about
Hi! I'm Xiaoqi ('cho-chee'; she/her). I've experienced firsthand how meaningful photographs become with time. They often become one of the few ways we can revisit a moment and feel close to the people we love.
That is why I approach weddings as both an artist and a memory keeper, creating timeless heirlooms that preserve your people, your emotions, and the intentional details that made your celebration uniquely yours.
Over the last decade, I've learned the best photographs are created when everyone is fully present and my presence simply fades away. Working together means having a trusted partner by your side, offering gentle guidance and exceptional care every step of the way.

a peek behind the scenes
It means the world to me to create these same kinds of time capsules for my couples, from all your favorite people to the unique and intentional details of your day.
As an immigrant and Chinese wedding photographer, I take great pride in celebrating the heritage of my couples. I have experience documenting a wide range of multicultural, interracial, and interfaith celebrations, and understand how deeply meaningful family traditions can be.
My hope is that these photographs become the same kind of cherished keepsakes for your family that they have been for mine.
Photography has always been a part of my family's story. It kept us connected while we lived continents apart.
When I was just four months old, my parents moved to the United States while I remained in China with my grandparents. Before the digital age, my parents watched me grow up through phone calls and photographs.
These prints quickly became cherished keepsakes. I moved to the United States when I was five, and my grandfather passed away before I was ever able to visit him again. It was my first experience with how quickly photographs become invaluable.
