About

I’m easy going, fun, sarcastic, and like to have fun when I’m shooting. Besides photography, I love nature, being outdoors, and travel although I haven’t done much lately. I’m also obsessed with tiny homes and recently built my own cabin on wheels. My absolute favorite place to visit in California is Yosemite National Park. Yosemite itself reminds me how small we are as human in relative to this world, and that nature is beautiful and fragile.

I’m a visual storyteller and my approach to wedding photography is simple. I want to tell the story of your wedding day in a timeless and elegant way. I want to tell future generations how happy the day was for the two of you and for all the guests that were there. I want to capture all the laughter, tears, and joy that happened when you were not looking. I want to do all that in a way that is uniquely you. Each photographer is unique and each client is different, but if we share the same approach then I would love to be your wedding photographer.

What I love most about my job is that a bit of me is left in each photo I captured, and the photos will live on long after I’m gone. I truly believe that if you love what you do, you will do great work. I absolutely LOVE what I do.

Outstanding Photographer

We chose James as our wedding photographer and could not be more proud! James is extremely thorough in his details, responsiveness, attentiveness, and of course, his photos! James is energetic, brings a great energy to your wedding, and does an amazing job at capturing everything you want captured for your big day! My husband and I adored working with him and cannot wait to see our photos in a few weeks! 10/10 would recommend!

Mind-blowing.

James is the most talented photographer you will find.

We were lucky to have James as our photographer for both our engagement and wedding photos. We took our engagement photos in Yosemite - and they are so meaningful + mind-blowingly gorgeous. Our wedding photos turned out equally stunning, but what really stood out was how kind/fun James was throughout the entire day. We loved hanging out with James as much as we loved having him as our photographer.

His photos speak for themselves, but I would genuinely recommend James to all friends and family.

James is AWESOME! 10/10 would recommend

James is an absolute pleasure to work with! He shot our engagement photos and our wedding and everything came out incredible. He is so kind! We got married at Pine Rose Cabins and I, half, joked a bit about him making me hike through the woods in 4inch heels; He remained so nice and professional through it all and once he got the best shots made sure my flat shoes were near by for changing into. If you need a wedding/engagement photographer look no further!

Best photographer ever in my opinion!

Wow what can I say about the amazing and talented Mr. James Tang! He was such a joy to work with! The thing I loved most about James Tang is that you can truly tell that wedding photography is his passion! If you look at all of his work the passion he has for capturing the love between two souls is just majestic, and really comes out in every photo! Even if your a shy bird like me and my husband he just makes you feel so natural and his personality is just so inviting so can’t help but to always have a smile on your face! If you want beautiful pictures and memories that you will never forget I would definitely choose James Tang Photography!

Amazingly talented

I still can't believe how amazing our wedding photos turned out! James has an extraordinary talent for taking stunning, romantic photos. I could look at them every day! He was able to capture the beauty of the venue as well as help us look amazing and natural, capturing our love so beautifully! I feel so grateful to have such wonderful photos to remember this special day forever. And our amazing photos were only made better by the fact that James and his assistant were so fun and easy to work with!

Amazingly Talented Photography

My wife and I knew from the first meeting with James that he was the perfect photographer for our wedding. He was incredibly professional and showed almost as much excitement as we did for our wedding day. He gave us as much control as we wanted, but at the end of the day we let his creativity take control and we could not be happier with the results.

James truly is a one of a kind photographer who loves his job and helping make your special day something you can always look back on. His passion for photography shows through his work and our wedding photos could not have come out any more perfect. My wife and I would recommend James Tang's services without hesitation to anyone who is looking for a photographer who can capture your special moments in a way that no one else can and provide service and a final product that is beyond expectation.

I found James years ago on pintrest and started following him on Instagram before I was engaged. I told my self I would use him for our wedding, and we did! Our venue is strict with their vendors and luckily James was on it! I immediately called James and pretty much Picked the wedding day based off his
availability. James is absolutely amazing. He’s not like any other wedding photographer I have seen! He has professional, focused and most importantly makes you feel comfortable in front of the camera. Thank you James ! We can’t wait to see the rest of our photos :)

My husband and I just finished reviewing our wedding photos and albums, and we are extremely happy. The photos are stunning! I'm so in love with them! It seems like he has endless energy and so much fun to work with. I'm particularly camera shy and I was completely comfortable being in front of James' camera. In fact, I had so much fun during the photo session on my wedding day that I actually didn't want it to end. I wish we also booked an engagement session with him and his adorable row boat. Thank you so much for the amazing experience, James. You are the best of the best! We owe you all the caramel frappacino's you want! ;)

I had a few choices for photographers at my Pine Rose wedding and I'm so glad I chose James! From the start, I loved his fun personality, obvious professionalism, and his portfolio of images were stunning. He went above and beyond the day of the wedding: he arrived early and very prepared for the weather, which ended up being frigid, misty, and rainy at the end of the night. He had a clear umbrella and a backup plan ready to go. James also was very accommodating when I gave him a bunch of pose requests - he's extremely thorough and detail-oriented which is my exact personality. We were a perfect fit. After seeing my sneak peek pics, I know I made the right choice. I would recommend James for anyone's photo shoot - you won't be disappointed!
