Testimonials

It was an absolute pleasure working with Yao for our engagement and wedding photos and video. Yao has a creative eye and is able to easily take in his environment and capture stunning photos. His use of light and nature add a unique element to photos. As well, working with Eric for our wedding video - we were blown away with how he was able to pull together all the key elements of our wedding day into a wonderful movie like video. We are very thankful Yao and Eric were able to capture our engagement and wedding, giving us a timeless gift we can cherish forever.

ASHLEY & STEPHEN

Hiring Yao and Elf Studio was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. From start to finish, Yao was professional, kind, organized, and made us feel completely at ease.

On our wedding day, he captured every important moment beautifully while keeping everything relaxed and natural. Just days later, we received a sneak peek gallery, and we were absolutely blown away. The photos are stunning—they captured not only how our wedding looked, but how it felt.

What truly sets Yao apart is how much he genuinely cares about his couples. We never felt like just another client.

Thank you, Yao, for giving us memories we'll cherish for a lifetime.

We had a wonderful experience with Elf wedding studio. Our friends and family were so impressed with them too! They were on time, professional, friendly, and helped us feel comfortable taking all of the photos. Yao was accommodating with the contract during covid times. The photos were so beautiful and they captured many candid photos too. The photo turnaround time was quick. I love the light and airy look of the photos. The video they made was also amazing!!! Plus, they gave us all of the video footage from the wedding so we have wonderful memories. Elf Wedding studio was everything I could have asked for!
