Vivi Lin Photography

into our day. We had a traditional Nepalese wedding, and they went above and beyond to research our culture, ensuring they understood every aspect of the ceremony. Planning a wedding from California to Hawaii without ever seeing the venue was a challenge, but their expertise made the process so much easier. They even took time to visit the venue ahead of the big day to scout the perfect spots, which really spoke to their dedication. It was totally worth bringing them out to Hawaii! On the day of, they made us and our families feel so welcome and comfortable. It genuinely felt like having friends by our side. Despite our wedding being 9 hours long, their happiness and energy never faded. They even came prepared with a collage of inspiration pictures to ensure our poses complemented our outfits.

hroughout all the prep leading up to it. She patiently guided us through the planning process, helped us feel confident with timelines and poses, and was always just a message away when we had questions. On the wedding day, she truly went above and beyond. In the middle of a hot and hectic day, she was constantly checking in on us, helping with touch-ups, and making sure we looked and felt our best. We’re both camera shy, but her kind words, gentle instructions, and calm energy helped us relax and enjoy every moment. She captured all the big, emotional moments and the small, quiet ones — the ones we didn’t even know we’d want to remember. We couldn’t have asked for a better person to document our day. Thank you for giving us memories we’ll treasure forever.

t photography, but about each client’s unique story and desires for their experience. She has a deep understanding of wedding planning that allows her to ensure you’re able to enjoy the day while also capturing the pictures you want. I am extremely picky about photography. After reaching out to 30 wedding photographers and interviewing 10, I knew right away when I started talking to Vivi that she was exceptional. Her photos are timeless, beautiful, balanced, and genuine. They look like fine art while also capturing the feeling of the moment. I was impressed by how she not only had an artistic eye, but is also very thorough and organized (speaking straight to my Type A heart). Her understanding of timelines, lighting, shot lists, and event flow is unmatched. Vivi is extremely professional—working quickly to share sneak peeks and edits, responding promptly, offering guidance and support, and always listening to feedback. Multiple vendors even commented on how great she was to work with. While some photographers have a “you get what you get” attitude, Vivi maintains her own distinct portfolio style while also dedicating time to understand your lighting, color, style, vibe, and editing preferences. I highly recommend booking her for both engagement and wedding photos. Not only will you get amazing photos, but you’ll also get comfortable shooting with her—which is genuinely so fun. I don’t think I’ve ever had more fun on a photoshoot than with Vivi. :) She even brought a veil and flowers to our shoot—just because she thought it would enhance the vision. That’s the kind of thoughtfulness she brings to every detail. Most of all, Vivi is genuinely a kind, funny, energetic, and empathetic person. You can tell she loves what she does through her photos as well as the positive energy she brings to every event. I honestly feel like I made a friend just as much as I found the best photographer I possibly could have. Thank you so much, Vivi and team!

ring our introduction call, we knew that she was the photographer we were looking for. Prior to our wedding, she asked detailed questions to get to know what kinds of photos we were looking for, our outfits, and our hairstyles etc. Vivi also walked through the timeline in detail with us, making sure that there was enough time to capture all the shots we wanted. On our wedding day, Vivi was very patient at guiding our poses and facial expressions. We were happy to see that the photos turned out to be stunning! We highly recommend Vivi :)
