We had a great experience working with Yang from beginning to end. Yang was very friendly, professional and easy to work with. He was very responsive whenever I reached out via email or text. He helped us be comfortable in front of the camera (my husband doesn't particularly like to take photos haha). He was patient with our families and the various family combos they wanted photos of. We were introduced to Yang’s work by a friend of a friend who had Yang photographed their wedding last year at the same venue. It was helpful that he was familiar with our venue and gave us some tips. His photography aesthetic aligns very well with what we were looking for — bright, happy, romantic! The turn around time for our photos was fast as well. We highly recommend Yang for your wedding or special occasion!

Thank you, Yang and your team for capturing our special day! We are very happy with how the gallery turned out! :D

A good friend of mine recommended to consider Yang Lu Photography for my wedding. Choosing a wedding photographer is not an easy task. My husband and I interviewed a few vendors, but Yang sent out because of his neat presentation. After our first video call, we knew exactly what to expect and everything was clear and easy. I asked like 1000 questions and Yang passionately answered all of them. After talking to several other photographers we did not doubt that we only wanted Yang Lu for our wedding.

The process: Yang created a rough timeline with recommendations. We had 4 video appointments in total: initial, mid-way, final, and extra final (we had to re-make our timeline due to daylight saving and we had to meet again to see what could be done)

Our package: we picked the most popular option with 2 photographers. I was skeptical if we needed 2 photographers, but in the end, I am so happy we picked 2. 2photographers mean more angles and a higher chance to capture those special moments.

Payment: Yang offers multiple different packages and a very convenient way of paying in incremental amounts, we had 3 payments, first (when we signed the contract), mid-way, and final.

Challenge: Our wedding was on Nov 5th, 2023 which was the day of daylight savings, and we didn't know about it till a week before our appointment. Originally we didn't plan to have the first look, but because we lost one hour of daylight we decided to change it and Yang was happy to assist in creating a new timeline

The day of: Yang arrived on site on time and started working right away. When you hire Yang you don't need to worry about anything, he knows what he is doing and you can just enjoy your day. That is what I was doing, I trusted him 100% and I am very happy I did.

The result: The wedding gallery was ready in 3!! weeks after the wedding, my husband and I were pleasantly surprised because we were expecting them in a month. Fist teaser was ready almost the next day after the wedding we were so surprised and so happy to see some of our beautiful wedding pictures so soon. Wedding pictures turned out STUNNING! I can't even count how many of them are my the most favorites!
The section of the photo gallery that I absolutely love is the first dance, dancing, and grand exit. I want to highlight that Yang did some black-and-white versions of our pictures and they are THE BEST!

TLDR: Book Yang if you want photos you can look back on in 10 years and feel the emotions and like you're reliving the whole experience again.

Yang was the first vendor we booked probably 2 years in advance once we decided on a wedding date. Throughout the whole process he was professional, friendly, and communicative. My husband and I fell in love with his photos and the way they told a story. We love the beautiful Instagram posed photos (which Yang took), but it was more important we also had a photographer who could capture the candid moments and the details that would help us relive the whole day. Our wedding day was longgg, meaning we had two tea ceremonies, a western ceremony, and a dinner reception all at different locations. Somehow Yang powered through it all, was energetic, and made the whole process so much fun. It was especially heartwarming that he captured the moments at my house before the tea ceremony when my mom was setting up, and the subtle details like the calendar on the wall. These details may seem insignificant to some, but it really meant a lot to me. While we had some down time, Yang never stopped working and suggested we take some portraits and also details of our wedding rings, shoes, etc. Not to mention, he gave us sneak peaks within a week and delivered the whole gallery within two weeks of our wedding. I highly recommend Yang to anyone looking for pictures that really speak 1000 words.
