She was amazing! I knew of her from two previous weddings I attended and she came highly recommended.
During the wedding. Lisa managed to round up my family for group photos (not ...
an easy task with my families). And she took very creative photos that I love. I highly recommend her.
Lisa and I have worked on multiple weddings together over the years, and I always look forward to working with her. She really goes the extra mile for her clients, whether it be co...
ming early to scout out good locations for photos, or helping a bride fix her dress. The rapport she builds with her clients is clearly evident in her images, as her couples are always so relaxed and comfortable around her. I would highly recommend her to any couple.
After months of research and speaking to many photographers , we knew we HAD to book Lisa. She is warm, genuine, and extremely patient. She took the time to get to know my fiancé a...
nd I while other photographers focused on sharing information about their packages and pricing. Lisa answered all of our questions throughout the process and even provided her professional opinion on color schemes that would match well with our location and time of day.
At our photo shoot, Lisa made us feel comfortable despite being nervous in front of the camera. We took our photos on the beach and after months of obsessing over finding the perfect dress and how it would flow in the wind, a wave snuck up on me and completely soaked my dress within the first fifteen minutes. Not only had Lisa already captured what would be our favorite intimate picture, but she also made the rest of our pictures absolutely beautiful. I would have never imagined that our save the dates would have me in a completely soaked dress, but now I can’t imagine it any other way. We are so excited Lisa will be with us to capture our special day and we know that our pictures will be absolute gorgeous even if things don’t go exactly as planned.
Lisa did an AMAZING job photographing our corporate event in Big Sky, Montana. She was extremely professional and the photos came out perfect! I would highly recommend her for al...
l your photography needs.
Lisa was absolutely fantastic! She was prompt in her initial contact and worked with our schedule to set up a meeting to answer questions and discuss the process. Despite our needi...
ng to hold the conversation via skype, Lisa was able to cultivate a feeling of warmth and reassurance as she clarified not only what her services would entail, but also providing insight on how the entire wedding/photography experience may play out. There was never a sense of pressure, and Lisa encouraged us to contact her with any follow up questions, even prior to our procuring of her services. This support and reassurance continued into our engagement shoot, where Lisa was able to bring my fiancé and I out of our shells to capture the love we felt for one another. Lisa effortlessly shifted from a leadership role, directing us and setting up a variety of shots based on our desired outcomes, to a complimentary role, where she allowed my fiancé and I to explore different ideas while providing helpful intuition and encouragement. The engagement shoot had a continuous aura of comfort, mainly due to Lisa’s friendly demeanor and that fact that my fiancé and I never once felt judged for our awkwardness or inexperience with photo shoots. Lisa provided us with a sample of a few of our finished photos in an astonishingly short amount of time, and the rest were sent to us within the expected time frame. The finished photos of our engagement shoot were perfect, better than I could have ever expected; Lisa gave us exactly what we wanted and more! I cannot express enough how excited I am to see what she does at our wedding ceremony and reception, and am extremely happy that we chose her to capture the emotion and experience of the happiest day of our lives.
We love Lisa! Lisa Robinson was the photographer for both of our daughter's weddings. She is organized and punctual for all our meetings and very responsive by e-mail. Both my...
daughters had engagement photos in different settings that fit their personalities. On the day of the wedding she encouraged our children to enjoy their wedding day while she captured their love and joy. Lisa seems to know how to create the perfect looks. I highly recommend Lisa as an outstanding wedding photographer!
Recently, we had Lisa photograph our growing family. We love how she captured the perfect shots of our family.
Lisa Robinson is by far the most talented photo artist I have ever had the pleasure to engage for a special event. Lisa captured every special moment of my daughter's wedding. The ...
gallery of photos were romantic and will be treasured for a lifetime. I had no worries on the day of the wedding as I knew, based upon her responsiveness during the planning stage, that Lisa would come through in a professional manner to memorialize my daughter's wedding.
Lisa is the best photographer I know of. She is very easy to work with, responds to emails/text messages quickly, and captures beautiful pictures. My fiancé and I did a prewedding ...
photoshoot at Carmel Beach in September and the pictures came out so beautiful. Our wedding is in November and I can’t wait for Lisa to capture more memories on our big day! I highly recommend Lisa for anyone looking for an amazing photographer that can deliver above and beyond.

Lisa Robinson works miracles. She captured so many Pinterest worthy photos at so many angles. I felt that every significant moment and sweet gesture was captured by her photos whic...
h amazed me how one person could capture so many moments. She achieves perfect lighting for every shot even with my wedding being completely outdoors which is very challenging for many photographers. She also helps provide suggestions for optimal positioning, gets people to laugh when they look stiff or nervous and gets all the babies to smile and look toward the camera. The care that she puts into her photos really shows.
I am so impressed with her talent, experience and professionalism and we are so happy that we chose her to be part of our special day. We recommend Lisa highly as a photographer.

. I would highly recommend Lisa as your wedding photographer!
Lisa took wonderful photos of our wedding! We would highly recommend her to any couple looking for a great photographer.
Lisa was great ! I am not one to feel very comfortable taking photos but her down to earth personality made it much easier than past photographers! She did our engagement pictures ...
and will be shooting our wedding in a couple weeks ! Would highly recommend her and use her for future photography needs ! Thanks Lisa you’re the best !
Lisa took pictures of our Wedding and they were Awesome Awesome Awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
We hired Lisa to take pictures of our Son's Wedding. All I have to say is that she did a phenomenal job. His pictures were absolutely BEAUTIFUL!!!

en care of. We were nervous and tentative when we arrived at the beach where we were to be married and she took charge in such a kind and professional way. She has an amazing eye and knew just where to photograph us and where the actual ceremony should take place and how to frame it. She did not miss a thing. The photos captured not just the event but the essence and spirit of the most important day of my life. She made us look good! Her photos are original, artistic, and true to who we are and what we dreamt the day would be. Lisa was also great about communicating with us before the wedding. She is clear about her pricing, has a well written contract, and answered all of our questions. Afterward she was prompt about getting us our sample photos and our gallery link and flash drive. She made this whole experience smooth and beautiful. And she's also just a really nice and down to earth person. I cannot recommend her enough!
I photograph weddings with Lisa and love every moment of it! She is always working hard, creating amazing imagery and her longtime experience with weddings is invaluable! I highly ...
recommend Lisa and I personally plan to keep working with her at many more weddings!
I have hired Lisa twice already and will continue to do so! Having her there puts my mind at ease knowing that the moments of the day will be beautifully captured. She is great to ...
work with, and her results are amazing!
My fiancé and I had the opportunity to have Lisa be our photographer for our engagement photos and forthcoming ceremony. She really is stellar. She worked with my kids in our photo...
s and really captured some great moments. To illustrate her level of professionalism and commitment to her craft, all that needs to be said is this: Lisa will lay down on a dirty Downtown San Jose sidewalk to get a beautiful shot. I am greatly looking forward to her being our photographer when we tie the knot.
Lisa is amazing. We did our engagement photos with our 15 year old daughter and 8 year old son. She made them feel so comfortable and relaxed. We did the shoot around downtown SJ ...
and it is amazing how she can see one simple area and turn it into these amazing photos. She uses the landscape around and captures the best shots. Her ability to touch up photos without making them look fake is amazing. Cant wait to use her again in December!
We attended our friend's wedding and Lisa was their photographer. Her photos were outstanding. She was able to capture the mood and special moments throughout the day.
Lisa was great, from our engagement shoot to our wedding day. She allowed us to turn part of our engagement shoot into a family shoot to include our two girls. She was super patien...
t with our kids. She went above and beyond her duties, even getting down on the floor to bustle my wedding dress. Loved our pictures not to mention we received our engagement and wedding pictures quickly.
We loved having Lisa as our photographer! Lisa did both our engagement and wedding photos and both turned out fantastic. She was easy to work with and had so many great ideas for c...
reative shots. There were a few times on the wedding day that I doubted her vision (mostly because it involved a lot of traipsing up rocky areas covered in spiny things in my heels), but when I saw the results I couldn’t believe I ever had doubts! We love all our photos and can’t wait to get prints to put up in our home.
Lisa and Alec are two of the most talented photographers I have ever met. They are easy to work, very creative, flexible, efficient and professional every step of the way. They see...
beyond their photographic lens, they are artistic and the results show on every single moment they capture. We had so much fun working with them in several occasions – they were able to capture our LOVE for each other in every picture. We will always be grateful for those memories. Thank you!
Lisa and Alec are amazing! They were photographers for a wedding of ours in Greece, and I have never seen such breathtaking shots. They have an almost magical way of capturing the ...
moment and I swear they have an almost uncanny way of making sure everyone in the frame is captured in an incredibly flattering way. Choose Lisa and Alec.
Lisa and Alec were absolutely amazing to work with. They are fabulous people and excellent photographers. Some of my favorite captured moments were a result of their magic.
Lisa and Alex are amazing. They are fun to work with and very professional. They captured our wedding beautifully.
I've worked with Lisa on multiple occasions. She is professional, organized, creative and wonderful at what she does - I would highly recommend her to any future bride!
We just had our engagement session with Lisa last weekend and had so much fun! She encouraged our silliness (part of our shoot was at a playground) and had a great sense of humor t...
hat made it feel like we were hanging out with an old friend. Very professional and easy to work with. We can't wait to have her shoot our wedding next year!

e did my sister's wedding 2 years earlier and had a wonderful experience! We didn't think twice about going with her for our wedding day!
Lisa is amazing!!! We absolutely loved our photos and it was a joy to work with her right from the initial phone consultation to the delivery of the digital photo album. Her rates ...
were perfect and she did an excellent job of capturing our 100 person wedding/reception in San Juan Bautista and helped us to be comfortable in front of the camera in our engagement photoshoot. Highly recommended!!
We hired Lisa knowing what we were looking for and knowing that she was the perfect fit for our vision. Lisa exceeded our expectations. Although there were some photos I would have...
loved to capture, but was not able to due to my venue timelines. Doesn't mean she didn't capture a lot of very special moments. She's more than just an amazing photographer... Lisa's prompts were the icing on the cake as many bride's tend forget to drink lot of water, use the restroom, freshen up, and eat. She was there from beginning to end. We definitely recommend her for your upcoming wedding, engagement, and family photo's. You'll appreciate her professionalism and attention to detail!
Lisa was absolutely wonderful. She is organized, responsive and respectful. She captured all of the moments we could have wished for and did it with such grace. A nice blend of tra...
ditional and artistic photos. She shared a few photos the day after the wedding and the entire album one month after. Did I mention how organized she is? Highly recommend Lisa!
Lisa and Alec made our wedding day wonderful and gave us beautiful photos to remember it by. They are amazing at staying out of the way but still capturing every moment. They liste...
ned to our every request and most importantly put both my wife and I at ease during the entire process. My wife is very hesitant to have her photo taken and Lisa is wonderful at giving direction without making you feel stressed or stiff. Everyone is impressed with our photos and I'm proud to show them off.
We were so happy to have Lisa as our photographer. She arrived early and started to capture our happy moments. She is patient, professional and pay attention to detail. I will defi...
nitely have her again in the future for family pictures.
Lisa and Alec are WONDERFUL! They make a great team, not to mention funny! We interviewed a few other photographers, but ultimately decided to go with her. 1) Her work is amazing. ...
She has a talented eye for creativity and beauty. 2) She was very easy going and very easy to work with. She made sure to get the shots I wanted and after that we left everything else up to her. We felt very comfortable with her. 3) She worked with us on pricing and was very affordable. Her work is priceless. People advised me that the photographer you choose is one of the most important decisions you make for your wedding. Even if things don't come out the way you wanted it to, the photographer can make it look spectacular in pictures. They also advised me to pick one that meshes well with us. If you want someone bossy and a dictator, she's not for you. She had just the right balance for us. I've only seen a few of the pictures from the preview but so far everything looks amazing and I already know I will not be disappointed. Thank you Lisa and Alec for your amazing work!!
Going with Lisa and Alec as our wedding photographers was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. After being dismayed at the quality to price ratio of so many other Bay...
Area photographers, I came across her work when browsing through a friend’s wedding pictures. Her work is great and I assumed she would be out of our price range, but tried contacting her. So happy we did! She worked with us to find a package that fit our needs within our budget. And on our wedding day, she and her husband went above and beyond our expectations! They arrived early and scoped out the area for good picture locations. She helped mediate what turned out to be a difficult wedding coordinator, and kept everyone happy and on schedule. The pictures turned out great and she and her husband captured every moment. I am so happy with her work and received a lot of great compliments on the photos. She’s very professional to work with, comes prepared, brings energy, and works around your plan to get some awesome photos.
One thing that you might not pick up from looking through the pictures is that she is absolutely amazing with kids! We had flower girls who were only 2-year-old and 4-year-old, and both are a little shy. The 2-year-old in particular generally doesn’t like strangers. In the pre-wedding shoot, Lisa quickly gained their confidence, and soon even the 2-year-old was cooperating and looking right at the camera. We got some amazing pictures of the little flower girls, and it helped set the stage for them to be confident when walking down the aisle as well! If you have kids in your wedding party, definitely consider choosing Lisa for this reason. And even if you don’t, you should still choose her!
Thanks Lisa and Alec for being some a great wedding photography team and helping capture all the moments for our Pi(e) Day wedding! (And so sorry this review is a few months late.)
We were *so* thrilled with our choice to have Lisa and Alec as our wedding photographers. We first contacted Lisa because her portfolio was filled with people looking relaxed and n...
atural, even in their posed photographs. Her prices were very competitive, particularly because the 6-hour package we opted for included two photographers instead of just one.
Lisa had never worked at our venue before, so she and Alec spent some time there prior to the wedding (at no charge) scouting out beautiful locations in the surrounding park.
Lisa and Alec were *great* to work with day of. They were calm, casual, and very warm. They kept everything moving efficiently without making anyone feel rushed or manhandled. I was dreading the cat-herding aspect of group photographs, but they were so on top of everything that I ended up having a wonderful time. It felt more like spending extra time laughing and celebrating with my family and wedding party than staging photo opportunities.
During the ceremony and reception, Lisa and Alec blended into the party so well that I hardly noticed them taking photographs - and yet they managed to capture all the wonderful moments of the day.
The photographs themselves came out PERFECTLY. They absolutely captured the joy that filled the day. I couldn't recommend Lisa more highly!
We are so happy we chose Lisa Robinson for our wedding pictures. She and her husband are fantastic to work with - she is responsive to emails, very organized, and even followed up ...
with me the week of our wedding to confirm all the details and logistics. She is very reasonably priced - and we felt we were getting a great value for everything she provided.
The day of, she and her husband were a pleasure to work with. You spend a lot of time with your photographer on your wedding day, so this is important. She made sure everyone was where they needed to be for pictures, made us laugh, and not to mention got GREAT pictures that we love. She was not obtrusive or in people's faces during the reception, but still got lots of good candid photos. We're glad they got pictures of our guests as well.
She was so efficient getting our pictures back to us - not only the whole album of pictures, but also posting a preview on Facebook the night of our wedding. It was great to have a preview to show friends and family.
We would hire Lisa for any future family photos. We highly recommend her.
Hiring Lisa was the best decision we made for our wedding. Our photos are gorgeous! We have had many jealous friends that paid triple what we did! Lisa was a dream to work with. ...
She made us so comfortable.
We are so glad that we hired Lisa and her husband for our wedding! They both arrived early to check out the space and set up, and had plenty of ideas about locations and angles for...
pictures. They were also comfortable using our ideas, and I think we found a great balance of getting the shots that my husband and I wanted, while Lisa and her husband made sure that the light and angles were right. Also, the groomsmen had some strange ideas about what the pictures should look like (they bought a bunch of animal masks for us to wear), and Lisa really ran with it! It was great to see them work so well with our, ahem, unique friends.
We haven't gotten all the pictures back (wedding was less than a week ago), but the preview pictures are awesome. Also, they set up a computer with a slide show of some preview pictures during the wedding itself, which was super impressive and appreciated by our guests.
I would wholeheartedly recommend Lisa and her husband to anyone looking for flexible, professional, and beautiful photography!
If you're considering hiring Lisa Robinson as your wedding photographer, go ahead and book her NOW! We are super satisfied with everything from the way she planned everything, comm...
unicated via email and Skype, her ideas for photo themes and sceneries, the price, online picture download service etc. She was super creative and she is a true talent and artist.
The reason we chose Lisa was because when we looked at her portfolio the pictures looked so fun, stunning, warm & fuzzy that we wished we had been to those ceremonies/receptions. Our own wedding gallery turned out better than we could've ever imagined. We're so proud to say that those people in the pictures are us and all of our friends and family are super impressed (it was an elopement). We have made several of them into posters and prints and they look like Hollywood movie posters. :)
You will not regret hiring Lisa as your photographer. Her husband also takes pictures from other angles which makes it even more amazing.
We spent quite a while before the wedding trying to find a decent photographer that was a sensible price. Lisa and Alec had a fantastic portfolio and offered us a fantastic price. ...
They were busy on the date of our wedding but managed to make time to cover our event.
We were impressed that before the wedding they had done research of locations that were close to the venue and perfect for the photos we wanted to take. They had taken ideas from the pintrest we had shared with them and put together ideas for photos before hand. Lisa and Alec then worked as a team to organise our group into the right positions for the photos. We were impressed they they took care of little details like placement of hands or if someone had a set of flowers and others didn't. It is the small details that make the photo look great.
Lisa and Alec went above and beyond on the day. They were attentive and made sure to take every opportunity in the time they were there to take all the photos they could. They were even able to show us some on the day setting up a laptop for the guests to have a look.
Thank you Lisa and Alec, hands down the best service we could have hoped for and then some.
We were referred to Lisa by a good family friend who had used Lisa Robinson Photography for her own wedding two years ago. My now wife and I had decided, at the last minute, to hav...
e a wedding on our anniversary, which meant that we only had one month to plan!
We contacted Lisa to inquire about her availability and package options and were impressed with her from the get go. She responded promptly and clearly to all of our questions and was genuinely excited for us and our wedding. She wasn't available initially, but ended up changing her schedule around just to be able to shoot our big day! She not only went out of her way to make herself available, she also threw in a few wonderful perks for being referrals.
When we met in person to go over details a couple of weeks before the wedding, she was very helpful and encouraging. My wife and I were a little lost when it came to our vision and wedding day plan, but Lisa asked us a lot of questions and made great suggestions that were really helpful to us.
When our big day came, we couldn't have been happier with Lisa's service. She and Alec were already there when my wife and I arrived and jumped into action, snapping away and offering to help us carry our things into the venue. My wife and I thought we would be quite shy in front of the cameras, but Lisa and Alec made us feel comfortable and well taken care of. Lisa would give us little directions here and there, but mostly just let us do our thing while capturing the moments. They were good at sticking to our plan, but were also very flexible. For example, we hadn't planned on doing a "first look" shoot, but the opportunity presented itself and they made it happen. They gave us lots of encouragement and made us feel good to be having our photos taken.
As for the final result, we still have a couple of weeks until our photos are ready. However, she did post a "sneak peak" on her Facebook page, and the images are beautiful. My wife and I couldn't believe that the people in the photos were us! Lisa and Alec really have a talent for capturing candid moments in a magical way. We could not be happier with what we've seen so far and cannot wait to see more!
Lisa and Alec are some of the nicest and easiest people to work with and the quality and value of their work cannot be beat! We are happy to refer them to anyone in need of a professional photography service.
After searching and searching for a photographer that would work within my wedding budget I was lucky enough to happen upon Lisa's page on the knot. Throughout the wedding plannin...
g process she has been incredibly responsive to all of my questions and offers a variety of packages helping to find what worked best for me. The day of the wedding she was truly awesome. She and her husband Alec are an amazing team when it comes to capturing every little detail. I spent hours and hours on wedding projects and I can say that she captured every last one. It was also fantastic to have Alec there to capture some memorable shots of the guys getting ready...truly no moment was left out. Lisa is an experienced professional who knows how to capture the most beautiful shots while making you feel relaxed and stress-free. I appreciated her organization and her ability to work within a tight time frame for my family portraits. I could not have asked for better and both my husband and I just love our wedding gallery. I highly recommend Lisa!!!
My fiance and I hired Lisa to be the photographer for our wedding and she was having a promotion for a free engagement shoot. She had an amazing idea to do our shoot at the SC Boar...
dwalk and it was so much fun! My fiance had to work late the night before so we were running late but she still made sure we got all of the shots. Lisa is fun, professional, and very creative! She even risked her life leaning over the back of her seat on the shaky old ferris wheel to get our favorite shot of the day! We couldn't be happier with our choice of photographer :)
Lisa!!!!!!!!
These photos are absolutely beautiful!!!! You captured the feel of our wedding and I can see the fun we had in every photo. I am so grateful to have met you and yo...
ur husband. You have truly exceeded my expectations and I cannot thank you enough. You were wonderful to work with.
Thank you! Thank you!! Thank you!!!!

My groom and I were lucky to have found Lisa Robinson Photography after going through almost 20 different recommended photographers in the Bay Area. Everything was out of our price...
range. Lisa offered rates that were affordable AND what we wanted - digital edited photos without watermarks. We went with the silk package. She met with us for an hour in person before we made our decision. She and her husband were on time, discreet, professional on the wedding day and surprised us by emailing us a few preview photos on the night of the wedding! Not only were she and her husband a joy to work with on the day of the event, Lisa went out of her way to chat with me personally many times prior to the event. She was considerate, thoughtful and open to ideas. Also, the groom and I are both dancers and she was able to capture the fast moves, spins and dips with no problems. For anyone looking for a photographer in the Bay Area, my new husband and I could not more highly recommend Lisa Robinson Photography.
Lisa and her team are amazing!
They did a phenomenal job covering our large wedding party (~150 guests) and capturing the shots we desired most. In addition, she provided a qui...
ck slideshow that had a number of photos for us to review immediately following our ceremony/reception. I'd highly recommend Lisa and her team for your special day. She was and is amazing!
