Land and sea. That was Jennifer’s request for their proposal location, and what a spectacular combination of land and sea they had for this beautiful moment. Jacob was making every effort to keep the proposal a surprise for Jennifer, but he inadvertently tipped her off, and then decided to just tell her everything. So, perhaps…
Well, I’ve never encountered a foggier day atop Mt. Tam. But Chrissy and Aaron have already been through many difficult challenges in life together: surviving a pandemic, caring for ailing family members, and also grieving great losses together. So this layer of cold, windy fog certainly didn’t rank anywhere on their top challenges list. Rather,…

On a beautiful day in July, we drove north of the city for an afternoon of kayaking in Tomales Bay. Alex signed us up for a group kayak tour with REI, and we were lucky in every way with not only clear skies but also favorable winds, and we discovered the ease of a tandem…
This was such a beautiful session, already two years in the making. Annsa and Arvind booked me back in 2019, and by the time they actually have their wedding, it will be three years later, in 2022. They have been incredibly thoughtful and wonderful through this crazy time, not only in the glimpses I’ve seen…
Mt. Tam always delivers. Whether sunny or foggy, there’s a special magic about being in the hills above the city. Out in nature and yet able to spot San Francisco right there in the distance. We traveled to Mt Tamalpais on a weekday for Christine and Hanlin’s engagement session and were rewarded with a beautiful…
Berkenesh and Norver had their hearts set on an engagement session in the sprawling hills of Mt. Tamalpais, which I always love. I usually photograph in Mt. Tam around sunset, but since they weren’t available that evening, we opted for a sunrise session instead! And wow, it was incredibly worth it. Though we were all…
I loved meeting Carolyn and Cynthia, two amazing women from NYC who have absolutely fallen in love with each other and are now the counterbalances in one another’s lives. Carolyn is a bit more serious, and Cynthia gregarious and fun-loving. But they are constantly laughing together and marveling over how lucky they are to have…
I love that these three sisters wanted to give their parents this photo session as their Christmas gift. With two of the sisters living here in the Bay, one in NYC, and their parents in Taiwan, they’ve long talked about wanting to do a family photo session but never been in the same place long…
It was such a joy to head up to Mount Tamalpais for this portrait session with Kait and John, who are expecting their first child in January! Mt Tam has a special place in their hearts, since it was atop the East Peak that they got engaged. And with this perfect autumn day and golden…
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!…
Up in the rolling hills of Mount Tamalpais, we walked and explored, wandering until the sun went down. It was a lovely respite for Kay and Michael, who flew in from Florida for a bit of California adventure. Anna Wu is a wedding and portrait photographer based in San Francisco. She creates beautiful, soft,…
