Reviews
"On a scale from 0-100, he would definitely be 100 and then some. Junshien was so fun to work with. He is so versatile in his skills and perfectly captured every beautiful moment of our big day. He gave us advice on how to make the photographs that much more beautiful and meaningful—I could not be happier!"
"Junshien has a great eye for composing pictures and finding just the right place where the light strikes in just the right way and he was able to create so many amazing moments. We chose Junshien based on his work, the style of his photography, the pricing, and his personality (easy to work with, professional). We did our engagement shoot with Junshien and during that whole process, he made us feel very comfortable about being in front of the camera. Junshien was great about directing and giving tips on body placement while still giving us enough freedom to maintain a natural feel."
"I was immediately drawn to his ability to capture the entire wedding in a way that's natural, fresh and fun! They captured everything I wanted and more. The style was perfect, all the photos were crisp and filled with emotions and energy. They got a good mix of modern, traditional and candid shots. The contact was very clear. No hidden fees. No surprises."
"We were astounded by how little we noticed Junshien's team—which is what you want—and we were so thrilled with how beautiful and varied the photos they captured were! They were absolutely a calming force at the wedding. My bridesmaids and I were running late, OF COURSE! and had it not been for Junshien being there, I probably would've wound up in tears."
"I wore glasses on my wedding day, which could potentially be a photography disaster with shadows and glares. However, Junshien did not take one bad photo. I'm still blown away to this day."
"Our photos came out more beautiful than we could've imagined... we were incredibly happy with the sheer number of shots we had to choose from. They were able to provide us with several options for nearly EVERY one of the requested shots I'd asked for in our initial meetings—and then some! They got shots I didn't even know I really wanted, but wound up being my favorites in the end!"
"Junshien has an impeccable eye! He was the easiest of ALL my vendors to work with! He has a way about him that simply put me at ease and made me feel like the photos were pretty much the only thing I DIDN'T need to worry about. Junshien and his staff were a DREAM to work with! They went above and beyond, making themselves available to us via e-mail, phone, and text!"

Questions and Answers
What 3 words best describe your work?
Enchanting, vibrant, alive.What's your favorite quote?
"Tell me, what is it you plan to do, with your one wild and precious life?"—Mary Oliver. We love this quote because it's a reminder to live life to its fullest, to take nothing for granted. Our photography style descriptors—especially "vibrant" and "alive"—really harken to this philosophy. The photos we shoot are not just about a wedding day—they're a celebration of life and love, of friendship and family.If you could have any superpower on the job, what would it be?
Invisibility! Clients already describe us as very "ninja" and unobtrusive during the wedding day, and it's true—we make a very conscious effort to blend in even while striving to get "the shot." But if we could straight up be invisible, we could probably capture so many more amazing moments that our wedding albums would have to be split into multiple volumes!Tell us about a favorite, unusual or very interesting moment at a wedding:
We once walked into a reception hall that had almost no decorations, which was surprising because most of our couples put in a good amount of thought and money into their reception details. As photographers, it's so easy to make the day all about the details and the floral arrangements and the decorations. Not only are they pretty to photograph, but that's what wedding magazines and blogs and designers focus on! However, at this wedding, we were immediately struck by something else we don't always notice—a feeling of warmth and genuine friendship that emanated throughout the entire room and among all the guests. Most weddings will have some guests who are there out of obligation, but at this one, it really seemed that every single person there loved the couple and were honestly excited to be celebrating their day! This reminded us that despite the thousand other things that make up a wedding day, this is what weddings are really all about—love, friendship, and family.What is the best advice you give a couple when planning their wedding?
Hire a wedding planner! Not only can they take the stress away, but having one can make the whole wedding planning process fun again. Wedding planners and designers have gone through the process hundreds of times, and can take you from point A to point B a whole lot quicker than if you had to do all the research yourself and figure things out from scratch!What are some sources of inspiration or influences on your work?
The wind reminds us of freedom, open fields remind us of joy, and the sky reminds us of love. Because of that, nature plays a huge part in our imagery. Traveling the world opens our eyes to different ways of seeing things, which in turn is incorporated in our shooting. Music videos are also a source of inspiration. Just like with wedding photography, music videos are an attempt to take an emotion and convert it into a visual form that is appealing, intriguing, and tells a story.How many people are on your team?
Junshien might be the face and name of the studio, but we also have Tony and Nate shooting as lead photographers. Christina is our studio manager, and handles most of the emails and administrative work. She's also a certified makeup artist, and many of our clients choose to go with her. We have a roster of assistant photographers, along with a video team!Map
