They met on twitter before twitter was even popular. Both software developers, Jane and Kevin found their perfect matches in one another. They share a love of cartoons and comics, which was manifested in an Adventure Time-themed cake at their wedding. They also love their adopted cat, who willingly supervised the scene as they got…
Theirs was a whirlwind romance. Yoon, originally from Korea, was in Iowa for graduate school, while Steve, from Indiana, had found his way to Iowa for work. They were set up on a blind date and knew immediately that they had found something special. By their fifth date, Yoon was flying across the country to meet…
A look of disbelief passed between them. Happy, this-is-surreal disbelief, but disbelief nonetheless. It might have been the five years that have passed since they first fell in love and got engaged. They never thought it could happen, especially since they lived in Texas. Or it might have been the entire day of being pampered…
Jenny and Kevin and I have an annual tradition of documenting their love story and creating a new album to chronicle their lives together. This year was their third anniversary, and so we photographed them in their first home together– a home which they’ve now sold. We created these unique chartreuse leather heirloom albums, and…
I’ve been looking forward to this lovely portrait session for almost a year since our last shoot together. Shau-Ru and Ed are always plotting little getaways and romantic gestures for each other that are just so sweet. It’s a true joy to see what Shau-Ru dreams up for each of our shoots. For their second…
It’s our little tradition to document Jenny and Kevin’s love story and to create a beautiful leather album every year. For this, our fifth shoot together, we opted to document a slice of their lives in their first home together, which we have lovingly dubbed the “Yauhaus” (after their last name, Yau). We started with…
A mile up the road from the lodge, we made the right turn. We wound down a short gravel road as the dust kicked up and painted golden beams of sunlight in the air. At the end of the path, a clearing– a spectacular clearing, with a canyon full of evergreens lit in the background….
Julie and Jeremy first met when their projects converged at Google. Actually, Julie had to pull a few strings to get Jeremy onto her project, but he finally helped her turn the Google Maps cursor into a panda bear for an April Fools joke. And as they tell it, it was love at first site….
This wedding was such a special experience for me, because when I look at Jen, I can still see her as Jenni with a heart over the “i” from our elementary school days. We lost touch when I moved away in middle school but were reconnected some fifteen years later thanks to the magic of…
It is always an honor to be a part of a friend’s wedding, and this one was extra special, as I got to return to my home state of Ohio and photograph Karen, whom I’ve known for over a decade. Karen and Sam are cute and hilarious together. Their relationship is perhaps best exemplified by…
A lovely story, as told by our couple themselves: Once upon a time, there was a cute little hot dog stand in the lovely college town of Berkeley, CA that went by the name of Top Dog where our couple had their very first date. They shared a few laughs and maybe a napkin (or…
What an incredibly special wedding for a very special couple. All of the details were perfectly personal to them, including vintage birding table cards to reflect their love of birding, and the overall “1920s Paris” theme to reflect their year in Paris together and their love of all things historical. But the absolute best part…
