Photographers in Oakland picked by BestProsInTown
“What a treat! Our photos turned out gorgeous and Melissa was a blast to work with. She was also super understanding and flexible as I scheduled and rescheduled around some early parenting rollercoasters. Melissa started spotting great photos opps as soon as she arrived and was also open to my ideas. We captured a good balance of life at home, keepsake items, and out-and-about pics all in one session. I can't wait to work with her again.”
“I had a great 1:1 tutorial/session with Christian and I highly recommend him. His approach is very down-to-earth, his teaching very straightforward and he quickly helped me understand the nuances of taking fully manual photos. Looking forward to applying his recommendations!”
“We had the pleasure of having Rob take our family photos!! They came out amazing. He was patient with my kids and he knew all the right angles to get the perfect shot. We will definitely work with him again.”
“Ms.G created a amazing experience for my brand and made it so comfortable that it felt like being at home in my living room. Thank you so much Ms.G”
“Great headshots ... I've worked with Nancy twice. She's terrific. She makes you feel very comfortable and gets just the right expression from you. I love her photography: lighting, background, composition, etc.”
“Marielle was so fun to work with! She is so talented and has a great eye! Our pictures turned out stunning and she had a great selection of sneak peeks done the same day as the event! She is super organized and made the day feel special :)”
“Brennan is the best Photographer! Brennan was enthusiastic to get me the shots that I wanted. While working, he was friendly, energetic and professional. He got amazing photos of our event. Truly captured the energy in the room, and was a pleasure to work with.”
“Reenie Raschke, of Studio Montclair, is a Photographer Extraordinaire! We had the absolute pleasure of working with her at Meals on Wheels big fundraiser, on June 21st 2025. She is a rare breed of creative artist in that she brings an amazing vitality to her communications, and her photographs as well. Vivacious, creative and generous, she brought the perfect touch of elegance and play to our event and the photos she took. We highly recommend her and can't wait to work with her again and/or recommend her the next time Curated Entertainment is working on an event. We are attaching some photos to give you a sense of your amazingly compositional eye.”
“My experience could not have been more perfect. Having never had pet photography done before, I didn't know what to expect but Ellen made the day one to remember. She clearly adores animals and treated my Emma with the finest, most loving touch. At first, I was unsure about making this kind of investment but something in me said "go for it." I am so glad I did. You see, our shoot was April and three months later my beloved Emma was diagnosed with a very rare and aggressive form of mammary cancer. She likely won't make it to Thanksgiving. That shoot with Ellen was one something that I'll always cherish. The artwork means even more now. Our time with our babies are never long enough. Do all the things, make all the memories. Take all the photos. You won't regret it. Thanks Ellen. Emma and I are so greatdul for your kindness and love.”
