Portlandia

Oh, Portland. Your rain and your sun. Your greens and your blues. Your outrageously delicious heart-attack food. Your over-the-top hipsterness. You’re quite the charming little town. My friend Jiongyi and I drove down to Portland for just a couple days after our trip to Seattle. And as long-time readers and friends may remember, I did…

Summertime Seattle

I have a lovely time in Seattle every time I visit, and this July’s trip was no exception. I was in town to photograph Cami & Eric’s beautiful Snoqualmie Ridge wedding, but of course I stayed a few extra days, and we even threw in a trip to Portland afterward. I was traveling with my friend…

Jenny & Kevin’s First Anniversary Album

I am completely in love with these new wedding albums I’ve just added to my product offerings! The leather and the silk covers are absolutely luxurious, and I am especially smitten with the debossing on the cover. It’s the perfect way to personalize your album with a completely custom imprint. Jenny and Kevin were the…

Libby & Alan | Pavilion By the Bay | Treasure Island, San Francisco Wedding Photography

They laugh about it now, how funny it is that they met at a terrible bar in San Francisco and they simply could not have imagined that life would bring them together like this in the end. But it has, and beautifully. He fell for her brains and beauty as she fell for his kind…

Emilie & Marcus | Woodside, California Engagement Photography

We kicked things off with a drink at one of their favorite brunch spots, Buck’s. Tucked away in town of Woodside, Buck’s is a warm, cozy joint– the perfect place to start off an adorable engagement session. The shoot was filled with sweetness and laughter, and I had so much fun with Emilie and Marcus roaming…

Peggy & Jay | Wildwood Acres Resort | Lafayette Wedding Photography

Peggy is kind, sweet, and down to earth– your typical girl next door in every way, especially, as Jay found, in the literal way. She lived just down the hall from Jay, and what started as a friendship between neighbors quickly developed into a love between soulmates. It is such a delight to be around…

Michelle & David | Berkeley City Club | California Wedding Photography

Theirs is a true storybook romance.  As they tell it, it was the very first day of college when David spotted Michelle sitting in the second row of their 8AM political science class and, emboldened by new school excitement, sat down next to her.  He would later claim this was the best decision of his life….

Missing TAF

Taiwanese American Foundation (TAF) is a summer camp that I have attended almost every year since the age of ten. It’s just one week, 200 Taiwanese American youth,  and a small college campus in North Manchester Indiana. But of course, it provides an endless supply of life-changing experiences, memories, and relationships. In countless ways, TAF has shaped…
