Vivi Lin Photography

nvisioned. Then we met over Zoom, and within that first meeting, I realized I had found someone who was just as organized and Type A as I am—and honestly, I was ecstatic. When I first reached out to Vivi, our wedding was still more than two years away, but I already knew I wanted to lock down our date with her because I didn’t want to risk having to find another photographer. Thankfully, she agreed, and I signed the contract that same week. We also scheduled a pre-wedding photoshoot, and by the end of that session, I knew without a doubt that I had chosen the right photographer. My husband and I are definitely not people who naturally know how to pose or make ourselves look good in photos, but Vivi made the entire process feel effortless. She seamlessly directed us, telling us exactly how to move and pose while somehow still making the whole experience fun and natural. My favorite direction from that day was, of course, “Sexy leg!”—which became Vivi’s way of reminding me exactly where my leg needed to go to get the perfect angle. And then we got the photos back. They were beyond anything we could have expected. They were so beautiful, and somehow she made two people who had no idea what they were doing in front of a camera look like we actually knew how to pose. Seeing those photos made us even more excited for our wedding because we already knew we were going to be in such good hands. Also, who needs Orangetheory when you have Vivi editing your photos?! Also, a little sidebar: Vivi is not only an incredible photographer, she could genuinely be a wedding coordinator too. She had her own detailed timeline for us, along with actual PowerPoint homework assignments to fill out with our inspiration photos, flat-lay ideas, wedding party information, vendor details, and basically anything else she could possibly need to know. As a fellow Type A person, I cannot explain how much I appreciated this. Our day went unbelievably smooth. Somehow, despite it being nearly a 20-hour day for my husband and me, we had so much fun and never even felt exhausted. Vivi’s infectious energy, professionalism, organization, and genuine excitement set the tone for the entire day. Everyone was riding that energy with her, and it made such a difference. She managed to keep everything moving while still making the experience feel fun, exciting, and completely natural. I truly could not have asked for a better person to capture one of the most important days of our lives. From trusting her enough to book her more than two years in advance, to our pre-wedding photos, the PowerPoint homework, the rehearsal critiques, “sexy leg,” and finally our wedding day itself—Vivi was so much more than just our photographer. She became such an important part of our entire wedding experience. Vivi, thank you for your patience, your energy, your attention to every tiny detail, and the incredible amount of work you put into making sure our day was everything we dreamed it would be. Thank you for making us feel comfortable, confident, and beautiful in front of the camera, and most importantly, for giving us the gift of being able to relive this day through your work for the rest of our lives. We are truly so grateful that we found you, and I would choose you all over again in a heartbeat.
