A warm and wonderful congratulations to Raquel and Ben! I absolutely love surprise proposals, and this one was an incredibly sweet one, complete with lots of tears and laughter. Ben reached out with his ideas for this Stanford proposal, and despite a last-minute pivot on the exact location due to some poorly placed construction fencing,…
J & A are college sweethearts, having toughed out years of harsh winters together in the Northeast. Now that they have relocated to Stanford, they have moved on to nicer weather and are embarking on a whole new set of adventures together. We embraced a beautiful golden day on campus for their engagement session. See…
It was so much fun to meet up with James and Jonathan (JJ and JC) for their engagement session all around the Stanford campus, where JC always used to visit JJ during his Ph.D studies. We even ended the session at the very unglamorous loading dock where JC would often wait to pick up JJ…
Minerva and Hoover are college sweethearts who met as freshmen at UC Berkeley. They have been together for the decade and a half since, and their medical training has taken each of the them across the country and back, with years spent together and years living a long distance from each other. Now, they’ve came…
I had the best time roaming around Stanford’s campus and visiting The Dish with M & D on a beautifully sunny day. You’d think that after fourteen years living in the Bay Area and working as a photographer I would have visited the Stanford Dish at least a handful of times for photo sessions or…
Springtime at Stanford! It’s been years since I’ve photographed on the Stanford campus, and it was such a delight to be back. Jenny and Jun are both PhD students at Stanford, but they have actually been classmates ever since middle school. Glimpse some of my favorite portraits from their engagement session below! Anna Wu…
It was such a delight to work with Daniel on this proposal for his girlfriend Genevieve. The two of them are from Singapore and met their freshman year at UC Berkeley. In December of that year, the two of them sat on this exact bench, and it was there that Daniel asked Genevieve to be…
It was three years ago that I met up with Joyce and Keven for their engagement session on the Berkeley campus where they had first met and fallen in love. Later that year, they were wed in a beautiful Nestldown wedding. And now we were back at Berkeley for the next chapter in their love…
Together, they are warm, silly, and so in love. Their joy is positively contagious. I met up with Adrienne and Jenton for some springtime portraits all over the Berkeley campus, and we had so much fun and so many laughs together. I’m already looking forward to their wedding this fall! Anna Wu is a…
This love story begins at Top Dog. Joyce and Keven were both students at the University of California Berkeley, and while they had lived in the same freshman dorm and knew each other, they hadn’t really spent much time together. That is, of course, until Top Dog. Joyce was inside ordering, and when Keven walked…
Autumn in California may not be as dazzling or dramatic as the famed autumns of New England, but we still have some colorful trees sprinkled about, and whatever we may lack in leaves we certainly make up for with our beautiful, mild weather. The combination makes for a picture-perfect setting. On a California-autumn day in…
