Tony Yang Photography

Creative. Professional. Personal. Intimate. Just Perfect.
Tony is hands down amazing at his craft. The way he captures moments and tells his own story about your day is so incredibly creative and touching that every time I look through my photos, I can feel myself going through my wedding day all over again. From huge shots of groups to small tiny details, he captures it all. Im really particular about photographs… I judge on their work. I hate posted, over photoshopped, theatrical photographs. Im all about the candid natural moments and capturing just that wow moment perfectly… its not an easy thing to do… especially with a wedding of almost 300 guests but somehow, Tony still got everywhere and into everything! (Maybe its his really long legs haha!)
His arrival is very timely and hes good at keeping to the schedule needed. He’s had years of experience so its good to take cues and directions from him. He stayed the whole night and didnt leave until the guests started to head out.
Im so pleased with his work. We used him for both our engagement shoot and our wedding banquet and I couldnt be more pleased. I literally just spent a small fortune on picture frames and photo prints because I cant wait to share them with our friends and family.
Things to know:
Tony is a story teller. Not a point and shoot «photo list» kind of photographer. When you think about your day and how you want it captured, make sure his photos is the style you want. Then, let him do his thing! Let him know if there are particular shots you want… but let him do his job. He’s good at it :)

I discovered Tony through my cousin who hired him as both an engagement and wedding photographer. Out of all the vendors I used for my wedding, he is definitely on the top of the list to recommend to others. As photography hobbyists, my husband and I were very picky about our photographers. Tony fit the bill with his style of photography, ease & price. He shoots with a journalistic eye and not intrusive at all. He is like a flower on a wall but in a good way. He directs you if needed, but otherwise captures the day as it flows, which is exactly what we wanted. I’ve seen other photographers bark orders at the bride and groom getting them into position but Tony guides and lets the natural movements of love and joy happen between the bride and groom, family and friends. Aside from getting great photos of us, he also got great photos of family and friends. Everyone raved about the photo because of the emotion he captured. I would highly recommend him to anyone. Check out his website. You’ll totally know what I’m saying when he captures the mood and day as it goes. He lets the natural emotions of the day shine.

Tony is an exceptional photographer and has an eye for creative detail. He is very easy to work with and his subtle nuisances of giving directions help create a very beautiful picture in the end. I would highly recommend him to friends and family.

Tony is one of the best photographers I have had the fortune to know. His portfolio alone speaks for itself, but getting to see him in action for my wedding made me realize why he is the best of the best. I would have rescheduled my entire wedding just to have him photograph my wedding.
He practically disappears during your wedding, allowing people to move naturally and thereby allowing him to capture the most precious, candid moments without you even knowing that he is there. He not only takes beautiful photos, but he edits them to perfection and creates a beautiful set of prints for you to have.
He captured our wedding wonderfully, and I am so grateful. I would recommend him to anyone and everyone.

Tony has talent, but NOT as a wedding photographer. In all fairness, he does say he is not a traditional photographer, which I didn’t want anyway. I love photojournalism. But even taking this into consideration, we were very disappointed. 1. The pictures taken outside were beautiful. You will find that most of the wedding pictures that he puts on his site are outdoor shots — not a coincidence. The pictures taken with little natural light were awful. He does not demonstrate knowledge about how to manipulate light indoors. Even the outdoor shots taken at dusk were not good quality. Because my reception was indoors, with lots of dark wood, the majority of the shots were not good. 2. Even photojournalists appreciate a subject in their pictures. There should be an artistic element even to candid shots. The pictures I got were certainly candid, but seemed to be shots anyone could have taken — nothing artistic about them. 3. I know it’s all about the bride and groom, but the only pics we got were of us! There were little to no pics of our friends and family (even after I expressed how important they all were to me). Out of the near 800 photos, my husband’s siblings were in a total of 4 of them. My friends were nowhere to be found. I am not a traditional bride and chose not to have a bridal party. I didn’t realize this would mean no one else would be in them. If you do go with him, be sure to give him explicit instructions about who you want him to shoot. 4. When we wanted to enlarge the pics, we found difficultly getting them to fit nicely as 8×10s. Even the photos that were my favorites we could not use in large frames without cutting off important pieces of them. I have no large photo on my wall of us on our big day. I would never give a bad review unless I felt it was necessary. Truly, I feel bad writing this, but it’s just not a good idea to choose him. You cannot afford to be disappointed with this — it’s truly heartbreaking not to have these memories saved.

One of the most talented photographers I have ever seen.

Tony is the best! He is hands down one of my favorite photographers. He’s especially known for all of his sexy boudoir pictures and gorgeous wedding photography.
I’ve had the pleasure of working with him as an assistant on a few shoots. I highly recommend hiring him for special occasion (engagement/​wedding) photoshoots!
He truly is an inspiration when it comes to photography. He has an amazing talent — subscribe to his blog… watch out for his work… and enjoy!
(I’m not just saying all this because he’s my friend either!)
