Siliang was the most amazing photographer for our wedding ceremony and reception! Easy to book with, great at capturing the energy of the day, and quickly delivered beautiful photos. As a couple who prefers candid + in-the-moment shots, all of our pictures came out so wonderful and full of life.

lt really at ease with him, which made working with him during the day of the wedding a delightful experience. His photography style itself is so beautiful---super natural, organic, and unpretentious. His photos of our wedding perfectly captured all the movement, joy, and serendipitous magic of the day. Plus he took both digital and film photographs, and we love having both. We truly cannot recommend him enough!

Siliang and Yinying made our wedding day so special! Photos and videos are the only parts of the day you can treasure afterwards, so we looked high and low for different photograph...

ers and videographers. We were not disappointed -- the documentary style really captured the special and candid moments of our day. The pair were so attentive, running around to get the perfect shot from the perfect angle without being intrusive or getting in the middle of the moment. Just so professional, thoughtful, and kind! Would highly recommend. Thank you Siliang Photography for capturing the beautiful memories!

Absolute undeniable talent, that’s the best way I can describe Siliang’s work. Not only does he check all of the boxes for what everyone would want (on time, courteous, engaged and...

adaptable) but he (and his lovely partner) offered us something no other photographer could, which was his talent and style. Watching our wedding video, the way he uses his cinematic skills, it’s just - I don’t even have the words. I love all of our photos, I love our video, and I absolutely love his photography style. Siliang preserved the memories from our wedding and made them presentable to us in the form of a dreamy movie, and I’m so happy he was available on our wedding date. Thank you, Siliang!

Zelig K

Siliang was incredible! Very responsive, professional and we loved his candid style with our intimate ceremony. Highly recommend working with him!!

ded to hire someone who was really talented with candid-type photos. As soon as I saw Siliang’s portfolio, I knew I had to hire him. Not only are Siliang’s photos very eye catching, but they also help tell a story and convey emotion which I think makes them so much more compelling to look at than any other wedding photographer’s photos that I’ve seen. His photos are more like pieces of art. Siliang managed to capture the most beautiful moments of our elopement. My husband and I are camera shy, but Siliang understood that and made us feel very comfortable. I was blown away by the end result. He has a true talent and a great, artistic eye. During our interactions, Siliang was also very professional and responsive. He arrived at the location on time. You must hire him as your photographer!!

Pranay S

My husband and I hired Siliang to photograph our wedding ceremony and reception in San Francisco on June 2, 2023, and we are so happy we did! From the very beginning, Siliang was s...

uper easy to communicate with. We had an intro call and then he toured the venue with us. We ended up postponing our wedding by a year, and also changed the reception venue and Siliang was very accommodating and empathetic throughout. On the day of, he worked with a co-photographer. In just over 3 weeks after the wedding, he shared more than a thousand photos with so many amazing ones! He captured the day perfectly and struck a great balance of posed, candid, fun, emotional and several delightfully unexpected photographs! He is not your run of the mill wedding photographer who is heavy on post-edits or added effects. His aesthetic and style of photography is very matter of fact - he will find moments that truly capture the day and make photos that are pleasing, insightful and evocative. I am a fan of his approach and I love that it imparted truthfulness and timelessness to our wedding photos without being overdone. If that speaks to you, hire Siliang now!

Julia L

We worked with Siliang for our engagement photos and we loved them so much that we worked with him further for our civil wedding and ceremony wedding! All our photos from all three...

sessions were beautiful. We specifically asked for candid, no posed shots because my husband hates posed photos, and he did just that in the most beautiful ways possible! Very easy to work with. Very easy to get in touch. You can tell he does photography with passion. He stayed longer than the scheduled time to get more shots with different sky lighting. He went over and beyond our expectations - thank you!!

phing us made us feel so comfortable and allowed us to be super natural and present at every moment. We can’t wait to see the digital and film photographs he took for us! We also felt like he was was very reasonably priced compared to other digital and film wedding photographers in the Bay Area. Would recommend him in a heartbeat!

obtrusively capturing the best candid shots you could imagine -- people at their best, having a great time, perfectly framed. He got fantastic shots of a bunch of our guests that we're excited to share with them. He has a great eye for composition too: our wedding and engagement were both outdoors and Siliang used the nature, trees, reflections on water, sunset, etc. in really gorgeous ways. He was easy to work with and went above and beyond. We wholeheartedly recommend him!

Siliang was incredible - he somehow managed to both be everywhere at once but never in the way or even noticeable. He keyed into all the best moments, and delivered a really except...

ional product that told the story of the day. He doesn't focus just on the frameable shots (though he certainly got those in abundance), he focuses on documenting the true experience. Really exceptional work and we are so lucky to have found him.

lability through to the day of. Siliang was extremely flexible with our requests, and everyone at the wedding was impressed with how hard he and his partner worked to capture all the action. We just got the photos back (much quicker than expected!) and are delighted with the results. Siliang was an absolute joy to work with - highly, highly recommended.

Marcos E

Silian was and is phenomenal, not only did his flight get pushed back due to a storm but he managed to hop on a flight that landed thebday of and he came straight to the wedding p...

reparations for pictures. He has an incredible eye for angles, catching the right moments and effects that bring that high quality dream wedding pictures to your front screen. He is self managed at an event, the type of person you don't even have to go ask him to take photos of a certain group or capturing a time in a picture because he already beat you to it. He also had the pictures ready way ahead of the projected time. I highly recommend him for any kind of event specifically and specially if it is your wedding. Gloria and I thank you from all corners of our hearts.

Karen R

Siliang takes the most artistic and creative photos! We didn’t want the same old posed and awkward photos, we wanted a more natural and artistic approach. We had high expectations ...

and Siliang still impressed us! We have so many fun and unique engagement and wedding photos that we honestly don’t know where to begin in picking the best ones. Such a good problem to have! In planning a wedding through COVID, Siliang was also our easiest vendor to work with, he was so flexible with the changes and that was really helpful for us!

Chris C

We were super close to booking another photographer, but kept putting it off because something just didn't feel quite right. We stumbled across Siliang's work and from the very fir...

st call we had with him, we knew that he was the photographer for us! He is down to earth, friendly, and easy to work with, and the pictures he takes are absolutely stunning. He immediately became like family to us, so much so that people at our wedding just thought he was one of our friends (which by that point he was!) He is great at capturing those "in between" moments, and making you feel completely comfortable in front of the camera. He is up for any adventure and really fun to be around and work with. He was so flexible and accommodating, and was a huge help even during our planning process, offering us insight and advice to make our day go as smoothly as possible. We could not be happier with our pictures and the whole experience of working with Siliang. You can't go wrong with booking him, so stop your search and book him now!

I absolutely plan to hire him for future life events because of how incredible our photos turned out to be!

Siliang is an excellent wedding photographer! We went for a SF city hall ceremony two weeks ago, and I have received all pictures this week. My whole family and I LOVE these photos...

so much. I checked several SF photographer's profile before and found I like Siliang's style most. He is so good at capturing details, details of people, scenario, accessories, light and shadow. It is not just about good looking pose at ceremony. It is more about what people do, how people feel on that day. All the emotion conveyed through the pictures are so real. Thanks for make this big day memorizable.
