Wedding photography is a career in which I can witness the most important and happiest moment in people’s life. I use what I have learned and experienced to create innovative artworks with narrative elements, and my work is something I am incredibly proud of. It is really wonderful that I could turn my passion into my career. More importantly, because of photography, I have made a lot of connections and friends in different professions and walks of life, I have experienced their different love stories, and been able to share their beautiful love with others.

Planning a wedding from California to Hawaii without ever seeing the venue was a challenge, but their expertise made the process so much easier. They even took time to visit the venue ahead of the big day to scout the perfect spots, which really spoke to their dedication. It was totally worth bringing them out to Hawaii!
On the day of, they made us and our families feel so welcome and comfortable. It genuinely felt like having friends by our side—Benji even stepped in to help tie my bow tie! Despite our wedding being 9 hours long, their happiness and energy never faded. They even came prepared with a collage of inspiration pictures to ensure our poses complemented our outfits.
We were so excited to see the photos and videos, and were completely surprised by how the sneak peeks arrived! We are already thinking about what other lifetime events they can capture for us. We highly recommend Vivi and Benji for your big day!
Photographers Vivi and Benji were fully engaged throughout the entire day, capturing countless beautiful moments while also offering gentle guidance on poses to ensure our photos looked natural and effortless.
Our Day-of Coordinator, Theresa, was equally exceptional. She helped guide our guests to the right places, managed the detailed timeline of our wedding, and handled unexpected situations with ease and composure.
As a couple, we couldn’t be happier with the La Venus Studio team. They are trustworthy, highly skilled, and truly went above and beyond to make our day unforgettable. We wholeheartedly recommend them.
On the wedding day, she truly went above and beyond. In the middle of a hot and hectic day, she was constantly checking in on us, helping with touch-ups, and making sure we looked and felt our best. We’re both camera shy, but her kind words, gentle instructions, and calm energy helped us relax and enjoy every moment.
She captured all the big, emotional moments and the small, quiet ones — the ones we didn’t even know we’d want to remember. We couldn’t have asked for a better person to document our day. Thank you for giving us memories we’ll treasure forever.
I am extremely picky about photography. After reaching out to 30 wedding photographers and interviewing 10, I knew right away when I started talking to Vivi that she was exceptional. Her photos are timeless, beautiful, balanced, and genuine. They look like fine art while also capturing the feeling of the moment. I was impressed by how she not only had an artistic eye, but is also very thorough and organized (speaking straight to my Type A heart). Her understanding of timelines, lighting, shot lists, and event flow is unmatched. Vivi is extremely professional—working quickly to share sneak peeks and edits, responding promptly, offering guidance and support, and always listening to feedback. Multiple vendors even commented on how great she was to work with.
While some photographers have a “you get what you get” attitude, Vivi maintains her own distinct portfolio style while also dedicating time to understand your lighting, color, style, vibe, and editing preferences. I highly recommend booking her for both engagement and wedding photos. Not only will you get amazing photos, but you’ll also get comfortable shooting with her—which is genuinely so fun. I don’t think I’ve ever had more fun on a photoshoot than with Vivi. :)
She even brought a veil and flowers to our shoot—just because she thought it would enhance the vision. That’s the kind of thoughtfulness she brings to every detail.
Most of all, Vivi is genuinely a kind, funny, energetic, and empathetic person. You can tell she loves what she does through her photos as well as the positive energy she brings to every event. I honestly feel like I made a friend just as much as I found the best photographer I possibly could have. Thank you so much, Vivi and team!
The quality of her work is truly editorial and professional, with an exceptional attention to detail that resulted in high-quality, perfect photos capturing all the special moments of our wedding day at San Francisco City Hall.
Vivi was extremely organized, creative and fun to work with, she made me feel like a princess and helped captivate beautiful moments between myself and my husband. Her assistant Benji was a valuable asset, ensuring every element like my dress, veil, and bouquet were strategically placed.
This dynamic photography duo is a dream come true, and we are thrilled with the memories they've captured for us to cherish forever. Vivi is now family to us, we adore her.
