Lynds Photography & Video

apher 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!

regret it.

ceremony pictures, and was much more than a mere photographer. 10/10 would recommend!

eet and wonderful on our wedding day. Our photos are beautiful and we could not have made a better choice for our photography team!

elped 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.

, 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!

m 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.

d 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!

ynds 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.

r 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!

ll cherish for the rest of our lives. Good quality footage, and attention to detail. I highly recommend Lynds videography!

le also sharing their professional opinions. Overall great experience.

h 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.

red 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.

h 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!

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.

great job putting together the album we ordered. They were very efficient, responsive, and produced high quality work.

m, our photographer was very friendly, outgoing, and very creative. We couldn't have asked for a better photographer! Thanks again Keith.

ots 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 .

y 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.

excellent. I'm always referring Lynds Photo to others because I have confidence that they'll be dependable in every way, while still being flexible when adjustments are needed. Keith Lynds is very patient and willing to answer all questions, and I never felt rushed, which is often not the case in the service industry. I'm so impressed with the creative ability of the staff, from the photographers on site, along with the employees who design the albums. It's really fun to see what kind of new techniques and arrangements they use in their images. I've had many friends tell me they could relax during an often stressful and busy time, knowing everything was covered on their special day, since the studio and owner has many years of experience. I highly recommend Lynds Photography-you won't be disappointed!

friendly and our pictures came out beautifully. I have to say we were hesitant about getting the video at first but am so glad we did because we have gotten a lot of laughs from it and have been able to watch a day that really flew by too fast. We had a lot of vendors that we were coordinating with on our wedding date and Lynds was one of our favorites. We worked with Eliot, he is an awesome photographer.

logistics, communication, etc. Adam was our photographer so we were with him a lot "out in the field". Both are incredibly professional and a blast to work with. Adam had me laughing to the point of tears as he wrangled our 26 person bridal party.... the guy has some serious skills. And our photos..... beautiful beyond words. The only downfall is when I had to say goodbye. I certainly hope to work with you both again; maybe on someone else's wedding. Keith Lynds Photography knows their stuff and come highly recommended.

ery creative. Our photographer listened to what we did and didn't want. Along with creative photos we had very beautiful tradional ones too. If we need a photographer in the future we will definitely hire them again.

professional, and helped everyone when it came to taking official photos. The shots went fast enough so that no one got "bored" but he also made sure to get the right shot. My husband does not love taking photos but he felt very comfortable with Adam. Plus we had family speaking 3 languages (English, Japanese and French) at my wedding and it did not seam to have been a problem at all! If you choose them make sure to also add the photobooth! We had it for the early part of the wedding and it was a big success, it made the wedding more fun and people still talk about the "photobooth"! (Everyone did it, from children to older guests, they all had a blast!) Check out their Facebook page to see for yourself! The overall process of booking the photographer was easy too, I meet with Keith twice, a couple of weeks before the wedding he made sure he had all the information needed as far as which shots I wanted (or not!) and Adam was ready on "the day" to take all my shots of choice and more. I can't wait to see my photos, in the meantime I already fell in love with my sneak peaks: http://blog.lyndsphoto.com

my whole wedding. He walked us through various ideas, and listened to everything that we wanted. Keith's crew (Elliot, master photographer) and Joe? (photo booth guy) were so great! I liked Elliot because he was one of those take charge photographers who was not afraid to tell us what to do. Personally we needed that because we had no idea what shots we wanted on the day of. It was like Elliot saw exactly what would look good, and set us up for success. I also appreciate that he didn't overdo it with the pictures. When he felt that he had gotten a good shot, he stopped. We were really lucky to have such an amazing photographer on our wedding day. Joe (I think that is his name) was the master of the photo booth. EVERYONE at our reception were raving about how cool he was and how patient he was with all of my drunk friends in the photo booth. He helped everyone have a good time, and had them smiling and laughing with all the props and poses. The photos were beautiful, and we didn't break the bank. Lynds offers so many options for couples that are looking for beautiful photography on a budget.

other vendors throughout the day so everything went smoothly. We love the photos! THank you!

ng about an engagement portrait and album, but we have time to decide on those. What really sold us was Keith's willingness to work with us and the beautiful samples from recent weddings that we saw.

ut on the big day, but I was nervous about how the photos would turn out. And I must say...Fabulous! With all the thousands of details that go into wedding plans, choosing a photographer was easy--he showed us a range of options and sample albums. Of course I had a million questions--and he answered every one. Clearly professionals.

as very helpful doing things that weren't in his job description. They are definitely the best for the price.

mmend there photography, videography and photo booth services. We are very happy and glad we made the right choice.

th our payment as well. Overall great experience and highly highly recommended

. Their rates are really reasonable and the quality of work is excellent. We shopped around and talked to about 3-4 photographers. Lynds Photo had the best prices and really included a lot of perks in our wedding package. Steve Arnett was the photographer assigned to us and he was very talented. He showed up to the bridal suite while I was getting my hair and makeup done. He did not impose at all and I barely noticed him in our bridal suite. However, when I saw the "pre-wedding" pictures---my family and I were blown away. He got so many lovely shots of me getting ready. He took shots in a very artistic way of my ring, shoes, jewelry, etc. During the family pictures, he was very patient with all the family members and the various poses that needed to be done. He gave suggestions on groupings of family members. He got some amazing pictures of the décor in the room, etc. We had our wedding at a Middle Eastern banquet hall and he really captured the ethnic vibe and colors of the hall. He got some really candid shots of guests arriving and facial expressions during the ceremony. There were a lot of natural shots of guests dancing and socializing, which really added a fun vibe to our group of pictures. The pictures were processed very quickly after our wedding and we were able to pick our favorites for an album. I would highly recommend Lynds Photo for a wedding or special event.

nd a father that hate getting pictures taken of them! We are in love with how our photos turned out! Miles worked out photobooth and was very professional! All guests enjoyed and participated in this fun addition! I would most definitely recommend them to any of my friends in the future!

ng photography easy. He made it really easy for us to outline what we were looking for in terms of photography. I was not worried about our photography the day because I knew the photographer knew what we wanted. Our photographer was Joe. He was nice and professional. He did a really good job the day of. He stayed within our timeline and I don't feel that we missed any photos. He was flexible, in the sense that, if wanted a photo we hadn't thought of, we told him we wanted this to happen and he made it happen. The price was great. Part of our package included a spending credit to use towards something other than our digital copies. We are getting a photo album put together by Lynds and we are really excited to see how it turns out. Lynds was great to work with. I would highly hiring them for them for your wedding. The easiest vendor I worked with for our wedding in terms of planning.

his team. Videography was about $800 for 4 hours, Photobooth was about $600 for 3 hours (2 copies) Photography was about $1500 for 6 hours. We are still waiting to receive our photos & video (takes 4-6 weeks after during this season as they have a lot of weddings) but I know that they will be amazing as we had one of their photographers, Adam take our engagement pictures before. The photobooth was awesome and they helped direct our guests to put one copy in our album/guestbook. We also immediately received the images via FB (next day) so our friends could see them and download copies directly if they wanted. Their pricing is fair and the quality is great!

y friend used Lynds as well and loved them.

had for our wedding was good, but seemed a bit stressed. It was probably because we were running late and we had a lot of pictures to have taken, so I don't blame him. Great pictures so far though!

a promotion for 1 free hour. His prices are reasonable. He made sure to call me to go over things a few times prior to the wedding. My photographer Adam called me the day of the wedding, showed up on time and was awesome with my bridal party. Adam was awesome and showed a lot of personality. Great customer service provided by both Adam and Keith the day of my wedding.

e enough time for photos and family. Steve was our photographer, and he was absolutely amazing. Not being creative in photography, I had no idea what I really wanted. I knew I wanted posed shots and candids, but words like “photojournalism style” or “boudoir style” were foreign to me. After my fiancée and I talked to Keith, Steve was able to hone in on our style and produced amazing and unforgettable shots. He even caught a moment where we were holding hands after lighting the unity candle. I don’t know how he did it, but he was able to capture emotional and touching moments without us ever feeling like we had the paparazzi right behind us. If anything, we took way more photos than we had planned, but we were early in our scheduling! It was perfect!

eat!

absolutely wonderful. Would definitely use Lynds Photography again.

wner is very organized and goes through the entire day with you. He made sure everything was clear and focused on what we wanted the most. Great company to work with. Very good value for what you get. Another big plus is that they give you all of the pictures on a DVD, which not all companies do.

ces are so reasonable that we actually had the budget for both the videography AND photography and 2 albums to boot! My now-husband and I couldn't be happier. Working with Keith (owner and the one who video'd our wedding), Alex (our photographer), and Steve (editor) is like opening Christmas presents! They had sneak peaks on their blog and the online uploads so we can preview the photos even before we got the final version. Steve is a wonderful editor! Our photos are amazingly beautiful! He was so great to speak with on the phone as well when finalized our payment. Alex, our photographer, was fantastic! He was enthusiastic from the start (i.e. our call before the wedding). I let him know that there may be other family members and friends who will want to take photos and he was great with them. He gave them space to do so. Also, we had a list of photos we wanted to take and Alex was soo on the ball, he kept looking at the list and checking in with us to make sure that all the shots we wanted were taken. Aaahhh, Keith! This man is so pleasant and easy to work with. He calls back, he replies to emails, he's prepared during our visits and conversations, he's organized and we can tell he really loves what he does! We soo appreciate that he included testimonials and interviews he asked of our guests when he shot the video. During the wedding, it was so delightful to see Alex and Keith having fun. They weren't just slugging away to get the job done. I'm not sure how other Lynds photographers and videographers are. I hope we didn't just luck out with these two. Their happy, enthusiastic, calm energy just totally brought out our genuine smiles as well as our guests'. If we could give these guys a 6th star, we would. Reasonable prices, fantastic customer service, amazingly artistic photos, great energy -- Lynds Photography is off the hizzle!

ssigned Steve as our photographer for our March 23, 2013 wedding in Santa Clara, CA. When we met Steve for the first time to go over our preliminary schedule, his expertise and prior experience at our venue helped us out tremendously in figuring out our wedding day itinerary. My new husband and I LOVE Steve. He was prompt, professional, calm, and just great to work with on our wedding day. He was open to suggestions, but really, you may want defer to him with certain shots because the guy knows how to spot good locations and backgrounds for wedding pictures. He promised us that we'll receive our pictures on DVDs in 2-3 weeks -- and he and Keith delivered on that promise. FYI, I think each couple receives a "sneak peek" link for their website from Keith, and I LOVE the pictures! I LOVE our DVDs of all of the photos and images Steve took at our wedding -- the pictures are fantastic! If you want top rate and personalized service at a very reasonable price, go with Lynds Photography. They are the best!

to plan the day so that it would run smoothly. The day of the wedding our photographer was AMAZING, Kenny has an amazing eye. He was great at spotting the details, he made sure my hair was exactly as it should be, that if something was distracting from the photo he removed it. He also listened to what we wanted. They also did our video, which I am excited to see. I would HIGHLY recommend Lynds Photo.

essional and accomodating. Any time I called or e-mailed, they either answered immediately or got back to me right away. My husband and I used Steve Arnett as our photographer for both our engagement shoot and wedding. He is a laid back guy, but knows what he's doing! He gave us exactly what we wanted and more. For a professional and reasonably priced photographer, I hands down reccommend Lynds Photography!

ful photos at our wedding. Both are very detail oriented, asked all the right questions, to ensure we were happy with our photos. Turn around time was quick, too! We were able to view our photos online while on our honeymoon less than one week after the wedding. Very reasonable prices, too! I would highly recommend them. If you're still searching for a photographer, look no further!

ndtrack saturated video. It is more of a perfectly edited fly-on-the-wall sneak-peak into our wedding. The service was wonderful. Questions and inquiries were answered promptly. The pay structure was great and the number of meetings were perfect. We cannot wait to get our album! Thank you, Keith and team!

s very helpful and upbeat- arriving before his scheduled time and checking in on any last minute photo requests. After the wedding our very high quality and numerous photos came back quickly and with no problems. I would recommend Lynds Photography to anyone looking for a great value in the Bay Area.

ing, and expertise lends to a wonderful planning experience. He has a great team of photographers and the best pricing I saw in several vendors I contacted. At our wedding the photographer was punctual, professional, well prepared, and friendly. Everyone raved at how awesome she was. 2 weeks after our wedding we received our photo cd's in the mail and have been enjoying them ever since!

see the final pictures, but overall the in-person experience with Lynds' was very positive.

w footage and we got it. Nice guy. I think he could've done a bit better job of capturing the special moments. However, anything is better then nothing.

is very nice and helpful, and the company is very professional overall. Highly recommend!

magically managed to get some really amazing photos of me, as well as of everyone I asked him to [and a lot of candids I didn't! so great!], and was even pretty flexible when we made some requests for poses and stuff. I will say that he did miss one or two photos that we had expected, but that's where Keith's video came in! We were able to fill the tiny gaps with footage from the video -- if you know how to print stills from a video, then it's something I highly recommend. Rewatching the toasts and viewing all the well wishes after was definitely worth the video add-on =) Also, I'd like to say that these guys were professional and very quick to get our photos back to us. I was really blown away by the photos. So beautiful. No regrets. Thanks guys... and sorry this review was so late. =)

tographs to be taken so we knew everything we wanted would happen, were prompt with phone calls, emails, the day of and with creating our album. I was so pleased with their service that my sister is using them for her wedding in 2012. They helped create a beautiful album with the amazing photos Nadine took at our wedding and really made sure we were pleased with the product when we got it. I highly recommend them!!!

d great service. Keith met with us for an hour privately twice to make sure we were happy with everything. They go out of their way to make you feel like you are important. Naomi was our photographer. She was very calming and very creative. Neither my husband nor I like being photographed, but she made the experience simple and fun. She chose shots that reflected our personalities and love for each other. We’re really happy with the way the photos turned out.

ctedly rained on at our outdoor wedding! They were all smiles and got a lot of great pictures. Also, they are extremely affordable, they worked with us to stay within our tight budget.

pictures were absolutely GORGEOUS and our video was awesome!! We couldn't be happier. We got married in Carmel, CA and we asked Keith and Steve if it was possible to get our video overnighted to us for the reception we were having 4 days later back in AZ. To our surprise, we got BOTH our pictures AND video within 2 days!! My husband and I would HIGHLY recommend Lynds Photography! AMAZING WORK and such nice people. Our family and friends can't stop complimenting our pictures and video and we absolutely LOVE our pictures and cannot stop looking at them. Keith and Steve are AMAZING! Thank you both so much for capturing every moment of our amazing day!!

ound and started mentioning I was on a budget, I would get a cold shoulder and brushed off. Fortunately, we found Keith and Steve. When I spoke with Keith for the first time over the phone, he was kind and welcoming (this was after letting him know that we were on a budget) treatment did not change. In fact, Keith was the one who kept on following up and making sure that everything was fine. Keith made sure that it would be a stress-free wedding for us and it was. He was not greedy on payments and in fact he was generous enough to work out some payment plan for us. As far as the wedding pictures and videos, they are amazing!!! I can't believe how clear and detailed they are. Let me tell you guys about Steve (our photographer) HE WAS OUTSTANDING!!!! Even our guests and entourage had so much fun with Steve. He was such a good sport and he was also very patient and he would totally guide us on what to do and how to pose. Even when we added time "inadvertently", Keith and Steve was completely professional enough to handle the situation---and the show went on like it was planned that way. The Tunnel of Love photo shoot was an experience to remember as Steve made it happen for us. Even if we all acted inane out there, Steve was able to pull it off. Our families and friends kept talking about it for weeks. Albeit we totally miss Keith's and Steve's company, we have the beautiful pictures and videos to watch and look at. Having all that said, my husband and I were a bit ambivalent about hiring professional photographers at first. But the minute we spoke with Keith and also met him right after, all those feelings settled. Keith was very solicitous with our needs. Over all, Keith and Steve did and provided an impeccable job!!!

d made sure to have us working with someone who had experience with our venue. We worked with Joe on our wedding day and he took such amazing pictures of our special day. We received all of our beautiful pictures less than 2 weeks after our wedding. When looking for our wedding photographer, we wanted to work with someone who takes incredible pictures, has many years of wedding experience, and would send us all of our images within a few weeks of the wedding. We know too many couples that waited almost a year to get their pictures back. Joe made sure that we got all the important pictures we asked for, took lots of creative shots and kept us on time and on track. He not only document the day, but really did an amazing job telling the story of the day told in still images. I highly recommend working with Lynds Photograph. When I look at the pictures, I really remember every part of our incredible wedding. Thank you so much Keith and Joe!

us know that he wasn't going to be the photographer which caught us by surprise. The photographer wasn't very personal and was a little too formal for our taste. Yet.. the pictures did come out very nicely, just wished we had been able to meet with the photographer ahead of time.

nd clarity just in the questions I e-mailed about his service initially, and that continued as he worked with my fiancee and I to fit our budget while still getting what we wanted. My only recommendation is to meet with your photographer for the actual day (as it was not Keith) beforehand, because although he conveyed all our information very well, I think some time was lost figuring out where in the church/park to set the photos. On the plus side though, as our photographer's booked time was ending, a particularly amusing dance began (we had a dancing-into-the-night reception and hadn't booked her to cover all 8 hours of it) and she stayed to cover it for probably 1/2 hour without a second thought. I appreciated that personal service rather than leaving the second time was up.
