Anny and John first met at a summer camp, when she was just about to start as a freshman at UC Berkeley and he was a senior at Cal. They soon became good friends with a bit of a crush, but it took quite a bit of luck, determination, and quite a bit of time…
I am very proud to announce a new line in my photography: Boudoir by Anna Wu. Beauty, sweetness, and light. I recently started boudoir photography as a way to step beyond my own comfort zone and to push my own creativity as an artist. My style of boudoir photography is soft, beautiful, elegant, and always tasteful. To…
An hour east of Sacramento, there lies a tiny little town called Amador City. Today, with less than 200 residents, it is but a charming little remnant of the California gold rush. Nyesha and Eugene had vacationed here and stayed at the Imperial Hotel a year before, and they decided it would also be the…
We are now on part two, day two of my Memorial Day weekend adventures. We started the day at China Camp, a state park up by San Rafael. Unfortunately, it is about to be shut down next month due to California state budget issues, so our visit was aptly timed. China Camp was a historic…
Friday night of Memorial Day weekend, I texted my good friend Dan because we still had no plans whatsoever, and we needed to do something! Dan is the perfect adventure buddy because he is not fazed by the randomness of our trips (example: Salton Sea). After all, spontaneous trips often turn out to be the…
Meet Lorin & Reese! These two are so sweet, and they have a little one on the way! I met them on Mother’s Day in their beautiful San Francisco apartment, and we spent a little time there and down the street at the park for a few portraits. \ Favorite! Congratulations, Lorin & Reese!
To say this Memorial Day weekend has been incredible is certainly the understatement of my year. In the last two days, I watched a waterfall pour into the ocean, I was attacked by a turkey on a hiking trail, and I saw fireworks spew from the Golden Gate Bridge. I have so many stories to…
On a gorgeous Sunday afternoon, I met up with Julia for some beautiful dance portraits and headshots at the Municipal Rose Garden in San Jose. I never knew such a place existed in San Jose! Below are just a few of my favorite frames.
This was such an incredible surprise proposal. Vijay crafted such an intricate plan, completely thoughtful and intimate down to the last detail. It was not a big public display or self indulgent in the least. It was all for Anika. It was all about Anika. While Anika went to work, Vijay prepared everything in her…
This is an engagement I’ve been looking forward to for a while now. You may remember my friends Sun and Elliot from their portrait session a year ago, before they were engaged, just as they were about to embark on a year of long distance across San Francisco and Vietnam. Well, they made it through…
This elopement takes my breath away. Erin is a painter; Thomas is a composer. They both knew they didn’t want a big, expensive wedding. It was difficult for their families to not be there for the ceremony, but they knew this was what fit them best. They flew from New York City to Big Sur,…
She is a pharmacist by trade, but she doubles as a clarinetist in her free time. I met with Elisa one Sunday for a quick headshot session outside the Dean Lesher Theater in Walnut Creek. I love the mix of looks we got! Some of my favorites are below.
