EDITORIAL & FINE ART PHOTOGRAPHY
Capturing light, feelings & moments in a cinematic way.
Your wedding day is more than just an event—it’s a story made up of real emotions, fleeting moments, and deep connection. Through a documentary approach, your love, laughter, and tears are captured just as they unfold—authentic, unscripted, and beautifully true to you. With intentional use of light and composition, your photos will feel both cinematic and editorial—timeless images that let you relive the feeling of your day, over and over again.
FAQ
What’s your photography style, and how will it feel on our wedding day?
Your wedding will be captured in a documentary style—candid, heartfelt, and true to your story. I focus on real moments, raw emotions, and honest connection. I’ll gently guide you when needed (like during portraits), but the rest of the time, you’ll barely notice the camera—just be yourselves and enjoy the day.
How many photos will we receive, and when will we get them?
You’ll receive at least 60+ professionally edited, high-resolution photos per hour of coverage, delivered in an online gallery you can easily download and share with loved ones. Turnaround time is typically 4–6 weeks, with sneak peeks sent within a few days after your wedding.
Do you travel for weddings?
Yes! I'm based in the Bay Area and happy to travel within California and beyond. Travel fees may apply for weddings outside the immediate area—just let me know your location and I’ll include all the details in your custom quote.
Can we meet or talk before booking?
Absolutely. I’d love to chat with you to hear about your wedding plans, what matters most to you, and how I can best capture your day. We can schedule a quick call or Zoom meeting—this helps ensure we’re a good fit and that you feel fully comfortable and confident moving forward.
Do you offer engagement sessions or custom packages?
Yes, engagement sessions are available and highly recommended—they're a great way to get comfortable in front of the camera before your big day. I also offer custom wedding packages to suit different timelines and coverage needs. Just reach out through the contact form and I’ll help you create the perfect fit.

"Couldn't have asked for a better experience! Duan really has an incredible eye for detail. She captured not just the big moments but also the small intimate ones, the quiet moments we didn’t realize were happening. We’re not used to being in front of camera, but she made us feel so comfortable and at ease! Throughout the entire process, it’s really a true pleasure to work with her! Every shot tells a story, and the way they edited the photos was just perfect-natural, and elegant. If you’re looking for a photographer, I highly recommend her!"

"Duan made our City Hall wedding feel effortlessly special. It was a simple ceremony, but she captured every meaningful glance and detail with such care. Our portrait session around San Francisco City Hall felt relaxed and fun—and the photos turned out absolutely stunning. Elegant, timeless, and so genuinely us."
