    From the moment we first contacted Just a Present @FilmbyXiao, we were impressed by her warm, responsive, and easy communication style. Her work is truly exceptional - natural, beautiful, and elegant. On our wedding day, the photographer was a calming presence, capturing every small detail and genuine moment without ever interrupting the flow of our very personal and hands-on ceremony. We are thrilled with the stunning photos that perfectly preserve the memories of our special day.

    Xiao saved the day for us! Her photos were amazing! We took photos at the National Gallery of Art, which does not allow real flowers. Xiao was so prepared because she brought fake flowers and a veil for my wife. She gave us plenty of time to take photos inside and outside on a cold day, and they turned out amazing! My Mom (who is trained as a photographer) said these were the best photos we have taken together. Xiao speaks both Mandarin and English.

    We have been working Just a Present @FilmbyXiao since our engagement photo, and wedding day, and also recommended them to other friends - they were extremely responsive and communicated with us very quickly and clearly. Their professionalism and expertise were evident throughout the entire process. On our wedding day, they worked seamlessly behind the scenes to capture every special moment, allowing us to fully enjoy the day without having to worry about the photography. The final photos were absolutely stunning - they truly understood our vision and delivered high-quality work that exceeded our expectations. We could not be happier with the memories they helped create for us to cherish forever.
