About
I am a full-time wedding photographer based in San Francisco, CA. I was born in China and have studied in South Korea and the United States. I graduated with a Bachelor's degree from Shenzhen University's Japanese Department in 2012, and obtained my Master's degree in Korean language education from Seoul National University in 2016. During my time in South Korea, I began documenting my daily life through photography and discovered my passion for it. Determined to pursue my dreams and become a professional photographer, I enrolled in the Photography program at the Academy of Art University, where I earned my MFA degree in 2020.
While studying in the United States, I actively participated in various international competitions such as WPPI, Asiawpa, WPE, and IPC, as well as obtaining the professional qualification of photographers (MPA). With fluency in multiple languages including Chinese, Cantonese, English, Korean and Japanese, I can effectively communicate with clients from diverse backgrounds. My extensive experience living in different countries has provided me with a global perspective, which greatly influences my work.
My ultimate goal is to strike a balance between artistic integrity, commercial craftsmanship, and a distinct style that enables me to capture the full spectrum of captivating human emotions.
Wedding photography is a career in which I can witness the most important and happiest moment in people’s life. I use what I have learned and experienced to create innovative artworks with narrative elements, and my work is something I am incredibly proud of. It is really wonderful that I could turn my passion into my career. More importantly, because of photography, I have made a lot of connections and friends in different professions and walks of life, I have experienced their different love stories, and been able to share their beautiful love with others.

I’m so lucky to find Vivi as my wedding photographer, because the photos came out like real art. Our wedding was Ethereal aesthetic theme with lots of flowers and nature. She is very flexible, professional and active. She did all the photos, every detail, process of the whole wedding day and my guests were also happy. My husband and I got memories we wanted. The day of our wedding it was raining and then right before the ceremony it stopped, Vivi was still taking photos and catching the best moments. No time was wasted. Everything was captured. The wedding photos look so magical and beautiful.
It took me months to find the photographer that I would be satisfied with. Both my husband and I couldn’t find what we were looking for until I discovered Vivi’s work. It is not just the photos, it is also the editing style, understanding my visions and easy to work together. Becoming friends and feeling comfortable to work with. We are so grateful for everything. We could only have 1 wedding in

Vivi— Thank you for being the most amazing cheerleader and friend we could have asked for. Your vision exceeded anything we could have imagined, and we felt so comfortable in your hands. From the very beginning, with pre-photoshoot guidelines and “homework,” your care and attention to detail blew us away. You knew how to make us feel beautiful, confident, and at ease, always hyping us up and bringing out the best versions of ourselves.
Photos last a lifetime, and it was so important for us to find someone we could trust to take care of us—and you delivered beyond our wildest expectations. We already know our photos will be the most stunning, beautiful memories, and it’s all because of your hard work and diligence. We can’t wait to share them with all our loved ones and will absolutely recommend you to everyone we know.
Please keep doing what you do—the world is so much better with your talent, care, and passion in it!

Vivi is an amazing photographer who takes the time to understand and work with her clients from start to finish. My wife and I have had two photo shoots with Vivi and have been extremely satisfied every time. We just booked a third photo shoot with her - she’s just that good!
When we took our pre-wedding photos, Vivi made sure to take the time to fully understand what we wanted out of our photos while also providing excellent feedback and ideas to make our photos even better. She strikes the perfect balance between meticulous planning and going with the flow, which lets her clients feel like they are well taken care of. Alongside her excellent photography skills, Vivi is able to foster a warm and welcoming atmosphere. Even the most camera shy people will feel at ease when working with her!
