Sonia N. Sent on 01/20/2020City Hall and Cultural Wedding Photography
We hired Oscar to capture our SF City Hall wedding (March 2019) and again for our Indian ceremony (October 2019). I would say that he was our photographer, but he was SO MUCH MORE than that. For the City Hall wedding, he walked us through all the steps we'd need to take to prepare for the ceremony to make sure that we had all of our paperwork and knew exactly where to meet and who to bring. Of course, I couldn't eat much of a breakfast that morning and almost passed out during the photography session. Oscar saved the day by feeding me a granola bar - and still delivered beautiful photos where you couldn't tell that anything was amiss. Of COURSE we had to hire him for our other ceremony, and once again, Oscar acted as an extra wedding coordinator, advising us about the venue (he knew all the best spots to photograph us), getting ready timeline, transportation, hotel - you name it! When it's the morning of your wedding and your stress and nerves are at a high, you want someone in the room with you that you can trust and make you calm and relaxed. I didn't want my mom or bridesmaids - just Oscar. Hire him, you won't regret it. And, yes, our pictures came out amazing! -

Alice B. Sent on 02/28/2019Engagement Shoot + Wedding
I ran across Red Eye Collection as a referral from my wedding venue, and I really liked their work right away. The brightness or emotion you see in their pictures really caught my eyes. I was in contact with Oscar who was very helpful with the contracting process for our September 2019 wedding and also for scheduling of our engagement shoot. Just this past weekend we had our engagement photo session with Alicia who was AMAZING! I knew I was going to love the pictures the moment she stopped to fix my hair and our outfits before we took our first picture of the day. I could tell she was a perfectionist and was going to to do everything she could for the pictures to turn out great. Alicia was extremely nice and patient with our awkward selves :) She had brilliant ideas for places, background, lighting and poses for pictures, and she was also honest about what would look good and what wouldn't. A short 4 days later we received our pictures and we LOVE them! They turned out better than I expected. I'm looking forward to using the pictures on our save the dates cards and to working with Alicia again on our wedding day. It put my heart at ease to know my wedding pictures are going to be perfect! Thank you so very much guys!! -

Drew Sent on 12/09/2018Look No Further for a Photographer!
If you're looking for a wedding photographer, stop looking and contact Oscar! Oscar did our engagement photos in September 2017 at Lands End and our wedding photos in September 2018 at The Brazilian Room. We could have not have been happier with the experience and the end product. Very easy to communicate with, directed us during the photos, gave advice on schedule & timing of wedding and was just a blast to work with. The most importantly, the photos turned out amazing! Couldn't have asked for a better experience! We would recommend Oscar to everyone and anyone. -

Rhea Sent on 08/30/2018Oscar is simply an amazing photographer! We enjoyed working with him and he was a hit with all our guests as well. He is talented, smart, well coordinated and friendly...a true professional.
We got married at the San Francisco City Hall and had a reception party in Sonoma right after the ceremony. We booked the City Hall Signature package (60 mins) for the wedding ceremony. He knows the best spots in City Hall for photographs and captures great lighting. We also booked Oscar for 2 hours for the Reception party. Turned out we needed Oscar to stay an additional hour at the reception. He was totally up for it and we paid him for the additional hour. Working with Oscar is effortless as his primary focus is to help the couple as best he can. He fixed my dress and hair before taking every picture (except the candid ones of course). Im told wedding photographers dont usually go through that much trouble. Oscar clearly has an eye for details.
We received 218 gorgeous photos just 9 days after our wedding. Talk about fast turnaround time! We love the photos and will cherish them for life.
We would highly recommend Oscar and the Red Eye Collection.
Thank you so much!! -
Annie Sent on 10/12/2018Where do I even begin?! My husband and I have so many good things to say about Oscar and his second photographer Dino.
1. PROFESSIONAL - Oscar was very easy to communicate with! He always responded promptly and was willing to address any questions or concerns we had. At our first meeting, he was very informative, direct, and full of personality. You can definitely tell he's a pro!
2. FUN - We had such a great time shooting with Oscar! We're not great at being in front of the camera but there was no lull or awkwardness during the shoot because of his assertive and fun personality. He also tells you how to adjust your body/face to make sure you look good in the photos which is a huge plus!
3. EXCEPTIONAL CUSTOMER SERVICE - On our wedding day, the boys could not figure out how to put on their boutonnieres so I texted Oscar to see if he can help since he was meeting up with the boys first to hide the groom for our first look. He immediately said NP and when I arrived with the girls, the boys were ready, the groom was hidden, and he already had the whole first look process planned out.
4. GORGEOUS PHOTOS (obviously the most important part) - we just received our photos in the 4-6 weeks post wedding window just like he promised and we couldn't be happier!! He has a great eye and definitely knows how to use natural lighting!
Red Eye Collection deserves way more than 5 stars! BOOK THEM. -

Melinda Sent on 02/19/2018My husband and I used Red Eye to photograph our recent wedding ceremony at the SF City Hall. We chose the 1 hr city hall package and I was a little nervous that the pictures would feel rushed. Oscar was so great from the second we met him on the day of the ceremony. He knows the City Hall like the back of his hand and knew exactly where to tell us to go to make things go as smooth as possible before, during and after the ceremony. Best of all the pictures that we got back exactly two weeks after our ceremony were better than we could've even imagined. If we had to do it all over again I wouldn't change a thing!
BTW if you bring family or friends to the ceremony and choose the 1 hr option, be aware that Red Eye may ask your guests to stay behind after the ceremony while majority of your pictures are taken with just you and your new partner. We nor our guests had any issue with this and it totally makes sense to ensure that you get the most out of your time frame but it just wasn't something we thought about. Luckily for us there was a vendor craft fair in the City Hall that day so our guests went and browsed the items while our photos were taken. -

Sarah Sent on 02/27/2018I cannot say enough about how wonderful our experience with Oscar was. He not only took the most lovely photos of our City Hall civil ceremony, but also helped guide us through the process as he knows it well! He was so much help and such a professional. He truly goes above and beyond. He suggested wonderful locations for our outdoor photos as well. I very highly recommend Red Eye Collection!

Tasha Sent on 03/01/2018Oscar was second to none. We are so thankful we decided to book a professional photographer for our simple City hall elopement! Even though our day was far less extravagant than most weddings are, Oscar made sure to capture our day with excellence. He picked out two amazingly beautiful second locations for us and even drove us there (since we are from Canada and didn't have a vehicle). We were very impressed with the level of service he provided not to mention the quality of photos. He also got the photos back to us quicker than expected which was another pleasant surprise. Highly recommend Red Eye Photography to anyone considering a city hall photographer.

User2444569 Sent on 11/27/2015Hiring a photographer for your wedding is extremely stressful. You hear horror stories about photographers who didn't have any vision, or who didn't know what they were doing, or weren't responsive, etc. So, my wife and I spent a very long time (and lots of effort) finding the right photographer for our wedding. I can say, without a doubt, that our work paid off big time.
Unfortunately, I can't leave a full review here (due to text limitations). So, for a full review, see:

All in all, Oscar is great. You'd be wrong to not consider hiring him as your photographer. He'll do whatever it takes to make you wedding day go great - and, just as importantly, the pictures he'll take will be perfect.
