I’m thrilled to share the second in my series of Portrait Parties. The idea is very simple: I gather a small group of people, we throw ourselves a little party, and I take portraits of everyone. Each participant contributes to the party too, and we all get to connect with each other without the pressures of…
Heirloom wedding albums are the perfect way to commemorate your wedding story for generations to come. I love when couples opt to create a whole suite of albums to share with parents and loved ones as well. For Ashley and Chad, we created one medium (10″) album; one small (8″) album; and two mini (6″) albums. The…
Here’s a glimpse at another beautiful wedding album! Stephanie and Ian were wed at the Berkeley City Club and had beautiful art deco details in their decor that went perfectly with this Tiffany blue album cover. I always love a clean, timeless layout. No overlays or crazy borders; just beautiful images on a white background….
I am thrilled to share Katherine and Josh’s beautiful wedding albums today. They opted for a turquoise mist silk cover, which coordinated perfectly with their wedding colors. We created one 10-inch album for Katherine and Josh and two 6-inch albums for their parents. I love the mini albums, because despite their name, they are still…
I’m so excited to share my latest personal project: the Portrait Party. The idea is very simple: I gather a small group of people, we throw ourselves a little party, and I take portraits of everyone. I come across so many people who say they could really use an updated headshot, but instead of just having a huge…

This cozy little cafe is one of my new favorite tea spots in the Bay Area. Located on San Pablo Ave. in Berkeley, Far Leaves Tea serves traditional Asian teas in a quiet setting. It can be a little confusing to enter the space at first; they seem to have quite a loyal following of…
Wedding albums are such a beautiful way to present a wedding story. I absolutely love creating them my clients. Here is Jen and Mike’s album from their San Francisco wedding a couple years ago. I’m a bit late in getting around to sharing it, but thankfully these books are timeless! Anna Wu is a wedding photographer based…
I’m thrilled to introduce Aisle Society, a brand new website that was created by over thirty wedding bloggers. It serves as an interactive hub for wedding inspiration. Hop on over to see the new platform, and glimpse a few images from the Aisle Society launch party in San Francisco a couple months ago! Anna Wu is…
Let’s take a little peek into Teance, a store in Berkeley’s West 4th shopping district. The store sells a variety of single-origin teas sourced from Asia. In the center is a round table where you can order full tea tastings, and in the back is a small cafe area with seating upstairs. We sampled a green…
This year for my birthday, I opted for an interactive gathering: a pottery class! We gathered at Play with Clay in El Cerrito and dug in, pottery wheels and all. It was so much fun, I’m already plotting my next return to the wheel. I went with full traditional paper invites and everything, designed by…
I absolutely love seeing all the beautiful creations from my friend Brianne over at Brown Fox Calligraphy. We met up at my studio one day so I could help her photograph some of her favorite wedding suites and miscellaneous pieces from 2015. They’re all so pretty, it’s impossible to pick favorites, though this first one with its…
