We continue to day two of my Swiss adventures! From Lucern I took the train over to Bern. Yes, this is a tiny bit out of sequence since it makes a neater loop to go Zurich – Lucern – Alps – Bern – Zurich, but due to some logistical constraints I decided to still visit…
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,…
Leslie and Patrick were both at a friend’s holiday party in San Francisco back in 2008. Their eyes met from across the room. Patrick was busy eating gingerbread cookies when Leslie and her friend approached. Leslie described living in Oakland, and Patrick described being a waffle connoisseur. They got waffles in Oakland together and the…
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…
I met J & D for their engagement session on a blustery day when Karl the Fog was out in full force. But they were such good sports, and they braved the wind for these beautiful portraits at Baker Beach and Crissy Field, a classic San Francisco session. See a few of my favorites below:…
I get to share a beautiful wedding album today! This is Patty and David’s heirloom book we created for their Paicines Ranch wedding. They chose a grey silk cover, timeless and elegant. I love starting on a full spread. This one features one of the many gorgeous portraits we took just before sunset. Here’s a…
Let’s take a look back at March, even though it’s bittersweet because it’s filled with farewells to our friend Brianne! We kick it off with our Office of Accountability meeting, Bri’s last one before moving to Singapore. Yifan came to visit from Portland– twice! Here’s our celebration dinner after having our first-ever Amber Collective meeting! I…
For the second year in a row, I headed to Taipei in February. Growing up, I only visited my parents’ homeland once every several years, so making it an annual trip is a recent development. With winter being the slow season for work and with plane tickets being so reasonable, I figured I should seize…
I’m thrilled to share our second meetup for the Amber Collective, which was a night at the museum! At the end of March, we gathered at the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art for a night of connection and inspiration. As with our first gathering, we were intentional with our event, with a friendly team…
Allison and Sean knew they wanted a true elopement, to pick up from their lives in Florida and to head somewhere else to tie the knot, no other people, no other fuss. And so they chose San Francisco City Hall, this most beautiful of venues, to do so. They had the loveliest of officiants, they…
Singapore! I wanted to take a little trip with my mom, and Singapore seemed like the perfect choice. We could easily get there from Taiwan since we were already planning to go there in February, and it’s a safe, easily accessible, English and Chinese-speaking country. Plus, with the runaway success of Crazy Rich Asians, Singapore…
