We've had the pleasure of working with Junshien to photoshoot both our engagement session in October 2025 and our wedding in March 2026. We are both fairly awkward folks and were nervous that our engagement & wedding day photos would turn out a little less than perfect. From our first Zoom meeting, it was clear that we were in expert hands. Junsien's process is very detailed, well thought out, and clearly communicated. He provided everything from locations, styling, wedding day timeline, and tips on how to best present naturally in front of the camera. Junshien's dedication is unmatched. When our engagement shoot was surrounded with cloudy or rainy weather, he proactively monitored the forecast and offered flexible rescheduling for the best shots and experience. Even though our final chosen day was overcast, the photos turned out stunning. He transformed a dull late afternoon into stunning sunset portraits. Prior to our wedding, Junshien provided a very detailed day of guide, schedule plan, photo group, etc. He walked through this to ensure that all necessary photo opportunities were accounted for and provided tips for how to best capture our special day. He truly went above and beyond. On our wedding day, Junshien and his assistant Michelle were truly indispensable. They covered everything - poses, posture, jacket adjustment, helping the groomsmen tying ties and pocket squares, you name it. Throughout the day, they were looking for opportunities to make us look our best while still ensuring we got to enjoy our day and the party. Their attention to detail also ensured that we achieved the best results in every shot. If you are looking for a photographer who is as organized as they are talented, we cannot recommend Junshien enough. read more

Junshien was excellent throughout the entirety of our wedding planning process and helped make the wedding day go seamlessly! He remained professional and responsive. He proposed timelines for us which helped us to envision the day clearly. He is also extremely detail-oriented and was able to point out important things that we would not have thought about otherwise. It is clear that he is well experienced in the wedding field as he was able to provide guide rails for us to make informed decisions. During the wedding day, he was able to keep us on track with the schedule and helped us to enjoy the entire photography process. My wife and I loved the his artistic vision and the candids that he took which captured the vibe of the entire day. We are so pleased with the outcome of the photos and would highly recommend him to all! read more

Choosing Junshien Weddings was one of the best decisions we made and worth every penny. We worked directly with Junshien himself, along with his amazing team, and from start to finish they were everything we hoped for -- organized, detail-oriented, communicative, and truly invested in capturing our story. We first met Junshien over Zoom and from then on, he guided us through every step of the process until our wedding day. Our engagement session with him was great and It helped us get comfortable in front of the camera and made our wedding day photos feel natural, fun, and effortless. On the wedding day, his planning really showed. Because he had walked us through so much beforehand, we got to fully enjoy every moment without stress. He and his team were everywhere they needed to be, yet never once in the way. Our guests even commented on how impressive and seamless they were. And the photos and videos... I can't say enough. Every time we received an email with a set of photos or a video, it felt like Christmas morning. The way he captured every detail, every reaction, every genuine expression -- it was beyond anything we imagined. He told our story with such care and artistry that we will treasure these memories forever. I would recommend Junshien Weddings a thousand times over. If you want a team who not only captures your day beautifully but helps make the day itself better, look no further. read more

We worked with Junshien for our wedding for almost two years!--from meeting for and taking our engagement photos, to being there for us every step of the way before and during the wedding, to delivering an INCREDIBLE videographed film, all the way to providing us the greatest gift in the photos themselves and a beautiful wedding album we will cherish forever. Junshien and his team do it all. They are super detailed-oriented and thorough in their preparation, will keep you on track before and during the wedding, and blend right into the wedding day to capture all the "real" moments. We LOVE our photos, and Junshien had a lot to accommodate, including wind, two huge families, and a LOT of moving parts. He kept us calm and made sure every single thing we wanted from him was done. We couldn't recommend Junshien and his team enough!! PS If you're on the fence, the videography is worth it!!! :) read more

We loved working with Junshien & team for our wedding photography and videography! Leading up to the wedding, Junshien is very proactive in communication and gave us a ton of tactical tips given he's seen so many weddings and was able to help guide our selections for first look and finalize our timeline. He also took the time to learn about what kind of vibe we wanted in our photos and video. During the wedding day, his team of 4 was friendly, warm, and made us feel comfortable. Afterwards, we got our sneak peek within 3 weeks, full photo set within 8 weeks, and video within 4 months! Thank you Junshien and team for the epic photos and video that we'll treasure forever. read more

My husband and I were an impacted 2020 covid wedding and ended up canceling our original plans - Junshien was so gracious as a vendor on how and when we used our deposit such that we had the pleasure of doing a maternity shoot with him this past April :) I had a lot of ideas in mind and Junshien did as well so we got to try so many different spots, poses, and props in the 1.5 hr time period and shoot location. Junshien was great about making us feel natural and relaxed in front of the camera and the time flew by! I was having a lot of fun xD And the final results were as idyllic and beautiful as I had hoped for. I'm so glad I ended up doing a maternity shoot with Junshien because he captured so well the precious joy and anticipation of this time in my life~ Thank you again Junshien!! read more

Junshien Weddings - Maternity Photoshoot in Sunol - Videographers Near Me - San Francisco, California

Junshien was recommended to me from a friend of mines. I loved her wedding photos so it only made sense to reach out to him.

He would ask me questions that even I didn't think of to ask. His thoroughness, attention to detail, and communication is great!

It has been such a pleasure working with Junshien for the past few years.

We had a fantastic experience working with Junshien for our Wedding in May 2024! There is so much that goes into a Wedding, and the planning can get stressful - after meeting with Junshien, we were confident that all aspects of the photography for the day were 100% taken care of, and that was really helpful peace of mind to have. He has so much experience and that made the process easy and smooth for us. Our wedding day was perfect, and Junshien's energy made the photos so much fun and natural. Thanks Junshien! If you are looking for a photographer for your big day, look no further! read more

I never write any Yelp reviews but Junshien is an exception because he's BEYOND wonderful and SUPER talented. He's a true definition of an artist and has great eyes for photography. When my husband and I were looking for a wedding photographer, Junshien was recommended by my videographer. We chose Junshien because we fell in love with his style. His photos are colorful, vibrant, natural, and very elegant. We wanted him as our photographer so bad that we made sure he would be available on our wedding day. Even though he was ONLY our photographer, he helped us so much throughout the whole wedding planning process. What we love about him is how professional and detailed he is. He also took our engagement photos and we were camera shy but he made us feel comfortable. When we received our engagement and wedding photos back, we were so happy how nicely the photos turned out. If you're looking for a photographer, definitely reach out to Junshien! You will not regret it. We would love to work with him again in the near future. read more

Thanks to Junshien, both our engagement and wedding day are forever captured by the eye of a true artist in the most beautiful and heartwarming photos I could have hoped for. Not to mention our wedding video looks like it could be a trailer for the best romcom you've ever seen. And the drone footage was an added gorgeous touch. Junshien takes the time to get to know you as a couple including your aesthetic preferences while masterfully mixing in posed and candid shots. Most importantly, he achieved sincere emotive images as well as magazine-worthy portraits, all without interjecting or disrupting the day. He and his team were almost ethereal in how they were floating in and out, snagging the best shots, but without being in the way or making anyone feel awkward. I have already recommended him to every bride I know and will continue to do so. If you want to be sure that this special time in your life is magnificently preserved in print (or video) then do yourself a favor and book Junshien. read more

We couldn't have picked a more perfect photographer for our engagement, bridal, and wedding photos / videos! Junshien is impeccable with his work - he's a diligent communicator, creative, and uses the most beautiful vibrant colors. He captured the energy, warmth, and ambiance of our wedding perfectly. And, if you have any fur friends you want in your photos, he knows how to work with them, too. We also want to give a shout out to the entire crew he brought on our wedding day - they were professional and super easy for our entire wedding party and guests to work with. Everyone loved seeing all of our candid photos and our wedding video after the big day. Thanks again Junshien and team! We will forever cherish all the memories you captured! read more

Working with Junshien has been the ABSOLUTE best! He's taken such good care of us, right from the very first time we spoke. He was very detailed, gave great and practical advice, was patient throughout the process and gave so much thought and care to our wedding day. The day of our wedding was so hectic, but I remember Junshien subtly reminding me to do certain things during that day - hey, you wanted photos with so and so; try doing a fake toss when you throw your bouquet; cake him! Hahahaha It shows how much effort he put into and really cared about making not just our photos but our wedding day that much better. The turn around time for our photos were quick and painless. Honestly, every step of the way working with Junshien was painless and enjoyable. He also kindly sent me a few pictures I needed for our thank you notes. All in all -- Best decision ever!!! Loved our photos read more

Junshien Weddings - Sunset at Nella Terra amazingly captured by Junshien - Videographers Near Me - San Francisco, California

I had known for years that I wanted Junshien to photograph my future wedding, even before I met my husband! A friend hired Junshien for her wedding photos years and years ago, and ever since I saw the photos, I knew! We had interviewed another photographer as well (somewhat as a courtesy, and just to be sure), but they didn't compare to the knowledge, professionalism, and supreme detail-oriented nature of Junshien. Plus, he is just so pleasant to be around. I can honestly say that he (and our videographer) were the best spent money in all of our wedding one year ago! We had both our engagement session and wedding shot by him. Both were fantastic experiences. Junshien was so professional and knowledgeable. If you've ever heard the phrase "I didn't know what I didn't know," it definitely applied to me and wedding photography. In some ways, Junshien also acted as a second, even better, wedding coordinator. He had a timeline (nearly minute by minute) drawn up for our wedding, including when the sunset was on that day, when the best light would be, etc....I had no idea anyone planned that kind of thing! For our engagement session he weighed in on what to wear, bring, and helped us with poses, so I should have expected that he'd leave no stone unturned. It was honestly really good for us to have that kind of guidance because I found the more granular details of wedding planning to be overwhelming at times. On the day of our wedding, Junshien and his second shooter Tony arrived to our venue early and went straight to work. He even went the extra mile and brought me a speaker for music while I was getting ready with my bridal party...which I forgot to give back in the chaos of our wedding day! He told me to just keep it. He's beyond a gem. The quality and composition of his photos are second to none. The lightness, vibrancy, and beauty of them....He didn't just capture us, he made us look so good! We were blown away by our engagement and wedding photos. We would recommend Junshien in a heartbeat and so grateful to him for sharing his talent with us. read more

Junshien was our engagement and wedding photographer. He was wonderful to work with, and we would highly recommend him!! Junshien was extremely responsive, organized, and professional. In the conversations/emails leading up to the wedding, Junshien helped us articulate our vision and expectations for the photos and prepped us with great detail (e.g., what to do the day before a photo shoot, what to wear/not to wear, flow of the day, etc.). On the day of the wedding, he guided us through the day with ease and care, while also capturing so many magical moments all around us. The final photos were amazing. Junshien's attention to detail, eye for light/color/composition, and ability to capture emotions all come through in these photos. We're so thrilled that we have these photos to remember the day by. We'd highly recommend working with Junshien!! read more

It was such a pleasure working with Junshien and his team. They were all super professional and kind. He listened to what we were going for and helped us a ton. He worked with his team very efficiently and kept things playful. He allowed us to enjoy our special day to the fullest. I'd highly recommend him. read more

We went to Junshien with extremely high recommendations from several of our friends, even a few who are also wedding photographers. We met with him in his SF office, discussed our vision, and had a chance to review some of his work. We had a series of questions to ask any potential photography vendor and we were more than comfortable with all of his responses (regarding second shooter, pricing, timeline, etc.) But what was most reassuring was that Junshien truly took the time to get to know us and determine what was most important for our special day. Also, we were hoping to have a vintage, carnival-themed wedding, so we wanted to make sure we had someone who could help bring this to life. Once we expressed interest in booking with Junshien, Christina communicated with us very regularly ensuring we signed the contract (managed through HoneyBook), submitted payment, reviewed tips for our engagement session, received engagement teasers and official photos, were able to print engagement photos for the wedding, scheduled a final timeline meeting, and received our wedding teasers and official photos through an easy-to-use online gallery. We had our engagement session at Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk and Junshien tried his best to work in the heat and with crowds of people. Our photos turned out unique and fun, but we were able to learn how fantastic it was to work with Junshien. He made us feel at ease, made us laugh, suggested some creative shots, and also listened to some of our desires (ex. we really wanted some cool shots on the ferris wheel). Unfortunately, it was one of the most gorgeous beach days of the year so there were quite a few people in some of our photos. We would recommend making sure that you do your photo shoot at a time when there are less people around to get in your shots. Our wedding day experience was better than we could have hoped for. Junshien and his team were timely, worked very efficiently and creatively with our timeline, made our wedding party feel calm, and worked so well with our other vendors (planners, video, hotel, etc.) We still think back to how much fun it was to take our couple and group photos-- something that we thought might have been rushed or inconvenient with everything else happening that day. And most importantly... our photos came out WONDERFULLY. We received our wedding teasers after 2 months and the full photos about a month after that-- well worth the short wait. I'll post a few below and let them speak for themselves. Thank you Junshien and team for a remarkable experience and for contributing to our perfect, memorable day. read more

We just finished our wedding last weekend and went with Junshien for our videography services. We couldn't be happier with JS and his team. They were there on time, set up quickly, and were super thorough and creative with the shots they were getting. His communication throughout the process and giving us hints and tips about what would make for good photos and videos along the way was extremely helpful. At one point I watched them spend over an hour with our wedding rings just to create the perfect shot of them which came out beautiful!! Would definitely recommend Junshien for any of your wedding photography and videography needs. read more

Junshien is an absolutely amazing wedding photographer and we highly recommend working with him!! He did our engagement shoot and wedding photo/video, and wow! The photos and video were beautiful, bright, vibrant, and captured our wedding in such a special way. We were so impressed with Junshien's expertise every step of the way! My husband and I are honestly pretty clueless about how to take nice photos and how to pose/look etc. We felt nervous and awkward because we are not used to taking professional photos. Junshien made us feel so comfortable by giving us clear instructions and guidance on what to do, where to look, and how to pose. He was ready with ideas for pose after pose, so everything flowed very well and he was super efficient. Our dog was also included in both our engagement shoot and wedding, and Junshien was very warm and welcoming to our dog and helped incorporate him in really cute ways in our photos! We were so grateful for Junshien's guidance throughout our entire wedding day. We felt like he was basically our wedding coordinator because he gave us so many tips and pointers about how to organize and structure our entire wedding schedule (getting ready, first look, bridal party photos, ceremony, family photos, reception). Again, we were so clueless on how to execute such a big event and how to make it flow smoothly. Junshien really took care of us and had our back the entire day, and we felt like we were in great hands working with him and his team! We had a minute-by-minute schedule based on his input of how long we should dedicate to each event and sunset/lighting recommendations, which worked really well for us. The whole day went very smoothly and efficiently with his guidance. Our wedding party and families kept commenting on how smoothly and stress-free our wedding day went and we owe it all to Junshien and his team. If you are looking for a highly experienced and professional wedding photographer/videographer who can help support and guide you through your special day, our highest recommendation goes to Junshien! We can't thank him enough for being by our side for the past 2 years (and not to mention his patience and flexibility with adapting to COVID and shifting timelines). We now have beautiful photos and an amazing wedding video to look back on forever, and we will forever be grateful to him and his team. Junshien was the single best decision we made in our entire wedding planning process. Thank you so much Junshien for everything! :) read more

Junshien and his team were so great to work with for our wedding photos and video! He was always very responsive through emails and answered all our questions, as well as provided recommendations. The week of our wedding he offered to set up a video call to go through what our expectations were and really took time to understand what shots we were looking for. On the day of the wedding, he was super easy to work with, very attentive, checked in to make sure we took all the photos we wanted, and made the experience very enjoyable. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a wedding photographer :) read more

Outstanding, professional, and incredibly diligent - this is exactly how we would describe Junshien and his team. I rarely use Yelp to leave reviews, but feel compelled to let the internet know how incredible it was working with Junshien and his team. My wife and I got married on 10/27/18 in San Ramon, and we coordinated with Junshien for both photography and videography. My wife and I loved his work - specifically how often the little moments are captured as opposed to strictly poses. Once the big day came, we were blown away by the hard work, attention to detail, and dedication of the team to get the best shots and moments captured on film. I would recommend Junshien 10 out of 10 times. read more

The whole entire crew is amazing and most importantly, I absolutely love our engagement pictures! I did a lot of planning for the engagement pictures because I had all these ideas (woodland romance and beach theme?) and I was nervous to see how they would turn out. But I had absolutely no reason to worry as Junshien's team was able to help my vision materialize into these stunning photos. Communication with Christina was easy and she was sweet and easygoing. And last but definitely not least, as my cousin said, my makeup was on point! Christina consulted with me to help plan what hairstyle would work best with my hair type and our themes. We were so lucky that she was available during the shoot as well because she was there to do touchups. I seriously wish I had her around 24/7 so that she could make me look that good all the time! Tony was our photographer with talent and boundless energy! He kept us going (after hiking to our shoot location and then freezing on the beach). After contacting him regarding my ideas for the shoot, he even brought additional props for us to use. Although we didn't use them, it was a thoughtful gesture. Tony was able to see unique angles and also capture "us" as well. That was really important to me. I didn't want just posed pictures of us. We just look happy together in all the pictures. I love them! One of my friends said that we set the bar so high that she didn't think that she would be happy with her engagement photos. Apparently she loved them that much too! Thank you for these incredible photos and making my vision come to life! read more

This is my first time ever writing a review on Yelp but I feel I have to do so. Simply because I am sooooo happy that we worked with Junshien!! Junshien was the photographer for our wedding reception in San Francisco. Before the big day, he took the time and discussed lots of details with us over facetime. He asked us lots of questions that we did not even think about, which was really helpful. It clearly shows that he knows how to be a good wedding photographer. And he really did every single thing we discussed. During the wedding reception, he arrived early, and blended into the crowds. I think that is very important for a successful wedding photographer, as you don't want someone that looks very obvious walking around during your wedding. After about three weeks, we got our photos and we were both AMAZED!!! Junshien really has the talent of catching important moments. Looking at those photos reminds us of all the laughter that night! We can also tell that Junshien spent a lot of time carefully toning the colors of the photos - simply gorgeous! Junshien is also a very friendly and warm person. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a wedding photographer!! read more

Junshien is a-m-a-z-i-n-g! The photo shoot he did with our nephew and family was a lot of fun. The pictures turned out amazing and vibrant! Junshien has this incredible way with kids. On the day of our shoot, our little one was a cranky little monster. Junshien jumped around, makes silly noises, and somehow managed to make our nephew laugh and smile and we ended up with the BEST pictures of him. Junshien also excels the most is in his post-production skills. We also used him for our Junshien photos and it's been amazing to work with him. He makes the whole experience stress free and fun! The pictures have always come out awesome and we couldn't be more pleased. We absolutely recommend him to all our friends. He so great with our son and we can't wait to get more photo sessions in the future. Can't say enough how happy we are with Junshien - highly recommend. read more

Junshien did our engagement shoot and most recently our son's first birthday shoot. I am thrilled with how the pictures turned out both times. The timing wasn't right for him to shoot our wedding, and I am regretful of that. I have also been to a handful of friends' weddings where Junshien was the photographer, and it is always a pleasure to see him doing his work. Junshien is a consummate professional. He puts in 100% effort during the entire engagement. Junshien has a keen eye and is imaginative with the poses and setting for each shot. I wholeheartedly recommend Junshien to be your next photographer. read more

I recently had my wedding in June and working with Junshien has been such a great experience. Throughout the wedding planning he was always very responsive and always gave his wedding expertise which was so helpful! Not only did we have meetings throughout the planning process but also right before our wedding, we had an additional video call to make sure everything was in order and prepared for the wedding. This was extremely helpful and definitely helped our big day go smoother. On the day of the wedding Junshien and his team went far beyond to make sure our day was amazing. We had a few vendors that were such a disappointment on my wedding day. Junshien not only comforted me as to not ruin my wedding day but he also picked up the slack my wedding coordinator was lacking. Without him helping on my wedding day, it would have been a disaster! As for his photography work, it is BEYOND AMAZING. My husband and I absolutely love our amazing photos. Junshien and his team made it so easy and comfortable to work with on our wedding day and the pictures speak for themselves! They truly have a special talent and you can see it through their work. Junshien and his team have been a dream to work with and we are so so happy and grateful to have had him as our wedding photographer! My husband and I can't say enough great things about him and his team. He is highly highly recommended!!! read more

To understand why my 5 stars should actually be 100 stars, you have to understand something personal about me. I hate getting my pictures taken. In general, the only one that can take my picture is ME with the liberal use of the "delete" button and the help of photoshop. Others have tried, and for those that are uber-persistent and chase me around despite my repeated pleas... at some point I stop, turn around, and threaten not only to grab their camera away from them, but smash it as well (aka. there is an embarrassing video of me at some really old dad's company party that's gotten me banned from all subsequent events). There are a very few I'd trust to take my pictures. One of those at the very top of the list is Junshien. I saw the pics from an engagement session he did for some friends of mine years back and always wanted thought to get some pics of my own done sometime. Finally with the big "30" coming up, I committed to it. And it was really fun. Junshien was able to work within my budget and tailor a package specifically based on what I wanted and where I wanted to do it. Junshien was friendly and put me completely at ease. When finding myself self-conscious about being in full makeup and curled hair in broad daylight on Santana Row, he encouragingly kept saying, "Don't worry, you'll never see these people again for the rest of your life". Throughout all the crazy costume changes I did in the backseat of the car to save time, Junshien kept a sharp lookout that no one could see me. When I was shivering with cold towards the end of the shoot he lent me his jacket and was a perfect gentleman throughout. It was adventurous, walking over railroad tracks in 4 1/2" stiletto heels, lying down on the driveway near someone's house, quickly shuffling from place to place for a few quick pics. It was interesting walking with him and seeing what would suddenly catch his eye or imagination. As for how the pictures turned out... I think some of the feedback I got from my close friends would probably be the most telling. Brother: "wow sis! I haven't seen you smile for photos since you were like 8 o_O" BF: "you look f----ing hot" + kept on muttering while looking through the pictures, "How did he get you to smile so much?!" Lori: "You look amazing!" Jin: "=) LOVE them!!" Tinna: "wow, they look great! :)" Neko M: "You look awesome! What do you mean you are not photogenic, tsk tsk : )" Ion: "You shine brightest when you smile 8-)" Teddy: "Chiyan, these pictures are wonderful!" The makeup artist had noticed people who go for a photosession end up going back to him multiple times, each time with a different theme or idea. They get hooked on it. I can see why. 100+STARS. read more

Junshien is an amazing photographer. If you like photos that capture the moment, definitely hire him to do your photos. He did my wedding last month and my engagement in April, and I was extremely happy. I recommend visiting his website if you want to see the quality work he does as well as visiting his blog, www.xanga.com/junshien. My current profile pic is his work. Aside from his technical abilities, he always made me feel comforatble and he was always friendly. I would highly recommend him to all of my family and friends if there were having wedding / want portraits done. read more

Let me start by saying this: Junshien is one of the best photographers I know. Not just wedding photographers, he is one of the best photographers, period. And to restrict him to that one profession is actually unfair. I say all this not because we chose him to be our wedding photographer, but because of the way he conducts himself on a daily basis and how his work is his life and his life is his work. We first spoke to Junshien over the phone to discuss our wedding package. We had a vision for how we wanted our wedding photos to look and Junshien fulfilled that vision perfectly. Without going into too much detail--since you can peruse his portfolio on his (very good) website--we felt that Junshien's style told a story, each photo induced an emotion, and basically made his subjects shine like stars. After a disappointing engagement shoot by a photographer we hired prior to Junshien, we had let the first photographer go and unfortunately (but totally appropriate), we lost our deposit with that photographer. So our tight budget became even more tight. Over the phone, Junshien empathized with our situation and immediately proposed a financial solution that made hiring him a reality. We were very happy with his flexibility. Upon officially engaging him as our wedding photographer, Junshien sent a detailed to-do list on how to prepare for the engagement photo shoot. It was basically the do's and don'ts of how look the best under the lens like exaggerating make-up and getting lots of rest the night before the shoot so we don't look like zombies. It was this attention to detail by our photographer we were looking for from the beginning. Our engagement shoot was in Sonoma, CA. We met in the popular town square area on a perfectly sunny day in early spring. While Junshien did use a few landmarks as the backdrop, the majority of the photos were taken where interesting angles, colors, and shapes existed such as random alleyways or an open grassy area (in which everyone's shoes, including my wife's heels, sunk into the wet mud) that lead to a deserted house. Yes, I understand that this is typical of a photographer, but given our experience with our first photographer, we really appreciated Junshien's artistic approach. Not only this, but Junshien's direction during the photo shoot was exemplary. He instructed us on exactly how he wanted us to stand, hold our hands, cross our arms, lean, laugh, smile, look important, and be romantic. (Junshien did make a point of how much I sucked at all of it during the wedding, all joking of course...and he's right, I'm not a natural, but boy did he do a good job of hiding my deficiencies at becoming America's Next Top Model). At the end of the day, Junshien provided everything we were looking for. He was friendly, pleasant, professional, efficient, flexible, responsive, and most importantly, he produced some stunning images, which became available fairly quickly. He is passionate about his work--he loves what he does--and it shows. What more can you ask for from your photographer? We have gotten countless compliments on how great his photos look and the only thing we can take credit for is that we chose him. Out of all the vendors we used for our wedding, Junshien is one of the few that we could genuinely call a friend. He is awesome, he is great. Hire him, you won't regret it. read more

I cannot rave about Junshien enough. I first saw his work a few months before I got engaged (good timing!) and I just KNEW he was the photographer for our wedding. His pictures are vibrant, artful, and lively. They honestly took my breathe away. The kicker is that making such great art doesn't go to his head. Junshien is an extremely sweet and down-to-earth person. He is very comfortable to be around, which is so very important when it comes to your big day. All in all, we don't regret splurging on quality photos of our engagement and wedding because it ended up being worth every penny. We also plan to continue being clients of his for our future photo needs. Check out the pictures on here and in his blog. They really do speak for themselves. read more

We hired Junshien for our June wedding and we were very pleased. He is easy to work with because he makes you feel comfortable... he kept us laughing during our wedding and engagement session and our bridal party commented on how funny he was. Keep in mind, it was so hot on our wedding day there was a heat advisory. Still, Junshien never complained and he had enough energy to keep our spirits up. He and his assistant arrived early in the morning and stayed after our brunch reception (almost ten hours) so that we could get more pictures. His professional demeanor was also appropriate. Very responsive to emails and calls so any time we had a question or needed to talk, he was available. Though we were married in California, we lived on the east coast for most of the wedding planning process so his willingness to keep in touch was important to us. We were even able to do our engagement session back east because he was already traveling to the area to photograph other clients. He seems to always be on the go, which was nice for us... we were looking for someone with lots of creativity and energy. The pictures we received were beautiful. It is a matter of taste but we were originally drawn to the vibrant colors and spontaneity of the pictures in his portfolio and were happy to see those things in our own pictures. I strongly encourage you to check out his website for yourself. He is constantly updating his website with his current work, which is nice because you get to see what he is up to THIS YEAR, not what he was up to three years ago. Junshien was also flexible about our package. We did not realize that the mini parent albums included in our package were 5"x5" albums. Those are just way too small. However, we were able to credit the parent albums toward enhancing our own wedding album. This was nice for us because we were able to put money toward things we wanted and he was very honest and fair about the credits we had built up. We haven't received our wedding album yet but I will try to update our review when we do. Overall, very pleased with photography by Junshien and would certainly recommend him to others. At the end of the day, we have hundreds of beautiful pictures and it was a pleasure to work with him for the year we were planning the wedding. We would work with him again read more

I had previously wrote a review for this photographer and it was deleted. Recently I had another chance to work with Junshien at my own wedding! The whole process of working with the team was easy, smooth, and friendly- all things brides need with the hecticness of planning the wedding! There were many small details that the team caught that I had overlooked. They also sent a lot of useful tips for planning and day of items that were super helpful. The day of the wedding was a big blur! But Junshien and his team were able to capture each moment of the day perfectly so that I was able to look at the photos and think "I remember that!" I wanted my photos to be bright and warm and thats just what he delivered. Thank you for everlasting memories!! read more

I am a simple girl. I've never been one to take countless pictures of myself to put on Facebook or what not. In fact, whenever the camera comes up, my smile flies out the door and I'm left with nothing but a horrible expression captured on film. I'm much better at taking pictures of things non-me related. Weddings are terribly stressful and even with all the planning, things go wrong and you look back and regret on some of the decisions made. The one decision my (now) husband and I wholeheartedly believe we made thee best choice was choosing Junshien as our photographer. His photos "spoke to us". Colors were vibrant, but not overly exaggerated. Angles were purposely selected to tell a story. Most importantly, the pictures are natural and do not look processed or photoshopped. Communication with Junshien and his studio staff was timely and thorough. During our shoot, his warm personality made me feel like we were spending time with an old friend. Our session couldn't have gone any smoother. Thank you so much Junshien! As I write this review, I am at a loss as to how to describe the level of quality that Junshien provides. A picture is worth a thousand words - look at one of his pictures, and you will understand what all these Yelp reviews are trying to say :) read more

If you're looking for a photographer who is genuinely nice, passionate about photography, extremely talented, professional, and fun, then Junshien is THE ONE! My husband and I met Junshien through a mutual friend back in 2008. At that time we were still searching for someone to shoot our August 2009 wedding. I can honestly say that we instantly "clicked" with him. I'm sure he gets this all the time, but he's seriously one of the nicest guys you will ever meet. Since we really liked Junshien's personality we felt that he would be a great choice as a photographer. We looked online at his website, blog, and portfolio and was instantly drawn to his style and amazing talent. We decided to book him right away (about 1.5 years in advance) for our wedding. Working with Junshien was a breeze. He was always responsive and e-mailed us back in a timely manner. He was always respectful in that he would ask for our opinions and worked within our budget. Our package included a 2 hour engagement session with Junshien which I highly recommend to all brides and grooms. The engagement session allows you to get to know your photographer better and gives you a glimpse of how things will flow (in terms of photography) during the actual wedding day. At first we felt kind of awkward trying to act natural in front of the camera, but Junshien really put us at ease and made us feel comfortable. On the day of the wedding, Junshien and his second shooter arrived promptly and quickly got to work. We had about 10 hours of wedding day coverage and he captured a lot of beautiful, intimate, and fun moments at our wedding. When we received our wedding album, we were absolutely blown away at all the images and the quality of them. Junshien did an incredible job and we're still getting compliments on our engagement and wedding pictures after a year later. I would recommend booking Junshien as soon as possible, at least in a year in advance since quality photographers get booked up pretty quickly. Junshien was hands down one of the best wedding vendors we worked with. He's hard working, committed, over delivers, and his passion for his work definitely shows through in his images. We don't think of him as just a great wedding vendor but also consider him a friend. read more

#1111 review. Plenty of 1's for an awesome amazing photographer. We booked Junshien for our wedding and we're super excited to see the pictures. I'm reserving my last star for when we see the results. A little bit of background on me... Back in 2005, I was finishing up in college when I came across some blogs. In them, I became fascinated with Scott Robert's work. Unfortunately back then, his price range was WAY out of my price range and I had no groom or potential groom in sight. A bride had blogged about Junshien and I started following his work when he used to post on Xanga. (Yeah, talk about scary stalker right??) So now fast forward 5 years, I was happily engaged and now I had to convince my then fiance/now husband that I NEEDED to book this photographer since I had my heart set on this guy shooting my wedding before I even met my fiance. Hm... that didn't come out right. Now if my fiance/now husband didn't care much about photographer, it would be a cinch, but he's the type to obsess about taking pictures/shooting and hiding out behind his dslr like me. In the end, he gave me his blessing after a very tense meeting with Junshien and I wrote out a check for the deposit (and cried since it was painful) and happily awaited our day. We had an engagement shoot which was painfully uncomfortable for me since I hate being in front of the camera but resulted in what I hope to be are beautiful wedding pictures. We shook out our nerves and had a blast with Junshien and his assistant photographer on our big day. read more

I'm going to give five stars right now, but my wedding is not until 08/31/08. Junshien is as good as it gets! My girlfriend and I have been following him like a crazy fan club. He is personable, wonderful with email (very important,) professional, and super sweet. Not to mention an extremely talented photographer. I will always remember when he went the extra mile at a shoot, even though it was 104 degrees outside and we were sweating like pigs! I am very happy with our engagement session. Update: Five stars all the way. Junshien is the best, our wedding pictures turned out wonderful! He was our favorite vendor, and a perfect choice. Mainly, I feel as though he has become a close friend. I can't wait to have him involved with the wedding. It's coming up...I will keep you posted. Go Junshien! read more

JUNSHIEN is such a talented photographer!! if yelp would allow me to give him more stars, i would so give him more!! I know he's a talented wedding photographer. However I wanted him to take some food photos for my new coffee/dessert shop, and he was so up for the task!! YES!! During our photo session, he was super neat and he exactly knew what he was doing. He took pictures of a sandwich, coffee, pesto danish, pasta, cheesecake and truffle lollipop!! When the proofs came out for me to choose, it was the most difficult thing that i had to do. They all look so amazing and after looking at them for 2 hours i had to stop, well it was because it all started to look the same. lol. At the end, when the photos came out from the lab, Junshien even delivered it to my shop and he even helped me put the photos on the menu board. WHAT A GENTLEMEN!!! =) and when those photos went up, i think i may had some tears in my eyes!! the photos just gave me a wake up call saying THIS is my shop!!! lol.... I just loved working him!! he is sweet, funny, talented and modest!! read more

He Also did my Henna Engagement Session he he he. You can check out and see what an amazing job he did by clicking here. http://www.junshien.com/1631/sunnyvale-wedding-photographer/ read more

Junshien and his team is a breeze to work with. Their warm personality shows up in their photos. We are lucky to have both Junshien and Tony as our photographers on our wedding day! They reviewed our wedding schedule with us item by item, and made helpful suggestions. Most importantly, they really helped to control the time according to our plan so there was no delay. They also worked with our videographers really well like a team. "We never had a chance to take so many takes as we did with Junshien. Usually we had to steal the couple away from the photographers" says one of our videographers. Most important thing is, the photos turned out amazing! They captured every moment and every details we would love them to capture, and they are so natural yet beautiful. If you are looking for heavy-photoshopped (and fake!) photos you probably will need to look for someone else. I just love their natural style. Looking at their photos make me feel warm and full of joy. And book early! They are very popular :) read more

I've been a fan of Junshien for the past ten years, and being able to work with him during our engagement session was absolutely incredible! From the start, the communication was super prompt and clear. He gave us detailed instructions of what to wear, props to bring, Etc. On the engagement day, we were super late, but Junshien was very accommodating and worked with us with the short time that we had. The weather condition that day was extremely windy, and the wind makes the 54 degrees weather felt even more bone chilling! Nonetheless, with Junshien's directives and coaching we made it through. Because of the condition, I didn't have high hopes for the result of the photos but Junshien's phenomenal talent is clear in our photos. The photos were filled with brilliant colors and energy. The lighting was surreal. We also really appreciate how Junshien captures the little details of the setting. Loooove his attention to the details!! Lastly, the delivery was also prompt and easy. We absolutely love the experience and photos. Thank you so much Junshien for these photos and capturing our love! read more
