Tsafrir (owner and photographer at PhotosTM) went above and beyond to make sure every possible opportunity for a beautiful photo on our wedding day was seized.
After having Tsafrir take our engagement photos, we were so impressed with the quality and positive feedback from family and friends, that we decided to proceed with using his services for our wedding.
Like many brides, I was stressed out, tired and also elated on my wedding day. Unfortunately things did not work out with our day-of coordinator (who also was responsible for providing a decor set-up team), so we ended up not having one to keep us on schedule for the day of the wedding. This meant I also had to rush around with my maid of honor and set up all of the wedding day decorations very early in the morning on my wedding day, rush to our hair appointments and then the church.
I was exhausted, but Tsafrir tirelessly encouraged me to pose for photos and to stay on track. Without provocation, Tsafrir took on many of the responsibilities of a day-of coordinator and stepped up to the plate, helping us stay punctual, notifying us when the wedding planner at the church needed us to be prepped and ready, communicating with the DJ to keep us on schedule for our first dance, bouquet toss, garter toss, etc.; he even acted as a go-between with the staff at the reception to let us know when our cake was ready to cut and when our horse drawn carriage had arrived.
As a surprise bonus, Tsafrir brought his own personal laptop to our reception, and displayed a slideshow for our guests of photos he had just taken at the ceremony! Obviously anyone can see that Tsafrir and his team create beautiful pieces of photography , but what you can't see from his samples is the type of person he is. He is dedicated, passionate, and caring beyond belief.
We are SO glad we used PhotosTM for our engagement and wedding photos!!!

Words can't say how unbelievably amazing he is !! He took so many picks .
He goes the extra mile and back . He put the ribbon on the box. Don't get married without him. I'm so happy he was there !!! Getting married was so much fun, with him taking our pictures

Teresa & David

Teresa:
We had a great experience with Tsafrir!! The pictures he took for our wedding turned out perfectly, and he really worked with us to make sure we were happy. I highly recommend using his services for any event, but especially if you are looking to make your wedding experience very enjoyable. He even got out ring bearer to smile (he was 2). Tsafrir also got a picture of every single guest at the wedding!! He knows exactly how to make you feel comfortable in front of the camera.

David:
My wife and I could not be more happy with the personable and professional services of Tsafrir. It was a once in a life time event for us and Tsafrir captured it perfectly (at a phenomenal price as well). He has been in business a long time in California (if I remember correctly) and his experience is self evident. We would recommend him to anyone as he does other photography (family photos etc). If you do contact him, he also goes by Mike so you will not have to try to learn how to pronounce his first name (although we felt compelled to try anyway).

I was so excited to see the proofs from our photo shoot with Tsafrir.
First of all he was a pleasure to work with. He was calm, funny, patient with our toddlers, and very timely!
The pictures came out beautiful and captured our family perfectly. I would definitely recommend him and look forward to working with him again.

You won't be disappointed when you hire Tsafrir (Mike) as your photographer! =) Thanks a bunch for capturing our happy moments, Tsafrir (Mike)!

The decision to book Mike as a photographer for our wedding was an easy one. I had known Mike socially for quite some time, and I always admired his work. Besides being a talented photographer, he is also very friendly and personable, so our guests enjoyed taking pictures with us because Mike made it fun for everybody. His direction was very helpful, and the pictures came out beautiful. We especially appreciated his great suggestions for photo locations and setting. He has an eye for beauty and definitely knows how to please customers as critical as I am. His rates were very reasonable, and he delivered the photos in two days! We will definitely book Mike again for another session soon. I highly recommend him as a solid professional and talented artist.

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.

I recently hired PhotosTM Bay Area Photography for my wedding reception in May 07. Tsafrir (Mike) was my main photographer and he had an associate, Mark who also photographed the reception. I highly recommend this company for all of your photography needs. Here's more details:
Style: I absolutely love their style. I was going for photojournalism and that's definitely what I got. Every single picture is beautiful and interesting. They really know how to capture the moment using angles, lighting, and other special techniques. I love my pictures!
Price: Very affordable! You get tons for the money. Very worth it. There are packages that are flexible and will allow you get the combination of things you want.
Professionalism: Tsafrir (Mike) and his associate Mark were wonderful. Tsafrir (Mike) goes the extra mile to ensure all of the details are tended to. He's very friendly, flexible, and great at what he does.

Lisa & Raymond

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.

Karen & Benjamin

When we first met Tsafrir (Mike), we knew we didn't have to look any further. We were impressed with Mike's creativity and ability to come up with unique poses and backgrounds, even in a venue he had never shot at before. Our guests also enjoyed working with Mike, many of them complimented us on how professional, artistic and hardworking he was. If you're looking for a photographer who can produce a nice mix of traditional, candid and artistic shots, Mike is the guy for you.

Dear future bride and groom,
We remember looking at wedding photographers websites, calling for availability, calling for pricing, and exclaiming, "This is really difficult!"
One phone call stood out in our minds and it was our conversation with Mike. He was very relaxed, calm and sincere. When we visited, we found his professionalism and creativity matched our wedding day needs perfectly.
It was a treat to have his smiling face on the other side of the camera. He was proficient with timing and we have some beautiful candid shots to show for it. Our wedding day included a butterfly release of 12 butterflies after our kiss. With so few precious minutes of butterfly action, we didn't expect any good pictures. We were amazed that he was able to capture both the butterfly action and background expressions on our guest faces!
After our honeymoon, Mike followed up with us and was punctual with delivering the pictures and continued to be as professional and genuine.
Best Wishes,
Tommy & Lisa

After fiddling through a number of photographers, we thought we'd never find one talented enough to meet our expectations. Then we met Tsafrir (Mike). He was as nice as he was talented. He kept our thoughts in mind the whole way through and came with such variety in mind. One thing we really like about him was that he could "picture" a great shot anywhere we went. Even on our way to our first planned spot, the San Jose Museum of Art, he had us pull over so he could take some amazing shots in front of the Tech Museum. We loved every minute of it! Everyone was staring at us, we felt like super stars! It was so much fun working with him, we kind of forgot it was our wedding day. We have gotten so many compliments on our photos since the wedding and they won't stop coming! Thanks again Mike!
