“Our photographer was one of the most important vendor decisions for us, and from the moment we met Zha Zha, we knew we were in the best hands!!
We’re based in the Bay Area and were planning a destination wedding in Hawaii, and one thing that immediately stood out was how thoughtful and flexible she was throughout the process. She generously offered to include coverage of our SF City Hall civil ceremony in lieu of a traditional engagement shoot as part of our package, which ended up being so special with photos we will cherish forever.
From the very beginning, she was incredibly easy to communicate with: responsive, organized, thoughtful, and calm in a way that immediately put us at ease. Honestly, meeting her in person made so many of my wedding nerves melt away. She has such a grounded, professional demeanor while still feeling warm and personable, which made us feel comfortable instantly.
On the wedding day itself, she was AMAZING. She has such an incredible eye for light, color, composition, and candid moments — the kind of photographer who captures how a moment *felt*, not just how it looked. One of our biggest priorities was making sure our wedding didn’t feel like one long photoshoot (especially for my husband), and she absolutely nailed that balance. She guided us through portraits quickly and seamlessly, kept us on schedule all day, and somehow managed to keep me calm anytime she could tell I was starting to feel overwhelmed.
She was also incredible at coordinating family photos and directing large groups efficiently — and as a huge bonus, she spoke Chinese with my extended family to help get everyone organized and comfortable, which meant so much to us.
And we have to give a shoutout to her husband, Winson, who was also the BEST vibes all weekend long. Seeing the two of them together at our wedding honestly felt like the best omen for a happy, successful marriage to come — they brought such warmth, joy, and positive energy to the entire experience.
By the end of the wedding day, I realized I had probably spent more time with Zha Zha than almost anyone other than my husband — and I genuinely cannot imagine our day without her. We are so grateful for her talent, calming presence, care, and energy throughout the entire process. Could not recommend her more.”
