I met Grace and Andy at Crissy Field in San Francisco for their engagement session, and they also brought along their two fur-kids: Tina and Bailey. They dashed around rambunctiously and added extra spice to Grace’s beautiful, unstoppable laughs and Andy’s good-natured smiles as we adventured our way through to the end of the shoot…
We drove through the winding hills, ascending past ambitious bicyclists and sweeping views. It took over an hour to reach our destination right in the middle of Mt. Tampalpais, and it was absolutely worth the trek. Daisy and Sam were treated to beautiful sunshine and a perfectly warm day, and I absolutely love so many…
They met over five years ago with a hearty dose of serendipity and the willingness to go the extra mile for each other, literally. She was living in Sacramento and he was in San Jose, two and a half hours away, but they met online, and he made the five-hour round trip journey to meet…
There’s a special magic to walking amidst the redwoods at 6pm on a Thursday. The park is almost empty, quiet but for the sounds of nature that surround you. It was the perfect setting to Katherine and Josh’s engagement session. And though dogs aren’t allowed in Muir Woods itself, their pup Scout got to join…
Standing at Land’s End, where San Francisco meets the Pacific Ocean, they braced themselves against the whipping of the wind. Holding each other close, they carved out their own little space together. I love these two and their gorgeous two-part engagement session. Can’t wait for the wedding later this year!

The party was beautifully arranged– the perfect balance of a casual gathering and an elegant reception. Meghana and Aseem gathered with some of their closest family and friends at the Jacuzzi Family Winery in Sonoma, not quite for their wedding yet, but for their engagement party. It was a wonderful California celebration in advance of their Denver wedding later…
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…
I’m excited to welcome my friend Pei, who’s guest blogging with us today. Pei is a freelance costume and production designer in Los Angeles, and she recently launched her own lifestyle blog, Have Patience. I love Pei’s ability to combine casual clothing with elegance, and I thought she would be the perfect person to help…
Rebecca is one of the smartest yet humblest people that I know. We were friends from college, and then we were roommates my first two years living in California. It was autumn in our first year as roommates when Rebecca first met Dave, and they clicked immediately. What could have been a brief first date stretched…
Tracy was at Golden Gate Park one day with her dog Charlie, when Charlie decided to step in and play the role of matchmaker. Kyle struck up a conversation about the pup, and months later, he and Tracy were having their first date at La Mar on Embarcadero. Tracy and Kyle now live together in…
Chhay plotted this proposal months in advance. He knew that Li loves flash mob proposals, and so he set out to craft the perfect flash mob, just for her. Friends flew in from all over the country and even Canada, and they had all individually learned the dance routine via a secret tutorial video. Two…
