Choosing Xiaoxiao as our wedding photographer without a doubt, one of the best decisions we made for our special day. Right from the start, her energy made everything more fun, from planning to the actual photo shoot.
She took the time to really get to know us, which made our photos feel special and personal.
Xiaoxiao knows the city hall inside out, so we got to take pictures in all the best spots without wasting any time. The photos turned out amazing. They were exactly what we wanted: they had a film-like look and captured real, candid moments of our day.
She was also super quick to show us photos, giving us a sneak peek within 24 hours of the wedding. And when I asked to get all the photos earlier than planned for our anniversary, she made it happen.
We'd recommend Xiaoxiao to anyone looking for a wedding photographer. She's professional, talented, and really cares about making your day special.

Xiao is more than just a photographer; she's an artist. With a background in Art & Design myself, I sought someone who could translate our beloved moments into mesmerizing, timeless expressions, and Xiao delivered effortlessly.
Her aesthetic, reminiscent of film, captured the essence of our day perfectly.
Her ability to capture natural motion and mood is unparalleled. Every photo feels alive, telling a story beyond the moment captured. Xiao's attention to detail and timely communication made the entire process seamless, and her guidance during the shoot ensured that every pose felt natural and authentic.
I wouldn't hesitate to book Xiao again for future sessions and wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone seeking to capture their moments beautifully. Thank you, Xiao, for your incredible talent and passion. We are forever grateful.

Xiao's photography style is exactly the vintage, light French style I wanted - sophisticated, textured, and not cliché! We were so lucky to have found her to take our marriage registration photos. She communicated with us multiple times before the shoot to ensure everything went flawlessly. The city hall was crowded that day, but she managed to take satisfying photos at all the locations in an orderly manner. Moreover, Xiao has a strong ability to evoke emotions and capture candid moments; the final photos were even better than I imagined. I can't recommend her enough. More...

Highly recommend Xiao as your photographer. She is a very passion photographer. Me, my husband, and my family were all enjoyed the time she was taking photos for us. During the wedding, there were a lot of unexpected moments, but she adapted very well and made my day wonderful. More...

It was my first time hiring a professional photographer and I'm so glad that I worked with Xiao.
Xiao was my civil wedding photographer at San Francisco City Hall.
She is kind, patient, sweet, and professional during the entire process, including the prep video calls and the session.
It was a crowded day at the city hall, but Xiao managed to take us to all the places we discussed and captured so many fun and special moments. When I was a little tired from wearing my heels and gowns, Xiao suggested to takes some photos with me sitting down, which I think is very sweet and considerate. She is definitely very professional. Thank you so much!

Xiao was awesome to work with and the final product was more than I could ever wish for! We were looking for a last minute photographer for our SF city hall civil ceremony and we were so glad we found her. She was very professional from the initial video call and made the whole process a breeze. In addition to suggesting all the good spots to photograph inside of city hall, she also gave us tips for poses throughout the session. The best part was her ability to make you feel at ease in front of the camera. Look no further if you are looking for a editorial vibe for your photos! We will definitely be returning for any future photography needs! More...

My partner and I LOVE the photos Xiao took for our San Francisco city hall ceremony!!! Xiao is talented, experienced, easy-going, detailed-oriented. We talked in depth before the day about the vision and what we are looking, and she delivered so much more than what I expected. My partner and I were definitely a little camera shy, but Xiao was able to patiently guide us and we were able to get more comfortable. Her experience shooting in the city hall made the entire process so much easier and smooth as well. All my friends love the photos as well, can not be happier how it all turned out. More...

I had the pleasure of working with Xiao for our mini ceremony in SF City Hall, and I couldn't be happier with the experience.
She was incredibly responsible and communicative, making sure to always keep our preferences in mind throughout the process. Not only did she help us prepare for the ceremony by reminding us of important details, but she also made sure to capture every important moment beautifully.
I highly recommend Xiao to anyone looking for a skilled photographer who truly cares about their clients. Xiao, thank you so much for helping us capture such a special moment!

Xiao did my graduation photo 4 years ago and my pre-wedding photo shoot last week. Both experiences were super relaxing and the photos turned out to be amazing!
I got a lot of compliments!
Before the photo shoot, I really like how she brainstormed with me on my dress / style I want / props we can use / location we want to hit. During the session, Xiao guided my fiancé and myself and came up with different posing ideas. She also made us feel comfortable enough to be intimate and to be ourselves. Post the photo shoot, she had a super quick turnaround.
I would highly recommend her as she is probably the most reliable photographer I have seen.
