I am in love with all these gorgeous album covers lately! Angie and Randy opted for a beautiful gunmetal grey leather, and of course we had their names debossed with custom calligraphy by Brown Fox Calligraphy. It came out beautifully, and it all goes elegantly with the photos inside! Let’s take a closer look at…
I absolutely loved designing Shelley and Anthony’s wedding album. Not only were they wonderful to work with, but this was also the first time we got to work with Brown Fox Calligraphy on the cover debossing. Brianne hand-calligraphed their names, and we had the custom design imprinted with rose gold foil. So beautiful! Shelley and…
Here’s a little glimpse of my June in the Bay: a craft night, a victory parade, a garden party, and a pile of rugs! First up, craft night at Do-Hee’s studio (which has since been sold, so she’s looking for a new space!) We all brought our own crafts to work on. Nicole’s was macrame! Kayla…
Theirs was a love story already eight years in the making by the time we reached the afternoon of July first, 2017. Eight years since they first met at the library in college, and they each felt that first spark and yet took months to acknowledge it fully and start their lives together. They supported each…
I absolutely adore photographing surprise proposals. And what better place for a proposal than in front of the iconic blue door at The French Laundry in Yountville, California? I was excited to work with Thomas on this surprise for his girlfriend Jenny. I’ll let them tell the story from here! From Thomas: Jenny and I are both…
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…
They met on a school trip to Argentina before their first year at Michigan for business school, and it wasn’t too long after that before they became inseparable, and they continued traveling the world together. Yao and Alan were wed at San Francisco City Hall, and we explored the building afterwards for some lovely portraits…
I am absolutely in love with the new luxe linen covers now available for my clients’ wedding albums. With these luxe linens comes the option for metallic debossing on the cover, which was perfectly in keeping with Alice and Arthur’s wedding style. Their covers are the light grey “frost” luxe linen with gold foil for the…
There’s an incredible depth of sincerity when Jason talks about Karena. They met in that most traditional way: on a dating app, and while that may have made it seem like any other casual millennial relationship at first, Jason quickly wised up to what a special woman Karena was. It wasn’t just her beauty, but her incredible…
Flowerland is truly as it sounds, a wonderland filled with plants of all kinds, and all adorably presented. It’s located in Albany, near Berkeley, and I headed there with my friend Pam for a mid-week watercolor date. This leaf already looks like real-life watercolors. Pam and I each picked a plant to bring over to…
Soon after I returned from Amsterdam, I headed three hours north of San Francisco for a little overnight retreat with some friends. My friend Eileen is a photographer and a scout for Hipcamp, which is kind of like Airbnb but for campsites and outdoor-oriented stays. So she invited a group of us along to turn her…
I am happy to share Pauline and Justin’s wedding album today. We debossed the cover with their names and wedding date, and Pauline and Justin selected the ‘silver moon’ silk cover, which is one of the most popular choices. Perfect for a neutral color and a little sheen and texture. These are just a fraction of the…
