I'm so glad I found Phoenix to shoot our engagement photos! Phoenix was a pleasure to work with from start to finish. He accommodated us on short notice and was very communicative leading up to the photo shoot. When we met Phoenix, I loved how relaxed and friendly he was, which made it easy for us to pose for photos (and usually my fiancé feels awkward taking photos!) Phoenix has a great eye for lighting and landscape, and we absolutely loved the final results. My fiancé and I had an amazing experience shooting with Phoenix, and we are more than thrilled with our photos. We highly recommend Phoenix!!! read more

Phoenix deserves 6 stars!!! Phoenix was the first photographer that I met, and I decided to hire him as my wedding photographer after we had little chat. I especially like the feeling of explaining love from his camera. My wedding was in Nestldown, and I thought his style would be a perfect match with my venue. We went to check the venue once and Phoenix came up with exactly what I wanted. It's really important to find a photographer who understands you. On my wedding day, Phoenix and his assistant arrived on time with nice outfits;) They worked very well with my wedding coordinator. For retouching session, if you care about details, Phoenix is the right person you're looking for! Phoenix is very patient and very precise. It was a great experience to work with Phoenix and his team. I would def recommend him to anyone looking for a professional wedding photographer. Millions Thanks!!!! read more

I thought I had left a review for Phoenix a long time ago - but I just realized I didn't!! I was browsing photos to print as magnets for the fridge when I thought to flip back through my wedding photos. He's AMAZING. Hire him. Now. All the photos (without photoshop) came out SUPER beautiful. And I got to relive the day. I love all the photos Phoenix took!! Seriously he's the best. He's also really nice and chill, super easy to get along with!! I did an engagement shoot and had him take my wedding day photos. His photos were 1000x better than the ones we took at a high end photo studio in Korea (which over-photoshopped us), and btw we flew all the way over there and paid a ton for it. In hindsight I didn't need those Korea photos because I never wanna look at them (we just look un-natural and pretentious), but I keep smiling at the ones Phoenix took. My wedding was two years ago - and I tell all my friends about Phoenix :). I think I found him through browsing top photos in some chinese weibo. This was back when he didn't have as many yelp reviews, but he is popular in chinese media!! read more

We hired Phoenix for our wedding day. He was recommended to us by a few brides who hired him earlier. After looking at the photos on his website and chatting with him, we decided to end the search of our photographer. On our wedding day, Phoenix arrived on time with his assistant. You could imagine how crazy a wedding day could be. But Phoenix stayed cool and calmed us down. He made subtle suggestions of wonderful photography venues and let us decide. We felt so lucky that we followed his suggestions. The raw photos came out amazing. I was a bit worried about the reflection of ocean in a sunny afternoon but the color came out so vivid and beautiful. The sunset photos look absolutely amazing. Both my Dad and father-in-law are very serious in front of cameras but Phoenix was able to capture them smiling and enjoying themselves. Phoenix is very diligent with photo retouching. He offered to retouch a second round if we are not happy with the first round. He slimmed my mother-in-law which makes her very happy. He brightened girls' skin tone without me even asking. Retouched photos looks natural and beautiful. We will definitely recommend him to our friends and hire him again for our future memories :) read more

Phoenix is a very professional photographer. He took us to 6 places in San Francisco during the day and shot very high quality photos. Phoenix knows the weather and arranges the perfect order of places to go. He plays so well with the light so the portrait and the scene are always in harmony. After the shooting, Phoenix carefully edited our selected photos and satisfied all our demands. We would highly recommend Phoenix to be your photographer for wedding photos. read more

We hired Phoenix to take our engagement photos - 2 hour session at Moss Beach and Fitzgerald Marine Reserve. We loved how his photos are not too photoshop and more about natural lighting.

Phoenix Wang is an excellent and reliable photographer. Highly recommended. A couple of months back my girlfriend and I were looking for a photographer for our engagement photo shoot. We ran into his profile on Weibo and were really impressed by the photos he put on his personal page. So we decided to contact him and try him out. We met at a cafe in San Francisco to go through the details of the photo shoot. Turned out he was very thoughtful, meticulous and professional, so we believed he would be the right guy for the job. He is very good at what he does. We had our photos taken at 5 places in the bay area for two days. He did a perfect job taking us to the perfect places, showing us the perfect pose, picking the perfect angle...etc. Everything was perfect. He is so good at recording every memorable moment of love, happiness and intimacy that not only the photos he took but also the entire two-day trip will be one of the most sweet and unforgettable memories in my life. read more

Phoenix did a very great job for our wedding photos. We had a wonderful 2 day photo shooting experience. He understand what we need and always nice to us. In our 2 day SF and surrounding area short trip, he can always surprise us with some beautiful secret places that we never seen before. After we receive the ending retouched products, we are so excited because they are natural processed and not over edited, which is exactly what we want. Highly recommended!!! read more

We feel so lucky that Phoenix was our photographer for our wedding! First, who plans a wedding in 3 months? Us. Who can make everything work, even with a last minute covid or change in the weather? Phoenix. He is such a professional nothing phases him and the quality of his work is honestly breathtaking when seeing him reel off precise and well composed shots and giving rapid and clear instructions for the engagement shoot. You really get a lot of amazing content for his time he's like an athlete that is dialed in to his craft. His knowledge of the top spots around the city is superb that every couple would love to have. During the wedding he captured perfect moments that only someone who truly cares about wedding photography can obtain. He took some amazing sunset winery photos in the backdrop of our wedding that we will truly cherish for the rest of our lives. They say that the only thing left after you wedding is long over are your photos and we're so happy we went with Phoenix. We are definitely recommending him to our friends in the Bay! read more

Before we contacted Phoenix, I already knew about him. Friends recommended him to me and I have been following his Instagram for a while. Love his style! Phoenix is very kind and nice but also quick at capturing what he wants with his camera. We like the products and really enjoy the shoot with Phoenix. Highly recommend him to friends and families :) read more

Phoenix was super fun to work with, both for our engagement photos and wedding day photos. On the engagement photo day, we went around to a few spots in SF after getting a little bit dolled up and we had so much fun! He really knew how to find interesting lighting to take advantage of. On our wedding day, we had a great experience because he was flexible with our schedule and it was not one of those days where the wedding couple doesn't get to eat because all they're doing is taking pictures. He also helped us get some really great sunset pictures on a nearby farm. We would definitely recommend Phoenix for engagement photos and/or wedding day photos. read more

Phoenix is a great photographer. He is able to use camera to catch the beauty in itself. And he is gifted with the ability to utilize sun light. During our session at SF, we visited 6 amazing places. Phoenix shot a lot of wonderful photos. Some photos are perfect, not even need retouching. Phoenix is also a very kind and hardworking man. I can feel he really devotes himself into photography. He is very patient with customers as well. I highly recommend him. read more

Phoenix is the best! He took photos for my simple wedding/registration at SF city hall, also took us to several beautiful outdoor spots for extra photos.

He even helped us cleaned(PSed) the chaotic background in several photos to makes it the way we want! Highly recommend him. read more

My fiancee and I had our engagement photos taken by Phoenix Wang in Northern California this summer. Phoenix is an excellent independent photographer and we are very pleased with the shots. We had the majority of our photos taken in San Francisco and Carmel area over a course of two days. Unlike some of the studio photographers who like to use flash and artificial lighting excessively, Phoenix is very creative in using the environment and natural light. The results are exceptionally natural and gorgeous photos. In addition, the retouches on selected photos are also nicely finished, but not overly done. The photos in his galleries are fairly representative of the end product we received. Overall we had a very good experience and would definitely recommend Phoenix Wang. read more

Phoenix is really a professional photographer. My wife and I were planning to have a pre-wedding photography in SF bay area. My wife found him on Sina Weibo and contacted him. He is very nice and we had a meeting together in person to discuss about the details of the service and chat a lot. On that day, his wife Wingka was his assistant, and I drove my car together with my wife and them. We chose around 5 spots in SF: a small hill near his home, city hall, golden gate bridge, Palace of Fine Arts and downtown SF. It took us around 6-7 hours (3:00pm - 10:00pm) to complete the whole process. He used Nikon D3S and professional lens. The pictures were really nice even before PS. He gave us all the original photos and PSed photos after several weeks. All are in very good quality. To put it this way, as a amateur fan of photography myself, I dream of taking photos like these. His photos are not stereotyped like different people in the same background, he values the natural way instead of posing, and that's what I like. All in all, as a service provider, he is very nice and patient, as a photographer, he is very professional. Check his facebook/instagram/flicker if you need more information read more

Phoenix is a great photographer to work with. He has a good eye for taking pictures in multiple surroundings. He is also a nice person to talk to about your requests and ideas. We took photos at SF city hall and Mission Bay. Our family and friends really like the photos. I would recommend him. read more

Mr.Wang is excellent. He is good at capture natural and beautiful moments. He didn't use too much tools,such as flashlight or reflector. He prefer to use the natural light--sunlight is the best. The picture looks gorgeous and natural. More importantly, he is patient and friendly. He didn't mind the photography ran over time a little. But it took a long time to get the final pictures, because he is super busy. I hope the retouching effect could be better. read more

It's a great experience!! Awesome photo shooting skills and amazing scenery picking from best view of Golden Gate Bridge to downtown SF. Definitely worth it and I would strongly recommend it! read more

We hired Phoenix Wang to shoot for our wedding day and two 3-hr post-wedding sessions after talking to and interviewing 6 different photographers. We loved Phoenix's landscape photos online and decided to travel to SF to meet with him in person. We enjoyed talking to him and loved the additional photos he showed up. Compared to the other photographers we talked to, Phoenix offered very competitive price and was very flexible in terms of package details, starting time, etc. We would like to travel to beautiful places such as Mt Tam for post-wedding sessions, and Phoenix kindly agreed that the travel time is not included in the photoshoot. On our wedding day, Phoenix and his secondary photographer did a great job covering the whole event. I am most happy with the photos of our prepared dances. We had two complicated dances and the movements were fast. Phoenix was able to capture most of the interesting moments. The photos came out focused and sharp in low-lighting environment. Phoenix was also very diligent with photo retouching. He asked us for feedbacks after first round of retouching and then patiently did a second round of retouching according to our requests. For our post-wedding photoshoot, Phoenix was very nice to allow us to reschedule upon short notice due to undesirable weather condition. Our second photoshoot also took longer than 3 hours. We were very happy with the resulting photos. read more

Phoenix is an excellent photographer. He does not only shot amazing photos, but also is a very nice and patient person. He understands that newly-weds want everything to be perfect. So he spent a lot of time addressing our requests and concerns. For example, when we did our engagement photo shooting, we really wished that we could get a photo with the cable car in the background. However, that required some luck, as it gotta be a red light to stop the cable car. We waited for a long while and tried many times. Finally we got a good shot! Phoenix tried his best to make our dream come true. I would highly recommend him as a photographer. read more

We were trying to find a photographer for city hall license& ceremony session, and finally decided to go with Phoenix as we were impressed by his portfolio. Though there is no one-hour city hall package on Phoenix's website, I asked him about this and he kindly offered with no issue at all. On the same day of the ceremony, he gave us four briefly retouched photos for us to post to wherever we'd like to, so we would have the actual date stamp on social platforms as a memory record. The final retouched photos are lovely too! It was a totally easy and happy one hour working with Phoenix. read more

Our experience and our photos were excellent! He chose amazing locations and took fantastic shots. All our friends and family love the photos, and so do we! We highly recommend his service. read more

My fiance and I had our engagement photos taken by Phoenix Wang on a two-day road trip in Lake Tahoe and San Fransisco. He knows so many fantastic secret spots that we can never discover by ourselves. The pictures we took in Lake Tahoe are like paintings. He is very patient and friendly. He tried his best to satisfy our requests. I told him that we like those natural pictures along streets and night view pictures in downtown San Fransisco. We walked and ran in the middle of a countryside road in Lake Tahoe for more than 20 times, and he helped us try different directions, gestures, and facial expressions very patiently. We also crossed a street in downtown San Fransisco so many times in order to avoid cars and capture our best moments. He never gets tired! In addition, he is also very professional and experienced. He did not use many fancy tools; he used his camera to capture the most natural and beautiful moments. We also like his ways of retouching pictures. They look very natural but romantic. In short, Phoenix is such a hard working and talented photographer. read more

Phoenix is an amazing photographer and he's incredibly easy to work with.
