We almost postponed this session due to rain all week, but it held off and we were rewarded with a beautiful golden hour and even a rainbow! It was such an honor to be reunited with Allie and David, my wedding clients from a few years ago, to document this new chapter of their lives…
Meet-cute: wedding. Tina was a bridesmaid at her friend’s wedding, when her friend, the bride, called her and Alex out in her speech for being single. Alex came over to say hi, and they started a bicoastal long-distance relationship between New York and San Francisco, until Tina joined him in San Francisco. They’ve traveled the…
I first met Courtney and Nick just over five years ago when I photographed their engagement session in Golden Gate Park. I was so delighted to hear from them again and find out that they’re now expecting their first child! We got together for a new portrait session with the two of them and their…

Tien is Taiwanese but grew up in Saudi Arabia, Egypt, and Malaysia before going to college at the University of Michigan… where Jeremy also went! But they…
Margaret and Lance are both incredibly sweet and are secretly goofballs on the inside. They’ve been together for five years, with plenty of adventures in that time. They especially love national parks and got engaged at Glacier National Park last year. They decided to be wed at the ever-elegant Legion of Honor, an art museum…
Pauline wanted a fairytale engagement, and a fairytale engagement she got! We had some Cinderella moments in the woods and the true magic of golden hour at Land’s End. Anna Wu is a wedding and portrait photographer based in San Francisco. She creates beautiful, soft, and timeless imagery while capturing the most fleeting of moments….
Here’s a little glimpse of my June in the Bay: a craft night, a victory parade, a garden party, and a pile of rugs! First up, craft night at Do-Hee’s studio (which has since been sold, so she’s looking for a new space!) We all brought our own crafts to work on. Nicole’s was macrame! Kayla…

March! Champagne, museums, the symphony, and a couple gardens. See my local travelogues below. Cheers! Champagne date with Rachael, Amanda, & Bri. Bouquets to Art at the deYoung Museum: a variety of floral designers create their own installations inspired by the art in the museum. I thought this one was hilarious. Ready to climb!…
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…
Ed and Matt met exactly seventeen years ago, and now they had traveled to California from Ohio to be wed. It was a simple and beautiful little ceremony– just Ed and Matt with Ed’s cousin Jane and her husband Ted officiating. We walked down a short path to a corner of the golf course, just borrowing the…
When my friend Howard gifted this portrait session to his sister, I was first surprised to learn that he had a sister and then surprised to learn that she lives right here in Oakland, no more than five minutes from me! It took quite a while to schedule the shoot with Cindy and her boyfriend…
