It has been a a crazy few months with all this COVID stuff, but Matthew was on top of it from the very beginning. Matthew and Jay photographed my wedding on August 2nd and it was p...
erfect! They were so professional and easy to work with. I cant wait to see all the photos they took.
From beginning to end, we loved working with Portraits by the Bay. We first met one of their photographers, Matt, at a bridal event and immediately felt like we had found a company...
we really clicked with. We initially booked them for photography only, but ended up having them do our videographer as well. The Portraits staff was amazingly responsive and answered my hundreds of questions quickly and accurately. They were SO incredibly wonderful the day of. There was a fire down the road from the venue and the WHOLE town was covered in a blanket of smoke, and Plans A and B for photos were both impossible. I didn't know what to do and they figured out somewhere for us to go and the unplanned pictures came out amazing! I'm so glad we worked with Portraits by the Bay :)
We found Portraits by The Bay through our venue and could not have been happier! They were professional and made they day fun and were able to keep things moving. We got our pictur...
es back within 4 days and were blown away by the quality. They were incredible and really captured the whole wedding from start to finish!
We found Portraits by the Bay at a bridal expo and immediately knew they were the team we wanted to work with for our big day! We met with Matthew and Megan and they genuinely care...
d about making sure we would have everything we wanted. Their overall respectfulness and timely manner in answering any questions was a pleasure to work with. On the day of our wedding, Jesse and Matt were amazing! They were so easy to work with and their enthusiasm for capturing great moments was remarkable. We also added a photo booth with the company and us and all of our guests loved every picture taken! We are so pleased to have had them as a part of our wedding!
We started off with doing our engagement photos with Matt which came out fantastic. We then used Portraits for photo and video for the wedding and could not be happier. First of al...
l they were very on top of everything with timing which was very important day of. Second they went out of their way to make sure our day ran very smoothly by making sure they had enough people there to get the end result we wanted which we could not have been more appreciative of. Lastly, we got a first look of our photos already and they are amazing (we got married a week ago), which is INCREDIBLE that you get to look at the pictures so quickly and be able to relive the day. They knew all the right shots to take and the endless amounts of pictures we took paid off! I would highly recommend using Portraits by the Bay for your wedding.
The team at Portraits by the Bay took amazing photos of our daughter's wedding. From start to finish they captured every special moment. Jesse and Matt were the ultimate profession...
als and their excellent photos prove it! We also hired Megan as a day-of wedding consultant. She kept us on track, made sure the venue was perfect AND ran interference so that I could sit back and enjoy the wonderful day. We'd highly recommend Portraits by the Bay for any of your wedding needs!
Jason and team were great! They made my now husband who hates photos comfortable and even when I was being bridezilla they knew exactly how to handle the situation. My pictures cam...
e out beautiful and I can’t wait to work with them to create our album! Thanks for capturing memories of our special day!
Jason and crew are AWESOME! From the first time my fiance and I met them, we hit it off and it felt like we had been friends for ages! They are so easy to work with, hysterical, do...
wn to earth, just great people. Jason and Matt shot our wedding. Jason did most of the bride and bridesmaid shots, while Matt did the groom and the guys. We were laughing nonstop the whole time. He kept things light, easy, and totally comfortable. When we did our first look, it was like they weren't even in the area with us. Everything was so special. At that point my fiance was telling me about how much fun him and the guys had with Matt while he was doing their pictures. I would have have changed anything for the world. They took any and all photos we wanted, even if it seemed crazy! They were the best! I would recommend them 100 times over. I can not wait to see all the pictures they took that day. The few Jason would let me peek at on his camera looked amazing! I know everything will be gorgeous once its finalized!
Thank you again!!
Jason and his team are AMAZING!! From Engagement photos all the way till the wedding day every detail was handled by them with such professionalism and ease. We never had to worry....
We felt so comfortable with Jason and Matt that we were able to just be in the moment and enjoy every second!! You have to choose Portraits by the Bay , it will be one of the best decisions you make for your wedding!

, and of course my wedding day which was 10/13/17. Jesse and Matt were on time and made everyone feel very comfortable and were a lot of fun to be around. I would recommend them to any bride looking for a photographer! Thank you so much!

hotos. I'm so impressed by all the candid shots they caught throughout the night...there are some serious gems! In addition to working with a great team we received our photos just about a week after our wedding, which was far sooner then what I expected. The packages offered are a great value and they were able to customize a one to fit our needs and budget. I couldn't be a happier bride and I look forward to working with them in the future!
Jason and his team were absolutely amazing for our wedding 7/8/17. The pictures are BEAUTIFUL and we are obsessed with the ones from our beach ceremony, they captured every moment...
of our day perfectly. We are so happy we went with Jason. We knew during our first meeting that he was the guy, this is what he does and he's amazing. He and his team were unbelievable, made everyone laugh all day and got the most amazing pictures!!! We didn't do a first look and we still made it to cocktail hour, he knows what he's doing. Thank you thank you thank you!!!
I don't even know where to begin. Jason and his team (Matt and "Uncle" Jesse) were outstanding, OUTstanding. Between the 3 of them, we had every shot imaginable, almost 4,000 phot...
os to go through! Photography is one of the most important aspects of a wedding, if not the most important, and we are so glad we went with Portraits by the Bay! Even our engagement shoot was awesome.
We cannot wait to put together our wedding album and see how that comes out! Amazing I'm sure!
Be sure to check out the beautiful wooden piece they do, that was the selling feature to us, very unique, unlike anything we've seen before.
We will be contacting Jason again when it's time for maternity and family shots.
Thanks so much, Portraits by the Bay!!!

y photography ideas were gorgeous. We could not have been more pleased with how our photos came out. One is more beautiful than the next. Jason, and team, were also amazing with my family the day of the wedding. I have 2 step-sons, ages 5 and 6, and Jason managed to get them smiling throughout the day. They listened to all of my requests, and paid attention to the smallest details, which made for a lifetime of memories. They were truly a pleasure to work with, and I highly recommend them. You will not be disappointed!
Jason provided us with maternity pictures on June 24, 2014. This was our very first professional pictures. Jason made us laugh and feel at ease. The pictures came out great and Jas...
on caught some great unexpected moments. We are using the pictures in our thank you cards to our shower guests. We will be using portraits on the bay for our upcoming family pictures with our new baby. Def. a positive experience.
I am so very happy with my decision to hire Jason and his team to do the photography and videography for my wedding. Jason was recommended to me by my venue and also by a friend w...
ho wished she went with Jason instead of another photographer. Not only did Jason and his team make the picture taking fun (my bridal party loved him) but he also captured all the moments I had wanted and the photos are absolutely stunning!!! His artistic abilities are incredible. Jason's website does not showcase all of his many talents so I would absolutely recommend meeting with him so you are able to see all of his abilities, it is really quite impressive. Not only are his photos beautiful but Jason was also so helpful throughout the process, he helped me with the flow and timing of the day which was a HUGE help! You are getting the full package if you go with Portraits By The Bay, I can promise you they will go out of their way to make your photos beautiful!
Jason and Jesse did a great job photographing the wedding. We really enjoyed how they helped us get the best pictures. If you are looking for great photographers, with great pers...
onalities and skills to match, Portraits By The Bay is for you!
We could never thank Jason enough for all he did to make our wedding as incredible as it was. He is beyond amazing and the photos that he took are unbelievable. We could not have a...
sked for better pictures. He was able to capture the romance, magic and uniqueness of our day in such a way that it takes my breath away each time I look at them.
We made the best choice when hiring Jason for our wedding and would ask him to photograph any other special event we have. Photos of your wedding day are extremely important, at least they were to us, and there is no doubt when it comes to Jason's talent.
Thank you!! We could never say enough positive things about you and our pictures. We fall more in love with them each time we see them.
Always,
Kelly and Scott Atchison

No one else could've captured the moments of our wedding day like Jason and his team did - thanks so much guys!

d every moment of our wedding and gave us pictures beyond our expectations. People look at our pictures and are blown away. He is so easy to work with and listened to exactly what we wanted, while still making sure to give us the best possible outcome. After everything is over and you are left with the memories and pictures, make sure your pictures are a reflection of what your day was. Working with Jason has given us the opportunity to relive our wedding every day through the AMAZING pictures we have!
I wish I could upload a picture to show the pure amazingness of Peter from Portraits by the Bay. His photo-journalistic techniques lead to amazing shots that we will cherish for th...
e rest of our lives. He took over 1,000 pictures during our wedding and I love almost EVERY one of them. He listens to the bride/groom. As a photographer, he was open to my ideas and made sure to get those candid shots that I pointed out. I would hire Peter and Portraits By The Bay again if I had the opportunity!
Also, If you are getting married at the beach be sure to take some sunset shots. The one's Peter took of me and my husband were breathtaking.
Robert really captured great memories of our day. He got our must have photos done & when it came to the reception, he took mostly candids which was great! He captured everyo...
