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!

Jamie + Steve in Yorba Linda, CA

I met Jamie the last semester of senior year in high school, and although we only knew each other for half of a year before going our separate ways for college, we became close friends and have remained close throughout the years.  I played softball competitively for a good 12 years of my life, and...

Christy + Miguel Engagement

We started off Miguel and Christy’s engagement session at Lyon St. Steps in the Presdio before heading to Union Square for some urban and colorful photos.  The light was amazing throughout the entire shoot, and I especially fell in love with the Louis Vuitton store front that had tons of brightly colored lights (above photo)....
