Stanford Succulent Garden Engagement Session // Elana + Ari

Alison Yin May 16, 2019

It was a real treat to photograph Elana and Ari’s engagement session. For starters, they introduced me to a gorgeous succulent garden on Stanford’s campus, and secondly, they were so easy to chat with and photograph it almost didn’t feel like work. ; )

Alison Yin May 9, 2019

We’re pretty excited to share Natasha and Apurva’s summer Castlewood wedding that not so coincidentally is also being featured on Maharani Weddings today! In my experience, Indian weddings are pretty unmatched in color and energy, and Natasha and Apurva’s wedding certainly lived up to this bar.

San Francisco + Marin Headlands Engagement // Jamie + Ryan

Alison Yin May 2, 2019

I had such a great time with Jamie and Ryan during their engagement session. We started by walking around their neighborhood without any real agenda, which is always one of my favorite things to do during portrait sessions.

Sacramento Greek Orthodox Wedding // Stefanie + Brian

Alison Yin April 25, 2019

Well, Stefanie and Brian’s one year anniversary is just around the corner, this Sunday to be exact, so it’s about time that we share their “Big Fat Greek Wedding.” There were so many parts of this wedding that made it a little extra special for Stefanie and Brian: they were married in the church Stefanie grew up going to, the band used to play at her father/daughter dances, she wore her grandmother’s wedding shoes, Brian and his friends made a feast to fuel the dance party, the list goes on.

Yesterday was a tough one navigating multiple cancellations and postponements.  Lining up all the same vendors for new dates is a logistical nightmare and we are doing our very best to accommodate our clients as much as possible. 
In case this i Hi 👋🏽! Remember me?! I’ve taken a (much needed) break from social media so I’m popping in to say hey!  Consistency is definitely my number one problem when it comes to posting and when things like the election and coronavirus happen soc Wowowowowowowow!  We’re definitely still recovering from our whirlwind 72 hours in Florida for Jamie and Ryan’s incredible wedding but what a wedding it was!  Or rather, dance party.  You guys, there was SO.MUCH.DANCING.  I guess I should These two are getting hitched this weekend!  Pretty pumped to be in Florida for their wedding! 😎☀️ #alisonyinweddings Such a fun portrait session with Amber and Sean. They had a break between their ceremony and reception so we had plenty of time to stop off at a beautiful park to take some photos.
#alisonyinweddings One of my favorite frames from Amber and Sean’s wedding a couple of weeks ago.  Great light + color + framing + her smile = 👌🏽. We’ve lagged on doing story sneaks for our last few weddings but it’s no longer the holidays and it&rs
