Quotes and Highlights
Nick is great!! He was so easy to work with. He was on time and helped so much. We had a wedding on the fly in SF and he helped place everyone and just help the event go smoothly. He was professional, fun and very reasonable on pricing. He has great style and I enjoyed the website he posted the photos to and the CD copy for ourselves.

Where do I begin?!?!? I can't say enough about Nick!!! His work ethic is exceptional as well as the quality of his work! He recently took some pictures of me....and I felt 100% comfortable with him. He really helped me to open up and relax in front of the camera. All the pictures came out GREAT!!! I had a hard time picking out the photos to print....they were that good! As a matter of fact, I couldn't believe it was me in the pictures!! =] Not only one of the nicest people you'll ever meet, he's very accommodating and professional!

Nick photographed a friend's wedding. I found NIck to be incredibly patient, accommodating, interested, thorough and unique. He was easy to work with, a great value and blended in with the event such that he was able to capture the mood, the emotion and the energy. I would absolutely recommend Nick!

We used Nick on 9.13.08 for our wedding at the Lake Merriitt Sailboat House. He did an AMAZING job. He was very reasonably priced and professional. He really managed to capture the beauty of our friends and family. He was also very flexible and easy to work with. He totally lived up to all of our expectations. And he found beautiful spots to take the photos in Lake Merritt park. I totally recommend him!!!!

I live in New York City, and when I was in Oakland, Nick took the best professional photos I've ever had, and I was a professional model for a while! He has by far the best use of lighting, he's great at directing to get the right pose and facial expression, and his speed in having proofs to review is unmatched. His studio is easy to find near a freeway exit but up in the hills, and it's very open and comfy. He has a variety of backdrops, and he had some good tricks to help me with my tendency to blink with flashes. I've also seen his portfolio on his web site, and I was really amazed by how he is uniquely able to catch details and unposed scenes that reveal a lot of character. I'm sure his photos have helped with my business, and I would gladly recommend him. I have included two of his headshots on my profile

Nick is terrific to work with - adaptable, easygoing and professional to a T! Others have already extolled his ability to capture weddings, but I wanted to let people know he is also great at portrait photography and headshots for actors. I hired him to take professional headshots of 15 of my actor clients and every single one of them got a variety of pictures that were truly outstanding. So many of his shots were so great that the only complaint any of my clients had was their trouble choosing the best one! Literally over half of the pictures he took could have been used with no reservations or retouching necessary. Along with his ability to capture your best look, and the ease of working with him, he is amazingly reasonably priced. I would unhesitatingly recommend him the next time you have a need for ANY type of professional photography.

Nick is a great photographer. He is everything you need in a photographer for whatever event you're trying to capture. I had him do a friend's wedding and the pictures were so intense, he captured stuff I never thought possible. Angles and moments of love and happiness that were so unique. He was on time, blended nicely with the crowd, and didn't get in the way yet managed to capture every moment. And he's extremely reasonably priced. I will definitely use him in the future.

Nick Lostracco did a wonderful job in capturing me in pregnancy photos- a week before giving birth to Aaralyn! And I actually didn't look bloated! He also took our all time favorite photo of Aaralyn when she was nine months old. He has taken photos of the entire family- with our Pug- and they are photos we will always cherish. If you have significant events in your life that you want captured, Nick is THE photographer that you need to go to!

Nick Lostracco is an amazing photographer. He was recommended by an art director friend for my wedding at San Francisco City Hall in June. Through his artful photography Nick provided a perspective on our our big day that we'd have otherwise missed. It was thrilling witnessing those moments after the excitement of our big day wore off and the last of cake was eaten. Mark (my husband) and treasure our photos.
Best of all, Nick's a nice guy. He blended in perfectly with our guests at the ceremony & reception to capture memories for us we'll always treasure.
I hope I never get married again, so having Nick there to capture a perfect day was invaluable. Trust him with your biggest day and and you'll be happy you did.
