photo sessions
Hannah reached out to me, loving my portraits of couples set in a vast landscape. We chose Mount Tamalpais for her engagement session with Ben to capture just that: a beautiful couple, in love, amidst the epic expanse of the hills, the fog, and the city they call home, off in the distance. And of…
Maya and Jason first met in college over a decade ago, and they have since lived so much life together, moving across the country to her hometown on the East Coast and then to his on the West Coast. They are now embarking on the next chapter of their lives, united and together for good,…
Jarod and Seohyun have been together for seven years, having met as university students and then moving across Australia and traveling the world together. I helped Jarod to plan this proposal for her while he was at home in Melbourne and I was on the road in Tokyo, for their rather last-minute trip to San…
What an honor to photograph three generations of this beautiful family, all together! I was delighted to meet the newest member of Annsa and Arvind’s family, though he may have been more hesitant to meet me. The very windy day didn’t help much. But the images still turned out beautifully! A few of my favorites…
What an absolute delight to photograph this wedding for Cassandra and Walter! Cassandra was actually my photography intern more than a decade ago. She assisted me on all sorts of weddings and other sessions and learned some of my workflow and editing processes behind the scenes as well. It was so fun to catch up…
It was such a delight to photograph Tracey’s book event at the adorable Books on B in Hayward. Tracey is a certified leadership coach, who has now turned her coaching wisdom into her debut book, The Magic of Knowing What You Want. I love seeing a community come together in support of one of its own….
I photographed K amidst her cancer treatments last year, documenting her body after chemotherapy and before her mastectomy. I just wanted to share the little black book we created from that session– an addition to the quite different little black book with first made for her boudoir session years ago. We chose a simple black…
I have loved watching this little family grow! I first photographed E when he was just two weeks old, and now he’s up and about, exploring the world on his own two feet. The Yens have been diligent about taking the whole family on hikes, so we headed into one of their favorite environments for…
K and Z had a beautiful San Francisco wedding day , first getting ready at the Hotel Kabuki in Japantown, taking a Waymo over to San Francisco’s City Hall for an intimate ceremony, and completing their celebrations with a reception at Foreign Cinema. All in all such a beautiful, elegant way to mark their union….
What a stunning backdrop for a beautiful moment! Chloe and Jeffrey were visiting California from Michigan, but the forecasts turned rather foreboding for the weekend. Luckily, Jeffrey was able to rearrange a few things around the weather and found a reprieve amidst the rainy days to bring Chloe down to Big Sur on a little…
This was a sweet session for Ailan and her family, walking around Lake Chabot in the East Bay. Her two sons were home from college for the holidays, and their energetic new puppy was ready to steal the show. Anna Wu is a wedding and portrait photographer based in San Francisco. View her work at…
It is such a tremendous gift to be able to document these special moments for my dearest friends. The newest Baby Valente joined the family in December, and I was there six days later to document the whole family at home. Welcome to the world, baby! I am so thrilled to watch you all grow…
