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!

Mary + Will in Berkeley, CA

Mary and Will live in Los Angeles but came back up to the Bay Area (where they’re both from) for their wedding in July.  They were married in the Berkeley Hills at the Brazilian Room, which is so serene and beautiful, it’s hard to believe city chaos exists just 15 minutes away.  We headed back...

Arohi’s Puja

On the fourth of July, I had the opportunity to photograph a new event!  Parents Joy and Tanu celebrated their daughter Arohi’s first time eating solid food with a puja, a Hindu ceremony that involved lots of offerings, chanting and praying.  I photographed the ceremony at their home amidst close family and friends.  I love...

A New Album!

I’m so excited to introduce a new album into my collection!  The book is completely different than the other two albums I offer as it has more of a modern coffee table book feel.  It’s a hardback book with photos printed directly onto the pages with bright archival inks and matte (or glossy) pages.  These...
