It’s time for part two of our week in Alaska! Passing back through Anchorage for brunch, we headed north towards Denali for part two of our Alaska trip. Our first stop was Talkeetna, an absolutely adorable little town filled with shops and restaurants. Loved the town of Talkeetna! Birch bark baskets and handmade knives. Root…
Alaska: the final frontier. A while back, my friend Amy told me she’s been wanting to go to Alaska, and I responded that Alaska has been on my list too (then again, everything is on my list). Soon enough, we were planning a trip for this summer. Since Alaska is a gigantic state, four times…
It’s time to head for the Alps! This was the main goal of our Switzerland trip: to walk around in nature and breathe in that salubrious mountain air. Admittedly I was imagining springtime when I planned the trip for mid April, but while it was springtime in the cities, it was actually still winter up…
Welcome to Switzerland! This whole visit was prompted by the fact that Icelandair bundles their flights so that a flight to Europe includes a stopover in Iceland for free– so I figured if I was going to Iceland I should really pick a destination to visit in Europe as well! I’d never been to Switzerland,…
We continue our journey around the Ring Road with part two of our Iceland adventures! As you may recall, Cassie and I closed out our epic third day of the trip in Hofn. We then continued on our counter-clockwise road trip around the country by visiting some small towns on the eastern side of the…
Like any sensible photographer-traveler, I have had my sights set on Iceland for quite some time. Neither Cassie nor I remember exactly how we started talking about Iceland with each other, but suddenly, as we are prone to doing, we had dates and flights and were making it happen. We were visiting in the beginning…
It was a last-minute idea that just came to mind while I was driving home on the 30th of December, and just as quickly, it turned into solid travel plans for the next day. Instead of seeking out a fancy New Year’s Eve celebration or watching fireworks, I booked a stay at a farm off…
A huge congratulations to Tina and Michael on their engagement! Michael proposed in the Marin Headlands where they had their first hike together, and I was honored to be on hand to capture the occasion. I love hearing the story from my couples themselves, so I’ll let them take it away! From Michael: I knew…
Autumn in Acadia is simply stunning. Much like my time in Yosemite, we had persistent fog and rain hanging over us. And yet, it was still so beautiful. Fog and foliage make a great match after all. Sunrise from Cadillac Mountain… the first spot to see sunrise in the United States. We apparently visited China…
This is the second part of many in my journey through New Zealand and Australia. We pick up on Day 3 of our time in South Island, and the beautiful scenery continues. After lunch in Queenstown, we drove up to Wanaka (rhymes with Hannukah), where we would stay that night. We opted for a short…
New Zealand’s South Island is incredibly scenic. It’s the kind of setting that lends itself to descriptions like ‘awe-inspiring,’ ‘spectacular,’ ‘resplendent.’ It’s almost too much to take in when you’re actually there, when every turn reveals a different, equally impressive landscape. Now, in hindsight, having placed it in context with the rest of my three-week trip through New…
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. Anna Wu is a wedding and portrait photographer based…
