We were honored to work with Clane as our wedding
photographer. He is professional, passionate about his job and creative. Clane was able to capture exactly what we wanted in both our engagement photos and wedding photos. We have photos that we absolutely love and will continue to love over the years. Oh! Another wonderful thing is Clane had our photos ready within he 14 days that he promised so it was wonderful to come back from our honeymoon and have our photos ready to go. We would highly recommend Clane to anyone and hope that we can work with him again in the future!

Hiring a photographer for our wedding was by far the toughest decision. Mainly because there are so many to choose from, and many seem like they would do a good job. We chose Clane based ona referral and my initial choice was that | appreciated the questions he asked me up front about what was important to me. Even though | really didn't care about engagement photos, he insisted this part of the package. And, | am SO glad he did. Fr om engagement photos through the ceremony, Clane showed up with great energy, creativity and assertiveness. He gives small hints along the way to ensure the photos will look their best and had creative ideas of wh ere and how to take photos. Let's just say you don't get bored with Clane. | was impressed that Clane drove 3 hours just to do a walk through of our wedding venue just so he could be more prepared when it came to our big day. Clane understands service, going above and beyond, and most importantly, he is a talented photographer. | recommend Clane Gessel for your next wedding or big event!

Clane is a consummate professional. From the time we met Clane, he made my wife and me feel like we were the most important people in the world. Our engagement photos are spectacular and he truly captured what we were looking for. When it came to our wedding, he was there every step of the way, from the engagement dinner to the reception. On top of being a great photographer, he is a great person. My wife and | consider him a friend and would recommend him to anyone we know.

ends with Clane Gessel. He is such a gifted artist and his
interpersonal skills make him a complete pleasure to work with whether it be during the initial consultations or the day of your engagement with him.

We were so thankful for his guidance which resulted in AMAZING, TIMELESS photographs we will cherish forever.

Clane Gessel is a true professional and artist. We are so grateful and feel equally humbled we had the opportunity to work with him for our wedding. | knew going into the wedding planning process | cared a lot about the photography- and in the Bay Area there is certainly no deficit of wedding photographers. Full disclosure- | am a personality type AAA and | researched several photographers (probably over 50), meeting with a dozen in person or on Skype before landing on Clane. Clane made us feel so comfortable, and he was equally excited about our wedding as we were - that truly was hard to find in many of the photographers we had met with.
What | really appreciated about Clane was his go-getter and no-nonsense approach on the wedding day. We had a fairly large wedding, with even larger personality in our wedding party and extended family. We wanted to get certain shots and had limited time — he got everyone organized quickly (which was the equivalent to herding cats) and told us something the wedding day that | really liked: “I am not here to please everyone, | am here to please you.”
