Asha Tea House in Berkeley has long been one of my favorite tea spots, so I was excited to see that they opened a new location in San Francisco a few months ago. My friend Saira and I hopped over for a tea date one afternoon. Most orders at Asha are just handed over…
Packaging, packaging! Now is the perfect time of year to update and restock on all my packaging and collateral for upcoming wedding season. I tried out some new duplex business cards with a deep purple backing and gold foil + letterpress on the front. And I was gifted a new set of USB drives from USB…
The Presidio is one of my favorite places in San Francisco, not least because of all the gorgeous weddings and engagements that I’ve photographed there. Last weekend they hosted The Presidio Celebrations Showcase for the many venues located within the Presidio, and I was the official photographer on hand for the event. I had such a great time making…
I love the wave of cat cafes that seem to be opening all around the country (and the world). When my friend Saira asked if I wanted to check out Kit Tea in San Francisco, I jumped on it! To be honest, I’m more of a dog person, but I was still intrigued by the prospect…
On a lovely December day, I met up with my friend Saira for afternoon tea at Tal-y-Tara in the Richmond District of San Francisco. Tal-y-Tara is a unique combination of tea shop and polo shop– and it’s not just the decor. They actually sell plenty of stuff for all your equestrian needs. It was a fun, eclectic…
I’ve known how to knit and crochet since elementary school, and it’s often been a fun hobby to keep myself occupied in the winter. But about a year ago, I started to think it might be fun to turn this solitary activity into a club. So in February, I started it up: the Old Ladies’…
‘Tis the season for a nice cozy cup of tea! My friend Saira has the best tea-filled instagram @darjeelingdreams. We met up on a Friday afternoon for some tea at one of her favorite spots, Lovejoy’s. Love! Such cute mismatched tea wares. I loved Saira’s hazelnut tea, and my mango was great too. The perfect…
On a lovely October day, I gathered a couple of my friends for a little hike around San Francisco. We started at Lover’s Point in the Presidio and wandered our way over to Ocean Beach. So many gorgeous sights to see. Dan, me, Tiffany, and Paul. Move here soon, Tiffany! Sneaking in two photos from Mt….
Scenes from around town in October as various friends came to visit! The Mill with Michelle the day before Young & Jess’ wedding. Lester’s birthday dinner. Dim sum Sunday! Hanging out in the Mission. My new best friend, whom I named “sassafras.” I’ve already read so many books since I got it! Anna Wu is…
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…
Last weekend, I teamed up with Brianne of Brown Fox Calligraphy and Melanie of Hawthorn Flower Studio to offer our “Calligraphy and Centerpieces” workshop in San Francisco. We had a full class of ten awesome students. They first learned the basics of calligraphy for menus and escort cards and then each got to create a…
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…
