We opened the second half of 2014 with a lovely week in the Bay Area when Jesse came to visit. Basically, we ate our way around the Bay and enjoyed some Fourth of July fireworks too. We got to use the remainder of a gift certificate I had to Pizzaiolo in Oakland. And them some ice…
Since the beginning of 2014, I have been working on my year-long personal project, Art for Art. Once a month, I find a fellow photographer whose work I admire, and I photograph them; they photograph me. View the full set of previous shoots in the series here: Art for Art. In June, I met up with Rosa…
Friends of this blog may remember Anika and Vijay from their adorable proposal, which I captured while hiding behind a couch, or from their epic wedding in India! Well, they’re back again for another round of photos. While their wedding in India was incredible, it wasn’t quite legally binding for California, so we got together…
Kevin reached out to me after finding my wedding work online. He and his family were visiting from Chicago, and they would seize the moment to capture some adorable family portraits with their 6-month-old boy. We walked a nice little loop around Stow Lake in Golden Gate Park, and it was a super cute session…
I met Grace and Andy at Crissy Field in San Francisco for their engagement session, and they also brought along their two fur-kids: Tina and Bailey. They dashed around rambunctiously and added extra spice to Grace’s beautiful, unstoppable laughs and Andy’s good-natured smiles as we adventured our way through to the end of the shoot…

Over Mother’s Day weekend, my friend Tiffany and I got to check out Heath Ceramics’ open studios event by participating in a workshop at the San Francisco store. We got to learn about their bud vases and try our hands at pouring one from a mold and also glazing one to keep. It was tons of fun…
They met over five years ago with a hearty dose of serendipity and the willingness to go the extra mile for each other, literally. She was living in Sacramento and he was in San Jose, two and a half hours away, but they met online, and he made the five-hour round trip journey to meet…
Standing at Land’s End, where San Francisco meets the Pacific Ocean, they braced themselves against the whipping of the wind. Holding each other close, they carved out their own little space together. I love these two and their gorgeous two-part engagement session. Can’t wait for the wedding later this year!

My friend Cynthia is an incredibly talented musician and all-around creative. We got together at Hotel Rex in San Francisco’s Union Square for some glamorous portraits to help promote her new jazz solo show. With a mix of stage photos and some sultry rooftop shots, I love the look and feel we were able to…
Welcome to my newest personal project, a series of “mood shoots.” For these shoots, I wanted to explore a certain look and feel in my portraiture, working with light and shadow, styling, and directing. As with all my personal projects, I just sort of dream up these ideas and form a vision in my mind, and…

View the full writeup on Nikki’s blog here: Akula Kreative | Anna Wu Photography, and glimpse some of…
