Having my clients fall in love with their images never gets old. I am forever grateful to those who have chosen to work with me, referred me to others, and supported my growing business.
If you choose Rosalie as your wedding photographer, you are in great hands! Our wedding was a long day with a lot of moving parts and three separate locations, yet somehow she was able to capture it all!
What stands out to me about Rosalie's photography is her artistry. As I was looking through our wedding party photos I thought to myself, "Wow, this looks like something from a fancy bridal magazine!" I am amazed that she was able to find such a gorgeous location so close to our venue. In what the average person might deem a random street corner in Palo Alto, Rosalie managed to see an editorial-caliber backdrop! Her creativity and vision make her work one of a kind.
We are so pleased with our wedding photos. The highest compliment I can give is that, in looking through our photos, we really do feel like we are re-living our special day all over again.

Little did we know when we hired Rosalie to be the photographer for our very small wedding ceremony, that we were getting so much more than a photographer. We met her for the first time as we arrived a little late and were rushing to get going. Rosalie brought a sense of calmness, comfort and bright positivity amidst the chaos. She offered to help with anything we needed as we were getting ready to head to the ceremony spot.
When I say Rosalie went above and beyond, I mean she arrived at the venue early and scoped out optimal photo spots...but on top of that, she acted as a coordinator of sorts, a dress holder, a cake stylist (placing flowers around our cake), a dog wrangler, and the biggest cheerleader.
She is an incredible photographer with such a good eye. She directed all the locations, poses, and family groupings, to capture one of the most cherished moments of our lives. I love sharing the photos she took with family and friends and look forward to sharing them with our children and grandchildren in the future. We plan to hire Rosalie to help us capture all of our big life milestones. Thank you, Rosalie!
The best behind the lens. Period.
Rosalie has been capturing the milestones most dear to family for the last 6+ years, and because of this I have the most precious keepsakes that I will forever cherish. She has shot multiple maternity sessions, 1st birthdays, and our annual holiday family shoots to name a few, and each time I am blown away with the images that come out of these sessions with our wild kiddos. She is an expert at her craft, and she makes everyone on the other side of the lens feel at ease while she works her magic. Her work ethic is second to none, and from start to finish she goes above and beyond for her clients who she treats like family.

Rosalie has been our go-to photographer for the last 4 years. She’s captured when our family grew from 3 to 4, both our girls’ first birthday parties, and family photos for Christmas including an extended family photo shoot. She ensures a variety of moments are documented. We have pictures of family, guests, decor, our girls and many candid moments of joy from their birthday parties. We could say the same for all the other times she has photographed our family. We were particularly thrilled with our extended family photos. She managed to capture so many wonderful photos in a brief period of time while managing a group of 10. She is down to earth, approachable, great at working with people of all ages, and gets even the shyest kid to crack a smile.

Rosalie is an amazing, genuine, kind, uplifting human who also happens to take stellar photographs. I have recommended her to many friends for their Christmas card photos, engagement photos, and expecting parents photos. I used her personally to take photos for my budding private practice as a Holistic Nutritionist and Ayurvedic Health Counselor with plans to use them on my website, social media, and for promotional material. She's quick-thinking but doesn't make you feel rushed, she's uplifting without it feeling fake, and effortlessly creative. She has a very stylistic eye, and really knows how to set up a shot to be aesthetically pleasing. At my photoshoot: I brought some change of clothes and had some ideas for what I wanted, but she also offered suggestions for placement and position as well as colors to wear to enhance the vibe of a shot. And don't worry if you feel like you're awkward in front of the camera, like you don't know how to smile or what to do with your hands because she's great with direction and can easily make you smile and feel at ease. Not only is she great with people, but she also does amazing product photography so if you need shots of products you've been creating she can capture your essence without your face in the shot. She's also quite quick and efficient with photo editing so you won't be waiting long for your highly anticipated pictures—like barely 2 days (but don't hold her that because the more people who discover her and book her, the busier she will be!). Don't wait, if you need pictures for something get in touch with her as soon as you can, especially if it's high season for a specific thing (like Christmas family photos or graduation shots). There's a reason why she fills up fast. Thank you so much for being you and sharing your gift as an amazing photographer Rosalie!

Rosalie has been one of our family's favorite photographers for years but the icing on the cake was our last photo shoot with her. We had just had our last baby, during a pandemic, and she was not only willing to take our photos (outside of course) but came to our house, came prepared with various forms of PPE, kept her distance while making the photos look close up, and the photos were absolutely stunning (per usual). Rosalie is warm, professional, creative, and incredibly talented. She captures the most authentic moments and has always been so patient with us and our kids in times of attempting a more posed position. I highly recommend Rosalie Yu Photography.

There are no words to describe Rosalie’s amazing work in her craft. Her beautiful captures evoke conversation and stories—she makes photoshoots fun, easy going, and inviting for those who are camera shy and she can create and envision thematic shots with her clients. Our ongoing work with Rosalie has been smooth and effortless, and we love the blossoming friendship that we’ve created together in this partnership with her photography work.
