Pete Thompson Photography

I think Meredith said it best:
«I cannot recommend Pete highly enough. Pete takes amazing photos — really his work speaks for itself. But I think Pete is set apart by how great he is to work with, and by the thoughtfulness and care he puts into capturing exactly what you’re hoping for in your pictures.»

We were just so happy with our choice of Pete as our wedding photographer. Our pictures just came back, and we were expecting may be 10 or 20 winners that we might consider framing. We were shocked to find that there were literally hundreds to choose from.
I honestly don’t know how he captured so many quality shots, or how 1 person could be in so many places. He did not miss a single memorable moment.
He was so easy to work with though out the planning phase, and the day of. Despite changes in schedules (including the actual wedding date) Pete was just so flexible and accommodating.
We demanded a lot from him on the day of the event. We had hundreds of «must have» shots that he needed to fit in a very short period of time. He was very organized, took charge when necessary, and stayed on the schedule to the minute. He put in about 12 hours of work that day, and don’t think he took a single break.
We received so many comments from our guests on Pete. On how friendly, and fun he was, and how hard he worked. A few married couples commented on how they didn’t get nearly as much out of their wedding photographers, and I also found out they had spent much more.

Hiring Pete as our photographer was one of the very best decisions my husband and I made for our wedding. From the moment we met him, we knew that he would mesh really well with our friends and family and create pictures that reflected the moment, not the other way around. He has a great personality — he’s warm and funny and immediately sets people at ease. I think it’s so important that your photographer be someone you would actually want at your wedding because they will be interacting with all of your guests. Pete is definitely a person you want at your wedding– he’s not at all in your face, just relaxed, friendly, and professional. After our wedding, a number of people mentioned how great they thought he was.
The quality of his work is absolutely stunning. My husband and I got married in Oct. 2008, just south of Stinson Beach. The wedding was outside in the bright sun, yet Pete somehow captured really intimate moments with gorgeous lighting. I’m amazed at some of the pictures because I honestly don’t even remember him taking the photos. The posed shots are beautiful and creative, and the candid ones feel fun and alive. We have lovely pictures of every person at the wedding and of every moment.
Pete gave us all of the digital images (over a thousand!), so we can print as many copies as we want online. He also gave us a DVD slideshow of the best photos. When we first watched the DVD I was almost in tears because he had actually used songs from the wedding as the background music. I had no idea he was going to do that, and it was just such a thoughtful touch.
I cannot recommend Pete highly enough. Pete takes amazing photos — really his work speaks for itself. But I think Pete is set apart by how great he is to work with, and by the thoughtfulness and care he puts into capturing exactly what you’re hoping for in your pictures.

We used Pete for our wedding in July. Pete was amazing to work with. He made both my family and myself feel comfortable and at ease in front of the camera (which I am not normally). He captured intimate and spontaneous moments throughout the day. The photos are absolutely beautiful. I am so happy that we used Pete.

i have known pete for many a day… and he continues to surprise me with his talent, humor and professionalism.
i cant wait to get married and have him there as not only a friend, but as the really, really, ridiculously good looking photographer.

Wow Pete honestly is an amazing photographer. My husband and I where recommended Pete by a friend who is actually getting married now in 2 weeks. She first saw his work from her best friend’s wedding who used Pete for her wedding a year or so ago. I was so thrilled I choose Pete for our wedding in Carmel, Ca. Not only was he easy to work with but he also made me, the stressful bride relaxed knowing my wedding photo’s where with a professional. My guests also adored Pete because of his friendly outgoing personality which made it easier to get those «True» treasured shots of the day. We would recommend Pete for anything because he honestly is the «BEST» in the Bay Area.

Pete is a wonderful photographer. Besides skill and technique, Pete’s best attribute is his desire to represent you as you truly are. His quest to get the best picture possible is focused and with such an easy-​going personality you feel comfortable being yourself. I highly recommend Pete as a photographer.

I first saw Pete’s work from my best friend’s wedding and loved his work immediately. Pete felt so much like a part of the party, you wouldn’t have guessed he was the photographer if it weren’t for the giant camera he was holding.
I decided to hire Pete for my upcoming wedding and I’ve recommended him several times since — and we haven’t even had the wedding yet! But I know he’s great especially after spending a little more time with him and seeing a few other weddings he’s done and hearing the feedback from other people.
A photographer isn’t someone you want to pick blindly. They spend all day with you at your wedding so it’s important you get along and feel comfortable, and of course like their work. I can definitely say I made the right choice with Pete and I can’t wait to see what he does for our wedding shots.

We used Pete to take some advertisement photos for our business website and talking about completely being blown away… Pete’s work was amazing… he really captures the essence of the subject and adds his own creative element… Pete’s a real pleasure to work with and he comes highly recommended!
