Wedding Photographers – San Francisco – Keri&Bassam

wedding-photographers-san-francisco

Last month’s wedding was in San Francisco at Saint John of God Church and their reception was at McCormick and Kuleto’s Restaurant.

Saint John of God Church was smack in the middle of everything. Chinese grocer across the street and surrounded by condos. It was a little noisy at around 630 since the dude that works at the Chinese grocery store was closing and he was making plenty of noise. That was the only bad part since the inside of the church was adorn with fancy stained glass and the nicely decorated wooden walls. The priest was nice enough to let me go “anywhere” I wanted. Of course, I did not go anywhere and tried not to be noticed by not using a flash and staying in one or two places after the priest started talking.

The reception site at McCormick and Kuleto’s Restaurant was just several miles from the church. The place

Documentary Wedding Photography Style

There are many styles of wedding photography out there. My specific San Francisco photography wedding style is eclectic – using all styles to get the necessary photograph. I use documentary style wedding photography during the ceremony, reception, and “getting ready”. My goal is to photograph a wedding that tells a story but still utilizing all styles to get the picture that I think you want. However, there are times when I do ask the bride and the groom to hold it for 2 seconds or so during the bouquet toss / garter toss and cake cutting.

Just my two cents.

Wedding Photography – Poor Customer Service

I have been looking at other photographer’s review and found this online. Apparently, the San Francisco wedding photographers in question are not answering their customer’s correspondents. Late delivering albums and other products is definitely not a good sign of customer service. One reason why I keep my wedding photography in San Francisco – San Jose – Oakland – Monterey area to 30 wedding a year so that I can deliver a quality service. Unfortunately, there are so many photographers out there practically giving away their services that everybody budget conscious brides and grooms are booking with them.

If you are a bride or a groom looking for a photographer, the initially communication should give you a clue. The wedding photographers should respond within 24 hrs to 36 hours of your email or less than 24hours for a phone call. If they have not called or emailed you for more than the specified time, then most likely it will be worse once you sign the contract since they got you on the hook already. To be honest, most photographers are honest and they love what they do. Unfortunately, no everyone is honest so you just have to be watchful.
