Skyler came highly recommended from a friend who is a professional photographer and we couldn’t have been happier. He was professional, organized, creative, sentimental, the list g...
oes on. He went above and beyond getting to know us on both a personal and professional level. One of our favorite moments from the wedding day was during portraits with Skyler before our cocktail hour. I think he could tell we were holding onto a little wedding day stress. He instructed us to take a photo forehead to forehead with our eyes closed. Despite my husband and I not being used to these types of photos, Skyler turned it into a sort of meditation. He told us to relax our bodies and take this moment to ease our breathing and soak in the beautiful day and the vows we just took. After about 30 seconds, we opened our eyes feeling refreshed and grateful for his calming presence. This also happens to be one of our favorite photos. We will cherish these photos and memories forever - thank you Skyler!
We can't say enough good things about Skyler. You just have to look at a handful of photos to know that he is an amazing photographer who can capture and bring out the essence of t...
he most important moments of your wedding day. He clearly knows his craft and loves what he does. Not only is he incredibly talented, but also he's just a super fun guy who is easy to work with and a joy to be around.
On the logistics end, during the time leading up to the wedding, he took time to chat with us multiple times to get a sense of our vision. He's super easy-going and let us dictate the vibe of the day. On the day of the wedding, he arrived early and prepared along with his 2nd shooter. They worked seamlessly throughout the day and even set up special lights to capture us jumping in the pool. Family and bridal portraits can be awkward to choreograph, but he was able to compose the shots we wanted in a relaxed way. Within a few days after the wedding, Skyler had prepared some highlights of the wedding for us to share. When the full collection was done a few weeks later, we couldn't be happier.
Bottom line, Skyler was one of our and our guest's favorite vendors. Not only is he a great photographer, but also he is a great person. If you are considering him, you should definitely go with him!
As a photographer myself, I knew I needed a professional who I could trust to truly capture this paramount moment without having to second guess if they are up to the task. An expe...
rt to fully capture our wedding with a highly technical skillset, cutting edge equipment and most importantly an artistic eye to bring out the best images for lifelong memories. After all, you can’t do reshoots of your own wedding…
Skyler worked with us in our pre-wedding prep (we had to postpone twice due to the pandemic) of our wedding events and post-wedding photo session/location scouting (we had several locations also fall through). He communicated well and checked in as time got nearer to assure everything was planned.
As soon as he arrived, Skyler went to work mixing with the wedding party and began capturing the moment. He remained on-point so I could completely remain hands-off, which I’m not used to but what I absolutely needed. Throughout the ceremony, he captured stunning images and afterwards took control to stage some fantastic group images for family and wedding party.
The post-wedding bride/groom location photoshoot is where Skyler’s artistic talent was in full display. He was able to work with us, directing our movements to bring our best. Having a portrait photographer who can communicate subtle movements cannot be understated.
He began delivering imagery, a handful of the best wedding images, we could share to announce our nuptials almost immediately. The wedding and bride/groom shoot selections came soon after, with the rest of the imagery and website arriving sooner than expected. We were blown away be the photos as were all our friends and family.
We couldn’t be happier with our choice of Skyler Greene Photography to shoot our wedding. He exceeded my high expectations. I highly recommend .
Skyler‘s photography of our wedding was one of the most fun parts of our wedding day ( other than marrying my best friend. :-) He is warm, easy to be around, blends in when he need...
s to, gives directions when he needs to, and captures the most magical moments you didn’t even realize were happening until you see the photos afterwards! I cannot recommend him enough!
My fiancé and I got engaged mid-pandemic and have decided to wait to tie the knot until it is safe for our loved ones to gather together, which means we'll be having a long engagem...
ent, to say the least. This also means we'll be missing out on some of the more typical celebratory events, like an engagement party, and the things that we are able to do, like engagement photos, are even more significant than they might have been before. It was very important to me that this experience was beyond special, and that the photographer who we hired was able to capture the magic of this time in our lives accurately. Skyler Greene was more than just a photographer. He brought joy and laughter into the experience, all while remaining professional and keeping us comfortable in both our poses and dispositions. Not only that, but his flexibility really went above and beyond. The original date for the shoot was on a Sunday, and as the week progressed and rain appeared in the forecast, I was (understandably) worried that we'd need to postpone the shoot. Skyler, however, let me know that he would be happy to keep the day before open and we could go for whichever day had better weather, or postpone if necessary. We ultimately shot on Saturday, and had a stunning sunset as the cherry on top of our amazing afternoon spent wandering around Golden Gate Park with Skyler. He was realistic with the day's timeline, not overbooking our locations or cutting short any time spent at others. He even helped me style the shoot ahead of time, making himself available for outfit consultation as I shopped for my wardrobe. And finally, the photos that we received from him were so incredibly beautiful - so much better than I could have ever imagined. Thank you, Skyler, for capturing the magic of our engagement!

yler, his service, his ethic, his preparation and finally his work product are spectacular. . We have an art collection curated and created by Skyler on our wedding day!
Get him if you can!
We couldn't have asked for a better experience working with Skyler and his team throughout our engagement and wedding. When the Covid pandemic caused us to changes our plans (sever...
al times), Skyler was flexible, understanding, and active in helping us achieve the vision we had in mind for our engagement & wedding.
Skyler puts a great deal care into his work, even down to researching locations, local weather forecasts, winds, tide tables...you name it. He's a great listener and tailors his approach to what you're looking for, but he's also open and honest in advising you on what will drive the best results on your special day. His professionalism and care definitely comes out in his photography. As a photographer myself, I'm amazed by the quality of his work, artistic style, and the aesthetic he brings out in his photographs. While being a total professional behind the lens, he makes you feel comfortable and was also great at directing traffic with our family & friends during group photos.
Weddings are stressful, and with Skyler you can be confident that you're hiring someone who will put the care and effort into capturing wonderful images and video that you'll enjoy for years to come.
Skyler is a true artist. He's professional, but also warm, kind, and not at all pretentious. He listens and engages, asking deep questions and participating fully in every interact...
ion. He did an amazing job at guiding us through the often awkward process of being the center of the lens. His instruction was creative and artistic, yet felt natural at the same time. He managed a difficult setting—extreme dust, intense heat, and too-bright sun, crowds of people—with grace and ease. His fastidious attention to detail assured that no hair was out of place, no fabric was falling wrong, no chin tilt was at the wrong angle.
When we got to see the pictures after our session, it took my breath away. Skyler not only documented our incredible surroundings, but captured the tenderness, delight and funkiness of our beautiful and unique event.
I encourage anyone who wants elevated, "not your average wedding photos" to hire Skyler as your photographer. You will not regret it!
Skyler is a visionary photographer and is truly an expert at his craft. He helped us feel comfortable in front of the camera — he created space for us to be authentic, and gave dir...
ection to help get the perfect shots. Rather than taking photos, it felt like he was telling our story and documenting our love.
All of our locations were centered around nature in California - Marin (engagement shoot) and Yosemite (wedding). He flawlessly captured the majesty of El Capitan at golden hour, while allowing our love to be the subject. I can't recommend Skyler enough, he was such a joy to work with!
Skyler is a true professional - we're friends, but I'd never seen the professional photographer side of him and I'm so grateful I got the opportunity. Even though he could have tre...
