I absolutely love the choices that Karena and Jason made for their wedding album. I think they turned out perfectly! They chose a charcoal grey luxe linen (“Dusk”) and added custom calligraphy from Brown Fox Calligraphy in rose gold foil. The contrast is so beautiful! We made a 10×10″ medium album for them and two 6×6″…
This industry sure knows how to throw itself a party! I was thrilled when The Pearl asked me to photograph their inaugural showcase last week. The Pearl is a beautiful new venue in the Dogpatch neighborhood of San Francisco. It’s been open just under a year and is full of distinctive artwork from artist Alexis Laurent. I…

We continue on day two of the incredible wedding in India. On the wedding itinerary, it said simply, Sunset at the Lalhmana Sand Dunes. We all piled on to a bus and headed out from the palace, not knowing what to expect. I spotted some camels on the side of the road as we drove by,…
It was like we were living in a beautiful fantasy, or more specifically, Anika’s beautiful fantasy. Even now, as I look back on these photographs, it feels like a dream, too incredible for reality.
