We are thrilled give a 5 star review to Corinna for her photography services for our wedding. She photographed our engagement photos, welcome event, and wedding day (with a second ...
shooter). Photography was the thing I card about most for our wedding (after selecting the venue). Before our first meeting, Corinna's sample albums made it clear she's a talented photographer, and from our very first zoom meeting, Corinna was clearly organized, warm, and just what we were looking for for our photography services. She created a timeline for photography to optimize lighting (and adjusted day of as needed), seamlessly worked with our planner, and was the easiest vendor for our wedding! Corinna was exceptionally thoughtful and diligent in her planning and logistics and was super responsive to any questions. Our photos turned out AMAZING and she got us our full gallery well ahead of schedule. It was easy and fun to create an album (my husband didn't originally want one but changed his mind once he saw the photos) and to order prints. Corinna is a fantastic person and was also fantastic to work with. Would give her more than 5 stars if I could!!!
Corinna was my favorite of all our wedding vendors. She was communicative, helpful, and a positive force throughout the entire process. From the initial interaction until all the w...
ay through post wedding I literally have zero complaints. I felt like she was one of my close friends, super personable, and happens to be an amazing photographer. Pictures came out light, airy, and *audible gasp* 100% Pinterest worthy. When I’m sad I go through our pics and they make me happier lol. Highly recommend her, you can’t go wrong. 5 stars
Corinna shot our wedding this past April! She is so professional and easy to work with. We were looking for a photographer that fit in our budget but still has the light and airy s...
tyle I like and we are so glad we found Corinna! From the initial consultation to the engagement shoot and the wedding she made us feel so comfortable even though my husband hates taking pictures. She was even able to accommodate our postponed our wedding. The best part was that she got our sneak peaks to us the next day and the full album within weeks! We will definitely be using her for all future photography needs! Seriously, look no further, she's the best!
We could not have imagined a better wedding photography experience than we had with Corinna Rose. We knew right away in our first conversation with Corinna that she was the photogr...
apher for us - she came into our first chat with such positivity and enthusiasm. She had prepared a detailed presentation on what to expect and took time to get to know us. Throughout the planning process, she was always responsive, communicative, and had sent small gifts to us that really went the extra mile and made us feel special. On the day of our wedding, she made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera that posing felt natural and fun. Our guests also commented to us how wonderful Corinna was, clearly picking up on her warmth and professionalism. Corinna went way above beyond expectations and provided us with sneak peak photos soon after our wedding and a high quality gallery of photos ahead of schedule. We cannot recommend Corinna highly enough and look forward to working with her again in the future!
My husband and I got the pleasure to work with Corinna not once but twice. In 2020, we did a small ceremony and this past September we did a big wedding. When searching for a photo...
grapher I had many concerns. Corinna addressed all of our concerns and made us feel like the most important couple in the world. In the end, she produced extremely wonderful and high quality photos. To be honest we were shocked how good we looked. She is very personable, kind, and very passionate about her work. My family and I absolutely adore Corinna. It was such a blessing to have her as our photographer.
From the day we first inquired Corinna’s photography services to the special day (wedding), we knew we picked the photographer of a lifetime. She made us feel comfortable in front ...
of the camera, gave us resources to help plan our special day, and was available whenever we reached out with questions. Her personalized touches made us feel like we had been friends for decades! We met with Corinna back in 2019 in hopes to get married in 2020…..but as many experienced, we were in for a long haul! Corinna worked with us to find a new date and made the entire process as seamless as possible. She is also such a trooper! She hiked with us for our engagement photos while pregnant with her first-born and had even scoped out the location prior to our shoot because it was a new place for her. We had the pleasure of taking secondary “mini shoot” engagement photos with her in the almond blossom orchards of Dixon and experienced the same care/attention. She is incredibly attentive to detail and does everything she can to make you feel the special and important. Her timely and helpful responses throughout our wedding planning process made the photography piece something we never stressed about. On our wedding day, Corinna and her assistant were absolute superstars! They took gorgeous detail/getting ready photos, fun candid moments with our friends and families, and stayed a little later to capture us getting loose on the dance floor! We couldn’t love our photos more!
We would highly recommend Corinna Rose for any wedding (or other special event) because she is a talented photographer who provided us with our edited photographs very quickly and is an all-around genuine human being! We recently recommended our friend to reach out to her, and although she was booked for the same date, she recommended a fellow photographer that she trusted – proving again how thoughtful and amazing she is. Don’t delay and reach out to Corinna today!!
Corinna was a dream to work with! My husband and I were initially intrigued after finding Corinna on Instagram and seeing how beautiful all of her photos were! After meeting her ov...
er Zoom, we loved her positive energy and knew this was the person we wanted to help us capture the most important day of our lives. As soon as I met Corinna for the first time in real life, I felt immediately comfortable and confident with her direction. Even through the nerves of the entire day, she made my husband and I feel comfortable and made the photos fun for us! Not only that, she was incredibly communicative through the whole process- made sure to ask questions about you and your partner to get to know you both- and really took to heart the photos we wanted so that she could capture the day exactly how we wanted. Once our wedding was over, Corinna was incredible at sending us a sneak peek the next day and just made me relive our wedding day emotions all over again! Additionally, we couldn’t have been happier with our gallery which she got back to us even before the allotted time AND with well over the amount of photos we were contracted. Corinna was truly the wedding photographer of our dreams and I would recommend her to everyone (: Thank you so much Corinna!!
Corinna was one of my FAVORITE vendors that I worked with for our wedding. I highly recommend hiring her for your special day- you will not be disappointed.
Finding a photographe...
r for my wedding that fit my vision was one of my top priorities when wedding planning. I love photography and wanted to make sure I picked the right vendor to capture the day.
I first learned of Corinna from one of her fellow photographer peers who wasn't available on our wedding date and referred Corinna as a possible alternative. Once I found her website online, I fell in love with her work and could imagine exactly how our photos would look on our special day (great lighting, romantic, and airy). I then proceeded to contact her and she was quick to schedule a virtual meeting for us to meet (covid times). We instantly connected and I felt like she was a close friend of mine- so easy to talk with and envision our event together. I was so excited to work with her! From our initial consultation to the event itself- Corinna did a great job checking in: sent us a photography book with tips and tricks/what to expect on the day of. She also sent us two vow books - which we used on our big day and a gift card to Starbucks to decompress amiss the stress leading up to the big day.
On the day of- Corinna made sure to capture every special moment in such a natural manner. It seemed effortless! She sent me sneak peak of 10 photos the very next day! What a wonderful surprise! When we got the full gallery a month later, I was so impressed by her work- I had a hard time picking my favorites because everything was SOOOO GOOD! Everyone I've spoken to about my wedding has mentioned how amazing the photos came out and what a wonderful photographer we had. Will definitely reach back out to Corinna for future photography needs- no brainer!
Wow, just wow. Our experience with Corinna was nothing short of amazing. If you are looking for a Bay Area photographer who not only delivers beautiful photos, but is so nice, incr...
edibly sweet, and goes out of her way for you, please look no further!
Right off the bat, I could tell how friendly she was during our initial meetings. This was very important to me because I knew she took beautiful photos, but I also wanted someone who is a joy to be around since your wedding photographer is going to be up close and personal with you the entire day. And so immediately I knew that I had to book her and I made the right decision.
Our engagement shoot was shot at Sutro Baths. My husband and I were nervous because we had never experienced a professional photoshoot before, but Corinna made us feel comfortable and put us at ease. She was so kind and knew exactly how to pose us to make it seem like we were naturals. She even provided a pop up tent for us to change outfits in. Towards the end of our session, I became lightheaded after climbing the many stairs of Sutro Baths and while I was embarrassed that this caused our session to go overtime, she made sure I was ok, offered me snacks, and never rushed me at all. I really appreciated how caring she was. When we got our engagement photos back, we were in awe at how beautiful they came out. This only made us even more excited for our wedding day.
We also were one of those couples whose wedding was affected by the pandemic. Our original date was the weekend that COVID shut everything down, and you can imagine how gutted we were. Not only was Corinna very accommodating in setting a new date for us, but she also unexpectedly sent us a little gift with such a kind message that really lifted our spirits. (She also sent three more surprises during our entire time with her. This woman is too kind!!)
Finally our long awaited wedding arrived and Corinna was everything I knew she was going to be. The day felt so special. Also she made sure that my train was always perfectly fluffed! Our family members were so impressed with her work and commented multiple times how she really is a professional at what she does. To our biggest surprise, she even delivered our sneak peeks the very next day, super ahead of schedule, which were all so stunning! We honestly can't stop looking at the photos and we couldn't be happier!
Now that we've been following Corinna for nearly 2 years now, we've personally witnessed her following grow and we couldn't be anymore happy for her. She deserves all of the success that comes her way. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone who is looking for a photographer. Now we are looking forward to more of life's greatest moments so that we can have the privilege of working with Corinna again in the future.
This review is extremely overdue but my husband and I hired Corinna to be our photographer for our July 2021 wedding. I knew I wanted light and airy photos for our wedding so when ...
I came across Corinna's Instagram, I reached out to her right away. During our initial consultation, she was so warm and welcoming and we knew we wanted her to be our photographer right away. When we met in person for our engagement session, she was just as amazing and sweet. She provided tips on how to pose and made us feel so comfortable. During the planning process, she sent lovely surprises and provided helpful brochures on how to prepare for our big day.
When our wedding day came, she kept us calm and at ease in front of the camera. Our photos turned out beautiful and I could not have asked for a better photographer to work with. I am extremely grateful to have found Corinna and we cannot wait to work with her to photograph future milestones!
Corinna is an outstanding photographer! I found her through Instagram in 2019. Her style really captures the light and airy feel I wanted for my wedding. When we met in person, she...
was so welcoming and sweet. She was open to answering any questions I had and even had a style guide for how to dress for engagement shoots.
During our engagement shoot, Corinna’s amazingly positive energy made my now-husband and I very comfortable in front of the camera, which is not an easy feat. If you need a hype-woman, Corinna is your gal!
Even with the pandemic postponing many weddings, including ours, Corinna was so understanding and flexible. My wedding planner even shared that Corinna was the easiest vendor to work with.
Our wedding was a fairytale dream and Corinna captured everything so beautifully. She even gifted us our photos way ahead of schedule!
I am so happy to see her business continue to grow and can’t wait to work with her again! She will definitely be my go-to for capturing life’s next big events!
Working with Corinna and Alyssa was more than I could have ever imagined! Most wedding vendors feel passive: the flowers arrive, the food is plated, etc., but working with Corinna ...
and Alyssa was anything but! From the first call that we had, to the sweet surprise gifts, check-ins, virtual calls, and every thoughtful and timely communication in between, you really feel as though these two care about you and want to ensure that your wedding is personalized just for you! They got to know our family dynamics and wanted to include our family traditions and details that made the photos more “us.”
My husband and I are not very experienced being in front of a camera and after our hour-long engagement session with Alyssa, we felt like pros! She knew just how to coach us in the most positive and fun way, which made the time fly by! We were amazed when Corinna sent us the photos how natural and effortless the “poses” looked. This engagement session really eased our nerves about our wedding day photography as we were able to take the tips and tricks that we had been taught and apply them during our wedding day photos.
When looking for a photographer, my husband had one stipulation, which was that the photographers needed to be kind to all guests and bridal party members, not just the bride. (He has been in many weddings where the photographer was bossy or rude and talked down to the groomsmen). I can’t express how insanely positive and bubbly Corinna and Alyssa are! He was immediately put at ease after meeting them both, knowing that their energy would be an amazing addition to our wedding guests.
Lastly, I want to mention how above and beyond Corinna’s photography services went. Before I hired a wedding coordinator, she offered to help recommend other vendors that she has enjoyed working with throughout her career. She assisted with creating our timeline and provided countless helpful tips including helping me choose which dress to wear for the engagement shoot. She checked in often with encouraging words as she knew just as well as we did how disheartening planning a wedding during a pandemic can be. And she went above and beyond what was promised, sending us our photos earlier than expected with way more images than expected. I truly can’t recommend Corinna and Alyssa enough!
My mom summed up Corinna perfectly "Corinna is worth her weight in gold." Corinna was great to work with from start to finish. She provided us engagement and wedding photos way ahe...
ad of schedule. Not only that, the quality of the photos were amazing with a modern style.
During the entire process, she checked in on us frequently. She was professional and patient during our wedding, and never made us feel rushed. We will definitely be using Corinna's services in the future.
My fiance and I booked our engagement session with Corinna recently. Booking our initial consult through her booking service was super easy and we felt connected to Corinna instant...
ly during our consult phone call. After deciding to set a date for our engagement session, Corinna gave amazing recommendations on locations, styling, etc. She has amazing communication and was always responsive. She also gave great instructions on how to locate her on the day of the shoot since we would have no phone service on location. My fiance and I are quite awkward when it comes to photos but Corinna made us feel so comfortable. We had so much fun during our session and absolutely LOVED the final photos. If you are thinking about booking a session with Corinna, BOOK IT NOW because you will NOT regret it. She is so kind-hearted and truly invested in her clients. We can't wait to book future sessions with her!
Corinna is the BEST in the business! From the first consultation we had with Corinna, she made us feel so connected to her. Corinna was very kind and accommodating helping us to n...
avigate planning a wedding during a pandemic. I always felt I was in good hands with her responsiveness and personal touches throughout the engagement.
And that’s not all! Fast forward to our actual wedding day and wow!! Where do I begin!? From holding my dress as I walk down the stairs, pulling out a tissue from her fanny pack the second I needed it, blending and blotting my makeup to get me back to being photo ready, adjusting every stray hair and even picking out whatever the wind flew into my lip gloss! Corinna was my right hand woman and I can’t imagine having any other photographer by my side.
Through this process we learned how important it is to have a “dream team” of vendors and Corinna was definitely that partner for us!! We will choose her again and again, and we hope to continue to work with Corinna in the coming years!
My husband and I were so lucky to come across & book Corinna Rose when we began planning our wedding in 2019. First and foremost, Corinna is an extremely TALENTED photographer who ...
knows how to make everyone feel comfortable in front of her camera while capturing BEAUTIFUL photos. Our engagement shoot was our first time having photos taken professionally and she made us feel so comfortable and helped us pose the entire time.
On top of that, she is very, very kind and felt like a good friend through out the entire process. We had to postpone our wedding an entire year due to Covid and she was so helpful and understanding. Corinna captured our wedding day perfectly and we couldn’t of imagined a better photographer. I even overheard a family member telling her how incredible she is at her job while she quickly took our family formals. She kept everyone organized and made sure all of the photos we wanted to have were done. She is extremely efficient. When we were running behind on schedule (nothing to do w/ her) she reminded me it’s totally fine, to not stress, and things will end up perfect. Well, she was right! We can not say enough good things about Corinna... don’t hesitate to book her!
Looking for a photographer with creative vision and absolutely fantastic to work with Corinna Rose is your go-to person. She made me feel so comfortable during our COVID-safe enga...
gement shoot in San Francisco Botanical Garden. She knew to best places to get “that airy light” I was looking for and pose suggestions, which honestly were so crucial for my fiancé and I look happy, natural, and very much in love. We have pictures of the ring, hugs, a kiss, a dip, and many twirls to show off my dress. Corinna Rose gave me the previews and final photo weeks before our agreed time, with triple the number of photos I was expecting. I’ve received so many compliments from friends, family and co-workers on our photos. I would definitely hire her again! Thank you Corinna Rose for capturing this special season in our lives. These are definitely keepsake photos!!
Corinna was absolutely wonderful to work with! From our very first email contact with her, we could feel how warm and caring she is. She took the time to personally call us to get ...
to know us, and was very thorough with all of her follow up emails and messages. I was nervous because I didn't have any experience modeling or posing professionally, but Corinna made us feel so at ease and guided us throughout the entire process. She really was our biggest hype woman the whole time, and she felt like a friend. As if that wasn't enough, she returned our photos SO quickly, and they are absolutely beautiful! We are so glad that we decided to use Corinna's photography services, and you will be too!
Corinna did an amazing job with our engagement photoshoot, and I would hire her again in a heartbeat! To start, she is extremely responsive, professional and helpful. She made sure...
to reach out with reminders, suggest tips on what to wear, and was super quick to respond to all my questions. On the day of the shoot, she was excellent at guiding us and getting all the details just right. She was also so patient with us since we had our little puppy running around the beach – Corinna was so good at getting our puppy to even look at the camera! She sent over our sneak peaks way earlier than expected and we are in love with how the pictures turned out. Not only was she a great photographer, but she was a lovely person and was so sweet and thoughtful. I can't wait to hire Corinna again for our City Hall wedding later this year.
My husband and I really could not have chosen a better photographer than Corinna. As a 2020 wedding couple, our hopes in having our wedding ceremony and reception in May 2020 as o...
riginally planned had to be postponed. With the pandemic going on, Corinna was so gracious to postpone with us our wedding plans multiple times until we finally decided to have an intimate wedding ceremony and dinner with just 5 weeks notice. Corinna was always very responsive throughout the process, and was so helpful in every way possible. On top of her bubbly and positive personality, she personally met up with us when we first inquired with her, offered a local engagement shoot even though we already had one in Disneyland prior to us booking her (which we of course took the opportunity!), and even sent us little gifts and cards through mail and even on our actual wedding day to amp us up for our wedding but also help to remind us to enjoy the planning process. Seriously, all the things she did for us, big and small, did not go unnoticed.
Corinna provided us sneak peeks of our wedding day the day RIGHT AFTER our wedding, and on top of that finished our whole gallery in just two weeks, which was in time for us to share them with our loved ones for Thanksgiving!
We are so happy to be able to relive our wedding moments - from getting ready in the morning and all day throughout to our first toast as a married couple. There is SO much Corinna captured at our intimate wedding and dinner that we didn't even realize she took, what a nice surprise! The only hard part she gave us was to decide which photos we want framed and hung on our walls. There are just too many favorites, she surely made it difficult to choose - but we can't complain!
Everything that Corinna has done for us throughout planning, both before and during the pandemic, has made our planning process easier and we honestly and truly thank her. There are so many compliments we receive from our family and friends who we've shared photos with and our blog she wrote about our intimate wedding (which was SO nice of her to write and create by the way). As far as I know, most photographers just post pictures of their couples. Corinna's blog with her commentary of our special day AND more sneak peek photos was such a nice touch to see. Her work ethic, kindness, passion for her photography, and how much she cares for her couples has assured us again and again that we made the best choice in choosing the perfect photographer. Not all couples get that special treatment, and all the extra effort she puts into making these personal connections with her couples definitely don't go unnoticed.
We had to be sure that whichever date we chose to postpone, both for our intimate wedding and our big reception, that Corinna would be there. Another photographer wouldn't be something we'd settle with. We are so excited to work with Corinna again and have her photograph our big reception next year... and we honestly have no doubt in asking her to be our milestone / family photographer from now on! We hope she says yes!
Corinna is not only an amazing photographer, but also a gem of a human! We hired Corinna as our Wedding photographer, and she beyond exceeded our expectations. My husband (who typi...
cally doesn't love getting photos taken) and I joked that we need to hire her to follow-us around everywhere as our "Hype-Man", because she's so darn positive! This translates perfectly into her work as she's so charismatic and encouraging, that you can't help but end up with genuine smiles in your photos! Our wedding was also during COVID and we had many precautions in place, and while this could have presented a challenge in terms of those logistics overshadowing the romance, Corinna excelled at finding the beauty in every moment of the day and took beautiful detailed photos. We'll definitely be using her again, and you should too!
We had only 3 weeks to find a photographer for our elopement (due to Covid). I contacted more than a handful of photographers. Almost all responded very quickly with their quotes (...
obv bc everyone wants business), Corinna was the only one not only responded, but also requested a Zoom meeting with me. From then on, I knew she is professional, willing to take the time and care in understanding her clients' needs.
In the initial meeting, she was prepared and asked all the questions I did not think of. We decided to go with Corinna because I knew she was organized, professional and personable. During the process from signing contracts to finalizing the day of agenda, she was very responsive and detailed every step of the way.Â
On the day of the wedding, she arrived 30 minutes early (which I was impressed with) and stuck around a little longer to make sure we got all the shots we wanted. She was organized throughout the entire flow of the shoots. She knew the exact moments and object details to be captured. The photos turned out more than amazing. With a few days after the ceremony, she was still very much in contact with us by providing previews and blog posts to keep us engaged and continued to celebrate with us. And eventually she delivered the entire album (with more photos than anticipated) way earlier than the original agreed delivery date.Â
Corinna's enthusiasm, professionalism and artistic eyes really made our elopement day even more perfect. I would recommend her to all my friends and whoever is reading this review. Thank you Corinna!
People thought I was crazy for vetting out my photographers so meticulously from phone interviews to in-person consults when searching for our Wedding Photographer, but, the moment...
I met Corinna I knew she would be the one to flawlessly capture our wedding day --AND SHE DELIVERED. Corinna's warmth and gentle tone not only made us feel relaxed when shooting but, she truly provided us the support we needed during the uncertain moments on what our wedding would look like due to COVID restrictions. My husband and I got married September this year and she made sure that the day would remain as beautiful as planned. We shot our engagement pictures with her which have come to be printed and framed all over our new home. If you are looking for a photographer, who is willing to be adventurous and open to any ideas while even offering better suggestions, she is the one. Not only is the talent there, but her heart is there. That is something that we will always value because it's her true care for her clients that makes her a true stand out. Her dedication is so real- that she somehow managed to return our wedding photo gallery 10 days after the wedding!!! SHE IS UNREAL. We will not only recommend her to all our friends + family, but are looking forward to finding another reason to shoot with her. :-)
I didn't work with Corinna for a wedding but I wouldn't hesitate booking her given my experience with her for another photoshoot. She is professional, prompt, responsive, and reall...
y knows what she is doing. She takes really beautiful photos and we are so happy with them.
A friend referred me to Corinna and I instantly fell in love with the look of her photos - the light tones and pretty scenic backgrounds. I thought this look would be perfect for m...
y whole maternity experience (announcements, maternity, etc). We did our baby announcement photos and she perfectly captured the look we were going for - incorporating our sweet pup in the photos. Not only is the quality great and her responsiveness top notch, but she's also really fun on the shoot. She made me feel so pretty and good that I really enjoyed the experience - instead of feeling nervous getting photo'd. Oh & then she delivered the photos way ahead of schedule which is always a fun surprise! Definitely recommend!
ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!!! Corinna is a must-book photographer for any wedding or special event. She wonderfully captured the beautiful memories of us at our Engagement session and on o...
ur special day. She was one of the most kind and accommodating people we’ve ever worked with. Corinna was so bubbly and energetic which made it easier for us to relax and enjoy our photoshoots. She was very professional and made everything easy for us, even during a pandemic!!!
We sought her services when we were searching for a photographer who could capture a bright and dreamy look to our wedding. Corinna provided an amazing value by covering so much for our Engagement and Wedding days at such a reasonable price range. Once we met her for our Engagement session, Corinna had a cheerful and kind personality which made us love working with her. You could tell how passionate she was in her work and the quick turnaround of her astonishing photos confirmed we had made the correct choice.
She remained in constant contact with us throughout our wedding planning and when the pandemic struck causing us even more difficulty for our wedding day…Corinna already had a plan. She was quick to devise a plan to capture everything we had hoped for on our “new” wedding schedule and remained as accommodating as ever. We had decided to have a “Minimony”/”Microwedding” celebration with only our immediate family members to create a safe environment for all. Corinna and Sarah came prepared to respect the social distancing restrictions, but still allowed us to capture the important moments of our wedding day. We were always asked permission before proceeding with group photos to ensure comfort levels were met. Once again, it attributed to how thoughtful and kind Corinna and her staff were throughout the entire process.
HIGHLY, HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!! Corinna was a true “diamond in the rough” and has provided us with the lasting memories we dreamed of on our wedding day. If you are looking for a wedding or special event photographer, please look up Corinna as you will not be disappointed. We would go back to her again 💯 out of 💯 times if we had the chance…and we will when she will cover our 1-year Anniversary celebration when we (hopefully) celebrate with all of our family & friends in 2021!
I cannot say enough good things about Corinna, both as a talented photographer and a wonderful person! She was great to work with - from our very first conversation all the way to ...
receiving our gallery. The pictures she took of us were absolutely STUNNING, we couldn't believe how well she captured us and how naturally we were posed. We're not models by any means, and we were a bit nervous going into it but she made it so easy and we actually had so much fun during the shoot. She is incredibly talented, and to top it off she's also so very kind. We are already thinking of future occasions to work with her again. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for engagement photos, wedding photos or beyond!
Corinnna’s photos are incredible and I’ll let them speak for themselves. Out of our engagement and wedding photos we are in love with them all...no exaggeration...but let’s discuss...
Corinna and her abilities as a chosen “vendor”.
I don’t think anyone realizes how important choosing good vendors are until stuff goes wrong and boy did things not go as planned for us during our wedding planning. Through our 2 cancelled weddings, 1 reschedule and finally an elopement Corinna was there. She communicated with us, uplifted us and reassured us that everything would be great with the biggest smile on her face. WELL beyond the responsibilities of a photographer but also what sets her apart.
I highly recommend any bride to choose Corinna for your day. She is just simply incredible in her craft and as a person. Definitely the one you want swirling around you on your special day đź’•
Corinna was so kind and sweet to work with! She definitely has an eye for amazing light and captures beautiful photos! We love our engagement photos and can not recommend her enoug...
h! If you’re in the Bay Area, she definitely is your girl! :)
I’ve worked with Corinna three times now over the course of wedding planning: two engagement shoots and the day of the wedding. During our first shoot in Sutro Baths, it turned out...
to be about 40 degrees with windchill, but she managed to take gorgeous photos and braved out the cold with us. Corinna is such a sweetheart, and captures beautiful memories on the happiest day for me, my husband, and our friends and families. Leading up to the wedding was incredibly stressful, as it was right before Santa Clara’s shelter in place. We were in talks with the venue to see if we could move it to another location, and Corinna was flexible with whatever needed to be done. She came half an hour early, and immediately started with taking photos of my family and I getting our hair and makeup done. She had even brought little details for flat-lay photos of the rings, shoes, and other accessories. Corinna did such beautiful work. She’s a total professional, who managed to make everything work on the day of the wedding even with the rain. For our couple’s portraits during what was supposed to be golden hour, we took photos with clear umbrellas that was actually added to the charm of the rain. We even received our wedding photos in less than two weeks, and I can’t stop looking at them. Corinna, thank you so much! We really appreciate all that you did, and I’ll continue to refer my friends to you.
Corinna is a true pro. Her eye for detail is amazing. She’s down to earth, fun and turns around photos fast. I have no issue in giving her my highest recommendation for your weddin...
g or engagement photo needs. Thank you Corinna!
Corinna is seriously the best! We were so lucky to have her as our photographer for our engagement photos and wedding day! My husband and I are not comfortable behind a camera at a...
ll, but Corinna made us really comfortable during our engagement shoot. She talked us through all the poses and was very patient with us, as my husband and I joked through the whole thing to make it less awkward on ourselves hah! Then the wedding day! I love how much time and effort she put toward the detail photos (rings, jewelry, etc.). We LOVE those photos. They are so beautiful. She was super patient with the wedding party, as we are a bit over the top and joke around too much. Corinna was very attention to detail about how we should be posed, how my dress should flow and would take a step back then come back in a fix my dress, to make sure the picture would be perfect. I appreciated that a lot.
I'd like to also point out that she is super professional, thoughtful and very organized! I loved that we had a meeting before everything to run down how the wedding day usual goes, she had a nice presentation to go through everything. It was quick and to the point, which really helped my husband and I understand the process. I love the sneak peeks she was able to provide in such a short time frame. I love how we can just download our photos so easily as well! I would highly recommend Corinna to all my family and friends! Thank you again, we love you!
Corinna is the BEST wedding photographer EVER! She is so kind, so fun, and her work is beautiful! She went above and beyond for our engagement shoot and for both our wedding days (...
we had a Hindu and Catholic wedding). She was so communicative, and responsive, and made both the days feel like a breeze. She was also helpful when there were any last minute changes in our wedding agenda and even jumped in to help! You will love the energy she brings, especially because it helped us be comfortable on camera. You should look no further for a photographer because you just stumbled upon an amazing person and professional!
I went through a lot of photographers trying to find the perfect fit for us. And we absolutely made the right choice with Corinna. She was so wonderful to work with. She made every...
thing fun and I still can't get over her turn around time to get you your photos. She cares about details and cares about her clients as she sends along little thoughtful gifts to not only prepare you for your wedding day but to make sure you're keeping calm. We had our engagement photos with her and wedding and we we're so surprised how much fun we had with the engagement shoot, being able to laugh and have fun. She is great at communicating and captures everything you want her to do but also has plenty of suggestions to make sure she's capturing just what you want. She has a great eye for details and has a very romantic look to her work. I was also so surprised with some of the moments she caught, thinking how I didn't even see her anywhere near us, but what an amazing shot! We absolutely recommend her for your special moments! We are so happy we chose her for ours!
We were lucky to have found Corinna as our wedding photographer. She was excellent in every way from the beginning to even after our wedding day. She was super easy to work with ...
and very organized and professional. I was amazed at how fast she was able to get our wedding photos to us. We literally got the great news via email on our honeymoon. If you're looking for a photographer that's will help make your life easier on what to do before, during and after the wedding, Corinna is definitely the person I would recommend!!! You will definitely not regret it because she's that amazing!
We loved working with Corinna! She went above and beyond for our wedding. We did engagement photos with her, and it was a good introduction to her before the wedding. She stayed i...
n touch with us before our wedding, and was super organized. She was super helpful at the wedding, and even helped me get nature out of my dress train, ha! Her photos came out beautiful and she gave us the whole photo package with a quick turn around. We definitely recommend working with Corinna and are so happy with everything she did for us.
Corinna is an amazing photographer and so incredibly sweet. We hired her for our engagement photos as well as our wedding. She was very professional, and we loved our photos! You c...
an count on getting your photos back her from in a crazy fast amount of time. We were very impressed with her turn around time. Her communication throughout the process was exceptional. We always knew what to expect of her and what she expected from us. She even went as far as sending us the cutest vow books, which is going above and beyond for sure. We were so happy with our engagement photos that we booked another shoot with her which included our dogs! I would recommend Corinna to anyone getting married and we are planning on contacting her again when ever we need photos taken.
Working with Corinna for both our engagement shoot and our wedding day was a breeze. She has the best personality and is so extremely kind and caring about every part of the weddin...
g experience. She really goes out of her way to make the experience of how you want it. Corinna makes your day about you! She has something about her that brings out your natural moments in front of the camera. Corinna is extremely responsive and easy to work with. This is the most important quality to look for in wedding planning because there are so many moving parts and (demanding) people. Corinna is very impressive with her product deliveries. Everything was done super fast. I mean, I was so surprised! I hear so many stories of photos not being delivered in a timely manner -- you will not get that with Corinna!
Some tips for the bride:
- if you know it will be windy (engagement or wedding), have at least half your hair up so it stays out of your face
- take the time between shots to perfect your look, I had my MOH fix my dress/hair constantly (it was extremely worth it)
- don't be afraid to slow down during and between shots -- quality over quantity (and let your face rest)
- build in lots of cushion time
- know your angles!!
Where do I even begin! Corinna truly is an exceptional photographer. She will have you feeling not only great but if you're not use to being in front of the camera her direction is...
phenomenal. She shot our engagement photos and our wedding. Our guest could not stop ranting about how considerate she was while taking photos. Aside from her photography skills she blends right in with the party with her friendly personality. Our sneak peeks came in within a day and our wedding photos came along so quickly after. She truly spends her time editing and all of our pictures had the perfect amount of lighting and glowing touches. We have truly gained our go-to photographer for anything!
Corinna was amazing from start to finish! She was a wonderful, gentle communicator who made us feel at ease. She got to know us well ahead of time and showed us what to expect duri...
ng our engagement shoot. The day of the wedding, she was very calm and a wonderful, supportive presence. She had great ideas about posing, lighting, placement and locations. She captured us in a way that looks like "us." She seems to find sunshine even when there isn't any! We have beautiful photos to remember this special time in our lives, and Corinna feels like a friend to us now!
Working with Corinna was one of the best decisions my husband and I made about our wedding. From our very first call, she was so warm and helpful, getting to know us and talking th...
rough our ideas for what we wanted. In the months leading up to the wedding, she was organized and thoughtful, checking in regularly, sending helpful tips and guidance as we started to make our photography plan and schedule, answering all of our many questions, and even sending a few handwritten cards and gifts to help us relax and enjoy the process! Working with her felt so easy and personal.
On the day of the wedding, Corinna was extremely prepared, efficient, and professional. She arrived early to see the venue, had lists of all the photos we wanted, scoped out all the perfect spots to take pictures, and had everything planned out and set up by the time my husband and I arrived with our families. We don’t usually feel very comfortable taking photos, but Corinna immediately put us at ease with poses and angles that we knew would help us look our best and lots of kind words of encouragement. Throughout the event, she was friendly and proactive while still staying in the background somehow, which was an amazing balance – she managed to capture everything important about the day without imposing on it at all. I felt like I could be completely in the moment; no photos felt forced or prioritized over actually enjoying the experience of getting married (which is something I’d been worried about, having seen the exact opposite at many weddings before!).
A week after the wedding, Corinna sent us our photo library and a very sweet blog post while we were on our honeymoon – weeks if not months ahead of schedule. The photos are STUNNING and we are absolutely thrilled with them. They turned out better than we had ever imagined or hoped for. Every single photo is high quality, from the smallest details like our boutonnieres and seating cards to our family portraits and the venue set-up, spanning multiple times of day with different lighting (sunny first look, twilight dinner, nighttime dancing under market lights), in a range of candid to formal formats. The guest portraits are gorgeous and we are so excited to give them as thank-you gifts. The candids perfectly capture the magic and happiness of the event. The photos of the two of us are just as romantic and dreamy as we felt on that day. And we know the family photos will hang in our home and our families’ homes for many years to come. We’ve had the photo library for a few weeks now and can’t stop looking through it again and again, picking new favorites each time. Corinna also anticipated all of my follow-up questions, giving recommendations for printing and photo books before I even had to ask.
In short, the whole experience was just perfect from start to finish. We plan to enthusiastically pass on Corinna’s name to all of our friends and family for their own special events. We had an amazing experience working with her and can't thank her enough for helping us through this process, making us feel so comfortable on the day, and for the absolutely beautiful end results! We can't wait to work with her again for other life events in the future.
We had never done a photo shoot before Corinna, so naturally, we were nervous. However, Corinna made the entire process simple and fun. Not only were her instructions clear, but th...
e whole process of getting ready for the big day was incredibly user-friendly. When the day came, Corinna met us early to make sure we weren’t rushed and stayed late to get the best possible shots she could. She gave us plenty of tips and “warm-up” breaks because it was a super windy and chilly evening. Afterwards, even though the turnaround for preview photos and the entire gallery was supposed to take more than a week, she got us a sneak peek the next day and even finished the entire gallery by the week’s end...and the photos are gorgeous! We could not have asked for a better photography and highly recommend her for any occasion.
I cannot recommend Corinna Rose highly enough and I'm so very grateful we found her, because she was such an integral part of our wedding day. My husband and I just got married at ...
the Mountain Terrace last week and we hired Corinna for both this happy occasion and our engagement photo shoot back in the fall of last year.
Corinna is the most considerate, sweet, kind, genuine, and professional photographer a couple could ask for. I'm just in awe of how she captured the special moments of our wedding -- from our pre-wedding getting ready moments to our "first look" in the redwood trees and from our family formal and bridal party portraits to our candid reactions to heartfelt speeches. Not only did she capture these moments (covering remarkable ground as a solo photographer), she also imbued them somehow with the incredible sense of lightness and magic that we were feeling that day. Thanks to Corinna's heartfelt and down to earth presence (and numerous sweet and thoughtful messages throughout the wedding planning process) we felt 100% comfortable being ourselves around her and felt like she was part of the family, rather than just someone we had hired to do something for us. (Btw Corinna, you totally ARE part of the family now!!!) I don't really know much about the wedding photography business, but I suspect that the level of care and personal investment that Corinna brings to the table is a) rare and b) makes a world of difference in the quality of a couple's wedding experience AND the resulting wedding photos.
Beyond all this, Corinna was readily available and quick to respond to miscellaneous questions, made excellent recommendations to us as we were planning our day, was very clear about what to expect, and turned around photos to us lightning fast after both our engagement and wedding photo shoots. We're delighted and so incredibly grateful to have met and worked with Corinna.
My fiance and I had an amazing experience with Corinna. We are from New Jersey and flew out to California to visit my fiance's sister in Napa. I had found Corinna through Instagram...
and contacted her right away! She was so responsive through the process and even set up a FaceTime video call with me so we could meet before hand. Corinna drove about 2 hours for our photoshoot and am so unbelievably happy with our photos. She made it effortless and had an engagement shoot of a lifetime! Thank you, Corinna! I hope to work together again soon!
I could not be happier with our decision to work with Corinna Rose! She was such a pleasure to work with during all stages of the wedding! Our first video chat (we live out of stat...
e) went very well; I could tell instantly that she would be fun to work with and highly professional. Her email communication was friendly and timely, with just the right amount of reminders. The big day went so great, thanks in a huge part to Corinna! She and her assistant did such a great job capturing the important moments, and did an amazing job with all the formal photos. I was worried that my goofball friends/ family would make for messy pictures, but they ended up looking quite snazzy, even with natural looking smiles – so much better than I expected! I think one of the best things I could say about Corinna was how she handled everything, prep for the wedding and also the mild chaos of the wedding day. She did an excellent job helping us plan for the big day, with lots of useful tips, and she even visited the site to check our photo spots beforehand (and it was quite the journey to the site)! Most importantly, she stayed very calm and helpful when everything inevitably fell out of schedule due to various reasons. I really appreciated that she was so supportive and did nothing to add to the stress of the day. We got a blog post and first look pictures just DAYS after the wedding, which was such a lovely surprise! Our photos were done insanely fast too, well under her promised deadline. I’ll also note that her pricing was the best that I found. I cannot recommend her enough!
We had our engagement session with Corinna last weekend and I am just in awe of the results. She came to our neighborhood to take the photos and showed up early to find the perfect...
spots. I was a little stressed at the beginning and she was so calm and helpful through the whole process. We wanted our pup in the photos (who can get a little jumpy) and Corinna never got frustrated. My fiancé hates taking pictures and even he had the absolute best time! We can only imagine how she is going to make us feel on the day of the wedding and what wonderful moments she is going to capture. Book her for you big day -- you will not regret it!!
Corinna is the sweetest person and a dream to work with! She made our session super fun, which allowed us to fade out distractions among the bustling and popular locations that we ...
chose for our engagement shoot. Her work ethic and diligence are qualities that we appreciate so much! Corinna is amazingly talented and her creative vision for certain shots aligned perfectly with ours. During the session, she constantly checked in to make sure we were comfortable and even asked if we had certain poses in mind! Corinna goes above and beyond (she even fluffed out my dress and held my bag) and we are so glad to be working with her and can’t wait to book her for our wedding photos.
We are so lucky to have met Corinna and have gotten the opportunity to work with her! My husband and I wanted some updated Anniversary photos, and after seeing her beautiful work I...
couldn't think of anyone better to take them for us!
Corinna is so sweet and professional! Being in front of the camera is not something my husband and I do often! She gave great instructions when it came to posing and was very reassuring and comforting with us! Not to mention, she made it so fun that we completely forgot for a moment that we were having our photos taken! Don't hesitate in booking Corinna for your special moments!
Corinna took our engagement pictures at the Sutro Baths and she quickly delivered a fabulous gallery! From the minute we showed up, to the second we were done, Corinna was not onl...
y professional, but also easy to get along with and super fun! She made time fly by and was really good at distracting us from all of the passersby. Corinna effortlessly guided my fiance and I through easy posing and made it feel as natural as possible. My fiance was reluctant to take these pictures, but after we left, he couldn't stop talking about how amazing Corinna was! We look forward to working with her in the future!
Corinna is wonderful! Working with Corinna, you will get more than a set of incredibly beautiful photos, you will get a memorable experience. She is very professional but more impo...
rtantly, she’s fun. Corinna instructed our posing in a way that made getting our pictures taken enjoyable. For most, it is uncomfortable, where do I put my hands, is my smile awkward or fake? Corinna’s ability to seamlessly guide us through the process, removed the stress and instead, made my husband and I feel like we were on a date. We had a great time, it was a wonderful experience and I highly recommend Corinna to anyone!!
