It’s time for the September recap! We began the month with our accountability meeting, this time at Cassie’s house. With Do-Hee joining online. Dinner with Alex at Nari in Japantown.

Jennifer & Gary | Berkeley Wedding Photography
It’s wild to think that two whole years have passed since I last photographed Jennifer and Gary for their engagement session up in Seattle. And yet, given the circumstances of the past two years, it’s hardly surprising. These two have been waiting patiently, closely monitoring public health guidelines, and they have had to reschedule twice….
