Jeri & Dan | Allied Arts Guild Wedding
Jeri was giving online dating one last shot before she was about to give up on it altogether. She and Dan matched on the Coffee Meets Bagel app. A chat box opened with a prompt: “Do you think the toys from Toy Story would still love Andy in his rebellious teenage years?” Dan answered, “I…

Camping at Lake Tahoe in 2020
After a couple glorious days in Yosemite, we drove north to Lake Tahoe, where we had camping reservations for the rest of the week. We had such a wonderful time in Emerald Bay, and we really loved our campsite in the Eagle Point Campgrounds. Would 100% do it again, pandemic or not. We left through…

Yannie & Howard | Wedding Album
I am delighted to share this beautiful wedding album we created for Yannie and Howard. They were originally planning a big wedding for 2020, but of course had to shift plans in order to have a much smaller ceremony in these pandemic times. But I am so glad they still chose to commemorate the beautiful…

Reservations are now required…

Lightning Round | August, 2020
Oh, how quickly things change. The hallmark of August was my first-ever backpacking trip, which just happened to coincide with the very unexpected and extreme lightning storms that subsequently lit California on fire. Well, I’m glad to report that we are totally fine. But here’s a look through another wild month of 2020: Garden bounty…

Christine & Bobby | Wedding Album
Every wedding album is a bit of a time capsule, but it feels extra special to be able to look back at Christine and Bobby’s wedding, which happened in 2020 before the pandemic. Mere months ago, we were still able to have full, un-distanced weddings! What a world. I’m so glad these two were able…

Priyanka & Karthik | Wedding Album
I love how this suite of wedding albums turned out for Priyanka and Karthik’s mult-day Indian wedding. They opted for a medium album with custom calligraphy on the cover, as well as a small album with the standard font and a few mini albums as well, all clad in a beautiful light green luxe linen….

Jeri & Dan | San Jose Engagement Photography
It was so lovely to see my friends Jeri and Dan for their engagement session. These days it feels like a surprise when anything actually goes according to plan, and this was a date that we had scheduled months and months in advance. Luckily, it was a beautiful, smoke-free day, and the San Jose Municipal…
