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!

Introducing: PHOTOSHELTER

During the wedding “off-season,” I’ve spent a significant amount of time researching new products and methods to make my business flow more smoothly and provide the best client experience possible. That said, I’m happy to introduce Photoshelter, which is my new site for online ordering and proofing galleries. I’ve actually been using Photoshelter since 2006,...
