Yen Yen + Davin Engagement!

Yen Yen just so happens to be my second cousin, but since we have a very large extended family and grew up on opposite ends of California, I’m just now getting to know her and, of course, Davin.  These two are so sweet and easy going that we had a lot of fun going through various parts of downtown San Francisco before ending up at Baker beach.  On the sandy hill just above the beach there are a ton of old Cypress trees that have been so windblown that half of their roots are above ground.  Yen Yen and Davin were such good sports as I had them climb through the roots and up and down the sandy hill.  We’re thrilled to photograph their wedding next spring!

Yen Yen + Davin in Novato, CA » Alison Yin Wedding Photography Blog - [...] Yen Yen and Davin were married more than a month ago (yes, I’m wayyy behind) at Stonetree Golf Club in Novato, and their day was quite an extravaganza!  We started with a Chinese tea ceremony at Yen Yen’s parents’ home in Oakland, then did a whirlwind tour of portraits throughout various spots in San Francisco, including riding a cable car, heading to Lyon St. Steps, and stopping off at Cavallo Point for some super windy portraits in front of the Golden Gate Bridge, before heading to Novato for a really lovely ceremony and reception.  Perhaps I’m somewhat partial, Yen Yen is one of my cousins, but this wedding was filled with so many beautiful and genuine moments and emotion between family and friends – I always feel so privileged to witness and document these moments.  Additionally, Yen Yen is a perfectionist, and she paid so much attention to creating beautiful details.  Her aunts and cousins did all of the gorgeous flower arrangements, she made the place cards, table decorations, ceremony ribbon streamers, and so much more.  But let’s let the photos speak for themselves.  Special thanks to Chris Jordan who helped step in as my second shooter while Adm was having back surgery (literally, on the same day!).
