Sonia Savio Photography

, talented, accommodating, and thoughtful. You will not be disappointed, and she is worth every penny. She will work for every shot, including getting on the floor, actually the street, with her elbow in a puddle of water! She is so obviously talented that everyone will comment about how amazing and professional she is.

andling the wedding crowd and relaxed and inviting when shooting more intimate shots. We can't wait to see the photos!

definitely falls into the Really good category. And we’re sure of this because we met with several different photographers, and reviewed about 20 or 30 portfolios before we found Sonia. It’s worth noting that “Really Good” also comes with a higher price tag, but we felt pretty confident in Sonia’s work, and once we did our engagement shoot, we were certain it would be worth every penny! We had our engagement shoot on our sailboat, and Sonia was in her element. Not only did she get some great shots, but we were able to establish a rapport which put us all at ease, which translates into beautiful, relaxed portraits. Our primary goal with the engagement shoot was to have an engagement session without having it feel stiff or stereotyped. We brought the same ideals to the wedding, and while we do have formal posed pictures we also have some great creative shots of guests and details throughout the evening. Everybody at the wedding felt comfortable around Sonia, and as a result the photos captured exactly what we hoped they would: Our guests having a great time! From a technical perspective, Sonia really knows her medium. She was able to capture great shots while moving, with the sun behind her subjects, in the dark, at sunset, indoors, outdoors and everything in between. While working with her, we learned that whenever she says “hmm, interesting” we knew that this meant we would soon see an amazing shot! She has many packages available to choose from in a wide price range

was the best decision we could have made. Sonia was incredibly professional and responsive during the planning process. She met us on location in Oakland for a walk through and also scouted the location on her own. The day of the wedding I was freaking out because the power had gone down at our venue the night before so we were unable to have a rehearsal. Sonia was incredibly calming and supportive, exactly the sort of person you want at your wedding. She arrived early to our hotel room to take the preparation pictures and immediately was a joy to work with. During the ceremony she did a fantastic job working with very challenging light (it was in a planetarium)she was also completely unobtrusive while getting all the shots we had discussed and more. After the ceremony she was wonderful taking the formal portraits and group pictures. She was completely professional and efficient while fun and even finished the group shots ahead of schedule leaving us more time to do a "couples walk" where she took us to the various locations she had scouted beforehand. I cant tell you how spectacular those pictures came out. The look like they came from a magazine or movie. Sonia was great after the wedding as well getting us our pictures very quickly and even making a beautiful slideshow put to music of the highlights free of charge. I cannot recommend her enough!

helped calm the mood when things got hectic. We searched around a lot for a photographer, and feel so lucky we found her because her quality of photos is unbeatable.

ot!) and really gave great customer service. Beyond that- her photos are absolutely gorgeous! She is a true artist. I am a completely satisfied customer!
