Visiting Yosemite During the Pandemic
I consider myself incredibly lucky for having ever visited Yosemite, let alone getting to visit twice within this very strange year, 2020. We originally had a campsite reservation for May, but of course the pandemic happened, and the park closed. Luckily, Alex went ahead and made new arrangements to visit later. Reservations are now required…

Lightning Round | August, 2020
Oh, how quickly things change. The hallmark of August was my first-ever backpacking trip, which just happened to coincide with the very unexpected and extreme lightning storms that subsequently lit California on fire. Well, I’m glad to report that we are totally fine. But here’s a look through another wild month of 2020: Garden bounty…

Christine & Bobby | Wedding Album
Every wedding album is a bit of a time capsule, but it feels extra special to be able to look back at Christine and Bobby’s wedding, which happened in 2020 before the pandemic. Mere months ago, we were still able to have full, un-distanced weddings! What a world. I’m so glad these two were able…

Priyanka & Karthik | Wedding Album
I love how this suite of wedding albums turned out for Priyanka and Karthik’s mult-day Indian wedding. They opted for a medium album with custom calligraphy on the cover, as well as a small album with the standard font and a few mini albums as well, all clad in a beautiful light green luxe linen….

Jeri & Dan | San Jose Engagement Photography
It was so lovely to see my friends Jeri and Dan for their engagement session. These days it feels like a surprise when anything actually goes according to plan, and this was a date that we had scheduled months and months in advance. Luckily, it was a beautiful, smoke-free day, and the San Jose Municipal…

Kwok Family | Berkeley Family Portraits
I am so honored to be able to document this family through the years! I began photographing Joyce and Keven seven years ago for their engagement and wedding, and we’ve since added two little ones — and all their grandparents — to the mix. We had a socially distanced session over in the Berkeley Marina,…

Pre & Nav | Pigeon Point Lighthouse Engagement
It was so fun to photograph this engagement-turned-surprise-proposal for Pre and Nav. Earlier this year, Nav asked Pre to marry him, and she joyfully said yes. It was a beautiful, if low-key proposal, given the circumstances of the pandemic. As they planned for their engagement portraits with me, Nav decided that he would love to…

Socially Distanced | July, 2020
I usually don’t get around to posting these recaps until the end of the following month, which is quite unfortunate, because 2020 is quickly outpacing my ability to remember what these past realities were like. But here goes, a look back to July, a month in which we took four different outdoor excursions around California…

Evangel & Edwin | Wedding Album
I love revisiting a wedding day in the form of a beautiful wedding album. We captured Evangel and Edwin’s wedding story in this small, 8″ album covered with a champagne fabric. Take a little peek inside at some of our favorite images from their Casa Real celebration! Anna Wu is a wedding photographer based in…
