Straight from the Michigan football game, we rushed off to Cleveland to make it to the ballpark in time to pick up this giveaway: a Steven Kwan t-shirt and a Franmil Reyes bobblehead! Reyes unfortunately was traded off the Cleveland team before they even gave out these bobbleheads… so the team added the Kwan shirts…
To complete our first of two Midwest tours this summer, I went to Cincinnati for a week to visit my mom. We didn’t have much on the itinerary other than regular suburb destinations like the mall and various grocery stores, and one quick trip downtown. But I am so grateful to have gotten this chance…
My first flight since 2019! What an odd feeling. But it was so wonderful to go back to my hometown and visit my mom, as well as explore both Ohio and Kentucky with Alex. We dubbed the trip the “Baseball, Beer, and Bourbon” tour. On the to-do list: Watch a game at Great American Ballpark;…
Say hello to Aileen, Jason, and their adorable little boy Oliver. Aileen and Jason were so generous in bringing me to their home in McKinney, Texas to do a family portrait session for them this fall. It has been a long journey for this family to reach this point, as they discovered that Oliver had…
Hello, Cincinnati! It’s been two years since I last visited the land of my middle- and high school days. Of course my relationship to this city is totally different now as an adult. For one thing, I never actually explored downtown as a kid, instead just staying in my little suburban bubble, but for another,…
Say hello to baby Joseph! I headed to Cincinnati at the beginning of October to meet this little man and visit his parents. Lauren and I were best friends growing up in middle and high school, and it’s such a treat to now see her as a mom. We walked around the neighborhood even though…
Anna Wu Photography is celebrating 10 years in business this month! In honor of the anniversary, we’re catching up with past clients to see where they are today, in our “After I Do” series. Today’s couple is Karen & Sam, who were wed at the Ohio Statehouse on September 14, 2013. So… How has life has changed…
I was there, along with fifty mutual friends, when Alice and Arthur first hit it off in Vegas. It might not have been the most obvious place for a serious relationship to take hold, but for Alice and Arthur, it was enough. A week after Vegas, they met up in NYC for a whirlwind three-day first…
I’m thrilled to share these two back-to-back trips to my hometown of Cincinnati, Ohio. First I went back in August to attend my friend Lauren’s wedding (as a guest!), and then I returned in September to photograph my friend Alice’s wedding. See it all below! My friend Lauren was wed in this beautiful Catholic Church…
I headed back to Cincinnati in early November when my photograph was featured in the Contemporary Arts Center downtown. I meant to blog the rest of my Cincinnati trip a few weeks ago, but it got lost in my blog drafts, so here goes! Scenes from around town in Cincinnati, Ohio: You can also check out…
Say hello again to my beautiful friend Talya, who makes regular appearances on this blog. We met up for a mini photo session while I was back in Cincinnati this fall. See just a glimpse of the lovely opera singer below! Anna Wu is a wedding and portrait photographer based in the San Francisco Bay Area but often…
Twenty-five years ago, the Contemporary Arts Center in Cincinnati exhibited Robert Mapplethorpe’s “The Perfect Moment” and was immediately met with controversy. Nine of the first people through the door were a grand jury who looked at the 175 images and deemed seven of them to not only be offensive but criminal because of their explicit sexual content. The grand…
