Alex’s quest to visit all 30 Major League Baseball stadiums has taken us to some interesting places around the country. This time it took us to Texas in the middle of summer, haha. We visited Dallas, which is home to the Texas Rangers in nearby Arlington, and Houston, home of the Astros. We stayed in…
The first time they met, Nina really did not like Blake. She found him arrogant and borderline unbearable. It turns out he was just trying really hard to impress her, haha. Luckily they stayed friends, and everything turned around once they got to know each other. We met up a fun engagement session featuring Blake’s…
These blustery summer days in San Francisco don’t make for the most welcoming seaside outings, but they sometimes make for the most gorgeous wind-filled portraits! So it was with this engagement session at Sutro Baths with Marion and Jason. See a few favorites below. Anna Wu is a wedding and portrait photographer based in San…
May! A.k.a. wedding month, when we had our wine country celebrations. More on that at some later time, but here’s a look at the rest of the month in the Bay Area. Mom is in town! I took her to eat lobsters and to visit the Apple Park visitors center. They give you an iPad…
Parker is always ready to make anyone laugh, and when that someone is Amanda, the universe aligns, and all is right with the world. There is greater joy than Parker and Amanda laughing together. It has been an absolute delight to photograph these two. Their wedding day was plenty overcast with some sprinkles even coming…
April! A month of treasure hunts and low-key hangouts with friends. Let’s jump right in! A bike ride to Wise Sons at the Ferry Building Farmers Market, with a stop by the Patagonia in Fisherman’s Wharf, napa cabbage in tow. The Wolverine Way, as read by this newly minted Michigan fan. And our final destination:…
Hello March! We went to both Arizona and Wyoming in this month, but there were so many wonderful little gatherings around the Bay Area too. Let’s jump right in! Monthly accountability meeting, with some folks gathering in Oakland and the rest of us joining from the internet. Dinner and mahjong with the Garrisons, featuring some…
Jackson Hole has always been on Alex’s ski destinations bucket list, so for his birthday we hopped on a direct flight and landed straight in a national park. Jackson Hole is so named because the town of Jackson is surrounded by mountain ranges, including the Grand Tetons. Comically, even though we were in town for…
It takes a really incredible blend of persistence, commitment, and of course love to survive an international long-distance relationship through a pandemic, when you are each locked down in your country and completely unable to even visit one another. And that is exactly what E and J have done, between here and Australia. They are…
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…
Annsa and Arvind have been the most delightful couple to work with through the years. I have had the honor of photographing a series of portrait sessions for them, in lieu of what was originally planned to be their 2020 wedding. They didn’t end up having the party, but they have been wed now for…
Sharon and Andrew exude warmth and care for each other and for those around them, and their community also radiates that same love and care back at them. Though they had a large wedding, with 220 guests, many of whom were under the age of five, the whole celebration felt remarkably intimate. The entire day…
