I have known both Ninna and Eric for several years now, and it’s always been a pleasure to meet up with them in various cities as our friends gather together. It was such an honor to help them capture their wedding in Chicago this spring. With Ninna’s kindhearted nature and Eric’s enthusiasm for new ideas and…
Dalen sat in front of Stephanie at a new church they were both visiting one day, and they met during the unusually long ‘meet and greet’ time after the service. Stephanie left the service thinking she’d never see Dalen again…until he walked by her a few blocks from her home. They ended up walking together to Trader…
This was such a special treat when my friend Amy contacted me about flying out to Houston to photograph her newborn baby. Amy and I had gone to high school together and I hadn’t seen her since then, but she had been following my work all these years, so when she was expecting her first…
Mawwage! Mawwage is wot bwings us togeder today. Yes, the ceremony from The Princess Bride. A (Jewish) friend dressed in full Catholic bishop regalia kicked off the wedding with his hilarious rendition of the ceremony, performed with a straight face all the way through. This happened after the bride walked down the aisle with a…
Jennifer contacted me months ago for some maternity photos, but we ended up rescheduling until after she had baby Liam, so I got to visit the new family in their beautiful home. I love Liam’s giant head of hair! So adorable. Such a beautiful family! Anna Wu is a wedding and portrait photographer based in…
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…
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…
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…
After twenty-three years, they were finally wed. For most of the day, a light and excited happiness permeated everyone’s spirits. I was immediately welcomed by Neil and Tom as we headed to Central Park, and I was warmly introduced to some of their closest friends. The wedding would be a small, intimate gathering and a lunch reception, so it felt…
My friend Cynthia is an incredibly talented musician and all-around creative. We got together at Hotel Rex in San Francisco’s Union Square for some glamorous portraits to help promote her new jazz solo show. With a mix of stage photos and some sultry rooftop shots, I love the look and feel we were able to…
I am so excited to share this third edition of my 2014 personal project, Art for Art. Once a month, I find a fellow photographer whose work I admire, and I photograph them; they photograph me. We’ll get to see each other work; we’ll explore how different or similar our styles might be; and we can challenge…
A look of disbelief passed between them. Happy, this-is-surreal disbelief, but disbelief nonetheless. It might have been the five years that have passed since they first fell in love and got engaged. They never thought it could happen, especially since they lived in Texas. Or it might have been the entire day of being pampered…
