Sophia is brilliant, talks a mile a minute, remembers everyone she’s ever met, is busy saving the world, and salsa dances in her free time. It’s very difficult to keep up with her, but somehow she’s met her match in Terrence. He’s the doctor to her (former) lawyer, completely social media-less while Sophia is compulsively…
Jessica and Andrew were certain about marrying each other, but they weren’t so sure they wanted a wedding. They thought they might just go to City Hall and get married. But their families convinced them to put together this little backyard celebration instead. And it was indeed still lovely, simple, and filled with their closest…
You might remember S & H from their elopement back in April. They weren’t originally planning to have a whole wedding reception, but with the encouragement of their families, they decided to throw a little shindig, complete with a bubbles show, taco truck, and sundae bar, all at their family brewery in Rancho Cordova. We…
Silpa and Preet share a love of photography, and it was an absolute delight to revel with them in this beautiful California sunshine. We began in the Marin headlands with the perfect scenic view into the valley, and we ended the session over at Land’s End in San Francisco. See some of my favorites below!…
They were meant to be together, but they just didn’t realize it at first. They met ten years ago through mutual friends and even worked together briefly. But when they tried dating the first time, it just did not work. Luckily, they remained friends. And by the time they came back around to the idea…
Meet Margaret and Lance, two absolute sweethearts. I love that we headed to their own neighborhood in San Francisco for their engagement session location. We started at the Filbert Street Steps and worked our way over to Pier 7 on the Embarcadero, snapping all sorts of wonderful portraits along the way. Anna Wu…
Yuzhi and Jason first met as interns at Facebook seven years ago. They were with a group of friends hiking Half Dome at Yosemite when something about surviving in the wilderness together sparked into the start of their romance. They still share the same love of the outdoors, but they’ve added DIY projects around the…
High school sweethearts. These two have been together for over a decade, ever since they met in high school in Indiana. They’ve grown up and been together through it all, even through seven years of long distance. Congratulations on the next phase of your relationship, Sheryl & Roger! Here’s a glimpse at their engagement session…
This day has been a long time coming for Nancy and Quoc. They’ve each had siblings who have thrown huge weddings with hundreds of guests, but they really just wanted something simple: no big celebration, just to be married. So they made their appointment for San Francisco City Hall, and it was just the two…
Tien and Jeremy’s lives and love story have taken them all around the world to more than a handful of countries, but now they’ve settled down in San Francisco, ready to embark on a whole new chapter together. We met up on a lovely day in San Francisco for a nice saunter through the woods…
I adored working with Emily and Adithya for their Downtown Los Angeles engagement session. Adithya is currently living in Sacramento for the year while Emily lives in LA, so coordinating this shoot took a little bit of doing, especially when the original date we had set for last month ended up pouring rain and also…
One morning at 10:30am, I received a text from H asking whether I might be free that afternoon… he and S were eloping! Of course I dropped everything and excitedly joined in to document the day. Yes, it was kind of last minute, but also not. S & H have been together for eight years,…
