Oahu Honolulu Pre-Wedding Photography｜Nicole & Louis

As I opened the photos after returning from Hawaii, I was captivated by a series of beautiful pictures. It made me sigh in awe – Hawaii truly is a wedding paradise!

You'll find lush greenery that's unique to Hawaii, the soothing blue of the ocean, and the mesmerizing collision of waves against rocks. There are majestic hills, cliffs, and the enchanting sunsets on the west coast that you won't easily forget.

I've traveled to many places, but Hawaii has carved a special place in my heart. It's not just about the breathtaking landscapes; it's also the rich culinary scene and the warm hospitality of the locals.

Hawaii is renowned as a top destination for travel photography across America, especially for those who adore island scenery. If you're considering a visit in January, it's considered the off-peak season. This means hotel prices are relatively lower, and there are fewer tourists around. Whether you're at the airport or exploring the attractions, your experience is likely to be much smoother.

However, there's one thing to keep in mind – January in Hawaii often comes with rain. It's advisable to carry an umbrella, even when the weather forecast predicts sunshine. Especially if you're closer to the mountains, you might spot looming dark clouds. Sudden showers can catch you off guard, so be vigilant about the movement of these clouds and adjust your route accordingly when taking photos.

The best photography route is to move from the east coast to the west, allowing you to capture the enchanting sunsets on the western side. Hawaii's beauty is so captivating that you might find it hard to leave. I hope you can create wonderful memories in this unforgettable place.

In the world of wedding photography, every story is unique, and every connection is special. Two years ago, Xiaoxiao discovered our work on Instagram and wanted us to capture her Hawaiian wedding. Unfortunately, we were booked, but destiny had other plans. Despite the distance, we stayed friends, and their move to Seattle brought us closer.

Recently, we had the opportunity to photograph Xiaoxiao and Ray's anniversary in Seattle. The city's stunning scenery added magic to their love story, making every photo radiate their happiness.

We're grateful for Xiaoxiao and Ray's unwavering support and the beautiful friendship that grew between us. As photographers, these moments are what make our work truly meaningful.

The sprawling campus, with its lush gardens, and stunning architecture, was a picturesque setting that added even more charm to their love story. Washington University's beauty made it an ideal location for capturing their special moments, reaffirming the notion that Seattle truly offers a diverse range of breathtaking venues for wedding and anniversary photography.

We feel blessed to have been a part of their journey and eagerly look forward to capturing more cherished moments in the future.

So, here's to Xiaoxiao and Ray – may your love continue to flourish, and may the memories we've created together be a testament to the enduring power of friendship and love. Thank you for letting us be a part of your story. ❤️

SF Cityhall Wedding ｜ Warmicy & Bonnie

"Mr. Qian Zhongshu eloquently compared marriage to a fortress in his work 'Fortress Besieged,' noting the desire of those outside to enter and those inside to exit. Previously, I harbored fears, anxieties, and uncertainties about marriage. However, today, embracing a sense of calm and anticipation, I willingly step into the fortress of marriage with you. It's not my bravery that guides me, but rather your love and unwavering commitment, providing me with the courage to pursue happiness." - Bonnie

"At this momentous juncture, we are poised to elevate our love to the realm of marriage. While our understanding of this institution may still be evolving, I am profoundly grateful, dear, for your willingness to navigate this journey with me." - Warmicy

Listening to their heartfelt vows, I found myself deeply moved by their story—a testament to their enduring love through seven years of navigating the challenges of a long-distance relationship. Now, basking in the sweetness of their union, they fondly reflect on the storms weathered together, evoking tears of joy.

Capturing the ceremony for this erudite and refined couple, both graduates of Harvard University and the University of Southern California, was a stroke of luck. The day unfolded under exceptionally beautiful sunlight, capturing a magical moment at City Hall. The bride, Bonnie, donned in a white gown, gracefully danced in the backlight, creating a mesmerizing tableau.

Special thanks to Warmicy and Bonnie for their trust and choosing us. From the meticulous pre-event preparations to the conclusion of the shoot, the entire process was a joyous experience.

Sequoyah Country Club ｜ Carmen & Johnny

Despite the challenging weather with continuous rain, the final wedding of 2023 unfolded as an exceptionally heartwarming and romantic event, adorned in its elegant white and green theme. 💕 The initial plan was to conduct the ceremony outdoors on the lawn. However, due to rain, it was eventually shifted indoors

Heartfelt congratulations to the delightful couple, Carmen and Johnny! We sincerely appreciate your choice in selecting our team to capture your pre-wedding and wedding day moments. It's always a joy collaborating with both of you. Carmen's enchanting singing at the reception left a lasting impression, and we thoroughly enjoyed witnessing your captivating first dance!

A special thank you extends to all the dedicated vendors who worked tirelessly in the rain. 👏🏻 Your efforts contributed to overcoming the challenges, and the outcome was nothing short of perfect. Congratulations to the newlyweds, and may your journey of love be filled with joy and blessings!

“We had the pleasure working with Vivi and her team twice within the past year and had such a wonderful experience. Vivi took our pre-wedding pictures, our family portrait with both of our dogs, and we already have a third session booked for the end of the year. Would 100% recommend Vivi and her team to anyone that is looking to take pictures by a well experienced photographer! Vivi and her team is not only well experienced in taking pre-wedding and wedding pictures, but also family portraits, maternity photos, new born photos, and much more.

We knew Vivi was the one we were looking for the moment we stumbled upon her work on social media. Vivi’s team is very experienced and well organized. They are an one stop wedding photography studio, meaning they can help you take care of sourcing wedding gowns & dresses, suits, flowers, makeup artist, you name it! Not to mention, Vivi’s an international award winning photographer and has taken pre-wedding and wedding pictures for hundreds of couples.

We had a 30 minute consultation with Vivi  before setting the date for our pre-wedding pictures. During that initial meeting, we briefly discussed our expectations for the pictures and Vivi was able to provide some useful feedback about the locations of the pictures and how long the session should be. After that, we were sent a small assignment to fill out some basic information about ourselves and our preferences for Vivi to have a better understanding of what we want and don’t want in those pictures. Questions included things like our preferences on the flower bouquet, preferred makeup/hair style, picture style (classic, vintage, modern, and etc), any poses we want to be doing in the pictures, and etc.

Because Vivi and her team were so organized prepared, we were able to show up on our photoshoot day without having to worry about anything. Mind you, my hubby and I are both camera shy and had no idea what we were doing. Vivi and her team made everything so easy for us. All we had to do was show up and follow her guidance the whole time. She gave a lot of guidance on poses and our expressions on camera. Btw, the pictures turned out AMAZING. Worth every penny and we can not thank Vivi and her team enough for bringing our vision and expectations to life. Very professional team and would highly recommended to anyone that is looking for a professional photographer that will pay attention to all the little details and be there every step of the process.”

San Mateo Japanese Tea Garden | Ashley & Alex

It was a honor to have documented a Bay Area Chinese wedding of Ashley and Alex at HL Peninsula Restaurant in South San Francisco.

The wedding starts with the traditional tea ceremony 🍵 with elders and relatives, the lively and harmonious ambiance among family members set a tone of joy. The event embodied a legacy passed down through generations and showcased the unity of two families.

The Sunset photos near the venue at the San Mateo Japanese Garden turned out to be exceptionally breathtaking. With the unexpectedly brilliant sunlight, this Japanese garden produced remarkably picturesque scenes.

The wedding resumes with a banquet styled reception, a very common Asian styled reception with family styled dining.

A heartfelt appreciation goes to our lovely couple, whose genuine affection and cooperation translated into effortlessly beautiful photos, many of which required minimal post-processing, allowing for a swift creation of preview images.

Being part of Ashley and Alex's momentous day was a true honor. Congratulations to the newlyweds! 🥂🥳
