For Alex’s birthday, I booked us a surprise staycation, complete with a blindfolded car ride to see if he could still figure out where we were going. Well, spoiler alert: he is very good at this game and could indeed figure out where we were. However, being blindfolded on Hwy 1 is a prime method…
E visited Muir Woods with her whole family a while back, and she knew immediately that she wanted to come back and take her high school graduation photos there when the time came. Well, E is graduating next year! So the family made another trip, and we roamed around the ancient redwoods for these portraits,…
Yan and Dave met in New York City, and their paths then took them to the west coast, with Yan landing in Seattle for a year while Dave ended up in San Francisco. But the end to long-distance is already in sight, as these two will soon be wed and reunited. In the meantime, Yan…
Having been a wedding photographer for over fifteen years, I’ve had many people tell me I must have all sorts of specific ideas about my own wedding. But no, I am always telling other people that I believe the best weddings are very personalized, and tailored to them as a couple. So of course I…
After their beautiful morning ceremony and an afternoon break, Lakshmi and Jaxon gathered again with friends and family for their wedding reception amidst the redwoods of Deer Park Villa in Fairfax. With heartfelt toasts and a surprise dance performance by the groom and his friends, we all laughed, cried, and danced the night away. Unbeknownst…
Lakshmi and Jaxon met in Denver, though they both hail from the San Francisco Bay Area. To meet Lakshmi is to be instantly won over by her, as Jaxon’s own friends will tell you. (We might like her more than you now, they confess). She is the warm-hearted doctor with a big laugh and he…
Surprise proposals are one of my absolute favorite things to photograph. The excitement! The thoughtful planning! I loved working with Oliver to help him capture his surprise for Molly. I’ll let them tell the story below. From Oliver: Molly and I met online (this was really my first time ever trying this). After a wonderful…
The California girl traveled to Sydney in search of a new adventure. She was vegan at the time, though that didn’t last long when she started working at a steak house. It was there, at “Hurricane’s” by Bondi Beach, living the beach bum life, that she would meet fellow coworker Cameron, who was also just temporarily in Australia….
I absolutely loved working with Shelley and Anthony for their gorgeous engagement session on Mount Tamalpais. Anthony spends every weekend biking long distances in the area, and they were able to scout out some amazing locations for us to explore on our shoot. Stunning all around.

This was such a sweet idea for a 40th anniversary. Everyone was in town for Thanksgiving, so we gathered at the Palace of Fine Arts in San Francisco for some portraits of the whole Yam family. The four in the middle are the original Yams, with their spouses and 3-year-old Ayla too. So fun! Such a wonderful…
Rolling hills, verdant trees, and expansive views. Mount Tamalpais served as the perfect backdrop for Stefanie and Andrew’s engagement session. See some of my favorites below. 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. View her work at…
We drove through the winding hills, ascending past ambitious bicyclists and sweeping views. It took over an hour to reach our destination right in the middle of Mt. Tampalpais, and it was absolutely worth the trek. Daisy and Sam were treated to beautiful sunshine and a perfectly warm day, and I absolutely love so many…
