Hello We are Ni and Xiao
Heartfelt. Artful. Joyfully You.
We’re a Northern Virginia based wedding photography duo capturing real, joyful, and heartfelt love stories across DC, Virginia, and Maryland.
We believe your photos should feel like you — natural, relaxed, and full of emotion. We’ll guide you, hype you up, fix that stray hair, and make sure you never feel awkward in front of the camera.
For us, photography isn’t just pretty pictures — it’s about connection. The laughter, the quiet in-between moments, and the memories that still feel alive 20 years from now.
Every story we capture is approached with warmth, heart, and artistry — so your photos feel timeless, genuine, and beautifully you.
We can’t wait to capture your story!
xoxo,
Ni & Xiao
Our Philosophy
We approach every story with care and intention. We love blending timeless storytelling with an editorial eye for light, detail, and emotion. From the quiet little moments to the big celebrations, we aim to capture the heart of your day exactly as it felt.
We come prepared — scouting locations, planning your timeline, and guiding you through every pose — all while paying attention to the small gestures, the laughter, and the subtle connections that make your day uniquely yours.
Our goal is simple: we want your photos to not just look beautiful, but feel like you.
What Matters to Us
Warmth & Connection: You’re never just a client — you’re part of a story we feel honored to tell.
Professionalism & Preparation: From our first meeting to your final gallery, we handle the details so you can fully enjoy your day.
Artistry & Emotion: We’re inspired by light, nature, and genuine human connection, creating photos that are timeless, artful, and full of life.
Generosity & Joy: We love going the extra mile — whether it’s in the photos, the experience, or the energy we bring to your day.
