I am thrilled to share images from Katherine and Kaman’s wedding in San Francisco City Hall. We caught a rare day where the hall was mostly empty, and it allowed us to get some extra special shots showcasing the beautiful architecture of the building. See some of my favorites below! These two were wed with…
November! What a joyful month filled with wonderful gatherings with different groups of friends and the warmest sense of community. We start with a peek inside Brothers and Sisters, an adorable flower shop in Oakland. The Aesthetic Union, a shop next door to Tartine Manufactory. Sun and Elliot and their new baby boy visit San…
What a joy to meet up with the Bermudez family for a new round of holiday portraits! You might recognize them from their beautiful holiday cards last year, but back then, the littlest member of the family was still in Shannon’s belly. Well, now they’re a family of four! And since they’re about to embark…
Say hello to the Lynch family! The last time we saw them was down in San Jose a year and a half ago, and goodness, the boys have gone through a growth spurt since. Also, they’ve welcomed their new black lab puppy to the family too. Her name is Pepper, she’s full of energy, and the whole…
It’s been a year since we last followed along with these two as they were engaged on their surprise-filled proposal day! And now we’re back with Tiffany and Greg’s formal engagement session. They chose the Presidio as their backdrop and were rewarded a sun-drenched afternoon as we roamed around on the edge of San Francisco….
The tradition continues! Every year, we celebrate Shau-ru & Ed’s wedding anniversary with a wonderful portrait session. It’s been a tradition for six years running. This year, they’re getting ready to welcome a new member to the family! Congratulations, Shau-ru & Ed! Can’t wait to see what the next year might hold. Anna Wu is a…
I was in town for ten days of the tenth month this year! And in that time, I packed in some wonderful gatherings with friends, one last walking tour, and another craft day! We kick it off with a wonderful low-country boil at Cassie and Michael’s place. Shrimp! Sausages! Corn! Love it all and ate…
Amy and Terrence found each other serendipitously and unexpectedly, online, of course. It had been a difficult period in Amy’s life, but she suddenly found herself in a tumble of novel-length messages back and forth with this interesting, funny, supportive new man. They found endless similarities with each other, becoming more and more convinced they’re…
I was actually in town for the entire month of September! And I have the photos to show for it in this very packed post! Continuing previous themes, I went on a bunch of Oakland walking tours, held a craft day, attended a beautiful wedding ceremony, and checked out a bunch of museums and gardens. Let’s jump…
Kelly and Matt first met in business school, with both of them a bit shy at first and reluctant to lock in to a relationship. But they quickly shed their commitment-phobic ways when they found how much better life is with each other. After a few years of dating and year and a half of a bicoastal long…
Rachel and Rodney are two peas in a pod, delighted by the coincidence of sharing the same initials and last name and being born a day apart. They’re best friends who have tried basically every Livingsocial/Groupon activity possible, and they love San Francisco, which we well embraced in our shoot along the Embarcadero. See a…
On a gorgeous day in San Francisco, I met up with Alice and Mike for their engagement session. We started in Golden Gate Park and ended over at Sutro Baths, where we enjoyed the seaside breeze with these two, perfectly comfortable with each other and enveloped by golden hour. 0 Anna Wu is a wedding and…
