Come as you are.
Stay close to the people you love.

Let the moment unfold naturally. I’m here to capture the quiet, honest moments and keep them just as they felt.

Hi, I’m May, a Korean photographer based in the San Francisco Bay Area. I specialize in wedding photography, couple and engagement sessions, and family portraits throughout San Francisco, San Jose, and the Bay Area. My approach is calm, natural, and gently guided. I help clients feel comfortable in front of the camera while documenting genuine expressions and meaningful interactions.

안녕하세요, 포토그래퍼 봄엔입니다. 촬영하는 날만큼은 사진을 잘 찍어야 한다는 부담을 잠시 내려놓으셔도 괜찮아요. 사랑하는 사람을 바라보고, 함께 웃고, 그날의 시간을 편안하게 즐겨주세요. 필요한 순간에는 자연스럽게 방향을 안내하고, 여성 작가의 섬세한 시선으로 미처 의식하지 못했던 표정과 작은 손짓까지 정성스럽게 담겠습니다. 빠르게 지나가는 유행보다 시간이 흐른 뒤에도 편안한 마음으로 다시 볼 수 있는 사진을 좋아합니다. 과하게 꾸며진 색보다는 사람과 풍경이 가진 본래의 색을 살려, 그날의 모습이 가장 두분답게 남기를 바랍니다.
