Brian Gross Photography

If I could give 7 stars I would. New to the area, we struggled to find someone for our daughter’s 5 year old photos. Brain’s photos are some of the best that we have of our daughter, and that says a lot since we had a great photographer in Florida.
Professional, great with kids, and the results are awesome.
We highly recommend Brian Gross Photography. You won’t be disappointed!

I am glad I came across this review on Unilocal.Brian was recommended to me by a friend to do our wedding which took place over a year ago now (still happily married: p). We started talking to Brian and a few other photographers and really received a warm and fuzzy vibe. He legitimately cared about our concerns for what we wanted in a wedding photographer, as well as the types of photos we wanted. We did not get the same positive feelings from anybody else we talked to. Over the course of about 9 months, Brian drove to us several times to discuss details about how everything was going to play out the day of the wedding, engagement photos, pre and post ceremony, reception, and what photo and album packages we would like to order etc etc. He was really helpful in planning the wedding too, although not an official wedding planner, we were able to pick his brain on the types of ceremonies and receptions that worked, and those that didn’t so we could create our perfect day. We really wanted people to have fun, as well as be well fed and boozed. We didn’t want to pull away people all night long for photos or anything like that. Brian was like a ninja during the reception, he blended in so well we didn’t even notice him, yet when we saw our album we were almost in tears. He captured the entire ceremony and reception absolutely perfectly. It was like he was everywhere at the right time. All of our prints, albums and CDs of the photos were delivered in a timely fashion and were expertly done. I can’t think of anything I would change. We plan on doing a family photo session soon with our now, 8 month old daughter, and will use him anytime we need a professional photographer. In the end we felt like we had made a friend, Brian was so warm and caring about our needs, it was if it was his own wedding. I cannot recommend Brian enough. Thank you!!!

Brian came as a recommendation from a friend and has since become our go to for family photos and we recommend him to everyone we can. He does a great job with all his photography. Whether its of a beautiful and heartwarming wedding or a precious family moment. He is great with kids and patient but he knows how it is, he has own beautiful little girl. Not only is his photography outstanding, his service is impeccable as well. One thing most people hate is waiting to see the photographs. Brian is very diligent about getting your photos to you in a timely manner which is appreciated by all. We can’t wait for our next session with him in the coming weeks to introduce baby #2 to our friends and family.

We did a shoot at the Japanese Gardens in Hayward last week… and all I can say is wow!
Brian is very personable, and easy to work with… he just makes you smile. He took his time, we never felt rushed. We had 2 small kids, and he was perfect with them too… a really fun hour plus.
I opted for the disk… and the pictures are natural and artistic. I treasure capturing this moment in time.
We now have a family photographer!

I have known Brian for many many years and he has taken photos of my husband and I, and now ALL of my family photos. Needelss to say, he has captured every moment with my children and his work is amazing. He is proficient, fast, has an amazing ‘eye’ with the camera, and is VERY patient… and with kids that key. We have very special pictures to cherish forever. Brian will always be our photographer of choice and I recommend you give him a try. Once you use Brian you will keep coming back for more!

After a bad experience getting holiday photos done, Brian was here to save the day! Brian came highly recommended from friends and his work speaks for himself.
Brian really took the time with us to get the images we wanted and he truly understands kids. My youngest was not really into the family photo thing this year, but from the photos you can’t tell :)
Brian doesn’t overlook any details and any editing/​retouching is done tastefully. You are left with beautiful and natural works of art! He is also very professional and easy to communicate with.

We found our new family photographer! Brian was a breath of fresh air! With his laid back but very professional attitude, my usual stressed out self was completely at ease. He got all the shots I wanted, FAST! Fast is KEY with kiddos! Brian not only met but exceeded my expectations. My Christmas card was entirely of his work. Do I dare say, I am actually looking FORWARD to taking more family pictures? Why, yes I am:)

Brian was amazing! We cannot say enough good things about him and his work. From the engagement photos to the wedding, he exceeded our expectations and then some! The quality of the finished pictures and books were second to none. He is professional with a fun personality and is able to guide you and/​or make suggestions on how to pose. He was very prompt in responding to us as well as getting the pictures/​cds/​books to us. He truly knows how to capture the moment and is able to tell the whole story of your day from start to finish, we could not be happier with how everything turned out. His pricing is competitive and worth every penny. Take a look for yourself, follow his blog and check him out.
