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!

STEPHANIE + TOM Engagement Party

Stephanie and Tom had a small engagement party at Tom’s parents’ beautiful home in Modesto, Calif., last weekend.  It rained all day and then let up in the late afternoon so that I had some really soft, beautiful light to work with throughout the party.  Tom and Stephanie will be getting married this summer in...

MONIQUE + GEORGE in Santa Ana, CA

I couldn’t be  happier that Monique and George were my first wedding of the season.  I’m always overcome with a bit of nervous excitement for the first wedding as I have a tendency to over-think and get butterflies from playing out in my mind how things can go wrong.  The silver-lining in this is that...
