Cherry Blossom Engagement
She was an incredible photographer for our engagement in DC during the cherry blossoms. I booked her remotely and she was even nice enough to find the perfect spot to propose before we arrived; it was a beautiful tree and there was nobody around just like I asked her. The pictures were absolutely amazing too as she toured us around the Basin after the proposal.
Amazing aesthetics!!
We hired Xiao Xiao for our city hall ceremony and the party afterwards and she captured every moment that we want to remember!! We didn’t dress up in any wedding dress/suits but it doesn’t matter cause Xiao Xiao had amazing aesthetics and we absolutely loved the photos she took.
Artistic Photography
Xiao has an incredible artistic instinct, capturing the beauty in everyday moments and turning them into stunning photos. What stands out to me is how she explains her creative ideas in such an easy-to-understand way, making you feel comfortable and relaxed during the session. She helps you feel confident and be yourself, which really shows in the photos. It's clear that photography is her passion—not only does she take amazing pictures, but she also creates a fun and positive atmosphere that makes the whole experience even more enjoyable. I feel lucky to have had her capture some of the most important moments in my life.
Professional and Dedicated Wedding Photographer
Xiao was the photographer for our wedding ceremony, held in a beautiful natural setting by a lake in a regional park in Maryland. Her professionalism and dedication truly shone throughout the entire event. During the ceremony, she captured all the key moments with an incredible eye for detail, ensuring we have stunning memories to cherish. After the vows and ring exchange, Xiao patiently photographed us with our friends and family, taking her time to ensure everyone looked their best. She even went the extra mile, offering creative suggestions for poses and making us feel comfortable in front of the camera. Right after, she did a solo session with my wife, producing some truly breathtaking photos. What impressed me the most was Xiao’s commitment and quick turnaround. That same evening, she began editing and sent us a preview batch of photos, which allowed us to immediately share them with loved ones. Over the following days, she continued to work on the photos, sending us additional beautiful images in batches. We couldn’t be happier with the quality of her work, and we are so grateful for her thoughtful and professional approach. We highly recommend her, and we wish her and her photography business continued success!
