Long is unbelievable 😍 I hardly have the words to describe how happy we are with him and his work. I am a photographer myself, so going into this, I had high expectations. He made us feel insanely comfortable, got us laughing, made us feel confident and most importantly, didn't pose us! His prompts provided us with the most natural of photos and he truly just captured our love. I couldn’t imagine trusting anyone else with some of the most important photos of our lives. We absolutely love you, Long. He will be our go-to photographer for the rest of our lives. -

Don’t think twice. Long is incredibly talented and has a heart to go with it. From our first meeting, we were at ease and found ourselves laughing the whole time. We decided to pivot last minute to a teeny wedding with just family with a very short lead time. Long worked with us to figure out a date and plan. From showing up with bells on, to bringing extra marshmallows to our cranky kiddo, he never missed a beat. Our photos were unbelievable. He captured our love in a way that really showed up authentically. Nothing posed, just lots of love. 10/10, no notes -

If you don't hire Long you are making a mistake
Long is, without a doubt, the best photographer I've ever had the pleasure of working with. He is so kind and knowledgable... plus, his portfolio is gorgeous. I did not have a 'wish lists' of certain photos when we hired Long and all I told him was that I/we wanted to look amazing with no double chin and he far exceeded our expectations even with the little to no direction that we gave him. He easy going but knows all the best shots. If/when I need a photographer again, I will go out of my way to hire Long! -

Long has become more than our photographer, he is our friend. He captured our wedding in the most perfect way. Everything is in the moment and full of raw emotions. If you want a cookie cutter photographer that captures all of the basic things, he is not for you. But if you want your wedding captured in the most beautiful, magical and unique way, contact him!! He is amazing and I couldn’t have asked for a better photographer🤍 -

It's difficult to figure out how to start other than simply saying Long is phenomenal! From the very first meeting my huband and I had with Long, I knew he was going to be the best photographer to work with. I could tell not only by his amazing portfolio, but also by his personality that he was going to be great to work with. Long has such a great sense of humor and it really lightens the mood, which made our wedding day feel so much less stressful. My husband and I are not the best at taking pictures but Long is such a master at his craft that he made it so easy for us with his instructions & our photos turned out stuning as a result. Perhaps the best thing about Long is that he won't take you away from the fun at your wedding & actually lets you enjoy the day while capturing your genuine self in that moment. I am so truly thankful that we got to work with Long and cannot recommend him enough & that if you are considering him for your wedding, you should absolutely book him- you wont regret it! -

Working with Long was an absolute joy! He was incredibly organized, easygoing, and knew exactly how to keep things on track while still making the experience fun. His sense of humor had us laughing throughout the day, which made everything feel so natural and stress-free. Long also provided thoughtful guidance and suggestions but always left the final decisions up to us, which was incredibly helpful amidst all the other decision-making we had to navigate. And the photos? Absolutely stunning. He perfectly captured every moment and left us with memories we’ll cherish forever. We couldn’t have been happier with our decision to work with him. Highly recommend! I promise you will be glad you picked Long Yau! -

Danielle L. Sent on 12/17/2024So lucky to have used Long!!
Long Yau is an absolute gem of a photographer. First of all, his pricing was the best of any of the local photographers that I contacted. He included engagement photos for only a small additional fee so that we could build a relationship before the wedding and so that we could feel more comfortable with posing. My husband and I are very camera-shy, but from the time of the engagement photos to the day of the wedding, he made us feel at ease. He was extremely professional, arriving very early to the wedding to capture me getting ready and scope out areas with good lighting for our first look. And he was incredibly generous as well—I believe we only paid for 8 hours of service, but he must have been with us for at least 10 hours on the wedding day. And then he delivered the photos, and oh my goodness…he made me look like a princess! They were absolutely gorgeous. Long’s photographs will shape how we remember our wedding for the rest of our lives, and he made the whole event look like a fairytale. I looked the happiest I have ever looked on camera. He has a phenomenal talent, and I am just so grateful that we used him. I don’t think anyone could have done a better job! -

The best photographer we could have asked for!
We got so lucky that we found Long. He was an absolute dream to work with. We had the opportunity to have him photograph three events for our wedding. He is professional, has an amazing eye for attention to detail, is so so funny, and all around a great person to be around. Our family and friends have raved about the quality of our photos and how he captured real-life important moments throughout our events. We are so happy with the work that he did. I would recommend him a million times over. Just book him, you will not be disappointed! -

We couldn’t be happier with the work that Long did! He captured every moment of our wedding beautifully, from the big moments to the little details. The photos turned out stunning, and their creative vision and attention to detail were incredible.
Long made us feel so comfortable and blended seamlessly into the day, capturing both candid and posed shots perfectly. Communication was excellent, and the turnaround time was exactly as promised. If you want a professional, talented photographer who will exceed your expectations, we highly recommend Long! -

A perfect choice for a wedding photographer!
Long came highly recommended by our venue, and for good reason. Working with Long was wonderful. Easygoing and with a great sense of humor, he quickly made it clear that our photography experience was going to be as low stress/low maintenance as possible. The day of our wedding he took absolutely gorgeous photos that are unmatched in quality, and he did so in an extremely efficient, laid back manner that still showcased his professionalism and experience as a wedding photographer. We cannot recommend Long enough! -

Danielle I. Sent on 10/15/2024Long was an incredible photographer both in flexibility and in quality. He went above and beyond and the pictures are everything were we wanted!
Long travelled out of state to meet us for both our engagement shoot and the wedding. He arrived at the arboretum where we were having our shoot early and scoped the place out and despite having not been there before, had all of the great spots. For the wedding, he was organized and involved. He and his assistant were always where the action was and the photos came out great! I cannot recommend him more! -

Amazing Experience
Long was so genuine throughout the day of the wedding. He took so many in the moment shots that turned out beautifully. His pictures do not seem over edited and just look beautiful. He took the time to meet with us two times prior to the wedding to make sure we had all our questions answered. Above and beyond happy with the final product. ❤️ -

Long was absolutely incredible. Not only did he take the time to meet with us multiple times leading up to our wedding to talk through our vision and help us plan out the day, he went so far above and beyond on our actual day.
Throughout our entire wedding day Long set us at ease. He never made us feel rushed or like taking pictures was a chore, but he kept things moving and found the most amazing locations with the best lighting. Our day happened to be uncomfortably hot out, but he kept us laughing and worked right through it, never complaining. His calm demeanor allowed us to enjoy the day together and with our families stress-free, while capturing photos that we will cherish for a lifetime.
Our photo album quality was everything I had hoped for and more. He has the most amazing ability to capture lighting softly while also bringing out warmth and bright colors. He truly has an artist's eye for photo composition and while his poses were simple and natural, he captures such a wide range of focal points and angles.
We were so fortunate to have gotten to work with Long and highly recommend him to anyone searching for a photographer!
To Long: thank you, thank you, thank you -

We had the pleasure of working with Long as our wedding photographer, and we couldn't be happier with our choice. From start to finish, Long was incredibly professional and attentive. His deep understanding of the special procedures at Duke Chapel was evident and greatly appreciated. Long went above and beyond to ensure that everyone felt comfortable, taking extra steps to accommodate our needs.
His experience shone through in every aspect of his work. Long's attentiveness to detail and ability to capture the perfect moments resulted in stunning photos that we will cherish forever. We are absolutely thrilled with the final results and highly recommend Long to anyone looking for a skilled and dedicated wedding photographer. -

Long was the first person we hired for our wedding after we booked the venue, and we couldn't have been happier we chose him to shoot our wedding. I fell in love with the style of his work because it is beautiful but also feels very honest. Photography was very important to me, but feeling true to ourselves was the most important thing on the wedding day. I feel like Long understands how important this is and did an amazing job making us feel comfortable from the first day we met to the day of the wedding. We have so many beautiful photos of us along with our friends and family to share. Thank you! -

ABSOLUTE DREAM! Still on a high from seeing our wedding photos...
Long's photography speaks for itself in every way, but I can speak especially to who he is as a person. Long has a true gift in understanding your vision without you having to say a word. Our engagement photos are an absolute DREAM. Our wedding day - priceless moments are forever cemented because of his work. He captured so many moments that I myself missed. I thought to myself so many times - how did he capture that? I don't even remember him being there! And that's what you want from a photographer. He was there every step of the way, but truly made Tony and I feel like we were the only people in the world. We spent HOURS swooning over our photos once we got them. I truly cannot recommend him enough to any bride and groom who want their wedding day captured in the most magical way possible. -

Svante L. Sent on 12/20/2023We had a fantastic time with Long!
Finding a photographer was something of a last minute endeavor for us; with a few upsets throughout our wedding planning process, we wanted to make sure we found a photographer that fit in our budget, and was available to work on our date! Looking through reviews for various photographers, we found Long and reached out to him. We loved his photo work, and he quickly got back to us almost right after reaching out! Our first meeting with him felt much more personal than just a business meeting, and he was able to work within our budget range and with our upcoming wedding date, and do an additional engagement session.
The day of, Long was efficient and professional, letting us know exactly how he wanted to take the pictures, and helped guide us through the whole process. When we got our photos back, it was clear we had made the right choice to have Long do our photography. All of the pictures were gorgeous and well-edited, capturing key moments throughout our night and immortalizing our wedding. Thank you again Long for your hard work! -

Working with Long was one of the best decisions we made for our big day. He took amazing photos, but went above and beyond to help with everything!!! From helping me with the timeline to fixing my dress and moving decor- he did the most amazing job!!! He really cares about the people he works with, and he made our day! Also I was a little worried about the fact that he doesn't have a second shooter- but it was not even slightly an issue. He got all the shots and more! Can't recommend enough. Also when my grandpa was passing he took time out of his busy schedule to edit and send me photos of our wedding early so that I could share them. That was the biggest gift ever. -
