We almost postponed this session due to rain all week, but it held off and we were rewarded with a beautiful golden hour and even a rainbow! It was such an honor to be reunited with Allie and David, my wedding clients from a few years ago, to document this new chapter of their lives…
Chariya and Dimartin both grew up in the Bay Area, loosely connected to each other through their Cambodian families. It was years before they connected more directly and began a chat conversation that never ended. Though they now live together in Los Angeles, they opted to return to San Francsico for a beautiful City Hall…
Olivia and Alex first met in med school before taking their relationship long distance while Olivia completed school in Pennsylvania and Alex began his residency in North Carolina. After two years, they were reunited and now live together in Durham. Over the holidays, they traveled back to the Bay Area to visit Olivia’s family, and…
Anna and Tim met nearly a decade ago as engineering students at Purdue, their paths crossing many times before they ever struck up a relationship, right at the end of their senior year. After graduation, they both found themselves in Anna’s home state of Texas, and they settled into the trenches while Tim completed his…
We are very lucky here in California to have nine National Parks within the state. And I am very lucky to have now visited all of them. The last one on the list was Death Valley. In November we packed up the Jeep and hit the road for three nights of camping in the park….
Anna and Tim’s love story has taken them all over, from the Midwest where they met to Anna’s home state of Texas, and now to Tim’s home state of California. On a beautiful afternoon, we headed up to Mt. Tam for their engagement session. A lovely way to embrace their new home and this next…
Jeri and Dan were originally planning for a big wedding in 2020, but of course, things shifted a little bit. They decided to move the big party to 2021 and were still able to have a wedding on the original date– just smaller. But as life continued on, and with them buying a new house,…
It was so lovely to meet the Panjwani Family for this San Francisco portrait session. Grandpa and Grandma had just arrived the night before, and they were joined by the two girls, the older of of whom was a very cooperative model for the camera and the younger who is a pandemic baby and (understandably)…
This was such a fun session. My returning clients, the NKK family, was joined this year by Jen’s sister’s family, the Aus. The two three-year-old cousins clearly adore each other and had the best time running around this park. See a few favorites below! Anna Wu is a wedding and portrait photographer based in San…
For the last leg of our Baseball, Beer, and Bourbon tour, we drove on from Louisville to Lexington. But on the way, we visited a couple of bourbon distilleries. First, Castle and Key in Frankfort. This is a historic distillery with a castle, as well as a springhouse in the shape of a key, hence…
Having already made it through over a year of pandemic postponements for this wedding, an atmospheric river of earlier-than-usual rain wasn’t going to put a damper on this wedding day. The original 2020 plan was for a church wedding followed by a Chinese banquet, but that was reimagined into a beautiful little ceremony in the…
From Cincinnati, Ohio, Alex and I planned an offshoot road trip just across the river and into Kentucky. It was, after all, the “bourbon” offshoot of our Baseball, Beer and Bourbon tour. We spent one night in Louisville and one night in Lexington, and we visited a couple little towns and distilleries between too. First…
