NIGHTINGALE PHOTOGRAPHY REVIEWS
Christina is just amazing!! We hired her for our wedding and engagement pictures and we could not have made a better choice. Her work is great! We definitively LOVE IT. She does magic with her camera! Even from our initial phone call with her, we could notice her charm, warmness, and energy! We were a little clueless about locations, other than the wedding venue and she came up with great recommendations. The sceneries were great. She is kind, happy, and definitely makes you feel at ease. I am particularly not so fond of PDA but, with her on the camera, it just felt so natural. More importantly, we had SO MUCH FUN during the photo sessions. Now when we look at the pictures, we remember fondly the fun we had at our wedding!
We've worked with a lot of photographers and Christina at Nightingale Photography was amazing! This was our first time working with her and our family photos are my favorites ever! She really brought out the joy, playfulness and love in our family. Her photos are not overly edited as many are now and their natural beauty shines through. She suggested a wonderful location and was fun to work with during the shoot. When my daughters wanted to climb a nearby tree, we turned it into another batch of photos and they turned out so beautifully. We will definitely work with Christina again!
Christina was an absolute joy to work with from our very first interaction. When we first spoke, I felt like I had known her forever! Her warmth and passion radiated even through the phone. She photographed our tiny backyard wedding ceremony, and in a mere 2 hours she was able to masterfully capture all of the genuine beauty and joy of the day. We are absolutely THRILLED with how the photos came out. A friend of ours said "WOW! Who was your photographer?! There's literally not one bad photo! How will you even decide what to frame!?" Truly, our only challenge is deciding which photos to frame!

GABRIEL HARBER PHOTOGRAPHY REVIEWS
Gabriel is an incredible photographer. At first, I had mixed feelings choosing Gabriel as my photographer because he is my brother in law (I wanted him in the wedding as a guest—not working). However, after looking at countless photographers’ work and meeting with them, I couldn’t find anyone who could give my wedding the right natural, “lifestyle” style of photography. One photographer even told me that they leave before the dancing starts! What I really wanted in my photos was to get everyone naturally at the wedding, with a few posed photos (wedding family, wedding party, bride and groom, etc.) Gabriel wrangled our 30+ family members for group photos and even took an incredible group shot of all 90 guests at our wedding! He provided numerous candid photos of my friends and family. One guest even said that the photos Gabriel took were the best of him and his partner that they’d ever had. And to top it all off, he can even provide a Photo Booth!
Due to the pandemic, my husband and I had the pleasure of working with Gabriel for two wedding celebrations. We had both an intimate, backyard wedding in 2021 and a larger celebration in Healdsburg in June of 2022. Prior to working with him, I had been to several weddings he photographed and heard glowing reviews of Gabriel's work. However, working with Gabriel surpassed all expectations, as he displayed an exceptional level of professionalism and artistry.
Gabriel was not only a wonderful photographer, but a great resource in helping us envision and plan out wedding day. He's a delight to work with: knows how to capture unique moments, great at wrangling crowds, and was lightning-quick in getting us our photos.

E&B PHOTOGRAPHY REVIEWS
I can't say enough wonderful things about Chris and Christian! They are fun and easy to work with, incredibly responsive, and reasonably priced for truly excellent quality work. They photographed our wedding, and Christian was upbeat, fun, and easy to work with the entire time. My husband and I aren't the most naturally comfortable around cameras, but Christian put us at ease and had us joking around in no time! We really felt like they customized their approach with us, and let us be silly and ourselves around each other. The photos really reflect this! We're so happy to have beautiful photos that really capture the emotions of our special day.
E&B could not have been easier or more fun to work with (especially while navigating rescheduling our wedding) - from the moment I reached out, to the delivery of our stunning photos. When looking for a photographer for engagement and wedding photos I wanted photos that would look timeless and classy forever and we got just that! Chris and Christian are also the nicest people - even our wedding party kept telling us how much they enjoyed working with them. Their photos capture light and love in the most beautiful way. I couldn't recommend them enough!!
These guys are amazing! Chris & Christian made the whole wedding experience very relaxed and stress free. They are laid back, planful and responsive. We are very happy with their work - our photos are full of color and emotion unlike some of the over processed and filtered work from some of the others in the biz! Hire these guys!
