Maui, Hawaii
We originally thought about visiting Hawaii over the holidays because flights were pretty reasonable. However, as soon as we looked for housing between Christmas and New Year’s we realized the only options left were $10,000/night. So we made alternate plans to visit West Texas instead. But as soon as we did, Alex’s friends Chris and…

Candace & Derek | Point Isabel Engagement Session
I had the best time frolicking around Point Isabel with Candace, Derek, and their dog Chester. We were a bit windswept, but the light was beautiful. See a few of my favorites below! Anna Wu is a wedding and portrait photographer based in San Francisco. She creates beautiful, soft, and timeless imagery while capturing the…

Presidio Venue Showcase
The Presidio is such a special area in San Francisco. It’s a national park spanning the northwestern corner of the city, and it comprises woods, beach, nature trails, and several gorgeous wedding venues. I was thrilled to be asked back to photograph their venue showcase for the third time this year. While I made my…

I read 56 books in 2019. Here are my favorites.
56 books is the most I’ve ever read in a year, almost double the 31 I read in 2018. My basic strategy was to convert some of the endless hours of scrolling through social media into time reading books instead. And as always, I check out all of these books as ebooks from the library–…

Sydney, Australia
After hours of delayed flights from Melbourne, we finally reached Sydney, Australia! This was the whole inspiration for the Australia trip: to visit Tiffany and Greg who had moved to Sydney half a year prior, and of course Howard, whose wedding was the reason I visited in 2016. Our friend Tim had also just moved…

We kick it off with our monthly Office of Accountability meeting, hosted in Meg’s wonderfully decorated apartment,…

Melbourne, Australia
Melbourne! I first visited Melbourne three years prior on our whirlwind tour through New Zealand and Australia. My time in Melbourne was brief but wonderful. This time, visiting Australia with Alex, we had different work schedules which meant that he arrived in Melbourne three days before me, we then took off for our road trip…

Great Ocean Road, Australia
My great Thanksgiving adventure this year was a jaunt around Australia. We started in Melbourne, and from there rented a car to take a road trip along the Great Ocean Road, Australia’s analog to our Pacific Coast Highway in California, although perhaps a more concentrated version with epic landscapes along this 150-mile stretch. Our overall…

Empowerment | Boudoir by Anna Wu Photography
This was such a beautiful and soul-affirming session. V had never considered doing a boudoir session, thinking she would never be interested in taking such revealing photos. But I am so happy that she saw a boudoir session on my website that changed her mind completely about what boudoir can be. Far from being scandalous,…
