We created three beautiful heirloom albums for Adrienne and Jenton’s wedding last year: one medium 10″ album and two 6″ mini albums for their parents, all in gunmetal leather. I thought it fitting to sneak in a purple orchid since their venue was the Purple Orchid Inn too. Take a look below! Love! Anna…
I absolutely love delivering wedding albums as a final product to my clients. These albums are hand crafted to perfection, and they’ll last for generations to come. I actually delivered this to Grace and Andy quite a while ago, but I forgot to post about it until now! They selected the “silver moon” silk as…
Cake party! We had such a lovely shoot with these wooden cake toppers from Brown Fox Calligraphy, cakes decorated by my friend Andrew Chao, and florals by Hawthorn Flower Studio. Here’s a little glimpse at our three pretty cakes below: Vendors: Cake toppers: Brown Fox Calligraphy Cake: Andrew Chao Florals: Hawthorn Flower Studio Venue: Berkeley City…
First of all, a big congratulations is in order for my friend Brianne who, as of this week, is now a full-time calligrapher! We met only recently through a mutual friend of our shared alma mater, but we hit it off right away, and we’ve been thinking up all sorts of collaborations ever since. Check out Brianne’s…
I just love seeing a finished album, the perfect way of capturing a wedding story for generations to come. We created a beautiful silver silk album for Michelle and Xavier. It’s a 10×10″ size, debossed with their names and wedding date. Michelle and her mother share such a special relationship. I love how it’s reflected…
I absolutely love Mairin and Nikhil’s final products from their two-day Indian wedding celebration. We created a wonderfully large 80-page book to include as many photos as possible while still keeping a beautiful, clean layout. And in addition to their large 12×12″ album, they also created two 6×6″ mini books to share with each of their parents….
This is a wonderful, compact little gem that Amy and David created to commemorate their wedding day. They selected a naval blue leather cover for the 8×8″ album, and it’s packed with some of my favorite moments from the day. A beautiful heirloom! I love seeing and flipping through these albums and re-living all the…
Over Mother’s Day weekend, my friend Tiffany and I got to check out Heath Ceramics’ open studios event by participating in a workshop at the San Francisco store. We got to learn about their bud vases and try our hands at pouring one from a mold and also glazing one to keep. It was tons of fun…
I didn’t gamble or go clubbing or even do much shopping, but I did enjoy a very fancy hotel stay and lots of delicious meals during my time in Vegas. A bit unconventional perhaps, but since Jesse was there for a work conference, I simply tagged along for the week! It also kicked off our little West Coast…
I absolutely love finishing off a wedding order with a beautiful heirloom album. It’s such a beautiful way of telling the story of a wedding day in a tangible form. For their wedding album, Bridgette and Ryan chose a gorgeous gray silk and the medium 10×10″ size. I always love custom debossing the cover. Bridgette…
I have been working on a number of behind-the-scenes projects for my business since the beginning of the year: office space, a new website, and now, this packaging & rebranding, thanks to my friend Nikki of Akula Kreative. View the full writeup on Nikki’s blog here: Akula Kreative | Anna Wu Photography, and glimpse some of…
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…
