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!

I love the leg-warmers and...

Cindy Chen

Here’s a break from the wedding photos…  I did a quick photo of my friend Cindy Chen, who is a real estate agent in Modesto (if anyone is thinking about buying a house in Modesto/Central Valley area, contact Cindy and she’ll make it happen).  We shot at golden hour (right before the sun goes down)...

Hayley + Leo in Tiburon and Fremont, CA

A few weeks ago, I had the opportunity to photograph Hayley and Leo’s wedding with fellow wedding photographer Larissa Cleveland.  The ceremony was held in Tiburon at Old St. Hilary’s Church, which was beautiful in its location and historic simplicity.  The ceremony perfectly matched its location, and it was a joy to photograph the happy...

The Guppy Photo Booth!

My cousin Stephanie (left) got married last weekend in Fullerton, Calif., and although I wasn’t able to take too many photos of the event since I was in the wedding, Adm and I did manage to set up a photo booth, which proved to be a blast!  My aunt made a special red crushed velvet...
