Alison Yin Wedding Photography Blog bio picture

Welcome to my Blog!

Hi!  I'm Alison Yin, and I'm a photographer based in Oakland, CA.  I grew up in Los Angeles, and I frequently travel throughout California photographing people and events.  I love traveling to new places and meeting people.

Photography is a way of life for me - I make pictures almost everyday.  I love capturing natural moments and the essence of personalities, and I use my documentary roots to tell the story of your wedding.  Please visit my wedding portfolio here.

You can see more of my work by viewing my editorial portfolio here.

I also share a photojournalism blog with my partner Adm Golub here.

I've created this blog so I can have another platform to share more photos and wedding related resources.  I love feedback so please feel free to leave comments!

For the second and third parts of Reshma and Jimmy’s engagement session, we shot in San Francisco at McCovey Cove and Baker Beach for the fantastic views of the Golden Gate Bridge.  These two are big Giants (and sports in general) fans – Jimmy and his dad even have their own cement block showing their...

Reshma + Jimmy Engagement, Part 1

We had a lot of fun with Reshma and Jimmy.  I actually knew Jimmy from working with him at the Oakland Tribune a couple of years ago so it was great to catch up and to meet Reshma, who is wonderful!  We actually ended up doing three different engagement shoots so check back later in...

Ginny + Sep Engagement

Ginny and Sep’s engagement session marks the start of our 2010 wedding season, which is shaping up to be a BUSY one (only a few more spots left)!  Woohoo!  We had a great time photographing these two in San Francisco AND lucked out with a beautiful day!  Sep prefaced the session by letting us know...
