Amanda was spectacular for both our wedding and engagement photos! The photos turned out truly incredible, and she was able to put us at ease throughout the entire process (engagement pics, wedding, and leading up to the big day).
Amanda really impressed us with her ability to put us at ease, as we are not really photogenic people (don't post to social media). She worked with us through the process to figure out what we liked and responded to best. Ultimately this translated to amazing photos for the wedding day.
Additionally, we had a large number of pictures we wanted to accomplish on our big day, but Amanda and her team handled it like pros. They came in super prepared, communicated very clearly and worked flawlessly with our large group (we had a wide range of ages, and she did amazing with the young ones too!).
We absolutely recommend Amanda for your wedding. Her professionalism, personality, and artistic vision truly helped make our day special.
Wow! I truly do not know where to begin. Amanda & her team were amazing. I planned a destination san Francisco city hall elopement and had never been to San Francisco and Amanda made everything so easy. We had multiple meetings before the wedding and she was meticulous and detailed with our location shoots and timeline. The day of the wedding very thin went PERFECT! Amanda made sure to make my finance comfortable and she kept giving us funny scenarios while she was taking pictures. She was truly so dedicated and thoughtful the whole day. She not only a photographer, she helped out in many ways the day of the wedding suggestions for the timeline to coordinating our ceremony. A couple weeks later we received all the photos and they were exactly what we wanted and we are in love with the pictures/editing style. My husband and I are obsessed with her and so happy we made the investment.
We recommend Amanda Wei Photography and her entire team - Rachel, Eliza, and additional team members like Esme. We worked with them for 3 different events - our engagement photos, small intimate City Hall ceremony, and actual wedding. They were very attentive in understanding all of our needs and requests, and even though we are generally not photogenic at all, they took the time and care to make us look good and really celebrate what we wanted.
For the engagement photos, we took them in a part of SF that was not the usual engagement photos (e.g., Golden Gate Bridge, Lover's Lane) because we wanted it to feature distinct parts of our lives in SF, and Rachel was very willing to work with us on that, and did a great, great job customizing a plan for our 3-hour engagement photo session.
For our wedding, we made it a real priority to make sure we had lots of group photos and shots of our guests and things like that - and they were very understanding of that, and customized their attention to what we asked for.
We got so many comments from our parents, our guests and friends, that Amanda and team were awesome, fun to be around (kind of like bonus wedding guests!) and Amanda speaks some Chinese so that actually helped a ton.
Regarding price - yes, wedding photos are expensive. But so is the entire ordeal. And when we added up all our costs and tracked against our budget, we found that photography from Amanda Wei Photography was well worth it for all of the photos that we can share with our family and friends, not just of us, but of everyone in our lives we were celebrating with. Amanda and team made them all look good and that's been great feedback from our friends that they've loved how we featured everyone in the wedding, not just us.
Thank you so much to Amanda and team - and we strongly recommend them!!
Amanda was amazing! We booked her for our one-hour SF City Hall wedding. She helped us organize how our day would go. She made us feel comfortable in front of the camera and was great at directing me and my husband on how to pose. She made our family and friends feel included and her vivacious energy added to the whole experience! The photos are exquisite and worth the wait!
I truly can't say enough great things about Amanda and her team! I didn't realize how much of our wedding day we would spend with our photographer and I am so so thankful for Amanda, her talent, energy, organization, and team members to make every detail of our wedding flawlessly documented. We just received a preview of photos and they are stunning! Amanda and her team are so talented, fun, and caring. I recommend them to no end!
Amanda truly went above and beyond to make our wedding day so incredible! She makes her clients feel so comfortable and gives great direction without feeling stiff or awkward. Her kindness and energy are contagious. Truly could not recommend her enough!
Amanda and her team did a fantastic job for my Covid wedding. She was the most helpful vendor I hired, she connected me to my planner, Events by Satra, and recommended many other vendors as well. She also gave me simple tips that were beyond her responsibilities, like where to get the best veil. Amanda and her team were on time, and on top of things throughout the wedding day. I never had to worry about not getting the right photos, because everything we discussed prior to the wedding happened the day of. Hire Amanda, you will not regret it!
I don't think I'll be able to convey just how amazing Amanda truly is, but I'm going to try!! I had actually scheduled a different photographer and then saw her pictures on Pinterest and knew I HAD to have her. I checked her availability that night and she responded the next day. She won me over on her pictures, and everything else about her is icing on the cake!!
I planned my SF City Hall wedding from across the country, so all planning was done either over email or phone calls. Amanda was extremely quick to my inquiry, super friendly and fun on the phone, and extremely accommodating when it came to planning. She really was down for whatever I wanted! One of the best things Amanda brings to the table, is her years of experience. She really acts more as a wedding planner other than her amazing photography with all of the coordinating she does!
The day before the wedding Amanda was the first vendor to reach out to me just to make sure all details were in order. It was extremely relaxing knowing that she was organized and had things that under control. On the day of the wedding, by the time I got to her I was extremely nervous and anxious. Amanda's confidence and calm demeanor helped me more than words can express. She arrived before I did, hid my then-fiance, and had everything ready for my arrival! She got all of the pictures that I had told her I wanted over the phone without me having to remind her, and then some other amazing shots that I had not seen online or thought of myself. She coordinated my family how to stand, she helped me throughout the ceremony of how to stand, when to hold hands, etc. On to the pictures, OMG! They speak for themselves. They look like they're out of a magazine and they're better than anything I could have dreamed of!!
All of the qualities mentioned is enough to make you fall in love with the woman, but she is simply so amazing. My feet started to kill me and she offered alternate shoes, she had a bottle of water ready for us, and made sure she had gotten all of the pictures I wanted. Amanda is so much fun (which is great for pictures), super thoughtful, and incredibly sweet, and just such a rarity in a person. I'm totally forcing her to become a lifelong friend!!
Words cannot express how thankful my husband and I are to have Blueberry Photography photograph our wedding. To this day, we still reminisce about our wedding because of the awesome experience we had with Amanda and her team. The entire day was stress-free because Amanda was on point with everything, starting with the schedule to making sure every shot we wanted was captured. We didn't have a wedding coordinator so Amanda helped facilitate the entire day for us. We absolutely adore Amanda and her team, and our wedding guests loved them too! In fact, all of my wedding guests, including friends, families, and even in-laws kept gushing about Amanda, Jessica and Joey after the wedding. Everyone was impressed by their professionalism and how approachable they were.
Before meeting Amanda, my husband and I fell in love with Amanda's lifestyle photography. We felt an instant connection after meeting her, and immediately hired her. We kept in touch through email before the wedding and met up a couple of weeks before to go over the schedule and shot list. On the day of the wedding, Amanda and her team came early and were ready to get the show running. Every single shot we wanted on the shot list was captured, and all of the photos turned out beautifully. Best of all, we received our photos a month after the wedding and were able to share them with our friends and family on Facebook.
This is a review of Amanda and her team at Blueberry Photography (I thought they were based in Berkeley but the listing says SF...)
I had a wonderful experiences working with Amanda at Blueberry Photography for my wedding in May. I was the maid of honor in a wedding she'd done a few years ago and so when it came time for me to pick a photographer, the choice was easy! Her professionalism and wonderful photos did not disappoint. From our initial consulation until the day of the event, I knew she had everything under control. She has a wonderful team working with her and we're extremely satisfied with the photos we've seen so far (still waiting on most of them but it's only been a few weeks since our wedding). Use Blueberry!
My sister used Amanda for her engagement pictures and I immediately fell in love! She did such a great job and I was able to experience her talent and technique myself when my sister used her again for her wedding. When I got engaged I knew she had to be our photographer as well. Our engagement photos turned out absolutely stunning! Everyone in our wedding party raved about how awesome she was. She is great at pulling the emotion out of you so that it is captured on film and her candid shots are great. If you want photos that are stunning and you will always enjoy, I truly recommend using Blueberry Photography.
The photos that Amanda takes are incredibly amazing and beautiful... the only downfall is that it seems to take FOREVER for her to get photos back to you. We did our engagement session with her and it took us a while to get those photos as well but they came out great.
We have seen a "sneak preview" of our photos on her blog and so far everything looks great. However, we are beyond the 8 - 10 weeks waiting period for all of our photos at this point. We have had friends of ours get married after us and they have their photos. So, it is a little frustrating but the photos are always worth it in the end!
We love Amanda!
You simply can't go wrong with Amanda and Blueberry Photography. Exceptional talent that towers above the rest, beyond-reasonable prices, and the best attitude in the business. They will work with you to exceed your own expectations, and you WILL be blown away by the results. Because you just can't take any chances with *your big day* I can't recommend this vendor highly enough!
