"Simply the best"
Not only are our wedding photos more amazing than we imagined, Chi-Chi herself was a dream to work with. She is warm and natural, which put us completely at ease, and she took such care to learn about us and how we wanted our (two-day) wedding to feel.
Chi-Chi’s lovely spirit and super-professional attention to detail shined in our photos. She captured literally every moment of both days with vivacity, beauty and true emotion. Going through our photos really feels like reliving the experience.

"Perfection"
Chi-Chi is incredible!! Her calm, focused presence and quiet confidence put everyone at ease. She's sharp and personable, with an exceptional attention to detail. We met once in advance of the wedding and immediately connected with her relaxed, reserved energy and were drawn to her focus on real people and real emotions over cookie-cutter wedding shots.
We were amazed by the extraordinary range of photographs we received from her--the candids are remarkable, and the posed shots have an effortless sense of style, thanks to Chi-Chi's thoughtful direction and impeccable eye. Choosing Chi-Chi as our photographer was the best decision we made!

"A dream come true"
I am FLOORED by Chi Chi's work! From video chats and to cafe interviews to get to know us as a couple, her responsiveness and guidance in preparation for the day, Chi Chi is that kind of photographer you only pray for. She was timely on our wedding day, prepared above and beyond, and her calm and amicable nature really helped keep the nerves down throughout our day. She also never stopped working - despite some chaos on our wedding day due to weather issues, she was focused throughout, almost unnoticeable, melting into our crowd of guests and capturing all of our best memories, and was also quick in turning around our digital album delivery!!!!!! If you were looking for a photographer for your next event, look nowhere else.

Chi - Chi
I’m a wedding journalist that draws inspiration from my fashion
background, love of the arts, and nature.
I moved to New York to study fashion design at Parsons, The New
School for Design. The city was filled with inspiration and I always had
a camera in hand to document everyday living. After working many
years as a fashion designer, the undeniable hopeful romantic in me fell
into wedding photography.
My process during every wedding is to capture heart and soul. I use a
photojournalistic style to capture delicate details, special moments,
and heartfelt emotion that highlight the unique mood of each wedding.
