Keith was our videographer for our wedding. Keith is the consummate, professional wedding videographer in every way. We loved working with him as our wedding videographer from start to finish. In our initial meeting, Keith immediately put us at ease with his relaxed manner and good listening skills, asking us about what we wanted from him as our videographer, how he could best serve us, and listening carefully to our responses.
As our wedding day approached, Keith was accessible to us when we needed to update him on our specific videography wishes relating to our wedding day format and program of events. He was able to accommodate our needs and understand exactly what we wanted from our wedding video.
His 30+ years of experience as a wedding videographer shows in how he conducts himself interpersonally as well as behind the camera. On our wedding day, he did an excellent job of capturing the most important elements and special moments of our big day, using two cameras to make sure he got all of the necessary coverage that we wanted. He brought extra sound equipment to make sure that the audio component of our ceremony was fully captured.
The final product was a superb full length video that captured the essence of our wedding day. After viewing the video, we wanted a few edits to be made and Keith promptly made all of those edits.
We couldn't have asked for a nicer, more professional and competent wedding videographer than Keith. Finally, his prices are totally fair and reasonable. We wholeheartedly recommend Keith if you are looking for a superb, experienced wedding videographer.
Lisa was our photographer for both our engagement pictures and our wedding day. She was very professional and did an excellent job. She made the day really fun and was very stress free.
Keith introduced us to Lisa and coordinated/introduced us to her. Keith was very professional and made us excited for our special day! :) Prices are very reasonable for a wedding and we were really happy with how it all turned out.
Our videos and pictures were wonderful!!
Keith was very professional. He took the time to go over poses and details. He made sure that everything was great. We received our pictures, album, and video in a timely manner. He even made copies of the video for our friends and family who couldn’t make it. We will definitely be hiring him again in the future.
Due to Covid, we had to rearrange wedding plans many times. We wound-up having an intimate backyard affair in September with our parents. But we still wanted to reach out to our friends and family, unable to attend in person. So Keith manned videography while Tami photographed and Eddy livestreamed the entire event. They were fantastic! Very professional, but also warm, relaxed and downright charming - perfect for this giddy bride. All our in-person and online guests loved being able to connect. Thank-you Keith for capturing memories that we will cherish for a lifetime.
Keith at Lynds Photo & Video has been such a pleasure to work with. He was so kind to give us a special offer for photo and video due to my family circumstances (we had a "partial wedding" in November- long story). And even though it was a short time, the team was a delight to work with on the day of. They were patient dealing with my frazzled self, and that was a big plus also. Keith has made it a point to ensure we're satisfied with everything, which I've sincerely appreciated.
This review is long overdue, as my husband and I got married about 6 months ago, but I have to say Keith was the best! He was easy to work and communicate with, and his team is awesome. Lisa was our photographer and Eddie was our videographer. Both were easy-going and made all of our wedding visions come to life! We love our videos, especially the creative edit! Thank you, Lynds photo!
The moment you meet Keith in person, you can really tell that he's a genuine person and loves what he is doing. He's very knowledgeable and informative since day one. Lynds Photography was a suggested vendor from our venue and we really didn't regret hiring them. He is very professional and respects your time. He emails you back right away and answers any questions that you might have and is completely honest. They are a one stop shop because they have everything and that is what I love about them. We hired them for our wedding photography, videography, and we also purchased a photo album from them. We already got our pictures and videos back and the quality is superb. We are still waiting for our photo album but he already sent us the preview and as usual, it was beautiful.
On our wedding day, Keith was doing the videography and our photographer was Adam. Like Keith, Adam was also professional and knowledgeable. He was so easy to work with and made sure that everything is not as complicated as it seems. He's a funny guy yet understandable. He knows how stressed we were on that day and he adjusted himself and made us feel comfortable. Our experience with Lynds Photography was amazing and we highly recommend them. If we are going to get married again, we will for sure hire them over and over.
We discovered fairly late in the planning game how important it was to have a videographer and reached out to Keith to see if he was available. Thanks to his great communication and coordination it was a breeze getting him setup with our day-of coordinator and photographer. It was a pleasure working with Keith throughout the process. He made sure he knew what we wanted and worked seamlessly with our photographer to capture our wedding. There was a quick turnaround after the wedding to receive the video and it was all we could've asked for.
We fell in love with Keith from the moment we walked into his office. He is the perfect balance of personal and professional. He spent some time helping us complete a short questionnaire to get the facts straight, but also spent some time asking questions to get to know us as people and as a couple. In the end, Keith and his team felt like family by the time of the event.
Throughout the process he has been punctual and precise in his work and communications. From beginning to end we have never had to wait on Keith. He was amazing about reaching out to us and keeping in touch when we felt like we had a million things to do. More importantly we found his involvement to be a calm and grounding experience as he covered all the bases and gave us room to communicate our needs. Coupled with his expert advice from years in the field, we felt very well taken care of the entire time.
Speaking of expert care, Cindy the photographer was everything we could ever want. As a person, she was so friendly and fun. She moved our crowds around and directed us in pictures with a smile and great sense of humor. I don’t think either of us have ever had such a pleasant experience taking pictures. And as a photographer she is nothing less than brilliant. Cindy didn’t just take pictures, she captured memories. Her pictures are exactly what our memories feel like and we feel blessed to relive them frame by frame.
The result is a night of memories that we have captured exactly the way we wanted. The pictures are beautiful. The video is perfect. We could not be happier. We’re not ugly by any means but we didn’t know we could look so good either. We truly appreciate Keith and his team and will definitely be working with them again for future events. Hopefully a lifelong partnership will… develop. Thank you Keith, Cindy and team.
We are so happy that we found Lynds! There was a lot of research involved in trying to find a photographer we loved at a price we could afford, and Lynds met the mark. Keith was helpful and friendly in our process to find which photographer best fit our needs, and we landed on Eliot. So happy that we did! Eliot and Dario were great, and based off the sneak peeks we've seen so far, have a great eye for capturing shots. We also hired Keith as a videographer and cannot wait to see the final product! Keith sat down and went thru the timeline process with us to help build out our wedding day and make sure we had time to get all the photos we wanted. He was also there capturing everything but it never once felt intrusive. All 3 of these professionals were able to be where they needed to be to get great footage without being front and center.
Looking forward to the final product so we can keep the memories of this day forever!
Lynds Photography is such an amazing company to work with. When I reached out for a quote, Keith sent me all the info and we set up an appointment to go over everything. He went in such great detail and did a great job communicating through email. I did not actually meet our photographer until the day of the wedding but when I did finally meet Adam he just went above and beyond! I was getting my hair and makeup done and I could hear all of the clicking of him taking photos. He directed people as needed and then took us to take our couple shots. Adam was so professional and we were truly pleased. We even had an upset family member but Adam stayed professional and continued to work extremely hard to get so many amazing photos! Thank you Keith for all the help and Thank you Adam for all your hard work! We would absolutely recommend them for any special event! Truly amazing!
Keith did our video for the wedding and was always easy to work with. He has a very fun and friendly personality and makes the experience very easy and straightforward. Overall a great value for us to use Lynds photography!
Keith was fantastic! We hired his studio for three days of photography and videography on one day. Every member of the team was attentive and friendly. They delivered all images within a month of our wedding date
Keith was very easy to work with during the wedding planning processing. We found it very convenient to meet with him at his studio and were thrilled that he could accommodate us on Saturday mornings. His studio is full of beautiful sample albums and we are looking forward to creating our own album.
Lisa was our photographer and she was also very easy to work with. She had so many creative ideas for everything from the first look to photos at the reception. We were particularly impressed with how quickly we got through the family formals! It allowed us to enjoy our entire cocktail hour.
First of all I would like to thank Keith and his amazing staff for making our wedding a day to never forget. I love how they were so friendly and helpful. Love how they were able to capture all the unforgettable moments and make an amazing album and video for us. Thanks again
As the mother of the bride, I could not be more pleased with how the photos of my daughter's wedding turned out, right down to great shots of our family and our family dog! The photographer, Cindy, was so nice and fun to work with on the day of. And half the time, she captured a great photo and I didn't even know she was there!
We absolutely love Lynds photos! Keith and his crew are so relaxed, fun, and hard working! They made this part of our wedding so easy! He got every picture we wanted. I love all of our wedding photos and am so appreciative! My experience with them was amazing. I recommend this place to my best friend...Not only are they professional and great at what they do...they are great people! Thank you!

Keith and Adam did an amazing job with our photos. I really enjoyed working with them. I talked to Keith a few weeks before my wedding to plan out how the pictures would go on the day of and any specifics of what I wanted, family pictures etc. Adam was our photographer on our wedding day and he was a delight to work with. My husband HATES taking pictures and he said it was one of the most quick and painless experience he’s had! Adam kept us laughing the whole time and made it a fun experience as we took the wedding party pictures. They worked well with the other vendors and made sure to keep everything on schedule. We got a ton of photos, I would have liked to see less duplicates but I’m happy with them. I would have also jumped for the edited video if our budget had allowed. Overall, it’s a great company to hire.
We love our photos! We met with Keith and had several phone calls with him before the wedding to hear out what we had envisioned for our wedding photographs. Barbara was quick and easy to work with. She was organized on the day of the wedding. We love the finished product and plan on ordering an album soon! We will have a hard time choosing our favorites. Overall, they did a great job at commutation and capturing several very romantic photos. Highly recommend!
My Fiancé and I met with Keith at his studio. He let us look at pictures. He was very helpful. He also helped us on a time line on when to do what. I would highly recommend him on any event that you would need photographed or videoed. Thanks again!
He was very nice and professional.
Very professional and also informative. I was recently Best Man in a wedding and He was a pleasure to be around. He was willing to jump in and straighten the guys ties and button lines, and even help pin on everyone's Boutonnieres.
We used Lynds Photography for our backyard summer wedding in 2017 and had a great experience. Barbara was our photographer; she was really friendly and easy to work with. The sneak peak came back quickly as well as all the photographs. We also had them make us an album with our favorite 75 pictures and we love it! We got two copies, just in case. Because we had such a great experience, we hired Lynds Photography again for our maternity photoshoot just over a year later in August 2018. We worked with Barbara again and the photos are amazing. Can't recommend them enough.
Keith’s team was amazing for my wedding. A huge problem I encountered with other vendors is that they NEVER RESPOND!!! But Keith always always always responds to all of my concerns and questions right away. The price is fantastic and my photographer Adam is such a nice guy. His pictures were awesome and he is so fun to around that all of my photos have genuine unforced smiles in them. Highly recommend!
My awesome friends showed me their wedding photos. They were beyond AMAZING!!! Very excellent job & professionalism! Perfect!
Absolutely awesome, captured some great moments! Would recommend!
Friendly and professional. Great to work with. Highly recommend. They did my wedding back in September (2018). They were great to work with and did an amazing job. If you are having a wedding and need a photographer go talk to them. You won't regret it.
Keith and Adam were amazing! They were very professional, easy to work with, on time, and were extremely attentive to my husband and I, not to mention the pictures turned out great! Adam had amazing patience as we wrangled our families for post ceremony pictures, and was much more than a mere photographer. 10/10 would recommend!
Lynds Photography has been fantastic to work with throughout the wedding process. Keith was very available, responsive, and helpful, offering great ideas and guidance as we planned our big day. And our photographer, Cindy, was so patient and sweet and wonderful on our wedding day. Our photos are beautiful and we could not have made a better choice for our photography team!
What an amazing experience we had Lynds Photography! It was an absolute highlight in our wedding planning and day! Keith was extremely attentive and accommodating in helping to meet our budget. He was very professional and enthusiastic, which helped put my wife and I at ease. Keith's customer service and attentiveness was top notch and one of the main reasons we booked with Lynds. Our photos and video package was far better than we could have hoped for. On top of that Keith's staff designed us a terrific looking album, which my in-laws loved so much,that we are ordering them a clone album. My wife and I would highly recommend Lynds Photo without hesitation to any friends or family.
We used Lynds photography for our engagement portrait, and on our wedding day for pictures, video and photo booth. We really enjoyed working with them and highly recommend them. I would also say that what really puts their service over the top, in my opinion, is their availability and friendly service leading up to and after the big events. Not only did we meet with them before, but there were several meetings since the wedding, where they were patient in going over the finishing touches on our video and photo album. A heartfelt thank you to Keith and his entire staff for helping us with our special day and special memories!
Words cannot describe how awestruck we were with Lynds Photography!
From the very beginning, Keith was as excited as we were for our wedding day at the San Francisco Zoo. In fact, he may have made us even more excited with his honest enthusiasm to capture the best day of our lives. He was so easy to work with and made sure to explain all package options, day-of suggestions and handle our long list of photo requests.
On the day of the wedding, Lisa our photographer was a dream. I am honestly not even sure that she ate because every time I looked out she was capturing each and every moment. She was professional, energetic and a positive and calming light on what was supposed to be a stressful day. At one point, my grandma who recently became blind was taking a photo with us and she asked to take a photo with just me and her. Lisa was just in the moment and knew exactly what I wanted without me having to say anything.
We were so impressed with our experience leading up to the wedding that we decided to add a videographer, Eddie, at the last moment. Eddie was also very professional and made sure that we were comfortable with what was being captured throughout the wedding.
Hands-down Lynds Photography was one of the best decisions we made in regards to our wedding. If you want to capture your wedding perfectly, hire them! You will not regret your decision.
Working with Lynds Photography for my wedding day was such a wonderful experience. From the start, they were very clear about the terms and pricing was reasonable as well compared to a lot of other places I contacted in the area. Keith(owner and videographer)is a delight to work with and our video as well as 7 minute highlights clip turned out a lot better than I originally expected. He was able to capture all the raw and beautiful moments with his amazing photographer, Robin, without interfering with any of the days festivities. They gave advise when asked about typical shots that should be captured and saved me from ruining my pics by letting me know they wouldn't turn out great with disco lights throughout the reception. Planning a wedding can be really stressful and vendors can be a headache, but I can say with confidence I am 100% satisfied with their work and they made it such a seamless process from start to end. Thank you!
Lynds photography was a great experience very professional, creative and friendly. The sneak peek photos were beautiful and we are looking foreword to seeing more!
Hopefully saving another brides day being ruined.6 weeks and have yet to receive my full album of photographs, Im writing this based on my terrible experience with this photographer&how bad some of our photographs for sneak peak are. We chose Lynds to do our ceremony&wedding pictures because of the reviews seen (which we were skeptical about) but having a conversations with Keith were confident our wedding pictures would be amazing due to such "incredible photographers used he said, his reassurance and the comfortability we felt by Keith.He assured us the location ohe had just shot and know in and out... well 30 mins before the wedding began I got an abrasive call from the photographer saying exactly"Hi I'm here and I don't know where to go". I couldn't believe he called the bride (when my husband was there)Side note there are only two wedding spots so could he not just have looked? Why call the groom LET ALONE the bride.Basically Keith is a fantastic salesman&advocate for his company. In saying that,wonderful to communicate with&a lovely man,this doesn't help my day being ruined&photographs being less than parr with him sending a photographer who not only wasn't professional but unpleasant to have.
Position the photographer made me do came out awful. He was persistent continuously saying look down, turn my head further etc. getting snappy as I couldn't turn it any further or down, this was the situation with all pictures in fact. Terrible guidance that I wish I had of stood my ground and said no as the photo looks disheveled and unattractive.
Not only are some of the pictures heartbreakingly terrible my day was ruined by a terrible attitude when explaining I didn't like some things he was doing on the day.
Although we paid for a vendor meal of $60 for the 5 hour shift the photographer was on, as my husband and I sat down at our table to look for him to take a picture with our beautiful table setting he was at our horderves table which was for GUESTS making himself a plate, only 45 minutes after being there. Not only could we not have our picture taken at this moment, he was eating our guests food.
We were married in a stunning winery and had pictures taken in only one spot which had a terrible background and mess everywhere in the background because he said the lighting was bad and couldn't take it elsewhere on the lawn. Mind you my father took a picture ofy husband and I where we wanted (that the photographer said no to) and the picture is stunning. Unfortunately again, our only specific photographs where we wanted we didn't get because the photographer explained he knew better and it wouldn't work.
In the background of another beautiful picture with my niece is his photography equipment. I have a special photo ruined with something that should be so obvious to a professional photographer.
I attached that as an example also. Another on the dance floor.. it's black and white.. with a white dance floor? And camera equipment in the background AGAIN.He wasted so much time telling my family to go into "third position" and eye rolled when they didn't know what this was. He also said to our group when standing there after 5 mins of us just waiting "well I'll take the picture when you're all smiling"
My wedding day was imperfect because of our photographer and my memories were captured horribly and I'm embarrassed to look at how awful I look in some based on how he made me stand and position myself,the most unflattering I could imagine.
I had worked with Keith and Lynds Photography a few years ago before we booked them for our wedding and had a good experience so I emailed Keith about pricing for our wedding. Keith gave us a great deal because we wanted a simple package; in our deal, we got five hours of photography coverage (one location), all edited full resolution digital images, an online gallery for one year, and a 24-page "Cobalt" coffee table album. After shopping around, Keith's pricing was a great deal. Barbara was our photographer for the wedding and we loved her! She was easy to work with and took great photos. We were really happy with the photos we received considering we gave Barbara no direction at all for the kinds of photos we wanted (we just didn't know). We just selected our photos and received our wedding album and it's beautiful. We made a duplicate for our mother-in-law and she cried when we gave it to her. All in all, we had a great experience. Good communication, good product, and good pricing. I have already recommended Lynds Photography to others. Check them out!
Our wedding video is PERFECT!! I was very impressed with the talent and effort that was put into our video. Keith Lynds and his team are very professional, had great communication with us through the process, and put together a video that we will cherish for the rest of our lives. Good quality footage, and attention to detail. I highly recommend Lynds videography!
Incredible shots and professionalism by this team. Throughout the entire process their attention to details around the timeline and the venue to get the best shots possible really stood out. They were very open and flexible about everything while also sharing their professional opinions. Overall great experience.
A wonderful day captured in beautiful images! My husband and I couldn't be any happier with our experience with Keith and his team for our wedding celebration in August at The Brazilian Room in Tilden Park. We ended up reaching out to Keith with only a few weeks to spare, but he accommodated us wonderfully. We also just recently settled into the area and did not have a car, but he was kind enough to pick us up from the nearby BART station and bring us to his cozy studio. He worked with us to solidify our vision and set us up with the right time frame etc.
Barbara was our photographer on the day--excited, patient, and creative! We were all a bit of a mess when she first came, but she was calm and kind throughout the process. My husband and I both can be a little stiff when it comes to photos, but she was encouraging and worked with our comfort and strengths. It was also wonderful to have a Spanish speaking photographer (purely coincidence) since we had a few important family members who were more comfortable with the language. She made the day so special~~~~
The moments Barbara captured were authentic and precious. Thanks to Keith and his team for setting it up and editing them into a great collection.
Lynds photography is amazing. Keith and Justin were great. We hired them for our wedding day on 9/02/2017 to be our videographer and set up a photobooth. From our initial consultation with Keith, he was very professional and thorough. He answered emails promptly and was very easy to work with. Their rates are really reasonable and the quality of work is excellent. I would definitely recommend using Lynds Photography,and will be referring others I know to use his services.
We were married 9/17/2017 at Poppy Ridge Golf Course in Livermore, CA. Joe was absolutely wonderful to work with and got some really nice sneak peeks to us within a week. We're confident that we'll love the rest of our photos just as much. Keith was always responsive within two days and Lynds has pricing for every budget without sacrificing quality. This was one of the best decisions we made during wedding planning, highly recommend!
My husband and I got married last 6/25/2017 are beyond thrilled and thankful that we chose "Lynds Photography" to capture our wedding/especial day at Pleasant Hill CA. From the moment we begin our phonemail and email exchanges with Keith to the day of our wedding being capture by keith and Lisa was just amazing and flawless!
Keith is very knowledgable and make us comfortable and was a great guide helping us choose our wedding package. It was very easy to communicate with him whenever we needed him, he was very efficient at responding to our questions and emails. We definitely recommend Lynds Photography to everyone to hire him, price is very affordable the service is great... A+++++++ keep up the great job to all of you.
True professionals and easy to work with! Keith Lynds was a pleasure to work with from start to finish. Our photographer (Adam) and videographer (Miles) were a key part in making our big day extra special.
Lynds did the photography for our wedding at Scott's Garden in Walnut Creek. We had Joe as our photographer and he did an excellent job of getting all the photos we wanted while still allowing us time to go to cocktail hour! The team also did a great job putting together the album we ordered. They were very efficient, responsive, and produced high quality work.
Adam the photographer was professional and creative. He was was great to work with!
After searching around the bay area and interviewing multiple photographers we finally lucked out with Lynds Photo. Keith was incredibly attentive to our wedding details and made sure we were taken care of. The photos turned out amazing and Adam, our photographer was very friendly, outgoing, and very creative. We couldn't have asked for a better photographer! Thanks again Keith.
Lynds Photography goes above and beyond to make their clients needs and wants a reality from their superb customer service to the careful editing process . The staff does a wonderful job in capturing those special moments , and their candid shots are some of my favorites out of all the companies in the area since they truly capture those magical moments that occur outside of planned poses .
Lynds photography did a fantastic job with our wedding this year. Our photographer, Eliot made sure to capture every emotion and moment with skill that was very impressive. He gave us great guidance on posed pictures, but stayed out of our way for candids.
We had a few requests after the event, which the owner Keith was quick and happy to help us with, and delivered exactly what we wanted.
