Palace of Fine Arts Engagement Caili Chung Photography

Alex and Ashley cosplay and run a popular fan page for their cats. It was a gorgeous day for Engagement Photos but when we arrived at the Palace of Fine Arts, the main section was blocked off for a performance. I don’t know what the performance was for, but luckily you can’t tell that there […]

“Words cannot express how important photography was to us and Caili was amazing! She did our engagement and wedding day photos and everything turned out fantastic.

San Francisco Rainy Engagement Session

“Caili is the sweetest girl ever (and a great photographer to boot!). Caili made shooting in the rain fun (and was very creative with her set up haha).

Sutro Baths San Francisco Engagement

“Michael and I could not be more impressed with our photographer. Caili was a quick turnaround, very professional and a delight to work with.

Berkeley Wedding Photographer Caili Chung

I truly love Denae. I photographed her wedding in October (click HERE to relive that magic) and the whole time she’s been so genuine and sweet and funny.

“Caili is both a wonderful person and an outstanding photographer! She made the entire shoot so much fun and comfortable by constantly guiding us on what to do.

Ways to Honor a Deceased Loved One on Your Wedding Day

La Hacienda Moraga Wedding Caili Chung Photography

Sometimes I feel like wedding blogs/magazines focus completely on having a “pretty” wedding, but they overlook having a “fun” wedding. I think that an ideal wedding is both 🙂 Anyone present at your wedding should care about you and be happy to see you happy. But they’re going even happier if you don’t throw a […]
