Edgar Sent on 08/12/2019Traditional shots, candid shots and artsy shots!
I reviewed over 20+ photographers for my wedding, evaluating their style for traditional shots, candid shots and artsy shots. I wanted the traditional and artsy shots for framed photos and candid shots to capture the moments of the day. When I came across Ian's galley, I knew I had finally found my photographer.
His photos were beyond my expectations and he did all three styles amazing well. His communication and professionalism before, during and after the wedding always had me feeling confident he was on top of everything. Most of all his super friendly and easy going personality put my wife and I at ease and allowed us to truly be ourselves in front of the camera.
I would recommend Ian to any of my friends or family in a heartbeat!

Nikki A. Sent on 08/12/2019Ian is awesome!
Ian did our engagement photo shoot (Feb 2016) and our maternity photo shoot (Oct 2018) and they were both awesome. Photos are fantastic and I love how he always gets some cool, creative shots. He really captured us exactly how we wanted both times. I especially love the candid photos where we are laughing because it is so us. He did some amazing shots from different angles, distance, etc. He definitely has a great artistic eye and you can tell he loves what he does. We highly recommend him. Thanks Ian! -

Ian is an amazing photographer and couldn't be happier with how our pictures turned out! My husband and I did a simple ceremony at San Francisco City Hall on August 5, 2016 and Ian was able to capture the magic, love and amazing structures of City Hall for our special day!
Since he was familiar with the venue, it was a breeze to get the best angles that both showoff the space and how handsome we are :)
Ian also got our family in order for their shots and listened to our requests. Everyone who has seen our pictures have complimented how awesome they were and we have Ian to thank for that!
Look no further for someone who is flexible, knowledgeable, and captures the memories of your special day!
Thank you again Ian! -

Ian did a fantastic job with our wedding photos at City Hall in San Francisco. He advised us on how to schedule the photos to make best use of the space, what to expect at City Hall, and where to take group and individual photos. We had a very large and unwieldy group that he charmed into position with deft and polite instructions. Everyone raved about his amazing ability to quickly position the group and take gorgeous photos in a short period of time. We feel so lucky to have found Ian and worked with him. I don't think we could have found anyone else who could live up to his amazing skill. We also really appreciated that he gave us the negatives for the photos when he was finished. We cannot recommend Ian highly enough. -

Ian is AWESOME!! My husband and I had a last minute elopement (with our two daughters) at San Francisco's City Hall, and we needed a photographer to capture the moment. Luckily, Ian was available.
About two days before the ceremony, I realized that we needed a witness....which of course, it just being us and our girls, we didn't have. I asked Ian, on short notice, if he could be a witness for our wedding, and he graciously said, "yes, I'd be honored to." He arrived early (before us, in fact), and as we were waiting for our marriage license, he began taking pictures.
The moment I met Ian, I felt that we were in good hands. He is extremely professional, patient, creative, and kind! I had no idea what type of style I wanted for our photos, and that was fine, Ian took care of it all. I plan to hire Ian again on our next trip to San Francisco for a second round of family photos.
Pick Ian Chin as your photographer, you definitely wont be disappointed!
Thank you for all the wonderful memories, Ian!!

Glad we hired THIS photographer :)
Highly recommended!
At first I didn't think we needed a photographer, thought we had some gifted friends who could take care of it, but I'm so glad we decided to get one and that our photographer was Ian! A really nice guy, with a good eye - we did a standard wedding package, which was equal to or cheaper than other photographers we were checking out, and it came with an engagement shoot, where we got some lovely shots of us looking so happy together.
At the wedding, Ian also managed to capture some great shots of friends and family, as well as us. He also covered our reception, and we have lovely group shots from that event. Thanks again so much for your excellent work, Ian! -

Ian is a truly gifted photographer! In search for our wedding photographer, I interacted with a number of cocky photographers that insisted their style was the best. Ian is the complete opposite. He listens to his clients, makes you feel comfortable and best of all he's totally down to earth.
Ian shot our engagement session at Golden Gate Park and Baker Beach. He is committed to finding that magical shot without being overly directive. When our pictures came in, we were thoroughly impressed in the creativity and quality of our photos.
I also booked Ian for my boudoir shoot to give my fiancee a nice engagement gift. I have never done a boudoir shoot before and he was able to make me feel super comfortable. Once again, Ian exuded professionalism and photographic talent!
As for our wedding, Ian captured all the special moments of our special day at Casa Real. He was open to my photographic ideas but also made sure to have his own style shine through. Ian did such a great job my husband and I cried tears of joy as we went through the album. Selecting the right wedding photographer is an important decision. Run, don't walk, to hire Ian Chin for all your photographic needs!

User1062718 Sent on 01/08/2013Ian Chin did such a fantastic job photographing my city hall wedding.
I've never hired a photographer before and wasn't sure what to expect, but Ian made the entire process so easy. He's a professional to work with, listened to what I was looking for and offered great suggestions, and made us feel so comfortable.
I honestly was only hoping for a handful of great photos that documented our wedding day, but Ian provided us with an entire album's worth. Plus he gave us some digital files that very night so we could post them online AND gave us the remaining photos online within a few days. Everyone I've shown our wedding pictures to comment on how great the photos are and how Ian really captured how happy the day was for us.
If you're looking for a professional, skillful, thorough, accommodating, and affordable photographer, than Ian Chin is your man.

Geneva Sent on 09/26/2012I did a boudoir shoot with Ian and I enjoyed every minute of it! He made me feel comfortable and confident while providing lots of direction when needed and letting me explore poses for myself. His prices are more than reasonable and the resulting photos were worth every penny. I'm considering doing a second shoot!!!
