Jason Siew Photography

  • Photographer
  • Editorial style
  • Starts at $1,800
  • Serves Smith River, CA

Hi! I’m Jason. I’m a Malaysian-born wedding and portrait photographer living on the California Redwood Coast, serving couples from San Francisco up to Portland. I’m drawn to honest moments and quiet connection. The kind of photos that feel like you, not like a photoshoot. My approach is laid back and guided. We’ll talk through what matters to you, I’ll help shape a plan & vision, and on the day I’ll give easy direction when needed while keeping things natural. You’ll end up with photos that feel filmic, timeless, and emotionally true.

With our wedding coming up, it wasn’t even a question to contact Jason to be our photographer! Working with him is magical— he has an eye for storytelling, and made us feel comfortable and set the tone for us to be able to tell that story with our photos! His photography is timeless, romantic, and whimsical— and that’s exactly what we asked for! Who knows what more Jason can achieve behind that lens!

I am a makeup artist who also offers hairstyling. I’ve been doing makeup for about 8 years and have worked weddings, events, and commercial. I love making people feel beautiful on their big day and enjoy helping make everything run smoothly. I’m very comfortable with different skin tones and types of hair. I can do many different styles of makeup from natural to full glam and airbrush. I’m always staying up to date on recent wedding trends and expanding my skills. I will work with a single bride or a large group!

I was so excited to have Karly as a part of my wedding day. She was open to my requests and delivered a makeup look that felt like me, "just elevated," which was EXACTLY what I asked for. She was punctual and made my bridesmaid comfortable and was a joy to have around. I would recommend her to any friends or acquaintances for their magical day.

We cannot recommend Ocean View Hot Tubs highly enough! Simy and Humble provided the most incredible experience for our wedding in Shelter Cove. We rented all of their stunning properties, including Mango Tango for our bridal suite and rehearsal dinner. Mango Tango was absolutely perfect: gorgeous, comfortable, and spacious enough to host a long dining table for 26 guests in the main room. The floor-to-ceiling windows and wrap-around deck overlooking Black Sands Beach created an unforgettable backdrop. It’s truly a one-of-a-kind property. Our wedding party stayed in the other Ocean View Hot Tubs homes, and everyone loved them. They offered the perfect combination of closeness and privacy, with each unit boasting its own hot tub and breathtaking views. The scenery was beyond beautiful. Our wedding ceremony was held on the lawn behind the Cliff House property, with the ocean as our backdrop. Even with a touch of fog, the location was magical and unique, it couldn’t have been more perfect. As amazing as the properties are, what really made this experience stand out was working with Simy and Humble. They are the kindest, most helpful, and responsive people we encountered during our wedding planning. They went above and beyond to make sure everything was seamless, and we’d genuinely love to stay in touch with them! If you’re looking for an unforgettable venue and exceptional service, Ocean View Hot Tubs is the best choice. Our wedding was everything we dreamed of, thanks to this incredible location and team. Thank you Simy and Humble for making it so special!

One of the most memorable moments was when my 2-year-old, the flower girl, didn't want to walk down the aisle without me. Datso got down on her level, gently spoke to her, and helped get her comfortable - she ended up walking beautifully, even veering off to pick some flowers with the maid of honor, resulting in some of our favorite photos! Datso listened to my scatter-brained ideas and brought them to life beautifully (the pictures speak for themselves). I am forever grateful for her expertise and help. Thank you Datso!

We used Eivan's for both engagement photos and our wedding and couldn't be happier. They are wonderful about asking for your input and making sure you are truly happy with what you are getting. The photographers and videographers are the perfect mixture of professional and casual/friendly so that you are comfortable. We loved Rachael H for engagement photos, and Heather G (photo) and Dmytro L (video) for our wedding. They also actually care about you and the event itself, starting with asking you about your story. We got both a photographer, videographer, and engagement photos for a great bundle price, which was so helpful. Customer service is also fantastic about answering questions thoroughly and quickly. After booking and after the events, they send you information about what to expect, etc. I did quite a but of research into photography companies, and I would highly highly recommend Eivan's!

Awarded Best of Zola
The Uncommon Weddings was one of the very first vendors we hired to join on our vendor team for our September 2023 wedding and it turned out to be one of the best decisions we made! Cesar was our lead videographer the day of our wedding and he was INCREDIBLE! The communication from our very first consultation with Sway 11 months out from our Wedding Day, during the months leading up to our special day, from both videographers on our Wedding Day and even after our wedding was over, was UNMATCHED. We couldn't have hired a more kind, responsive, communicative, encouraging & supportive team. We genuinely felt like their top priority the entire time and it made working with them so comfortable and stress-free. I cannot stress this enough, if you're unsure whether or not you should 1.) Hire a videographer - don't think twice, DO IT and 2.) Hire The Uncommon Weddings Team - Again, don't think twice, DO IT. My husband and I specifically allocated a decent chunk of our wedding budget to Photogrpahy & Videography in order to get the best of the best. We knew exactly what we wanted/ had envisioned and when we say Sway & his team delivered, we're not exaggerating. They captured our love so perfectly & beautifully that they made it seem effortless, despite the incredible amount of work we know they put forth to make our dreams come true. We'll forever cherish this footage that we have to look back on for the rest of our lives.

In 2013, 8-year wedding veteran Amy McCord Jones realizes she wouldn't be able to afford to hire her own floral services if she was a bride. Then, Amy discovers that there is basically zero help available for DIY brides. No flower recipes. No instructions. No access to florist-grade blooms. Rude. So she launches Flower Moxie! Flower Moxie remains a humble, tucked-away small business out of Oklahoma City. We don’t zoom around on scooters in some fancy high-rise. We stock an average kitchen with canned wine and Aldi chips and listen to true crime podcasts while photographing curvy ranunculus. Join us. There’s cake, hugs, and acceptance here.

Awarded Best of Zola
This was by far one of the best decisions and money savers I could’ve done for myself. The flowers were top quality, beautiful, and we had a blast putting them together with our family. Flower Mocie is simple and they have videos that will help you prepare in advance for your vision and piecing your bouquets together. I was quoted 5000 for florals by other vendors, but with flower moxie and a little creativity, we only spent 500 to cover 12 bouquets and 16 boutonnières. HIGGLY RECOMMEND

The quality of their work is truly unique and you can tell they are so passionate about what they do. We were able to take advantage of a special deal on the flowers I wanted, and they even upgraded some of the pieces for free! Compared to other faux floral companies in the area, we were able to get much more for our money. I'm so glad I took the time for the 15 minute consultation with Brittany - it was so helpful to see the items at scale and she customized our order perfectly.

I’ve been playing weddings for over twelve years and I love my work! My services cover any or all aspects of wedding & receptions. I have found my life’s artistic calling in becoming flexible to every type of music my clients could desire. I learn to enjoy whatever my clients love and this resonance makes my job sustainable and ever-enjoyable. But, I do tend to request the ability to make choices for the dance-floor that rely on my years of dance-enhancing experience. I meet with my clients to determine what music they would love to hear and what music they do NOT want to hear.

Brandon and his team did a fantastic job! Despite the cold weather, my wife and I and our friends and family had an awesome time. We enjoyed the sound from our wireless mics, the pacing of the dinner music, the props and funny pics from the photo booth, and the energy on the dance floor. We almost didn’t get the Photo Booth, but we added it in last minute and we're glad we did. Highly recommend Brandon and his team. Great vibes all around.

Louis Pettinelli Entertainment was a true pro from start to finish. Their communication was excellent, and they were a pleasure to work with in the lead up to our wedding. On the big day, their talents shone through as they played our exact music playlist and did a fantastic job as the emcees, keeping the energy high and our guests entertained. They came dressed impeccably and had the perfect balance of fun and professionalism. We couldn't have asked for a better wedding band and DJ - they truly helped make our special day unforgettable.
