For Memorial Day weekend, Alex planned us a wonderful road trip through Anderson Valley and over to the Mendocino Coast. We have gone on countless road trips all across California, especially in the last couple years, but this trip was extra special! We started with a visit to the town of Sonoma, happening upon this…
Healdsburg is one of our favorite places to visit. Since Alex and I are members at Reeve, we visit at least quarterly to go pick up our wines. Since Healdsburg is only about an hour and a half north of San Francisco, we usually do it as just a day trip. But this time, we…
On the first of the new year, Alex and I drove down to Central California to meet up with our friends Cassie and Michael for a little getaway in Paso Robles. We found this little airbnb on a farm property and spent a couple days relaxing, puzzling, cooking, and visiting a couple nearby wineries. Home…
Alex and I are lucky enough to have not only our primary residence in San Francisco but also a second home in Cupertino, which is really his parents’ property from when he went to school here. We have really enjoyed not only just the privilege of having two homes, but also the joy of both…
It’s time to recap May in the Bay! I was around California for most of the month, except my one week in Chicago, so plenty of adventures were had. We start with our Amber Collective planning meeting, where we invited people to help us brainstorm the next event. You can see how it came together…
Sherry and David first met over coffee, not as a date but because Sherry was a prospective student for Kellogg and David had just finished his degree there. Well, they hit it off, and now that Sherry has also graduated from Kellogg, they’re starting their next chapter together here in California. We met up in…

We met up in Yountville and visited a couple different spots for this sunny evening of portraits. See some highlights below! We kick it off with the beautiful vineyards at Domaine Chandon. After some portraits around Domaine Chandon, we…
I always love photographing surprise proposals, but this one was an especially fun treat, as the proposal was for my good friend Tiffany. She has long known that she wanted to marry Greg, and she has long said that she would want me there to photograph the proposal. Tiffany and I both travel a lot, so we actually share…
Victoria and Vaughn are an absolute delight to be around. Victoria radiates an infectious enthusiasm, and her expressions carry across entire fields, while Vaughn has the kindest smile with a touch of mischief in his eyes. They first met seven years ago at work and built a friendship over lunch chats and work projects where they talked about…
Christine and Yang met in a bar on a snowy night in Boston. After a few dances together, they exchanged numbers and the courtship began. Their first date followed soon after, when a one-hour coffee turned into a six-hour date. They had a natural chemistry, and they would soon find themselves falling for each other: Yang…
Mawwage! Mawwage is wot bwings us togeder today. Yes, the ceremony from The Princess Bride. A (Jewish) friend dressed in full Catholic bishop regalia kicked off the wedding with his hilarious rendition of the ceremony, performed with a straight face all the way through. This happened after the bride walked down the aisle with a…
They first met at business school in Philadelphia, where they founded a startup together, and they later moved to California, the land of startups, where Jenny joined the team at Pebble and Adam joined Google. The two of them were full of smiles on their wedding day. The lovely Buena Vista Winery served as a perfect…
