Dora & Ken | San Francisco Engagement Photography
“I fell in love like you fall asleep: slowly, then all at once.” The quote from The Fault in Our Stars perfectly describes how Dora fell for Ken. It took two years of friendship before they began dating, but once they did, everything came together perfectly. And one day on a pier just behind Coqueta restaurant in…

Lazy Bear | San Francisco’s Favorite Popup Goes Brick & Mortar
For a long time, Lazy Bear was an underground pop-up, delighting diners who were in the know with their communal dinner parties. In the last few weeks, it went from underground to brick and mortar. Reservations were of course a scramble, compounded by the fact that they went with Alinea’s ticketing system (nonrefundable, like concert tickets)….

San Francisco in October
For Jesse’s October visit to San Francisco, I got to do two tourists’ staples that I have still not managed to do in the six years that I’ve lived here: ride bikes across the Golden Gate Bridge and take the ferry out to Alcatraz Island. We’ll save Alcatraz for another post, but here’s our bike…

Katherine & Josh | Los Altos History Museum Wedding
Katherine and Josh tied the knot as their friends and family looked on. And as they smiled and wiped away tears, an insistent whimper came from the back of the ceremony. There, behind all the rows of chairs, was Scout, their corgi pup who, having been left out of the center of attention, decided it…

Gem & Michael | Stinson Beach Engagement Photography
Gem and Michael’s engagement session was a blend of all their favorite things: the ocean, the outdoors, dancing, a bit of rock climbing, and of course, each other. We met at Stinson Beach and had the loveliest time playing around against the cadence of the waves. See some favorites below: Anna Wu is a wedding…

A series of crazy coincidences conspired to set the scene on a beautifully sunny day in Napa for these two to finally meet one another. Unbeknownst to them, they had already had a few missed connections. But once they met, it was as if everything flowed to make up for the lost time. And what better way…
