lilia was sweet, funny, and very informative about what we could expect. The day of, she met with us before the ceremony to help us figure out where to go and what to expect which was very helpful. But let's get into the photography! We haven't seen all of the photos yet, but the previews she sent us were amazing. She somehow made me look good in pictures which is a miracle in itself! Sometimes when she's directing you for poses it feels a little odd, but trust her as there's a method to her madness. The photos turned out fantastic! We feel so blessed to have Lilia be a part of our special day and are excited to see the finished product when it is ready. There's a good reason Lilia has overwhelmingly positive reviews. She's legit. Have a consultation with her and you'll likely have the same experience that we did. She's simply awesome.“

“Gisele was patient, kind, attentive, and professional when taking photos to honor my mother's "Golden milestone," 50 years of service to Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc.“

“Similar to other reviewers here, I'd give Nadya 6+ stars if I could. From the very beginning to the end she was super responsive, detailed, and gave such valuable tips and information. During the session she made us all feel comfortable (and with 4 little kids that's a true feat)!!! She was patient and friendly with the kids, talked to them and made them feel at ease with her. She truly captured all of our best moments, was able to get all of the pictures I asked her for and she was able to do so in record time (again, with 4 kids that's incredible). She directed us in a way that helped prompt real emotions and she was able to capture the best ones in between.My 4 year old was not in the best mood and I was worried she wouldn't get any good pictures--but she exceeded my expectations!! I would 10000% recommend Nadya for all of your photography needs!“

“Such nice people to communicate and work with. Angela was always responsive and was super accommodating. Our group always feel at home whenever we book this space. P.S. When your caterer forgets the cream cheese for bagels, Angela to the rescue. :)“

“Worked with Nancy and her team on a professional headshot. Smooth, professional experience from front to back. She even coaxed some smiles out of me in front of the camera, an accomplishment in itself. Thanks, Nancy.“

“I highly recommend Jenna! Jenna has been photographing my family for the past 5 years, starting with a fresh 48 session for our first baby to now family sessions to capture the fun moments. The photos have always been beautiful, numerous (we have a hard time picking which ones to place in our book) and represent that moment in our lives. Even though her presence is never imposing (we never really feel like there's a "photographer" there), her work shows off so many little details in beautiful moments.“

“After having my third photo shoot with Nan, I'm more impressed than ever with her work. She again captured my spirit, and makes me look good yet real. The photos make me smile. As a professional, I believe it's important to have a current head shot. I've invested plenty on all kinds of courses, consultants and other business expenses. If I'm the product, shouldn't I show up as my best? It costs enough to be in business, and I don't think a professional photo is the place to be cheap. What Nan produces is a world away from the quick-picts we can all get with our phones, etc. I've finally scheduled a family shoot with Nan. I love how everyone in her group photos look so real and beautiful, and aren't just "smiling for the camera." Again, she captures the individuality of her subjects. I'm sure I'll be annoyed I waited so long to get the family portra“
