The best weddings have everyone both laughing and crying, and this was indeed the best. Victoria and Nick began their wedding celebrations by inviting both their families to stay with them in a lovely little castle in Mill Valley for the weekend. It was the perfect way to spend some quality time together, and it…
I love the windswept motion captured in these engagement photos, a fitting tribute to the whirlwind romance that took hold of Angela and Lewis when they were supposed to be meeting for a group hike and instead found themselves enjoying a surprise first date, just the two of them, walking and talking across the entire…
Another monthly recap, a year later. Lots of dining out and last times going places as a couple before we added the third to our trio! Liholiho with Cindy & Vince Their Baked Hawaii, a tasty play on the Baked Alaska. Checking out Draymond Green’s new restaurant Meski A visit to our favorite ayce hotpot,…
Karen and Hadi did not let the rain stop them from some beautiful wedding day portraits at Sutro Baths before their City Hall ceremony. I love these misty, romantic moments against the epic backdrop of the sea. Later, we regrouped inside the beautiful building of San Francisco City Hall for an intimate ceremony with just…
Hello, May of last year! It was a busy month of travels and gatherings, but we start the at-home adventures with Taiwan Day at the SF Giants. Cute Taiwan bear bobbleheads this year! We had a wonderful personal block of Taiwanese Americans joining us for the annual night out. The ‘popcorn chicken’ looked like donut…
We had a lovely little fruit-themed baby shower on Mother’s Day last year. Of course it involved lots of arts & crafts, and I even made people do some homework for baby. A very heartfelt thank you to everyone who came and participated in welcoming baby into our community! Thank you to Courtney and Steph…
This was such a wonderful surprise proposal! A lot of proposal clients come to me without a fully formed plan, and that’s totally fine, because I am happy to help them figure out the details. Brandon initially picked a date and time for his proposal about a month out. But as we started chatting, it…
It was so lovely to meet up with my friend and fellow photographer Lindsey while I was down in LA last year. We all headed to Santa Monica Beach, where she photographed my family, and I photographed hers. Such a beautiful bunch, and it was so wonderful to see them all again. Anna Wu is…
At home in the month of April. Starting it off with a virtual accountability meeting. Matt Chapman bobblehead day with the Giants. Golden State 5k! I walked most of it, but I was proud to do it at all as I was starting my third trimester. Brunch at Rabbit Hole. And stroller shopping with my…
Hello, March! Let’s get right into it. First, a virtual Office of Accountability meeting. I cannot remember why we were laughing. I borrowed a tiny Sony RX100 V camera through my Sony Pro membership and used it all month. It’s a pocked-sized point and shoot, but I liked that it still had a wide aperture….
I planned a little gender reveal for a small group of friends and family, but especially for Alex. He had kept the gender a surprise for himself for the first part of the pregnancy, even though I already knew. So I thought about what would be fun for Alex, and I decided to go with…
I’m back on the monthly recaps! We spent most of January in Asia, so I’m picking up with a combined post on both January and February in the Bay. We definitely returned from Asia with three more bags than we left with! And our first meal back was… Chipotle? Videochat catch-ups We also came back…
