Sydney Jai Photography

We had such a wonderful time with Sydney, who was a joy to work with! We really wanted to get sunset photos at Sutro Baths and because it was foggy that day, she proactively offered to find another time for the remainder of our session. Thanks so much for your flexibility and capturing such lovely photos of our engagement!

Sydney is a talented and thoughtful photographer who did an incredible job capturing our engagement photos and backyard wedding! She is down for an adventure! For our engagement shoot, my then fiancé and I took her to Land’s End in SF. We had so much fun hiking through the forestry and running across the beach! I expressed my concern to her about the lighting the day prior not knowing what to expect, but Sydney did an amazing job capturing the warm tones that I love. We used her pictures for our wedding invitations and received many compliments on the beautiful pictures. Sydney would frequently check in before the wedding day, making sure I was stress-free and had everything in order. A week before the wedding, we met via FaceTime to go over the day and the photo opportunities in the backyard. Sydney wanted to make sure she had as much info as possible going into the wedding to be as prepared as possible. She also asked if I had any special requests for photos, wanting to make sure she didn’t miss any moments I wanted to be captured. Day of, Sydney and her assistant were on top of everything. From helping me get ready, to staging/posing, and even making sure we ate and truly enjoyed our day (which we did!!) They both seamlessly gathered and posed family members young and old. We got many wonderful family photos that we will cherish forever :) (this was something I wanted to make we captured). Aside from the awesome photos, Sydney went above and beyond, making sure everything was perfect, my make up was on point, I was calm and comfortable...etc. She is such a sweet and warm person, my whole family loved her and commented on how great of a job she did (it’s not easy rounding up tons of family members)! Long story short, I was elated with our wedding photos! They turned out perfectly and truly captured the essence of our super fun day! All my friends commented on how beautiful the pictures came out. Sydney and her partner did an amazing job at photographing not only the big memorable moments, but also the small details usually get overlooked. She is a pleasure to work with and is very affordable! She is now our go-to photographer and a great friend! I recommend Sydney to anyone who wants their special day to be captured at its true essence. She’ll make it happen!
