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!

Yen Yen + Davin in Novato, CA

Yen Yen and Davin were married more than a month ago (yes, I’m wayyy behind) at Stonetree Golf Club in Novato, and their day was quite an extravaganza!  We started with a Chinese tea ceremony at Yen Yen’s parents’ home in Oakland, then did a whirlwind tour of portraits throughout various spots in San Francisco,...

Truncale Family Portrait

I had the pleasure of photographing Michael, Amy and their one year old daughter Ava the other day.  Michael is a great photographer, with whom I’ve worked for the past few years, and so it was a joy to make pictures of his beautiful family!

Momo and Thay Thay

Momo was brave enough to be my first maternity session ever.  I actually met Momo a few years ago while working for the Oakland Tribune and we’ve kept in touch since so she was a pretty easy and familiar subject.  Her three year old son Thay Thay was also super fun to photograph and hang...
