Hi, I&rsquo;m Yin, a wedding photographer with a deep love for capturing authentic moments. Born in Taiwan and armed with a degree in Psychology, I&rsquo;ve always been fascinated by human behavior and emotions&mdash;something I bring into my photography. Whether it&rsquo;s a candid smile or a quiet glance, I&rsquo;m drawn to those fleeting moments that truly tell a story. I first picked up a camera in 2010, dabbling in all kinds of photography before discovering my passion for weddings in 2018. I remember editing my first engagement session, smiling without even realizing it, as I saw how beautifully emotion can be captured through a lens. When I'm not shooting weddings, you&rsquo;ll find me sipping a latte, enjoying chocolate ice cream, or dreaming of bungee jumping and seeing the Northern Lights.

About

I’ve tried to write this review over and over again, but words cannot describe how amazing Yin is. He really sets out to tell a story and completely nails it.

We had booked him for my engagement photos and from the beginning he takes the time to get to know you, your partner, and your vision. Even remembers the little details, for me it was that my favorite memory with my partner was waiting out the rain. It so happened that we had a rooftop photoshoot and it started raining on us, and he stayed out there in the rain to capture my new favorite moments. Everything just felt right.

I booked him for my small wedding ceremony and can’t wait to see the memories we create this time!

Yin is an incredibly talented photographer and a genuinely great human being. We had our engagement photos done by him, and couldn't be happier. I can't count the number of compliments we've gotten on them! Yin spent time site researching and gave us guidance on the best time and place for what we were looking for. Being that neither of us had any "modeling" experience, he did a great job putting our minds at ease and really captured the true essence of our love and connection.

Sasha & Adrian

From start to finish Yin remains the standard for professionalism, kindness, creativity and service second to none. On shoot days, he was top notch, performed exceedingly well and delivered a product well beyond what we could ever ask for.



He gives a three star Michelin experience and I firmly believe you will not be disappointed. Our friends and family are amazed at the photos and how beautiful they came out as well. Thanks again Yin for everything!

“Yin, we want your assistant to take a picture of you taking a picture of us.”
 Said one of my brides on our wedding planning call. Unique request, I thought.

“You shot all of our major life events. But we never got to see you in our photos. We want to see you in our wedding album. You are part of the journey. We want to remember you as our photographer.”

I got teary-eyed. 

From the surprise proposal, to surprise engagement party, to personal branding session, and to the engagement session, Y + N’s special day marked the 5th time we created art together in one year. 

The wedding was as much a celebration for Y + N as it was for me. As they got ready with whiskey shots in hand, exchanged vows under the palm trees, and danced the night away with loved ones, I savored the day moment by moment. I felt an immense amount of gratitude to my couples, who, amid the stress of wedding planning, 

Thank you for inviting me back to document your life. There is no greater honor. 

I strive to make sure you always feel seen, celebrated and beautiful. I want to create images and moments that tell a story, that will be cherished and passed down for generations.

I’m going to be blunt. I care about authentic emotions and genuine connections. If the emotion and intimacy feel right, I’m much less concerned about the perfect pose, location, or light.

I’m creating a story with and for you, and that is a huge honor.

I am not exactly a sentimental person. But as I sit here and bid farewell to 2023, l become teary-eyed. Flicking through these videos lets me relive the emotions and memories we shared together. 

This year —

I’ve met some incredibly inspirational and encouraging mentors whom have taught me invaluable lessons, whom I am blessed to call friends. 

I’ve made mistakes. I’ve panicked. And with some newly grown grey hair, I am still here. I’ve leveled up. 

My health took a toll. My friend jokingly said I should get a monthly IV injection membership, since I take it so often

And most importantly, y’all made 2023 an unforgettable chapter in my photography journey. 

Here’s to new stories and adventures together
