I headed toward the freezing cold chill of New York to celebrate Jesse’s birthday back in November. During the week, I made small excursions around his ‘new’ neighborhood in Midtown (my last visit, Jesse was still living downtown). And of course at night and on the weekends, we had plenty of foodie adventures all around Manhattan…
Stephanie and Ian are one of my awesome wedding couples for 2015. And while they’ll be getting married here in California (at the Berkeley City Club), they actually currently live in Washington, D.C., and they used to live in New York City together. So it was just great luck that we were all in New York City…
Back in New York City again! I photographed this beautiful Brooklyn wedding in June, and of course I got to spend some time exploring more of Manhattan while I was there. We kick it off with a classic shot of Grand Central Station– this was en route to our Blue Hill at Stone Barns day trip….
It has been ten years since Michelle and Xavier first started dating, and now it was all coming together in one big party in their own neighborhood of Williamsburg, Brooklyn. Both the bride and the groom started the day as a bundle of nerves, anxious to take this next step together. But as soon as…
A month after my last trip to New York City, I was back again in May to photograph a lovely wedding and to enjoy more springtime adventures. We kick off the post with afternoon tea at Laduree in Soho! The famous Laduree is undeniably cute, but the already-expensive macarons ($2.85 I believe) jump to $3.15…
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…
Springtime in New York City sure beats every other season in New York. Never mind the fact that there was still snow on the ground when I arrived in April. What the air still lacked in warmth, it made up for with a sense of promise. Cherry and magnolia blossoms were out in full force,…
I am so thrilled to announce the winners of our for both San Francisco and New York City. I was so touched by the stories these couples shared, and I also want to give a big thank you to all of the couples who emailed us but didn’t win. And now, meet our giveaway winners!…
Sushi Nakazawa was poised for fame from the start. Its namesake chef, Daisuke Nakazawa, is prominently featured in the documentary Jiro Dreams of Sushi as the apprentice who recounts his struggles to perfect his tamago-yaki. Once restaurateur Alessandro Borgognone successfully brought Nakazawa to New York City, the rising star chef and the city that adores sushi would…
I spent Christmas Day lounging around at home until it was time to head to the airport. Overnight, I flew cross-country to New York City, and there I arrived, dark and early, at 6am. This was my first time spending the holidays in New York, and with all the crazy snowstorms this year, it was…
The fluffy white snow had begun crusting into ice, rain fell from the sky, and our fingertips were frozen, but with a classic Hasselblad 501C in hand, it was all tolerable. Beautiful, even. I can think of no better way to commemorate a snowy New York City than with these lovely film– yes, analog film…
I am so excited to introduce my new personal project for 2014: Art for Art. Once a month, I will find a fellow photographer whose work I admire, and I’ll photograph them; they’ll 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 ourselves…
