Julia and Ken did a fantastic job photographing my proposal/engagement shoot. They communicated well, and were a joy to work with. My fiance and I felt very comfortable being photographed; we were given direction on posing while still feeling natural. This lovely couple are truly professionals; you can tell they love what they do. The scenic location they picked was beautiful, and the photos they produced were flawless; great lighting and editing.

Details: Natural / environmental style (photographed in an outdoor setting) • Outdoors • One location • As recommended by the professional • Online or digital proofs and prints • $ (basic) • I travel to the engagement photographer

Wow. Talk about getting MORE than your money's worth, which, having lived in the Bay Area for 15 years, I thought it was a thing that had gone extinct like dinosaurs... Julia and Ken are just AMAZING!!! Professional, warm, so communicative and helpful every step of the way. My hubby and I joked that we should start planning a vow renewal now so we could hire them to do our photos all over ;). Our engagement and wedding photos looked fabulous thanks to these guys (and of course the "models" in them, ha!) My girlfriends were definitely taking notes and you bet these guys will be booked up quickly. Well don't wait too long before you contact them. I didn't, and it worked out PERFECTLY!

It took me a while to choose a photographer for my wedding, but when I saw Julia and Ken's work, I was sold. Their style is romantic, airy and timeless, which I think is perfect for wedding day (among other important life events). My husband and I met up with them in person to discuss details, and we felt connected to them right away - they are a wonderful couple and you can tell they are passionate about what they do! They were accommodating, responsive, open to our ideas, knowledgable, professional yet friendly. We were thrilled to receive early sneak peeks of our photos, which turned out beautifully! I was so happy that they were able to offer posing suggestions for us, our bridal party and families, which made the photos turn out even better. They were willing to get the shots we wanted, very patient and seamlessly worked the ceremony and reception to capture the important moments and details. Its a bonus that they are a couple, because they work together so well. I can't say enough about the quality of their work and services...I highly recommend them. Thank you Julia and Ken for capturing our big day so beautifully so we can remember it forever!

I am so glad we wired Julia and Ken to do our wedding reception photos. They were SO encouraging, had a great eye for lighting and symmetry, and were wonderful to be around! I would definitely recommend hiring them. I thought it was so cool how they work together as a couple to capture moments from different angles, and they sent us some teaser photos right away! Thank you guys! <3
