Asha Tea House in Berkeley has long been one of my favorite tea spots, so I was excited to see that they opened a new location in San Francisco a few months ago. My friend Saira and I hopped over for a tea date one afternoon. Most orders at Asha are just handed over…
The story of Ami and Arjun’s wedding is beautifully retold in their heirloom wedding album. All the colors and details of the day are perfectly balanced with the moments and the people who were there to celebrate. See the gorgeous book below! Anna Wu is a wedding photographer based in the San Francisco Bay Area….
With Victoria’s love for all things Tiffany’s, I’m not at all surprised that she and Vaughn went for this gorgeous Tiffany blue (“turquoise mist”) silk cover for their wedding album. As always, the cover debossing is one of my favorite features on these custom albums. I love full spreads that are almost seamless across both…
The Silver Moon silk has been a very popular album cover this year! That and the gray leather as well. Today I’m sharing Jenny and Adam’s gorgeous wedding album, a 10″ book debossed with their names and wedding date. I love how cohesive each of their layouts appear, with such consistent coloring. Here is the…
This album was a year in the making, from Rebecca and David’s wedding in November 2014, and it was totally worth the wait! We created one medium 10×10″ album and two 6″ minis for their parents. The mini albums are a perfect combination of great value and a smaller book, but at 6″ square, not…
This was such a beautiful album– perfect in the large 12-inch square size– featuring Ninna and Eric’s gorgeous Chicago wedding. They selected the gunmetal gray leather album with their names and wedding date debossed on the cover. Love all these layouts! It’s such a pleasure to see weddings culminate in these heirloom creations. Anna Wu is…
We created three beautiful heirloom albums for Adrienne and Jenton’s wedding last year: one medium 10″ album and two 6″ mini albums for their parents, all in gunmetal leather. I thought it fitting to sneak in a purple orchid since their venue was the Purple Orchid Inn too. Take a look below! Love! Anna…
THE BACKGROUND: I have been a Canon user all my life (since age 10). I recently bought my first Sony, the a7s, in 2014, and I’ve loved having the smaller mirrorless camera with its awesome features like wifi and silent shooting. But now, my lens has broken in the same exact way four times in…
Twenty-five years ago, the Contemporary Arts Center in Cincinnati exhibited Robert Mapplethorpe’s “The Perfect Moment” and was immediately met with controversy. Nine of the first people through the door were a grand jury who looked at the 175 images and deemed seven of them to not only be offensive but criminal because of their explicit sexual content. The grand…
Last weekend, I teamed up with Brianne of Brown Fox Calligraphy and Melanie of Hawthorn Flower Studio to offer our “Calligraphy and Centerpieces” workshop in San Francisco. We had a full class of ten awesome students. They first learned the basics of calligraphy for menus and escort cards and then each got to create a…
I absolutely love delivering wedding albums as a final product to my clients. These albums are hand crafted to perfection, and they’ll last for generations to come. I actually delivered this to Grace and Andy quite a while ago, but I forgot to post about it until now! They selected the “silver moon” silk as…
Dream Job. It was so much fun to be hired by Dots Cupcakes in Pasadena to photograph their beautiful, delicious cupcakes for their new website. See just a glimpse of the goodies below. Such a great shoot. If you’re in the Los Angeles area, be sure to go grab some Dots Cupcakes for yourself….
