Such a classically beautiful wedding! Jenny and Jun were wed at the Ritz Carlton Half Moon Bay. These two have known each other since childhood and have been classmates the whole way through, from middle school in China all the way through graduate school at Stanford. And now they finally got to tie the knot…
I love seeing a wedding transformed into this final, tangible form. An heirloom album is meant to be held and viewed and appreciated for generations. Having thousands of images in the cloud is phenomenal but just doesn’t evoke the same feeling as holding one of these albums. We created a beautiful set of albums encased…
August! Begins with a virtual Office of Accountability meeting. With babies! Book club, currently discussing Four Thousand Weeks (highly recommend). Flying back from my Midwest tour, still knitting puffs. A bike ride to the Ferry Building Farmers Market Summer bbq party at Steph’s Rainbow French manicure, a month later. Still looking great. Plus, a free…
To complete our first of two Midwest tours this summer, I went to Cincinnati for a week to visit my mom. We didn’t have much on the itinerary other than regular suburb destinations like the mall and various grocery stores, and one quick trip downtown. But I am so grateful to have gotten this chance…
Baby Dillon wins the cake smash! She is the mayor of cake town, generously bestowing fistfuls of cake to her mom, dad, sister, and anyone who comes within arm’s reach. I had the absolute pleasure of documenting this little one’s first birthday party, held at Spark Social in Mission Bay. Glimpse the whole adorable sequence…
Westin is ONE! And of course his mom dreamed up the cutest birthday party to celebrate the occasion. Westy loves visiting the farmers market and loves his fruits and veggies (especially avocados). So his parents built him his very own farm stand in the back yard, plus a flower stand for their pup Roux. All…
Tina and Bryan first met eight years ago. Their first date took them all around Land’s End on a chat and a walk that basically never ended. For their wedding day, they chose to be married at Hakone Gardens in Saratoga, a nod to their mutual love of Japan. They also paid tribute to Bryan’s…
It has been nine years since I photographed Caterina & John for their engagement session and their wedding. I am so delighted to see them again, this time with their daughter, for a family session. We roamed around the San Francisco Botanical Garden in Golden Gate Park for these beautiful portraits, a little capture of…
After their beautiful morning ceremony and an afternoon break, Lakshmi and Jaxon gathered again with friends and family for their wedding reception amidst the redwoods of Deer Park Villa in Fairfax. With heartfelt toasts and a surprise dance performance by the groom and his friends, we all laughed, cried, and danced the night away. Unbeknownst…
Lakshmi and Jaxon met in Denver, though they both hail from the San Francisco Bay Area. To meet Lakshmi is to be instantly won over by her, as Jaxon’s own friends will tell you. (We might like her more than you now, they confess). She is the warm-hearted doctor with a big laugh and he…
