    Just a Present @FilmbyXiao was the perfect choice for our wedding photography. From the first time we spoke, Xiao was proactive, friendly, and eager to understand our vision for the day. Her communication style put us at ease and made the planning process seamless. On the wedding day, Xiao's attention to detail and personalized approach were evident in the stunning, romantic photos she captured. She has an incredible eye for all the small, lovely moments that made our special day so unique and meaningful. Xiao's sensitive sense of beauty and romance shone through in her work, allowing us to relive the magic of our wedding over and over again. We couldn't be happier with the personalized service and exceptional value Xiao provided - she was truly the perfect choice to document our love story.

    She was an incredible photographer for our engagement in DC during the cherry blossoms. I booked her remotely and she was even nice enough to find the perfect spot to propose before we arrived; it was a beautiful tree and there was nobody around just like I asked her. The pictures were absolutely amazing too as she toured us around the Basin after the proposal.

  • Amazing aesthetics!!

    We hired Xiao Xiao for our city hall ceremony and the party afterwards and she captured every moment that we want to remember!! We didn’t dress up in any wedding dress/suits but it doesn’t matter cause Xiao Xiao had amazing aesthetics and we absolutely loved the photos she took.

    •Nan L.•Oct 1, 2024

    Xiao has an incredible artistic instinct, capturing the beauty in everyday moments and turning them into stunning photos. What stands out to me is how she explains her creative ideas in such an easy-to-understand way, making you feel comfortable and relaxed during the session. She helps you feel confident and be yourself, which really shows in the photos. It's clear that photography is her passion—not only does she take amazing pictures, but she also creates a fun and positive atmosphere that makes the whole experience even more enjoyable. I feel lucky to have had her capture some of the most important moments in my life.
