I started shooting photos and video in Greece, and since moving to the US, I have dedicated myself to shooting weddings, elopements and engagements. I love being able to capture the love that my couples have for each other and the unique energy each couple has. I am always down to shoot in new locations and find the best place for my shoots!

My husband and I got married in September 2024 and we can truly say Enea and Hayley were our favorite vendors to work with throughout the entire process! Not only did our photos come out absolutely STUNNING but both of them were extremely personable, friendly and fun to work with. They did a good job working with our backdrop/venue. Our wedding was held at Chabot space and science center so there was limited “pretty” areas to work with, and yet they still managed to make our photos look out of a magazine. Thank you again Enea and Hayley!!

Jade is a wonderful photographer. She is on-top of everything. So glad to have her as our engagement photographer in San Francisco. Since me and my partner don't know how to pose, she guided both of us on how to pose from start to finish. She is incredible. She works well with the videographer Ed. They are like perfect combo to capture special moments. She also asked for my Pinterest inspiration before we started and video call'ed each other to talk about where I want my shoots to be done and gave some recommendations. During our shoot, they extended their time eventhough its passed that. Overall, I would recommend Jade and Ed, the videographer.

Hi, I'm Pao, the storyteller behind the lens for your wedding and engagement session. Originally from Colombia, I now reside in San Francisco with my husband and my cat. I approach each session with excitement and joy, putting my heart and love into every moment captured. My passion lies in preserving special moments and creating a comfortable and enjoyable experience for couples.I am dedicated to ensuring that your wedding and engagement session is not only memorable but also a reflection of your unique love story. I look forward to working with you to create beautiful and timeless memories together.

Paola was absolutely amazing to work with! She stayed in touch with scheduled follow-ups leading up to the wedding, which made us feel so confident that every important moment would be captured. On the day itself, she was so pleasant, kind, and easygoing — she truly helped us feel comfortable in front of the camera. Posing can sometimes feel awkward, but she brought out such genuine smiles and made the whole experience feel natural and fun. When we received our photos (after just a few short weeks!), we were absolutely stunned by the quality and emotion in every shot. Each image feels like a favorite, and we can’t wait to look back on them for years to come. Don’t hesitate to book with her — you’ll be so glad you did!

I'm best known for my elegant and playful small weddings photographed at the iconic San Francisco City Hall throughout the last decade. After serving many hundreds of couples there, I've taken my super powers as a creative storyteller and solver of all wedding planning problems out into the wonderlands of Northern California. Inspired by places that are stunningly beautiful yet still affordable I love finding creative twists to keep her couples excited about their weddings no matter what their budget.

Awarded Best of Zola
I love this team so much already! They have been amazing to work with and have great communication skills from Rachel, Leza, Melika, Nora, and our officiant, Shawn. The whole process is so worth booking. As a busy couple, we needed an extra hand for our City Hall SF marriage. And they made our flowers just like we asked for! I am a social worker, and it is obvious that their team knows weddings and how to make sure the day flows smoothly. We had a snafu and the team helped us so much. I will post more of the review after my photos are sent as well. We had a fantastic day at City Hall on 10/31. Here is a cell phone photo I last min asked for :) Dog friendly is always a plus.

Helena Wong Photography

San Francisco, CA
  • Classic style
  • Starts at $7,200

My name is Helena, pronounced Ha-Leen-nuh (don't worry I get it all the time haha) I am a San Francisco native and ex-Silicon Valley techie who decided to take leap of faith (during the pandemic) to pursue my dreams of being a full-time Wedding Photographer. This journey has been SO wild, but I don't regret a minute of it. When you hire me, you hire not only a photographer, but a planner and a cheerleader as well ;) If you like dogs or cats, coffee (oat milk lattes FTW), thriving plants, outdoor adventures, dancing, and sunsets, I think we'll get along great ;)

I can’t say enough great things about Helena! We found her by briefly searching through Instagram and were in awe of her work. What stood out from the start was her unique ability to capture the happiest of moments, nothing ever looking staged or forced. She was so incredibly responsive right away! I proceeded to “interview” Helena and from the first phone conversation she put me at ease. I had “interviewed” at least 5-6 other photographers, and kept coming back to her galleries. On the day of our scheduled shoot, the Bay Area fire season led to some unpredictable issues - air quality, smoke and hazy sky. Helena worked with us through changing the original location two hours before the shoot and her positivity never skipped a beat. Throughout the photoshoot, it felt like we were hanging out with a close friend - Helena has a true talent for making people feel comfortable! She directed us through the process and contributed to many laughs along the way. Her beautifully captured photos were delivered in such a quick manner - I’m honestly stunned, don’t know how she does it! Thank you, Helena. We will be sure to work with her again in the future!

I created A Girl and A Camera Photography in 2008 but have been around cameras my whole life. My Dad was a photographer so I learned from the best. Some people craft amazing stories in written word, others tell beautiful tales with music. I take pictures. Photography is my voice.

Awarded Best of Zola
Let it be known that you THINK you have an idea of how your day will go. You trust in all of your planning. You trust in your wedding coordinator. You trust in your family and friends. What they don't tell you is, at least from my experience, your PHOTOGRAPHER is the one who actually guides you through the day. You look to them through every moment. They let you know what's coming next. They're the ones who ultimately keep you calm and on schedule. Even through unexpected mini catastrophes, LOL. They're the ones whose energy you will feed off of, and the one who will stick with you. As you move through the day, and as you look back on it. Jennifer was absolutely amazing beyond words. Her calm and helpful demeanor, understanding and gentle, but confident and reassured. Jennifer's guidance throughout the day kept me sane and confident too, and ultimately able to live in every moment and just enjoy the day as it unfolded. And oh my god, the PHOTOS!! When we were searching for a photographer, I told my family and friends that if we booked A Girl and A Camera Photography, I would know that I wouldn't have to have a concern in the world about our photos. I would KNOW that we didn't have to worry, and that they would come out stunning. That's how amazing her portfolio is. And man, I was so right! Jennifer was able to creatively guide us through gorgeous portraits, and her abilities brought to life such stunning posed and candid shots alike, of us and of our loved ones. The way she uses light, and has the ability to frame and capture moments and emotions so incredibly, beautifully, and purely. I just can not gush enough! She even put together an absolutely STUNNING sneak peek slideshow of our photos before the big drop, and words literally can not express how perfect it was. I was sobbing, and just so full of emotion getting to play back all of those incredibly special moments and beautifully captured memories. Seriously, do yourself a favor and hire Jennifer! I just KNOW that you will not be disappointed. She is the BEST!

I've been photographing weddings throughout the SF Bay Area since 2010, and am a preferred photographer for several venues. Couples trust my straightforward approach, how I keep the day smooth and running well, and have an incredible eye for every tiny detail. When we work together, you'll get captured moments that you'll be excited to frame and show off for years to come.

My now wife and I got married at the SF city hall and we are so blessed and grateful to have Oscar capture this special moment for us! Oscar is super friendly and professional and just a pleasure to work with. He really knows the ins and outs of the city hall and is amazing at choosing the perfect spots with the perfect lighting. All of the pictures turned out fantastic and we are very thrilled with the results. Oscar was very helpful throughout the process as well. He made sure to follow up with us each step of the process and gave us useful tips to make the whole experience as smooth as possible. I would highly recommend Oscar and the Red Eye Collection to anyone who would like to do a photoshoot!

Although I love photography in every form, photographing weddings has been particularly special for me. To see happy couples fulfill their dream of meeting their special person, and spending the rest of their life with them. To have the honor of capturing that is a blessing.

We hired Grace for our wedding and were blown away by her professionalism and artistry. Communication was clear from the start, the timeline was organized, and she guided us effortlessly through portraits while still keeping the day relaxed and enjoyable. The final gallery exceeded our expectations — crisp, beautifully composed images with a perfect balance of candid and posed shots. Her attention to detail and ability to capture emotion is exceptional. We would confidently recommend Grace to any couple looking for high‑quality, elegant wedding photography.

Joy Photo and Video was a fantastic choice for our wedding photography and videography needs. They always answered my questions as fast as they could, which put me at ease during the planning process. I loved that I can have access to all the pictures they took, not just the edited ones. The video they put together is amazing - they were able to make it so special in just a few short minutes. The photographer and videographer told us exactly what to do and how to pose, which was so helpful since we didn't know what kind of poses we wanted. The only thing I knew I wanted was some under the veil pictures, and they made sure to get those first. I also loved knowing that if my photographer or videographer were sick that day or something happened, there would be a back-up person there to ensure our day was captured perfectly. Overall, Joy Photo and Video exceeded our expectations and I would highly recommend them to any couple planning their wedding.

Photography has always been a lifelong passion of mine, I picked up my first camera as a gift from my dad when I was 14 years old. Never in a million years would I have thought that my lifelong hobby could eventually become my career. I focused on my future, working my way through college and grad school to achieve my license to practice, but a part of me realized that I wanted to pursue a career that allowed me to go on adventures and meet a lot of new people. So in 2019, I took that risk, changed my hours from full time to part time and put more focus on my photography. I booked my first gig later that year and have never looked back.

Awarded Best of Zola
We can’t say enough great things about Randall! Our journey with him started when he captured our surprise proposal, and from that moment, we knew he was the perfect photographer for us. He also did our engagement photos, and when it came time to choose a wedding photographer, it was an easy decision—it just felt right to have him document another milestone in our lives. Randall is not only incredibly talented, but he also made us feel completely comfortable in front of the camera. His style perfectly captures who we are, and we love how natural and authentic his photos feel. He was also so accommodating, even when we made last-minute changes to our engagement shoot location. We are beyond grateful for the beautiful moments he captured, and we know that when the time comes for future milestones, Randall will be our go-to photographer. Highly recommend!

One of our best wedding planning decisions was hiring Naian Photography for our photos! We worked with the fabulously talented Natalie (noting that Naian Photography is a duo of Natalie and her husband Pedro). From day 1, Natalie was warm, professional, and knowledgeable. Knowing that Natalie would be with us a lot on our big day, we knew we wanted someone who felt like a friend. Natalie absolutely went above and beyond to get to know us, help us craft our photography timeline, and perfect all the details. She was readily available for questions and came to our wedding prepared to capture everything and everyone!
