Berkeley Brazilian Room Wedding Caili Chung Photography

These two…! Wait actually, let me start over. EVERYONE PRESENT AT THIS WEDDING! I fell in love with Tim and Isabel and all the friends and family that came to celebrate their special day. Watching all the close friends interact– laugh, tease, grab and pull each other to the dance floor– was a clear reminder […]

Tim & Isabel Spring Wedding at Berkeley Brazilian Room

Park Wedding Bay Area California Caili Chung

I counted down the minutes until I could open my computer and look through these images. I did so at the soonest opportunity and what I saw did not disappoint. I was filled with so many emotions– laughter, awe, and everything in between– going through their pictures. I don’t think that anyone who sees how […]

Ingrid and Josue’s Navy Blue Wedding

Ingrid and Josue are the champions of making anything a good time. We started out at the Martinez Marina, but soon afterward dark, grey cloud started rolling in, and we ran for cover. We decided to go on a short drive into the city for more building cover. The sky was still grey, but Ingrid […]

Ingrid & Josue’s Rainy Engagement Photos in Downtown Martinez

So I’m in love with their love and if you got to spend time with them, you would be too. Tiffany and Logan lived in the same dorm floor in college. They met when Logan tripped and fell outside Tiffany’s open door which made her laugh. After that stellar first impression, they made their own […]

Tiffany & Logan’s Downtown Salt Lake City Engagement Session

Jon proposed at Disneyland which is pretty much straight out of one of my diaries from middle school and don’t let the fact that that is a twelve-year-old Caili fantasy deceive you because that is the best thing of all time. Hence the Micky and Minnie Mouse ears with the date of their proposal <3 […]

Jon & Stephanie’s Engagement Photos at Joaquin Miller Park, Oakland

This beautiful girl recently got back from spending a month in New York City, London, Paris, Venice and Milan modeling. This stud is a football player for BYU. So obviously they’re a total power couple and pretty tall lol. If there was a picture of the three of us together, I would look incredibly little […]

Kira & Moroni’s Spring Engagement Session at the Utah State Capitol

Audrey is a total sweetheart. And she’s such a class act. I mean she plays the flute. Does that not just make you seem like you have your life together? It’s been so long since I’ve shot seniors. I hadn’t realized until now that while I’ve been working to get better at serving wedding couples, […]

Audrey’s Spring Senior Session at the Utah Capitol & Memory Grove

Dancers are meant to be photographed. When I first started playing around with a camera, I asked one of my friends who did ballet to model for me. A year later, I wanted to do another dance photoshoot because 1. photographing dancers is a lot of fun and 2. It’d be cool to compare images […]

Rowland Hall High School Dancers at the Utah State Capitol & Downtown Salt Lake City

These two are the actual definition of couple goals. “Okay, Caili,” you say, “That kinda goes without saying. Just look at them!” But that doesn’t even begin to cover it. First of all, this photoshoot was a present to Kirstin from William for Valentine’s Day. Major brownie points to William right there! Next, we shot […]

William & Kirstin’s Engagement at Mission Dolores Park, San Francisco

Gear does not make a fantastic image, the photographer does. But it doesn’t hurt. The barrier to entry for photography is low. I feel like everyone can obtain a DSLR these days, and that’s great! Photography is a lot of fun and I’m glad people have the opportunity to enjoy it. This is a list […]
