About

Ethan Liu Photography specializes in San Francisco City Hall weddings, intimate weddings, and full wedding day photography throughout the San Francisco Bay Area and Napa Valley.

My approach is a blend of natural moments, elegant portraits, and thoughtful storytelling. I focus on creating images that feel genuine, timeless, and full of connection while also paying close attention to light, composition, and the atmosphere of the day.

Whether you are planning a simple City Hall ceremony or a full wedding celebration, I aim to make the photography experience feel easy, comfortable, and well guided from start to finish. I love documenting both the big moments and the quieter in-between moments that make each wedding unique.

Based in the Bay Area, I photograph weddings at San Francisco City Hall, Napa Valley, and other beautiful locations throughout Northern California.

Ethan is a phenomenal photographer!

Ethan is AMAZING!! We hired Ethan for our wedding back in February! In the midst of the pandemic, Ethan was extremely thoughtful, kind, flexible and fun to work with! His communication is amazing! He constantly kept us updated and a week before the wedding when things were stressful, he reminded us with very kind words to remember to enjoy our day. On the wedding day, Ethan was PHENOMENAL! If I can give a Ethan 1000 stars I would in a heartbeat! He walked us through what to do, and worked incredibly well with other vendors! He definitely made it a day to remember! When we received the photos we were in absolute awe! Wow, Ethan's work was incredible!!! For some of the shots we honestly had no idea how he even got them! He truly blended in with our family and friends! I honestly am obsessed with our wedding photos, Ethan did such a WONDERFUL job! My friends and family love how the photos turned out too! I can not thank Ethan enough! He made this entire process extremely easy! He truly cares about his clients and truly want them to be happy! I definitely recommend Ethan for all of your photography needs!

The Best of the Best!!

Ethan is the BEST photographer in Bay Area, HANDSDOWN!
He took care of our engagement photos, which turned out to be PERFECT and so much more than we expected, and of course, we had to ask him for our wedding photos. They all look so magical and dreamy (all you could ask for, really, for your wedding photos).
He was always willing to accommodate your needs and was very much client-oriented. He also made us feel very comfortable during the shooting, so that the pictures come out natural, not so awkward.
He is just a genuine, kind-hearted, and down-to-earth person.
We also received some complimentary gifts from him, which were AHHHHHMAZING, and we know for sure that we we will be keeping these forever, remembering our best day of our lives!
He was the perfect person for our once-in-a-lifetime day.
Thank you Ethan for all your beautiful work!
Call him now to book an appointment! Otherwise, you will be missing out! ;P

Prewedding Photos

Ethan is amazing!!! I get so many compliments on our prewedding photos to this day! It has been almost 3 years since our wedding, yet I still have the photos plastered all over my house and social media pages. They're TOO GOOD not to share.

Where to begin? Well the initial consultation was quick and painless. My husband and I are incredibly indecisive people, yet Ethan was able to give us choices that satisfied everything we could've imagined.

The experience was amazing. We went to four different locations in the span of one day, each location being unique and equally beautiful. My husband and I are also very VERY shy people. Yet Ethan was able to somehow bring out the best of us. (Want to know what it's like being a celebrity? I would highly recommend doing prewedding pictures. I remember a little girl asked to take a picture with the princess. So cute! Many other people congratulated us during the shoots.)

Other than Ethan's professional experience with photo-taking, he is also an amazing editor. I'm definitely on the rounder side, so I asked Ethan to help shave off some pounds. I was so worried that I would end up looking unnatural, but I also didn't want to look like an overweight bride. Let me tell you, I COULD NOT be any happier with how the photos turned out! I look like the best me! Hubby also looking hella fineeeee. Everything was more than I could ever hope for.

Thus, if you're shopping around for a photographer, look no further! He got packages for all budgets. I promise he will be the best decision you'll make for your wedding.

Ethan was my photographer for my wedding late August 2014. He was very accommodating, and very professional. The wedding venue was an outdoor location during sunset hours, therefore, the light changed rapidly, very beautiful but hard to capture. Ethan was able to capture the most beautiful moment during the sunset and showed me the pictures he took, they were breath-taking, exactly what i wanted. Again, late into the night, when it was dark outside, I really wanted some pictures by the lighted gazebo, he was able to capture the magnificent gazebo at night again. He was creative, professional and affordable. I'd recommend him for my friends future photography needs.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
