Long is unbelievable 😍 I hardly have the words to describe how happy we are with him and his work. I am a photographer myself, so going into this, I had high expectations. He made us feel insanely comfortable, got us laughing, made us feel confident and most importantly, didn't pose us! His prompts provided us with the most natural of photos and he truly just captured our love. I couldn’t imagine trusting anyone else with some of the most important photos of our lives. We absolutely love you, Long. He will be our go-to photographer for the rest of our lives. -

Amazing Experience
Long was so genuine throughout the day of the wedding. He took so many in the moment shots that turned out beautifully. His pictures do not seem over edited and just look beautiful. He took the time to meet with us two times prior to the wedding to make sure we had all our questions answered. Above and beyond happy with the final product. ❤️ -

Long was absolutely incredible. Not only did he take the time to meet with us multiple times leading up to our wedding to talk through our vision and help us plan out the day, he went so far above and beyond on our actual day.
Throughout our entire wedding day Long set us at ease. He never made us feel rushed or like taking pictures was a chore, but he kept things moving and found the most amazing locations with the best lighting. Our day happened to be uncomfortably hot out, but he kept us laughing and worked right through it, never complaining. His calm demeanor allowed us to enjoy the day together and with our families stress-free, while capturing photos that we will cherish for a lifetime.
Our photo album quality was everything I had hoped for and more. He has the most amazing ability to capture lighting softly while also bringing out warmth and bright colors. He truly has an artist's eye for photo composition and while his poses were simple and natural, he captures such a wide range of focal points and angles.
We were so fortunate to have gotten to work with Long and highly recommend him to anyone searching for a photographer!
To Long: thank you, thank you, thank you -

Long was the first person we hired for our wedding after we booked the venue, and we couldn't have been happier we chose him to shoot our wedding. I fell in love with the style of his work because it is beautiful but also feels very honest. Photography was very important to me, but feeling true to ourselves was the most important thing on the wedding day. I feel like Long understands how important this is and did an amazing job making us feel comfortable from the first day we met to the day of the wedding. We have so many beautiful photos of us along with our friends and family to share. Thank you! -

We love Long!!
The one thing we really wanted for our wedding and engagement photos was a great photographer and we got that and much more. Long went above and beyond for us. He is truly an artist and is so amazing at what he does. We recommend Long to anyone who is looking for a photographer. He is also my brother’s photographer for their upcoming wedding as well! You will not be disappointed!! He is absolutely one of a kind! -

ABSOLUTE DREAM! Still on a high from seeing our wedding photos...
Long's photography speaks for itself in every way, but I can speak especially to who he is as a person. Long has a true gift in understanding your vision without you having to say a word. Our engagement photos are an absolute DREAM. Our wedding day - priceless moments are forever cemented because of his work. He captured so many moments that I myself missed. I thought to myself so many times - how did he capture that? I don't even remember him being there! And that's what you want from a photographer. He was there every step of the way, but truly made Tony and I feel like we were the only people in the world. We spent HOURS swooning over our photos once we got them. I truly cannot recommend him enough to any bride and groom who want their wedding day captured in the most magical way possible. -

Svante L. Sent on 12/20/2023We had a fantastic time with Long!
Finding a photographer was something of a last minute endeavor for us; with a few upsets throughout our wedding planning process, we wanted to make sure we found a photographer that fit in our budget, and was available to work on our date! Looking through reviews for various photographers, we found Long and reached out to him. We loved his photo work, and he quickly got back to us almost right after reaching out! Our first meeting with him felt much more personal than just a business meeting, and he was able to work within our budget range and with our upcoming wedding date, and do an additional engagement session.
The day of, Long was efficient and professional, letting us know exactly how he wanted to take the pictures, and helped guide us through the whole process. When we got our photos back, it was clear we had made the right choice to have Long do our photography. All of the pictures were gorgeous and well-edited, capturing key moments throughout our night and immortalizing our wedding. Thank you again Long for your hard work! -

Working with Long was one of the best decisions we made for our big day. He took amazing photos, but went above and beyond to help with everything!!! From helping me with the timeline to fixing my dress and moving decor- he did the most amazing job!!! He really cares about the people he works with, and he made our day! Also I was a little worried about the fact that he doesn't have a second shooter- but it was not even slightly an issue. He got all the shots and more! Can't recommend enough. Also when my grandpa was passing he took time out of his busy schedule to edit and send me photos of our wedding early so that I could share them. That was the biggest gift ever. -

He Captures Moments You'll Never Forget
We were lucky enough to have Long work with us for our wedding on 10/21/2023 and - to put it plainly - it was the best decision we made during the whole process. From FaceTimes, text messages, emails, to the big day, Long was knowledgable and always attentive to little details about our style and found ways to incorporate them into his work. Our only regret about choosing Long was that - after getting to know him - we wished he could have been both our photographer and a cherished guest :) -

Photos that make your memories feel just like they were yesterday.
Long Yau is the best photographer that I've ever had the pleasure of working with. From the very beginning, Long was transparent, open, and willing to answer all of our questions about the wedding planning process and his role in our big day. We scheduled an engagement session with Long a few months before the wedding - an experience that I highly suggest because (1) it was a wonderful opportunity for both sides to get to know one another and (2) I was able to get hyped up for the wedding photos because the engagement shoot turned out SO well. Long is quick, efficient, and has an uncanny ability to capture the energy of a room in a photograph. Every time I look at the photos from my wedding, I feel completely transported back to that day. Sure, we have our staged photos with families, but the photos that really astounded me were the moments that Long captured where hugs are exchanged, tears are falling, and people are enjoying a wonderful day filled with life's greatest treasure, love! Don't walk, RUN, to schedule a consultation with Long. It was the best and most important decision that we made for our wedding. -

Long was our favorite vendor period. If you look at his gallery, his photos speak for themself. I especially love his ability to capture energy and love on the dance floor. In addition to being an incredibly talented talented photographer, Long's humor and ability to make you feel at ease make the experience fun and create natural-looking pictures. Long was also very responsive, communicative and speedy with the photos. We love Long!! -

Long is an absolutely amazing photographer and person; we are so happy that we got to work with him and have him capture our special day. During our engagement shoot, Long made us feel so comfortable, natural, and made sure we were having fun -- which truly transforms the way the pictures look. Joy and love are palpable in all of the pictures Long takes of his couples, and it's a testament to his approach to photography and his emphasis on storytelling. He really manages to capture a love story in each of his images and image sequences -- it truly is almost like a movie, literally a sequence of pictures that create and emulate motion. While he finds beautiful and aesthetic spots to take certain pictures, Long also works magic with just a simple background, using light and his remarkable editing prowess to create evocative images. Above all, Long allowed us to have fun during both the engagement shoot and during our wedding, making us laugh, letting us have our intimate moments while inconspicuously taking photos, and letting us be completely ourselves. We are absolutely in love with all of the photos, but beyond that, are so grateful to Long for being so professional, organized, easy-going, and making us feel so comfortable in front of the camera. He truly managed to capture our love story and has given us the best memento of wonderful memories through his images. I would highly recommend Long to anyone looking for a wedding photographer; not only will he prioritize getting to know you and your partner, but he'll make the entire process enjoyable and will give you the most unique and stunning photographs you could imagine. Thank you, Long, for your hard work and for making us look and feel so beautiful! -

We have no regrets about booking Long. He was recommended to us by our DJ and the two of them were the best vendors at our wedding. He was extremely thorough throughout the booking process and the week leading up to our wedding. He really made sure he understood our aesthetic and taste, and didn't pressure us to book him if our styles didn't align. Our Telugu Hindu ceremony ended up going off script and it got a little chaotic. However, Long managed to capture such lovely photos of us that masked the chaos. On the day of the wedding, after the ceremony he could sense we were a little shaken up, and he was so calming and took us aside for some photos and fresh air. It really helped cool our nerves down. He worked really well with our videographer as well. Since we live out of town, he was also happy to replace our engagement shoot with shooting at another one of our wedding events. He is a great guy and a great addition to your wedding day dream team. -

Best of the best.
Long has photographed us a few times. He brings an unmatchable level of passion, kindness, fun, intimacy, and professionalism to his work. He helps the uncomfortable ones find ease in front of the camera. Long prioritized our desires and helped us with unforeseen needs. -
