A LITTLE ABOUT ME

My name is Jinqi, but I go by Jinki—a name that's a little easier to pronounce. I'm a wedding photographer based in Los Angeles, drawn to beautiful light, genuine connections, and the little moments that make every love story different.


Having photographed over 150 weddings, I've learned that some of the most meaningful moments are the ones you never plan for—a quiet glance before the ceremony, a parent's happy tears, or the laughter that happens when no one is thinking about the camera.


I love creating photographs that feel artistic and timeless, but I believe the best images are more than beautiful. They should feel like you.


On your wedding day, I'll offer direction when you need it and step back when the moment deserves to unfold naturally. My goal is to help you feel comfortable, be fully present, and enjoy the day while I take care of preserving the memories.


Because years from now, I want you to look at your photographs and remember not just how everything looked, but how it all felt.

MY PHILOSOPHY


BEAUTY IN THE MOMENT.

MEANING IN THE MEMORY.


I believe the most meaningful photographs do more than capture how a moment looked. They bring you back to how it felt.


I'm drawn to beautiful light, thoughtful composition, and the artistry of creating images that feel timeless. But beyond the beauty, what matters most to me is the emotion within each photograph—the laughter, the quiet glances, the tears, and the connections that make your story uniquely yours.


My hope is that years from now, when you look through your wedding photographs, you won't just remember what happened. You'll remember what it felt like to be there.

 

Artistry makes a photograph beautiful. Emotion makes it meaningful. Time makes it priceless.

LET'S CREATE SOMETHING MEANINGFUL.

 

YOUR STORY, BEAUTIFULLY REMEMBERED.

 

I'd love to hear your story and what you're dreaming of for your wedding day.
