BYC Photography - Southern California Modern Wedding Photographer

Every couple has a story worth feeling, not just seeing.

Your wedding day will go by faster than you expect. My job is to make sure nothing important disappears with it. I pay attention to the quiet moments between the big ones. The glance across the room. The laugh that catches you off guard. The details that are so uniquely you that nobody else would think to notice. Those are the photos you will still be reaching for twenty years from now.

The B.Y.C. Story

I’m Benny Chiu, the ‘B’ and ‘C’ in BYC Photography. The ‘Y’ stands for Yvonne, the woman I married, the love of my life, and the mother of our two incredible sons. I chose the name BYC to reflect the foundation of my journey. I’m a full-time, international award-winning wedding photographer because of Yvonne’s unwavering support. Though she’s not behind the camera, she’s always been beside me. It’s only right that even in my business, she continues to be my anchor.

“The one thing (and most important thing) that sets him apart from other photographers I’ve researched is his love for what he does. Once you work with him, it’s truly evident that he cares for his clients and is dedicated to giving them an enjoyable and unique experience tailored to each couple. His response time to e-mails or messages is incredible and he goes the extra mile to make sure that his clients are happy, stress-free and having fun!” ~Kayla + Abraham
