East Bay Rustic Natural Light Engagement Photographer | Tilden Park, Berkeley CA

Yijing and Neil took their engagement photos with me before they got married in China, so she decided to wear her wedding dress to guarantee great photos ahead of time! These photos were also Neil’s first introduction to Yijing’s family back home so they’d all get a glimpse of him before the big day. Two of the sweetest souls… I loved working with you two, thank you for such a wonderful review!! xo

“Angie is the most amazing photographer we’ve worked with – my fiance and I hired Angie for our engagement session and we loved the final portraits so much. She is so prompt, personable, talented, reliable AND genuinely a very nice person.

We enjoyed the whole process of working with her – from the consultation, to the preparation, to the photo shoot and the photo reveal at her studio. She responds to our emails and questions very quickly and is very prepared – she seems to think about just about everything way ahead of time. She is professional and gives great advice on the best locations, clothing, accessories and even her preferred hair and makeup artists too (mine was done by Annie of The Makeup Movement) – you can be assured that she will make sure everything goes well on the day of the photo shoot.

She knows the best times of the day to take gorgeous outdoor photos to achieve that golden light we love so much – we shot indoors first at The Claremont Hotel in Berkeley, CA then outdoors at Tilden Park in Oakland, CA – and the timing worked out just perfectly! Angie shoots from the best angles, she captures so many great in-between moments and makes the best locations look even better! Her unique photography style is natural, sunny, joyful and happy!!

My finance doesn’t take pictures often but Angie was so charming and sweet that it helped both of us relax and made us feel very natural and comfortable in front of the camera. We were having so much fun that the time was flying by and we didn’t notice that several hours had passed. I would definitely work with Angie again in the future and I highly recommend Angie to anyone who needs a professional photographer.

Thank you very much Angie for giving us great photos that were way beyond our expectations!!” – Yijing and Neil
