Bill is one of the most professional photographers I ever met. Punctual, professional and he takes amazing images. I'm thrilled that I chose him for our Singacoustic event with multiple singer songwriters in a live stream show in a recording studio. He just knew what to do, took charge of the shoot guiding artists by the step and repeat banner, moved all over the studio taking stunning images. Thank you Bill, looking forward to working with you again. Cheers!

Bill is a pro! We had a session for my LinkedIn profile picture. He had all the time in the world to make sure I'm happy with the results. As a bonus, at the end of the session he even took some pictures with my wife (who came with me to the session).
Picture is now on my LinkedIn profile and I'm a happy customer. Thank you Bill!

I hired Bill to do a photo session for me, as I have always been wanting to get professional photographs done for myself. He arrived early to the set location, waited on me as I was running late due to some emergent issues, and he was very understanding and patient. Then he took some amazing pictures of me with 3-4 outfit changes, was very accommodating, and was able to capture so many different pictures of me in many different scenes, backgrounds, was open to ideas and on top of everything, he really enjoyed taking many different pictures with me without getting tired, which allowed me to be myself. This allowed me to be more in the moment, despite when lot was going on in my mind. He took over 300 amazing pictures with most of great quality. I highly recommend him for any photo shoot.

We hired Bill for our daughter's 4th birthday party with 60+ guests and we were very happy with his service. Bill arrived early to make sure he knew the areas that needed to take pictures. He was very friendly and flexible throughout the process. He was able to capture lots of fun and precious moments - kids playing at petting zoo and riding the pony, the fairy lady performing the magic show and balloon twisting, adults chatting and grilling...At the end we received hundreds of beautiful pictures of the event for us to look at for many years to come. We will definitely keep Bill on top of our list for the next event and highly recommend him as an excellent on-location photographer.

Bill did an awesome job shooting pictures of my boyfriend surfing! It was foggy conditions and it was hard to keep track of my boyfriend in the water, so I was thinking we'd be lucky to get a couple of good photos. Bill sent us nearly 100 photos later that day that were great quality! Even though these were great, he also offered to come out another time so we could get drone footage (since it had been too foggy to get footage with the drone). Overall, I would definitely recommend Bill for any of your needs even if it's difficult conditions. Bill will be able to do it! Also, he is easy to communicate with and is prompt and flexible.

Dear William,
We would like to take this opportunity to express our sincere thanks for the efforts and your interactive participation in our recent seminar held at the Hilton Union Square, San Francisco. You were outstanding and we really appreciate all your help.
We were told by many of our clients as well as our management that Axens suite was by far one of the best during this seminar. That would not have been possible without your extended efforts and helping to make this be one of the most entertaining experiences for our guests. You did more than we anticipated and it reflected in our attendance. Thank you again for taking extra time to assist in getting the entire photo’s done with such perfection and making that adorable video. We were very impressed.
So thank you again for your participation, it was greatly appreciated and would highly recommend you for other events.
Sincerely,

"We had Bill shoot our son's first birthday party on January 31, 2015. He did an amazing job at that. He arrived well ahead of the scheduled time, familiarized himself with the place and people, discussed and understood our expectations. He covered all the guests that arrived and special moments of our family too. He captured some lively, candid shots of our son. He also shot a small surprise video and shared it with us, which we'll cherish for good. And, he was very patient and cooperative, even though we held him up clicking some pics beyond the time we agreed upon. He was prompt in providing the digital copies. He was thoroughly professional, while adding a personal touch to the event. This feedback has been long due. We definitely and highly recommend him, as his tag line aptly says Photo for any Occasion."

Amazing and professional service.
Bill was very professional and punctual. Before the event, he called a couple of times to make sure we were all on the same page and everything was all set. On the day of the event, he arrived really early to set up and make sure everything was in order before our guests started arriving. In addition, he worked with us on the price which was very helpful for us because all the photographers we talked to did not want to work with us on the price. Will definitely work with him again on our next event.

I was not comfortable taking photos in the past but I recently lost a lot of weight and was more comfortable about my image so I decided to have a professional photographer take new shots. I hired Bill to take outdoor photos of me to update my photo base for friends and family. I was skeptical at first because I wasn't sure how I'd feel about the photos once done.
However, Bill was great to work with and he made me feel comfortable taking photos in public places with spectators. He also allowed me to view his photos as he was taking them to ensure I was receiving a product that I would approve or could ask for something different. He was very flexible and adaptable to switching gears by providing a service that I expected as a customer.
Not only did he walk for miles around Santa Cruz with me to find the perfect outdoor spot to take photos (we started at 10:00 am and got in over 10,000 steps before Noon when we ended), he provided a professional and expertise service by ensuring the photo exposure was correct and placing me in good locations with fun and/or serious poses/expressions. He was a real trooper and did not complain about the excessive walking plus he shot some great photos at the ocean and the Monarch Butterfly trail at Natural Bridges. I would hire Bill again and will also refer him to my friends and family.
Thank you, Bill, for a great photography day!

Bill,
This is an absolute pleasure to work with. He took the time to get to know us and what we were looking for in the pictures for a modeling portfolio for my teen daughter. Bill was able to open my daughters personality up no problem to get the perfect photos. Still shots are not always easy to get a natural look, yet the picture look as though she didn't know a photographer was even present. Bill is easy to work with, a master behind a lens, and very conscious of lighting and special affects to create unique pictures. I loved that he shared his passion of photography and even gave helpful advice on when we take our own photos.
We received a huge selection of photos to choose from and a beautiful delivery on a personalized CD.
I would recommend him to anybody who wants a photographer that not only takes amazing pictures, but also has fun while doing it.

Bill did an excellent job taking my wedding photos. He was very professional and
my family loves how he works.
When my husband and I went to take our cover pictures for our CD, he made the experience very comfortable.
I would recommend Bill Young if you have any photos you need. The price was good, in my budget, which was something we were worried about. He is an excellent photographer.
