ABOUT US
We are a group of friends who grew up together, united by our shared love for creating impactful images. Our passion for visual storytelling led us to establish The Vessel Photos. On the photography side, James describes his style as 'cinematic & colorful.' With a background in landscape photography and live cinema, he’s drawn to movie-like framing and vibrant imagery that evoke emotion and atmosphere.
James Liu
Lead Photographer
I started my landscape photography journey at 18 with a Canon T5, and from the very beginning, I’ve aimed to create the most creative and cinematic images possible. Today, I serve as the National Account Manager for Cinematic Live Production at Canon USA. My role keeps me on the road over 20 days a month, but no matter where I am, I always make time to capture beautiful images.

Joshua Huang
Lead Videographer
I began shooting wedding videos in 2023, and I absolutely love being able to capture my clients' happiest moments in the most authentic way possible. While I work as an engineer by day, my true passion lies in creating films that allow my clients to relive their most cherished memories for years to come.
