One day after Roshanne and Andrew’s lovely, intimate wedding ceremony, they expanded their gathering to a much larger circle of friends and family for a convivial reception at San Francisco’s iconic restaurant Foreign Cinema. There were still so many laughs and tears, and this time lots of speeches, delicious food, and exuberant dancing too! The…
Tiffany and Sevey were wed in a small ceremony with one friend officiating and another as their witness but with all the grandeur of San Francisco City Hall as their backdrop. Congratulations, you two! Anna Wu is a wedding and portrait photographer based in San Francisco, California. She combines a “fine art” aesthetic, with…
The best weddings have everyone both laughing and crying, and this was indeed the best. Victoria and Nick began their wedding celebrations by inviting both their families to stay with them in a lovely little castle in Mill Valley for the weekend. It was the perfect way to spend some quality time together, and it…
Karen and Hadi did not let the rain stop them from some beautiful wedding day portraits at Sutro Baths before their City Hall ceremony. I love these misty, romantic moments against the epic backdrop of the sea. Later, we regrouped inside the beautiful building of San Francisco City Hall for an intimate ceremony with just…
I am so grateful to my dear friend Cassie for creating these studio portraits of us in the last couple months of my pregnancy. We stacked the day with portraits in the morning and my baby shower in the afternoon. All such wonderful markers of a very fleeting time! Photographs by Cassie Valente.Hair…
Angela’s sister Betty was the one to reach out and book this portrait session for her as a gift. Angela is an OB/GYN and is expecting her first child this winter! We were able to wander Bair Island just outside their place for some beautiful sunset portraits, and then we had a little part two…

What an absolute delight to photograph this wedding for Cassandra and Walter! Cassandra was actually my photography intern more than a decade ago. She assisted me on all sorts of weddings and other sessions and learned some of my workflow and editing processes behind the scenes as well. It was so fun to catch up…
I photographed K amidst her cancer treatments last year, documenting her body after chemotherapy and before her mastectomy. I just wanted to share the little black book we created from that session– an addition to the quite different little black book with first made for her boudoir session years ago. We chose a simple black…
K and Z had a beautiful San Francisco wedding day , first getting ready at the Hotel Kabuki in Japantown, taking a Waymo over to San Francisco’s City Hall for an intimate ceremony, and completing their celebrations with a reception at Foreign Cinema. All in all such a beautiful, elegant way to mark their union….
Some of you may remember Jess and Charles from their very foggy beach proposal at Fort Funston, with their golden retriever Satchmo as very adorable witness. This time they left Satchmo at home, but they were joined by their family members as they tied the knot at San Francisco’s City Hall. Love Jess’s jumpsuit! Congratulations,…
Ten years ago, I photographed K for a boudoir session, celebrating and capturing her body as it was at that time, before she planned to have children. This year she reached out to me under quite different circumstances, though her impulse to document and celebrate a changing body remains much the same. K was diagnosed…
