    Megan & Hari | Luxe Linen Wedding Album with Gold Foil

    I absolutely love this beautiful set of wedding albums we designed for Megan and Hari’s backyard wedding. They chose a dark green ‘forest’ luxe linen and a script design for their names stamped in gold on the cover. Inside, some clean and classic layouts that allow their wedding images to shine.

    NYC in 2021

    Stealth trip! Alex and I hopped on a plane to NYC in early December and posted nothing about it publicly (at least not right away), because I was on a secret mission to surprise Whitney on the Brooklyn Bridge for her proposal! The surprise was a success, and we got to stay a few extra…

    Chariya & Dimartin | San Francisco City Hall Wedding

    Chariya and Dimartin both grew up in the Bay Area, loosely connected to each other through their Cambodian families. It was years before they connected more directly and began a chat conversation that never ended.
