I love this family! I first photographed Raquel and Andy for their engagement session and their wedding over four years ago. They have since added two adorable little ones to their family, and when I made a brief trip to Atlanta last month, I got to meet and photograph the whole crew. Savvy blog readers might also…
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…
It was a fun day filled with sly Star Wars references set against beautiful California backdrops. Serena and Cliff share a love (some might call it an obsession) for Star Wars. Their dogs are named R2D2 and Leia. All the groomsmen wore Stormtrooper socks under their dapper gray suits. They even had a little light saber fight with their…
Maria is a young opera singer soon completing her Adler fellowship with the San Francisco Opera. Because she is building a new website, Maria wanted to refresh her old headshots and create some new portraits that would capture a bit of her personality too. I got to meet her at one of my bucket list…
Halfway through planning their big, expensive wedding, Sarah and Zach did what a lot of couples find themselves doing: they turned to each other and said, “let’s just elope instead.” Most couples probably don’t go through with the idea, but for Sarah and Zach, it quickly became reality. With their families’ blessings, they flew from their home in Florida…

Oh no! On their way to the ceremony, Jessica and Young got swept away into a portal and became hostages of a wizard who hates love. In order to rescue them, their friends and family would need to solve a series of puzzles, prove their love for the couple, and defeat the wizard’s spell! So began this very…
Sabrina and Brian first met when they were in Boston and New York, and for past year, they both lived on the Upper West Side together until they got engaged and decided to make the move out to California. It was so much fun to go from meeting with them in San Francisco to roaming around NYC…
It was such a special treat to return to this beautiful Sunol home and photograph my second wedding there. My first wedding at the house was for Bryna’s brother Ryan in 2011. This time, I got to meet and work with Bryna and her groom Andrew. Bryna and Andrew have been together for twelve years, and over half of that was…
Meet Young and Jessica. I’ve known Young since 1999, when he was still in his “yellow phase” in high school. When I first met Jessica, she was on a hip-hop dance crew, and she would later join an eco-friendly clothing startup as employee number three. Young now fronts his own band, writes for a denim…
Stephanie and Ian both went to the University of California in Berkeley, but that’s not where they met. It was years later, at the Berkeley alumni bar in New York City, that they met while watching a Cal football game. They ended up living in New York City and in Washington, DC together for several years,…
They were friends for two years, with Dora refusing to give in to any of Ken’s hopeful advances toward her. It wasn’t until the day that he had decided to give up that Dora had a change of heart. She saw this man who had so patiently cared for her and suddenly realized she couldn’t…
