San Francisco Bay Area Photographer
What people are saying.
"We had the best time taking family photos with Ameya! Scheduling a session with him was seamless with excellent communication throughout the process. He picked the perfect spot for our pictures based on what I envisioned, and gave us tips for what to bring and wear. I wasn’t sure how it would go with an 11 month old and 3 year old to photograph, but my sons were comfortable with him from the start and he somehow managed to capture beautiful pictures of two very active boys. Thank you Ameya, we will treasure these pictures and memories for many years to come!!"

His patience truly stood out—he took the time to get to know us and make us feel completely comfortable in front of the camera. We never once felt rushed or awkward, and his calming presence made the entire session so enjoyable, and his dedication to the shot made it fun!
​
The portraits turned out absolutely stunning. Each one is a perfect blend of candid moments and artistic composition. We couldn’t be happier with how they turned out—his work truly speaks for itself. If you’re looking for a photographer who will capture your love story with precision, creativity, and an incredible amount of care, Ameya is the one to go to. We can’t wait to work with him again :) "

"I'm so glad we went with Ameya to photograph our maternity pictures. He was great throughout the whole process.

"Ameya did an incredible job with our family photo shoot! We wanted to commemorate our daughter’s first birthday with a special family session, and he exceeded all our expectations. His skill and attention to detail allowed us to focus on keeping our daughter content while he worked his magic behind the camera.
Our daughter was fussy for most of the session—about 45 of the 60 minutes—and we were convinced there wouldn’t be many good shots. Yet, Ameya somehow managed to capture every fleeting smile and tender moment, even during those challenging minutes. The photos truly reflect our family in its natural, authentic state, and we couldn’t be happier with the results.
We’re planning to large-print his work to proudly display in our home. Thank you, Ameya, for your incredible talent and dedication. We feel so lucky to have found our new favorite local photographer, and we’re already looking forward to making this an annual tradition!"

"I worked with Ameya last year for an engagement shoot. I found Ameya to be approachable, organized and communicative in our interactions. He was incredibly helpful in planning locations and timeline for our 2-day shoot. He helped structure our day to be manageable given the limited time frame and ambitious schedule my fiancé and I had in mind. Over the course of the weekend session, we got to know each other well and I was impressed with his knowledge and creativity. He guided us through poses, locations and made us feel overall comfortable. We left the shoot excited to see the incredible shots he captured. When it came to delivery of the photos, he provided them on-time and when he said he would. Not only were we blown away by the shots he managed to capture but so were our friends and family! I would not hesitate to reach out to Ameya again for any of my future photography needs and would highly recommend him to other couples looking for similar services!"

His creativity and expertise in the field were evident as he took the time to capture every shot perfectly. He was always willing to listen to our requests and was able to provide us with guidance and suggestions that made the photos even better. Ameya was able to capture the essence of our clinic and the atmosphere perfectly. The images were clear, sharp, and well-composed. His attention to detail made all the difference in the final product. Overall, I would highly recommend Ameya to anyone looking for professional photography services.

Our pictures came out to be lovely and his edits are really beautiful! He was patient with us and our little toddler. He knew where exactly he would get the right lighting and was very cognizant of his art. He is friendly and understanding and it shows in his work. We are happy we chose him and would definitely choose him for our portraits in future too! Thanks, Ameya!"

His creative eye and flexibility with the architecture of my college campus was amazing to watch and seeing the results showed his expertise in this field. He guided us patiently, listened to all of our requests, and helped our vision for the end of our college careers come to life. It was clear every image was curated to perfection and we were all extremely happy with the results. All the pictures turned out fantastic and I would definitely seek Ameya out again for any photography needs in the future!"

We LOVED the final products and have already received many compliments on how beautiful the photos turned out. Thank you Ameya for helping our vision come to life!"

"We have now worked with Ameya a few times in the past year and each experience has been stellar, from the hour spent taking the photos at the location to the final result. He comes with great suggestions for location, time of day, and various poses. His final edits have been great and well received by all our family and friends. We plan to continue working with Ameya for our future family shoots and would highly recommend him."

"Ameya took our family photos last month and they turned out AMAZING. He was knowledgeable about the location was able to guide us through the shoot to get the natural looking photos we wanted. He had suggestions of color palettes that would work well with the location, which was very helpful. The turnaround was really fast and I’m planning getting prints to hang up on the wall. We will definitely be going to Ameya in the future for family photos!"

"Working with Ameya for taking pictures at my Indian baby shower/bangle ceremony was amazing! He was so thoughtful and patient and shot some incredible event photos. The photos captured the vibrancy and joy of the event, and we'll definitely be treasuring the memories he captured for years to come. I can't recommend working with him more-- we'll for sure be asking him for more photoshoots in the years to come!"

"My husband and I (and our families) love the photos Ameya took at our backyard wedding a couple of weeks ago! He was incredibly professional through the whole event, with great communication during the planning process and a super quick turnaround after. We were impressed at his versatility, perfectly capturing the lively baraat, intimate ceremony, family photos, and candid scenes through the evening. He even guided us through some couple shots that turned out lovely despite our initial awkwardness! Definitely recommend Ameya for event photography as well as photoshoots."

"We are so happy with our engagement photos taken by Ameya. My fiancé personally knew him before, but even if neither of us knew him, I’m confident that Ameya would have still created such a comfortable space for us both, as he did during our 1-hour photo shoot. I liked his attention to detail, which especially came through during a short planning call we had ahead of time to figure out the best spots within our intended shoot location. There was good communication before, during, and after. During the shoot, he gave really good direction and even showed us a couple quick shots so we knew how we were looking in real-time. Overall, we are really happy with the album we received and his work has made this season extra special. His rates are fair and competitive and we highly recommend him for a special/milestone photo shoot!

Ameya was incredibly helpful — right from suggesting locations to guiding us through outfit choices. He came in with a clear vision for the shots and moments he wanted to capture, which really helped us get the perfect frames without feeling rushed or overwhelmed. He was patient, professional, and went the extra mile by accommodating our request to shoot a "Save the Date" video. The entire experience was smooth, fun, and truly memorable.

We has a great sense of humor, is very understanding of his clients’ needs, and makes the entire photoshoot experience so much more enjoyable. I highly recommend Ameya for any professional photography needs."

Due to the escalation of corona, I was not able to have a proper graduation ceremony, but Ameya made it possible with the most precious pictures with my family.

Loved how all the pictures came out. I definitely recommend ameya for all the special events photography."

"Ameya portrays amazing Photography skills and while he does that his eye for and judgement to capture natural memorable moments is meticulous. Special days are made more special when the correct moments with important people are captured. He makes sure he does not overwhelm the kids and changes his plan of action per their comfort zone. I would recommend him for all sorts of special days ... Anniversary celebration, birthdays, baby showers, pregnancy photo shoot or if you just feel life is worth capturing in its best pose."

"I had a blast getting my professional headshots done by Ameya. He was helpful in guiding poses to try and making me laugh for a more natural look. The best part is that I had a fun time AND the photos turned out amazing! The hard part is picking just 1 for my headshot. Thanks Ameya! Looking forward to another photo shoot -- maybe for fun this time!"

"Ameya did our couple photoshoot. He did a great job. He was very helpful deciding the location for the shoot. Also, he ensured we were comfortable when clicking photos. He's very professional and was on time. Right from planning till the time we received our photos everything went smoothly. The delivery of photos was really quick.

"I have asked Ameya to do several photo shoots of mine. He has done a purely fantastic and clean job in each of the shoots. I have never had any complaints from him. His passion and love for photography shows in his work and behavior. He is very approachable and tells us exactly how to pose for the camera. He also helps recommend locations and is very accommodating. A lot of photographers do the job only for money, but I have never seen that working with Ameya. He cares more about his delivery and customers than the money."

"I had Ameya photograph a surprise proposal and an engagement shoot with my fiancé right after. He was professional and very helpful from the start and made me feel confident in his abilities. He worked closely with me before the shoot to plan location, time, and other considerations such as the best lighting and crowd in the background. On the day of the shoot, he was thorough with his pictures and was able to guide my fiancé and I through different locations and poses. He turned around the photos quickly and we were both very impressed with the results. Ameya's passion and love for photography shines through and his calm and easygoing demeanor is an added bonus. I would not hesitate to recommend Ameya!"

"My fiance and I had the pleasure of working with Ameya for an engagement ceremony we had planned. He was very accommodating in moving around other plans to make our time work on short notice. And the day off went off without a hitch he was there whenever we needed him and also helped give good guidance to make the pictures turn out great. Truly a very fun and seamless experience to work with Ameya! And his eye and skill made for some beautiful pictures we will cherish the rest of our lives! Highly recommend Ameya to any and all!"

"We have done a few photoshoots with Ameya and they have been such a great experience. We did our engagement photo shoot a few years back and then recently did our pregnancy announcement with him. He comes prepared with ideas for poses, which is a huge help since we don’t usually know what will work best for us. He has a knack on getting not just clear photos but artistic ones that make the photo overall look so good. He is willing to give recommendations on what colors to wear that will look good for the photos in different locations. He walks through a clear plan on what the day of itinerary will look like and how much time it will take.
The best part is that we get little sneak peeks during the shoot which is great so we feel comfortable with how the photos are turning out. If we want to do additional poses outside of the ones he has, we are more than welcome to do them and he will take the shot.
Once the shoot is complete, he turns around the photos within a day or two, which is super rare from photographers and is quick to respond and make edits if we have any feedback. He really has a good eye for photography and editing. Excited to do more milestone photoshoots with Ameya!"

His eye for capturing the perfect moment is unmatched, and his direction made us feel comfortable and confident in front of the camera. He knew exactly how to get the best angles and lighting, turning our special moments into beautiful memories. We couldn't be happier with the photos—they truly reflect the love and excitement we felt. If you want someone who can tell your story through stunning images, Ameya is the one to call!"

"Had a pre wedding photo shoot with Ameya. We went with nothing in mind except for the attire which he also helped us with a few days before the shoot. Ameya fully helped us with the poses, listened to how we wanted things and kept it very easy throughout the session. He showed a lot of patience with us. The pictures turned out awesome! Definitely recommend."​

"I needed a photographer for my mom’s 60th birthday, and this was planned at such notice within a week. Ameya was so kind and responsive and accommodating fitting me in his schedule. As soon as he arrived to the event, he went straight to his expertise of taking all the photos as I was busy hosting. The pictures came out amazing and better than I expected. I really love the Kodak moments and some of the photos that were in black and white too. I definitely will reach out to him for future events. Thank you, so much Ameya"
