Jiawen Li is a editorial & documentary wedding photographer based in san francisco bay area, serving clients worldwide.
Obsessed with the people, their stories & emotions in between
I am drawn to the sincere and in-between moments - the way you reach for each other, the way a space holds your presence, quiet or chaotic, the way a day unfolds without needing to be directed.
Secretly and genuinely, I hope these frames can one day not only bless you, but also your grandchildren, who will be inspired by the love filled on your beautiful day.

WHEN I Photograph,
I believe my skillsets come second, and my devotion to connect with people always goes first. I enjoy the whole process of getting to know you & your stories, as I always look for the next moment to document your love and joy on your special day.
 
 
“"We asked for timeless in the moment photos that bring you back to the moment it was taken. Jiawen delivered ten-fold! We and many others fell in love with our photos and constantly look back on them. We had the best time working with her as well, she took the time to walk through details and learn about our preferences. She encouraged us to share inspo photos of the shots we would like.
Working with her was a dream and would do it over 100 times if we could! A photographer is one of the most crucial vendors of an event, especially a wedding. Jiawen brings so much care and thoughtfulness with her and is emulated in her quality of work. We hope that many others book with her to experience her warmth and creativity!!".”
