    Los Angeles | June, 2017

We basically ate all weekend, lots and lots of great Taiwanese food. See below! Pre-wedding drinks with Jason. Alhambra Farmer’s Market Taiwanese breakfast! So…

    They met on a school trip to Argentina before their first year at Michigan for business school, and it wasn’t too long after that before they became inseparable, and they continued traveling the world together.

    Alice & Arthur | Frost & Gold Wedding Album

    I am absolutely in love with the new luxe linen covers now available for my clients’ wedding albums. With these luxe linens comes the option for metallic debossing on the cover, which was perfectly in keeping with Alice and Arthur’s wedding style. Their covers are the light grey “frost” luxe linen with gold foil for the…

    Karena & Jason | Grand Park | Downtown Los Angeles Wedding Photography

    There’s an incredible depth of sincerity when Jason talks about Karena. They met in that most traditional way: on a dating app, and while that may have made it seem like any other casual millennial relationship at first, Jason quickly wised up to what a special woman Karena was. It wasn’t just her beauty, but her incredible…

It’s located in Albany, near Berkeley, and I headed there with my friend Pam for a mid-week watercolor date. This leaf already looks like real-life watercolors. Pam and I each picked a plant to bring over to…

  • Tulips in Holland

    Tulips in Holland

    Tulips galore! Fuzzy tulips, striped tulips, huge dinner plate-sized tulips, and tulips masquerading as peonies. We purposely timed our visit to Holland with the end of April to catch all the tulips in bloom. It was an easy day trip from Amsterdam to visit the gardens at Keukenhof and the surrounding fields. Keukenhof is only open two…
