Victoria, British Columbia | Butchart Gardens
We awoke promptly at six in the morning and drove north from our quick overnight in Seattle up to Anacortes, Washington. We drove the car straight onto a boat– a strange sensation if you’ve never done it before– and we were ferried through picturesque islands toward Victoria, British Columbia. Victoria is the capitol city of British…

Bud Vase Workshop | Heath Ceramics Open Studios
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…

Fancy Times in Las Vegas
I didn’t gamble or go clubbing or even do much shopping, but I did enjoy a very fancy hotel stay and lots of delicious meals during my time in Vegas. A bit unconventional perhaps, but since Jesse was there for a work conference, I simply tagged along for the week! It also kicked off our little West Coast…

Diana & Chris | B. Patisserie | San Francisco Engagement Photography
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…

Katherine & Josh | Muir Woods | Bay Area Engagement Photography
There’s a special magic to walking amidst the redwoods at 6pm on a Thursday. The park is almost empty, quiet but for the sounds of nature that surround you. It was the perfect setting to Katherine and Josh’s engagement session. And though dogs aren’t allowed in Muir Woods itself, their pup Scout got to join…

Cristin & Michael | San Francisco Engagement Photography
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! Hair & Makeup: Julianne, Prettyologie Anna Wu…

Meghana & Aseem | Jacuzzi Family Winery | Sonoma Engagement Party Photography
The party was beautifully arranged– the perfect balance of a casual gathering and an elegant reception. Meghana and Aseem gathered with some of their closest family and friends at the Jacuzzi Family Winery in Sonoma, not quite for their wedding yet, but for their engagement party. It was a wonderful California celebration in advance of their Denver wedding later…

Afternoon Tea at Laduree & Springtime around NYC
A month after my last trip to New York City, I was back again in May to photograph a lovely wedding and to enjoy more springtime adventures. We kick off the post with afternoon tea at Laduree in Soho! The famous Laduree is undeniably cute, but the already-expensive macarons ($2.85 I believe) jump to $3.15…

Neil & Tom | New York City | Same Sex Wedding Photography
After twenty-three years, they were finally wed. For most of the day, a light and excited happiness permeated everyone’s spirits. I was immediately welcomed by Neil and Tom as we headed to Central Park, and I was warmly introduced to some of their closest friends. The wedding would be a small, intimate gathering and a lunch reception, so it felt…
