In my opinion, besides the bride and groom, the most important person at a wedding is the photographer. So when I started planning my wedding, the first thing I thought of was to find the best photographer possible. After browsing so many photographers’ websites and interviewing many of them in the Bay Area, I hired Tsafrir (Mike) at PhotosTM Bay Area Photography. As an artist myself, I was very impressed with Mike's artistic style. He is not just a wedding/event photographer, he is an artist. Mike is extremely talented as a photographer. I have never been a photogenic person, but under the magic of Mike and his camera, I look good in all the wedding photos that Mike took. Mike is very good at capturing the candid moments as well as coaching his subjects to make interesting and creative poses. You will know what I mean if you check out his photo gallery at his website. If you see his work, you will realize how professional he is and how much he loves his job. He went out of his way to get the best shoots for me and my new husband on our wedding day. He actually stopped a few golfers from playing golf for more than 10 minutes, so that we could get many good shots of the golf course. After the wedding, several of my guests came up to me and told me how impressed they were with Mike’s professionalism. I highly recommend Mike and I know he won’t disappoint you. Oh, by the way, make sure you ask him to do your engagement photos as well. I regret that I didn’t take any engagement photos. It would have been nice to have some engagement photos displayed at the wedding.

My wife and I hired Tsafrir (Mike) for our wedding photography. He not only did a wonderful job of taking great pictures; being professional and responsible through out the event; he also surprised us with a wonderful wedding video. Thank you Mike & Co.

Susan & Bud

This being the second marriage for both of us we planned a small informal wedding but still wanted to find a photographer who would treat our day with the same enthusiasm as a larger event. Tsafrir (Mike) was the perfect choice. His professionalism shows in the photographs and his personality endeared him to each and every one of our guests. Now we have beautiful photographs to go with our memories of the most perfect day.
Thank you Mike.

Rachel & Tyler

One of the most important things when selecting a wedding photographer was finding someone that could capture the emotion of the event. Tsafrir (Mike) worked wonders with his camera and captured the candid shots that we were looking for. Tsafrir (Mike) not only provided a great portfolio of photos but he also provided great service by answering any questions we had in the months before the ceremony.
Thank you very much, Rachel & Tyler.

Rachana & Farzad

Choosing a photographer was scary because pictures are what define the moment when later remembered. It becomes even more complicated when you are combining different cultures in the event. Tsafrir (Mike) however easened all the anxiety and even though he had never done an Indian-Afghan event before, which in itself can be a hurdle because of all the chaos, Mike very comfortably made it a very pleasurable experience for us. The results were amazing without any time being wasted. Thank you for giving us great photos for our memories."

I contacted Tsafrir (Mike) originally because I came across his web site via yahoo yellow pages link. The web site was impressive so I called and he explained everything very well regarding my project. I needed to get some pictures taken for my team of realtors for web and print. The equipment used was top notch and his professionalism and attitude has what made me write this review. He is really cool and has great suggestions and is very easy to work with. His prices are very fair and it has been a great transaction and great experience to work with him. If you are looking for a photographer for any occasion, Mike is the man for the job.
Stay Kool Mike.

I am the mystery girl behind the black scarf. My name is Dore' Daubin. Tsafrir (Mike) spent the whole day shooting pics for my portfolio. We had a great time, and about 800 poses were taken. Tsafrir (Mike) is comfortable to work with, and catches great candid shots too. I took my portfolio to a showcase in Hollywood and three agents want me to move there as soon as I can.
Thank you Tsafrir (Mike) for your contribution to my future.

Thanks so much for making my first step into the industry a fun and fulfilling one. It's obvious you have a great eye for the best shots and it shows in everything you do. For over 2 months I've wanted to put a real portfolio and comp. card together and in less than 2 days, we had them both done. It's such a great feeling to finally have the right package to present to the right people so I can professionally launch my career as a singer/actor/model.

Thanks so much Tsafrir!
This is definitely only the beginning of a our work together!

Tsafrir (Mike) was wonderful and fun to work with. I appreciated his quick response to my initial inquiry and was very accomodating an easy-going manner put me at ease and he managed to catch my spirit in the photo --- not being naturally photogenic ---
I was very pleased with the results.

After seeing Tsafrir's work on his web site I was compelled to contact him to about printing some of his fine professional works on canvas.  Tsafrir was very friendly, and was very open the concept of printing professional work on canvas which many photographers are not.  He instantly understood the benefit of offering a new medium for his clients and we have worked together on a number of printed images since 2006.

Tsafrir is not only very professional and takes fantastic photographs, he is straightforward, helpful, informative and a great pleasure to work with.  I can with confidence recommend him to anyone wanting to work with someone who combines great craft and great results with a solid character.
