Vivi Lin Photographer | Reviews

We had an absolutely wonderful experience working with our wedding photographer Vivi! Her photography skills are truly outstanding — every photo captured the emotions and details of the day so beautifully. She has an amazing eye for composition and lighting, and the final results exceeded all our expectations.

On top of that, she is incredibly nice and easy to work with. She made us feel relaxed and confident throughout the entire shoot, which made such a big difference on such an important day. She was also extremely professional and well prepared — the bouquet she prepared for us was absolutely gorgeous and added so much to the overall look of the photos.

Her positive energy and encouragement really meant a lot to us, and we felt so supported during the whole process. We couldn’t recommend her more to anyone looking for a talented, thoughtful, and professional wedding photographer. Highly recommend booking her!

Vivi and Benji were an absolute joy to work with! From our very first call, we were impressed by Vivi’s attention to detail, but what truly blew us away was how much heart they put into our day. We had a traditional Nepalese wedding, and they went above and beyond to research our culture, ensuring they understood every aspect of the ceremony.
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!

Vivi’s experience shines through in everything she does. We had Vivi and Benji as our photographer team for our civil ceremony. Fr om the very beginning, her communication was excellent, and she helped us feel fully prepared well before our session even started. She navigated our City Hall ceremony with total expertise, knowing exactly wh ere the best lighting would be for the specific time of day and season. She took all the stress out of the logistics by planning a detailed timeline and even suggesting the perfect lunch spots for us to refuel.

We also did an outdoor shoot at the Legion of Honor and were absolutely blown away by the fantastic results. Vivi has a way of making you feel completely at ease; we spent the whole session laughing, which made for such natural photos. I know that when we look back at these pictures many years from now, we will still be so grateful. We will cherish these memories forever. We feel so lucky to have had her as our photographer!

Vivi helped us with our marriage ceremony photos at SF City Hall, and she is an absolute expert. She knows every detail of how to capture beautiful photos at SF City Hall, and her friendly personality makes her incredibly easy to communicate with. We only had about a month to prepare for our wedding ceremony, which was quite stressful, but she guided us through the entire preparation process and helped us feel fully ready in a short amount of time.
On the day of the ceremony, Vivi was extremely patient and guided us through every step. She is very familiar with the best locations at City Hall and knew exactly how to pose us to get stunning photos. After the ceremony, she continued to be very responsive and promptly answered all of our questions. We highly recommend her!

Vivi is an absolute lifesaver for our wedding. As a bride, the stress on the big day can be overwhelming, but Vivi managed everything flawlessly: coordinating everyone according to the timeline and calming my nerves along the way. She has an incredible eye for detail, noticing what’s missing and offering moral support when I needed it most. The photos captured far more than I could have imagined, and I’ve received so many compliments from friends and family: many said they would also book her for their upcoming weddings. She is, without a doubt, the choice!observing what's missing and provide moral support. Her pictures captured so much more than i could have imagined. If you are looking for the perfect pictures for your wedding, you should definitely choose ViVi

We hired La Venus Studio for both photography and Day-of Coordinator services for our wedding, and their team was absolutely outstanding. Their professionalism and dedication far exceeded our expectations.

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.

Vivi is a very professional photographer with extensive knowledge and skills. We hire her group, not only because of the amazing photos they deliver, but also their thoughtful tips for preparing the wedding and the photo, such as recommended dressing, photo poses, makeups, lighting, wedding schedule etc. I feel we are not hiring someone for photographing, but indeed get a best friend to help us host our wedding with every details. I would definitely recommend Vivi’s group for your big day as early as possible, since Vivi’s group is so popular and well-loved by everyone.

We are absolutely thrilled with our wedding photos! Vivi and her team is incredibly professional, well-prepared, and punctual—she arrived early to scout the best spots and ensured everything ran smoothly. Her attention to detail was remarkable; she captured every special moment, from candid laughs to the smallest, most meaningful touches. Her expertise and calm presence made us feel completely at ease, and the final images are stunning—far beyond our expectations. If you want a photographer who is talented, organized, and truly cares about delivering perfection, look no further. Thank you for preserving our memories so beautifully! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

We’re beyond grateful to have had Vivi as our wedding photographer. Her professionalism and dedication were on full display from the very start — not just on the wedding day, but throughout all the prep leading up to it. She patiently guided us through the planning process, helped us feel confident with timelines and poses, and was always just a message away when we had questions.

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.

My husband and I are forever grateful to Vivi and her team for our stunning engagement and wedding photos. From beginning to end, it was clear that Vivi is not only passionate about photography, but about each client’s unique story and desires for their experience. She has a deep understanding of wedding planning that allows her to ensure you’re able to enjoy the day while also capturing the pictures you want.
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!
