I’m so excited to share my latest personal project: the Portrait Party. The idea is very simple: I gather a small group of people, we throw ourselves a little party, and I take portraits of everyone. I come across so many people who say they could really use an updated headshot, but instead of just having a huge…
The San Francisco Museum of Modern Art is back after a three-year renovation, and it’s beautiful. The museum opens to the public this Saturday, May 14, but I couldn’t wait so I signed up for membership and have already visited the museum twice in the last two weeks during member previews! Below are just a few glimpses…

Back in March, right after I had gotten back from New Zealand and Australia (which I have yet to blog), I got to join my friend Nancy for a day of wine tasting in Healdsburg in celebration of her birthday. It was such a lovely way to return to California. See some of the beautiful…
Jessie and Chris were wed in San Francisco’s beautiful City Hall with just their immediate family in tow. Sneak a peek of the elegant ceremony, plus a cameo by Mayor Ed Lee and photos with the giant bunnies that were in the front lawn for a temporary installation. The Mayor hopped in the elevator with us…
It’s always an immense joy and a privilege when I get to photograph my friends. I’ve known Pauline for closer to two decades than one, and I also photographed her sister’s wedding a few years ago. For Pauline’s engagement session with her fiance Justin, we wandered along the Embarcadero in San Francisco, hit up the iconic Ferry Building,…
This cozy little cafe is one of my new favorite tea spots in the Bay Area. Located on San Pablo Ave. in Berkeley, Far Leaves Tea serves traditional Asian teas in a quiet setting. It can be a little confusing to enter the space at first; they seem to have quite a loyal following of…
Have I mentioned how much I love photographing surprise proposals? This one was such a treat. Derrick lives in the Philippines while his girlfriend Vanessa lives here in California, so he planned the proposal from afar, including meeting me over videochat to discuss the details. Both their families were there as part of Derrick’s visit…
I’m thrilled to introduce Aisle Society, a brand new website that was created by over thirty wedding bloggers. It serves as an interactive hub for wedding inspiration. Hop on over to see the new platform, and glimpse a few images from the Aisle Society launch party in San Francisco a couple months ago! Anna Wu is…
I absolutely loved this surprise proposal! It was such a rainy day that Bryan wasn’t sure he would be able to propose outside by the Golden Gate Bridge as he hoped. We planned a rain contingency and a contingency for that contingency. But when the time came, the rain held off and we had a…

Let’s take a little peek into Teance, a store in Berkeley’s West 4th shopping district. The store sells a variety of single-origin teas sourced from Asia. In the center is a round table where you can order full tea tastings, and in the back is a small cafe area with seating upstairs. We sampled a green…
