Harrison Boyd Photography 

5.0

San Rafael, CA
  • Photographer
  • Classic style
  • Starts at $2,500

I have been professionally capturing images for over 10 years. During that time, I built a successful promotional marketing company in Canada, received my MBA in Ireland, and moved to the San Francisco Bay Area with my wife. My favorite part about photography are the stories that are captured, the frozen moments in time that each picture highlights. Over the course of my career, I have been asked to tell thousands of stories. With the ability to operate in the United States, Canada, and Europe, I’m no stranger to traveling for a good story.

Harrison surpassed our expectations with his close attention to detail, capturing every moment beautifully. We're a slightly awkward couple, but he was professional and made us very comfortable taking our formals after the ceremony. Highly reccommend for those in search of a very talented photographer who is great with people.

Welcome. I’ve been a make-up artist, chocolatier, a barista, a pet-sitter, a bartender but I’ve always been “that girl with the camera.” (I’ve also been, “that girl who sleeps on our couch” or “that girl who’s booty I saw in the newspaper” but I digress…). Currently, I base my photography business in Petaluma, CA. I grew up in Sonoma County but in my early 20’s I picked up and moved to Manitoba and that’s where I stayed for many years. Upon my return to CA in 2013 I turned my passion for photography into a career. It’s been a journey to call photography my profession, but I’ve always been a photographer and I’ve always been an artist.

Laurie Ann Martin and her team are a fun and professional group to work with. She is detailed oriented and cares not only how the pictures turn out but also your experience. My eyelash came off and I wanted to cry at city hall but she not only made me happy but went to Walgreens to get eye glue lash! That is the type of all hats on board she and her team are. When they had down time before the reception, they even offered to help out non-picture wise wherever they could! She also sends little gifts and surprises but I won’t spoil it. There is one BIG surprise she does at the end but I won’t spoil that either lol. She is fortunately not shy about whether she understands whether things are communicated correctly to her, especially when it comes to the albums - I was quite detailed oriented in what I wanted in my albums and how they were designed _. Her and her teams services are of an immense value and my husband and I had ALOT of fun shooting and videoing with them. Also, the video was really great, really a must. Thank you Laurie and your team!

We found Kristen Campbell Photography on Zola and absolutely fell in love! We reached out to Kristen before we even found a wedding planner or chose a date. From the very first interaction, she exceeded our expectations. During our initial consultation, Kristen made us feel so at peace with the decision to hire her to capture our wedding day. She was incredibly transparent about the details and pricing, and the contract process was simple and stress-free! Every vendor we connected with was SO excited when they found out Kristen was capturing our day, and each of them shared how much they loved working with her. Throughout the planning process, Kristen checked in with us regularly, always professional and genuinely excited for our big day. By the time the wedding week arrived, we couldn’t wait to finally meet her in person. Kristen photographed our welcome party and her warm and friendly personality immediately put us at ease. My husband had never taken professional photos before, but she made him feel so confident and guided both of us with clear, easy instructions. She captured our welcome party beautifully and was so gracious and lovely throughout the evening. After that experience, we were even more excited for the wedding day. On our wedding day, Kristen absolutely blew us away. She was timely, organized, and brought so much joy and positivity to the day. Beforehand, she talked through lighting and timing with us, providing recommendations for the best photo locations and schedule. We trusted her completely and were so glad we did—her instincts were spot on! Wedding photos can take time, but Kristen made the process genuinely FUN. Couples' photos, in particular, were one of our favorite parts of the day because of how relaxed and enjoyable she made it. Family and wedding party photos were equally seamless thanks to Kristen’s thorough preparation and attention to detail—she made sure everything was perfectly organized ahead of time. Our family, friends, and wedding party couldn’t stop raving about Kristen. Her positivity and professionalism left such a lasting impression on everyone. She truly brought so much joy to our day, and we are so incredibly grateful for that. While on our honeymoon, we received our sneak peek photos, and WOW—talk about a highlight of the trip! We couldn’t stop looking through them in our hotel room. Kristen delivered so many sneak peeks, and every single one was absolutely stunning. From couples' portraits to candids, family shots, wedding party photos, and intricate details—each image took our breath away. Kristen captured every moment so beautifully, and we’re thrilled with how perfectly she documented the love and joy of our day. The lighting and style of her photography were flawless, but even more than that, we love how genuine each moment feels in her work. Kristen, thank you from the bottom of our hearts. We feel so incredibly lucky to have worked with you, and we will cherish these photos for the rest of our lives. Your work is a priceless gift, and we cannot recommend you highly enough!

Russ is an absolute dream to work with! We discovered Russ by sheer luck and we were immediately blown away by his artistic talent as evidenced by his stunning photos! We as a couple aren't regulars in front of the camera, yet Russ made us feel so relaxed and comfortable throughout our entire engagement shoot. We're pretty silly by nature, and Russ capitalized on our playful personalities which completely shine through in our photos. Russ' ability to set up a shot and provide clear direction made the shoot easy, effortless, and most importantly fun! We still can't thank Russ enough for his flexibility and professionalism in scheduling our shoot. Our initial session was booked during a bout of unhealthy air quality in the Bay Area and Russ granted us the opportunity to make a judgment call on the day of the shoot to determine if we should move forward or postpone. We ultimately postponed and rescheduled for two weeks later, but on a whim we asked Russ if he could accommodate us a week earlier, and he cheerfully squeezed us in! Russ connected with us by phone on a few occasions leading up to our shoot, and he was always very accommodating to adhere to our overall vision. We had two locations that are close in proximity to one another in mind for our shoot, and we're so impressed that Russ managed to capture what appear to be five separate locations that offer such a well-rounded framework. We know we'll cherish these special photographs for a lifetime, and we highly recommend Russ for any and all photography needs!

We were not super comfortable in front of the camera so I was nervous how our photos would turn out, but they created such a relaxed environment, and our photos turned out so beautiful. Really quick editing turn around too, many photographers we scoped out would take 8-12 weeks to turn around all the photos. James and his team delivered nearly 1000 photos to us in just a few weeks. He also came to our rehearsal the night before (completely unprompted!) to scope out the venue ahead of time. Overall a phenomenal experience.

He was extremely kind and our family/ friends and coordinator enjoyed working with him. We had a one hour rain delay on our wedding day and he was extremely understanding and still worked with us to get the best pictures possible.

Stephanie Hopkins is an amazing photographer. Not only do I have the pleasure in working with her at events, I choose her to take my wedding photos! She is professional, fun, and has a great eye! I love her sense of humor and the way she relaxed my fiancé and I during our engagement session. After our session we met up with some friend and my fiancé was raving about how much fun he had during the session, that’s unheard of coming from a guy! I would recommend her to any of my clients for her great service, professionalism and sense of humor!

Allison Louise Designs was an absolute pleasure to work with for our wedding. From the very beginning, their communication was responsive and clear, which made the process of selecting our florals a breeze. The final product was absolutely gorgeous - the bouquets, centerpieces, and ceremony decor exceeded our expectations. Allison took our feedback from the trial run and seamlessly incorporated the changes we wanted, ensuring the florals were perfect for our special day. She is simply lovely to work with, and we cannot recommend Allison Louise Designs highly enough for any couple planning their wedding!

Our skilled DJs are masters at mixing a wide range of genres, ensuring that your guests will be dancing the night away.

The Team at Precise blend were amazing! They were timely, professional and were dressed up in a suit for our wedding. They include a logo of our name with a design they can add to the front of their both. It made our wedding set up look extra put together. They have an easy to use app so you can choose the music you want. You can even add more friends and family on the app so they can add music too. They go above and beyond too. James was able to remove the vocals on a song so that the live singer could use it to sing our first dance song. The most important part, they had the best music going continuously at the right times. The dance floor was full at my wedding the entire time even though the AC stopped working in the hall and it was really hot in there. After my reception, everyone wanted to keep dancing, they didn’t want to stop! The DJ James, made the reception so much fun. My friends and family still talk about how much fun they had at our wedding! I would hire them again in a heartbeat, and will use them for my events in the future!

We can’t say enough positive things about our experience for our wedding with Glenn Ranch. Lori and Mark went completely above and beyond to make sure our special day was all we dreamed of. They were able to offer advice and recommendations with their years of experience. They made sure our day went off without a hitch and that we did not have to worry about a single thing. The ability to have access to the property before and after the wedding really sets this venue apart because it allows set up and clean up with no stress. The day of coordinator, Jenny, was also incredibly easy to work with. She made sure our wedding day ran smoothly, even in the rain. I can’t recommend this venue, and these people, enough! Thank you Lori for the wedding venue of our dreams!

I photograph real people in natural light and gorgeous settings, throughout Sonoma & Napa Wine Country, the Bay Area, and beyond. Using humor, connection, and my calm & warm energy, I work with a wide variety of people from all backgrounds and perspectives (even/ especially camera shy folks!). I gently guide couples through very natural moments together, to capture their individual and collective personalities, in the most beautiful, & honest, way possible.

We loved working with Jessamyn for both our engagement photos and our wedding day. Jessamyn has a great spirit and brought a lot to the table - she is both calm and excited, professional and fun, creative and organized. It felt like an old friend was taking our picture which helped make us more comfortable. Our photos turned out absolutely beautiful. She really captured the energy and beauty of our wedding. I'm having trouble deciding which ones to print because we love them all! We look forward to working with Jessamyn for other milestones down the road - new born baby pictures, family photos, etc. My family loved my wedding photos so much my sister booked Jessamyn for her wedding as well.

Hi there! It’s nice to meet you! I’m a lifestyle portrait and wedding photographer here in Santa Rosa, CA and I simply love all things photography. I would say it’s my one true love but that’s not very nice considering I have an amazing husband and three (soon to be FOUR! woah, I know!) incredible kiddos. I can’t imagine life without them. I'm a lover of life and my passion is capturing the big life moments for people that they look at and think, "I'll never forget this...thanks to this photograph!" Ha! Okay, enough about me. Let’s hang out and take some photos that I know you’ll love forever and ever! XOXO

We are absolutely over the moon with our experience working with Hailey! We first worked with her for our engagement shoot, and she immediately made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera. That same ease and warmth carried through on our wedding day, where she made us feel calm, relaxed, and exactly like ourselves. Her ability to capture candid moments and genuine emotions is truly remarkable. She turned around the sneak peek photos incredibly fast, and they are absolutely gorgeous—we can’t stop looking at them! We’re so excited to see the rest of the photos. If you’re looking for a photographer who combines a calming presence with incredible talent, Hailey is the one to book!

I had a really wonderful experience working with Elyse and Brenna from Hair and the Fox, who did my bridal hair and makeup. Not only are they talented at what they do, but so sweet and fun to work with. Both my mom and mother-in-law got glammed up as well and really enjoyed their time with this dynamic duo. They looked beautiful! I’d like to think I was a pretty easy going bride and kept things simple. But with their years of experience, I believe they would be able to accommodate all sorts of different styles and requests in a desire to make each customer as happy as possible. Thank you for helping to make me feel beautiful on my wedding day!
