Named one of the 10 best event photographers in San Francisco by Peerspace

“Willy Johnson, AKA breakbeatbilly, has been considered one of the very best San Francisco event photographers since he first launched his biz in 2010. He’s an incredibly skilled documentary photographer, and he simply loves to show his own unique point of view with his camera. With each new event he takes on, he finds new reservoirs of inspiration and energy. His photos are bright, romantic, and tell stories of relationships and individuals. You’ll love working with breakbeatbilly.” - Peerspace

“Willy is amazing! My wife & I wanted to do a photo shoot in Sausalito & we were lucky to find him. We had so much fun walking around different parts of Saus & taking some pics. Willy helped us with the path & pushed us to take some hilarious photos. Not only did we have an amazing time but the photos turned out unbelievable. This will for sure be a weekend to remember for us! You will not be disappointed if you decide to work with Willy.” - Eric

“Willy is the best photographer we work with in the entire business. His eye and attention to detail, is unparalleled. He knows where "the shot" is, and knows how to get it.

I have been working with him for many years now, and will continue to work with him for many many more!” - Louis

“Willy is hands down the most creative and thoughtful photographer that I've ever worked with. He has an incredible ability to capture moments so, to say the least, I was very happy with the photos he did for our wedding and engagement photos. So many people were telling me that they can feel the emotion through the images and I couldn't agree more. To boot, he is hilarious which makes the experience fun!” - Tracey

“Willy is an amazingly talented photographer! He captures the essence/spirit of those he's photographing and has the ability to put people at ease. My husband and I worked with Willy for our engagement photos AND for our wedding day. He went above and beyond for both shoots! Willy is professional, kind, flexible, and accommodating. He really knows what he's doing when it comes to photography and more so, he really gets people. He communicated very effectively during the planning stages and we're so happy we chose to work with him! Hire this man and you won't be disappointed!” - Martina
