Professional Wedding Photography and Portrait Photography in the San Francisco Bay Area
Photography is our passion.
We use this passion to tell the beautiful story of your wedding day. From your mother helping you with your veil. From your fiance’s look of surprise when he sees you walking down the aisle to the tears in your father’s eyes as he gives you away.
We capture the details and moments that create special moments into your wedding.
We approach weddings with a professional and photojournalistic style photography in order to capture the spontaneity of moments. We do not seek to direct the course of events on your wedding day. We instead allow the day to progress naturally, so we can capture each moment as it unfolds before us. The atmosphere remains fun and natural, which brings out the best in you and your family and guests.
Please contact us at (650) 759-8382 or soleilportraits.com at any time to begin your journey into the most sought after wedding photography experience.

How to choose your Wedding Photographer?
Traditional style:
The history of wedding photography starts with traditional style approach. This is the timeless style that you’ve probably seen time and time again. The hallmark of this style is carefully posed photographs of the key moments. Benefits: The traditional photographers usually use a planned “shot list”, which means you’ll get all the important images. Drawbacks: The photographer virtually becomes a “wedding official”, directing the wedding party and guests according to a pre-planned list. This approach is very time consuming, and as a result, the bride and groom end up spending less time with their guests. The wedding album look is attractive, yet predictable.
Wedding photojournalism:
Contemporary style also known as photo reportage and documentary approach, photojournalism has become a very popular style in domestic and destination wedding photography, featuring a series of candid photos covering the entire day. Benefits: Wedding photojournalism gives you a series of unique images aimed to “tell the story” of your wedding day. Drawbacks: There is no pre-planned “shot list,” only the photographer’s instincts; images are unpredictable. Low levels of available light may cause some pictures to look grainy. The couple may regret the absence of traditional, posed portraits in their album.
Illustrative style:
The illustrative style photographers place the subjects in certain settings to take advantage of good lighting or backgrounds. Then, once the scene is set, the couple and their party are free to be themselves, and this results in a more spontaneous feel. Unlike the photojournalistic style, illustrative photography takes advantage of the photographer’s artistic judgment rather than capturing a series of moments. This style often used in engagement photography or in popular “trash the dress” session.
