Todd Rafalovich Photography

Coming up on almost 20 years since we've worked with Todd. We could not have been more blessed. He shot our wedding and put together an album that we enjoy still. What an honor. I'd love to participate in some of the stuff he's doing these days overseas. I bet it's a trip of a lifetime.

***MUST HIRE, ABSOLUTE BEST PHOTOGRAPHERS***
We hired Todd, Ruth and Kin to photographer our wedding in October. We planned our wedding from the East Cost and my wife was only able to meet them once before our big day. Ruth was generous enough to pick up my wife at the BART station nearby to have their first sit down meeting, well before we signed our contract. Todd has a vision for his images and uses his team to execute that reality. Kin was the second shooter, covering the guys getting ready, secondary shots and reception moments - an absolute blast to work with, fun and easy going. They provided a quick-cut if images right away and full download of finished photos a few weeks later. As a photographer myself, I appreciate they’re work, vision, commanding of groups, and price. You won’t find a better deal, Better people, or have a better experience. No question, 100% would hire again!!!

Todd has been taking our family photos every since he photographed our wedding in 2000! We were married at the Flood Mansion and Todd took the most incredible photo of my husband and me at the top of Fillmore Street looking out to the Bay with my veil blowing in the wind. It was even featured in Modern Bride! He has an amazing eye for detail and composition, and his photos are very modern and hip. He is excellent with families, my kids love Todd and he captures their unique personalities. While it is impossible to choose any one photo that represents the high quality of his work, this is one of my favorites from 2017 family shoot!

Todd was our wedding photographer 2 years ago. The photos he captured on our special day were stunning, and our friends until this day comment on how beautiful our wedding photos were. He recently photographed our first set of family pictures with our new baby and they came out perfect. He is extremely dedicated and talented, works with our schedule, sends back finished photos to us in a very timely manner. We look forward to working with Todd for many more photo sessions in the future with our little one.

Todd’s work is nothing short of amazing, it has provided my family with beautiful tangible memories of the most important occasions in our lives. We have worked with Todd several times since first hiring him for our wedding and we will not work with anyone else.

It’s been well over a year since we booked Todd as our wedding photographer and time has in no way mellowed my appreciation for the fabulous work that he and his wife Ruth do! They were warm, thorough, insightful, collaborative and incredibly generous with their time and ideas. And, I have the proofs to prove it!

Todd’s wealth of knowledge, incredible eye for detail, friendly and approachable disposition made working with him effortless. The stunning photos show how much pride, passion and thoughtfulness he has in his work. He is the man you NEED behind the lens!

Our home is now full of Todd’s work- from wedding photos, to our baby’s first photos, to her baptism and now yearly family shoots. He and Ruth have documented the growth of our family and I can’t imagine trusting anyone else to capture our memories. Our life will forever be memorialized not only in images but in the emotion and energy that was captured in their work.

INCREDIBLE!
If having the BEST photographer is as important to you as it was to us, then stop looking any further because Todd Rafalovich will create stunning photos that will provide memories for a lifetime.

From the first email exchanges to our conversations with Todd a few weeks before our wedding to discuss our vision, we knew we were in good hands. Todd and Ruth are the dream team! We have never felt comfortable in front of a camera, but Todd's confidence, relaxed demeanor, and clear instructions quickly put us at ease. Todd's incredible eye for detail allowed us to capture an amazing group picture with all 150 of our guests clearly visible AND smiling -- we still don't know how he did it! Ruth (Todd's wife and assistant) was there by my side through every moment, ensuring my dress and veil were perfectly situated, and that I didn't have a single hair out of place. We received our photos within weeks of the wedding and we were truly impressed with the beautiful portraits as well as the many group shots and candid moments he captured throughout the day. We had so many favorites that it took us hours to narrow them down to select those to share with our families.

The cake is long gone, the dress is preserved, and our guests have returned home. Thanks to Todd and his team, however, we will forever be able to re-live all of the special moments of our wedding day.

Todd is an extremely talented photographer. I am so pleased with how our company headshots and photos turned out. The quality and uniqueness of his photos are incredible and he has a keen and developed eye for photography. I encourage you to take a look at his website to see what I'm talking about. Will definitely use him again in the future!

Todd is a wonderful photographer. We first hired Todd for our wedding. Being particular about photography (I'm a professional photographer myself), we wanted an artistic look, and Todd did not disappoint. He made us feel at ease and captured the feeling of the day. We have since used him to photograph our family through the years, and I wouldn't trust anyone else. The best pictures we have are those made by Todd. He is simply the best.

Hiring Todd and Ruth was the best decision we made for our wedding. 5 stars doesn't do justice to the service they provide. We had an incredible day thanks in large part to their experience and the preparations we did beforehand with them to make the day run smoothly. After the wedding we received a few edited photos from Todd within a day, and many more in the week that followed. The photos are spectacular! He is a true artist who knows how to capture your day for memories that will last a lifetime. We would hire them again and recommend them without hesitation.

Highly Recommended.

Todd has taken pictures of my son and I since he was born. At every stage he's done amazing work - from baby photos to family photos.

He's a joy to work with and creates just such amazing work - he really captures the uniqueness of my family and lets that shine through beautifully.

Both studio and outdoor shoots have been great.

We have been working with Todd since our daughter was 6 months old for both self and family portraits. While I was skeptical at first since the last photographer we worked with did not capture our daughters newborn photos as we envisioned. When meeting Todd my wife and I immediately felt confident and comfortable to have him photograph our family. As soon as we saw the first set of photos we loved them! Todd is patient and has captured every image that we could have possibly hoped for.

We've worked with Todd on three different family photo shoots as the kids have gotten bigger and I love the images he captured for us. He is incredibly patient with our kids and really captured them being themselves. He and his wife were a great team and were flexible about our time together, never making us feel rushed or on the clock. He is super knowledgeable and had great advice about locations, angles, posing - but all in a very conversational and laid back way. I've referred him to friends over the years and will be back again for another family shoot!

We were referred to Todd by a family member and so happy we worked with Todd and Ruth! We worked with Todd for our engagement photos and our wedding photos and couldn't have been more impressed with how they came out! During our engagement shoot, he made us both feel so calm and natural as that was our first time taking professional photos! We received our photos very soon after and couldn't have been more in love with them! Our wedding day was nothing but perfect and thanks to Ruth and Todd for making it so seamless! Todd captured the most amazing shots on our wedding day!! Ruth was so amazing to work with as well especially when it came to touch ups and making sure we both looked our best for each shot. It was an absolute pleasure working with Todd and Ruth and we'll be definitely using them again in the future when we have something else come up! Thank you for making everything so effortless and providing us with the most BEAUTIFUL photos we'll have for a lifetime! -Lauren and Dom

Right off the bat after having a conversation with Ruth I knew Todd was the right fit to photograph our newborn baby and family. They were very flexible with scheduling even when our daughter came early. We were instantly comfortable with them when we met. They were so patient and kind towards us. Todd was thoughtful and creative with every shot. He captured our vision perfectly. We received our photos in a timely manner and were thrilled with the outcome. We look forward to working with them in the future documenting our family!

Todd was our wedding photographer. All I can say is after 5 years, I am still in awe how amazing our photos are!! We absolutely love them. He was so professional and accommodating. Todd ensured it was about our wedding and not about ‘getting the pictures’! We definitely enjoyed working with him!

We were referred to Todd by a friend for a family photo shoot scheduled at the very last minute. It was raining at the only time that would work for the 5 of us and Todd was incredibly professional and good natured about working is less than ideal conditions. He checked in with us throughout the shoot to be sure we were comfortable and that the shots were what we were looking for. He sent us the photos within 24 hours and were thrilled with the results! Todd will be our family photographer for years to come and we recommend him without reservation to everyone we know.

Todd has been doing our family photos for years. He does such an amazing job of capturing great pics of our daughter. The best ones are when he captures her in between the formal shots, with candid pics where he gets her being playful or innocent. He just has the "eye". We get great family portraits from these sessions too. People always comments on what great pics we get. We highly recommend him!

Todd and Ruth were GREAT to work with! They made our 4 year olds feel very comfortable (which doesn't happen that often and that fast) and were able to get amazing family photos for our wall and for Christmas cards. We've used many photographers over the years and Todd was by far the fastest to send us our photos, which is a testament to his professionalism. Todd also got us some very creative shots that I haven't seen with other family photos. HIGHLY recommend them!

Todd is awesome! Todd shot my wedding back in 2008, and we continue to visit him every year for family shoots. He is incredibly patient, great with kids, and more importantly, he takes great photos. He knows great angles and will make every shot look fantastic. We love Todd!

I’ve had the pleasure of working with Todd and Ruth for the past 5 years for a variety of occasions -- engagement, wedding, newborn, multi-generational family and headshots. Todd’s photography is nothing short of extraordinary. He is an expert at what he does and makes everyone look their best, but also like themselves. Todd provides excellent direction which results in consistently beautiful photos whether literal or avant garde. The only dilemma you’ll have is deciding which of his many photos is your favorite. Ruth makes sure the lighting always flatters and that your flyaway hairs are never in the way. They are professionals and help make even the most camera shy feel at ease. I highly recommend working with Todd and Ruth!
