Justin Hunt is a Bay Area-based fine art wedding photographer and United States Marine Corps veteran. His work captures raw emotion, soulful connection, and the quiet poetry of human experience. With a BFA in Photography and a background rooted in storytelling, Justin’s imagery reflects a deep sensitivity to vulnerability, movement, and light. His creative lens is shaped by his lived experience as a veteran, father, and emotional alchemist—bringing empathy and presence into every frame.

When he’s not documenting love stories, Justin is spending time with his son, working out, meditating, and staying grounded through practices that support both his artistic flow and personal growth.

Yunan Ma is a Redwood City based textile artist. She was born and raised in China where she studied fine arts, and came to the U.S. at the age of 17. Her work uses sustainable ingredients from land animals which are translated into vibrant representations of sea creatures, plant life, emotional states, geographical events, and galaxies. She believes art is more than beautiful texture and exquisite craftsmanship—every piece depicts a storytelling experience by interpreting energy and emotion in a cheerful way. A complex universe can be discovered inside Yunan’s fiber creatures—big or small, quiet or loud. 

Yunan has a BFA in Fashion Marketing and Management from Savannah College of Art and Design, and an MFA in Knitwear Design from Academy of Art University. She was mentored by the famous knitwear designer Midori Sergent, and was the only knitwear designer to attend the NYFW graduation runway.
