This is the second part of many in my journey through New Zealand and Australia. We pick up on Day 3 of our time in South Island, and the beautiful scenery continues. After lunch in Queenstown, we drove up to Wanaka (rhymes with Hannukah), where we would stay that night. We opted for a short…
New Zealand’s South Island is incredibly scenic. It’s the kind of setting that lends itself to descriptions like ‘awe-inspiring,’ ‘spectacular,’ ‘resplendent.’ It’s almost too much to take in when you’re actually there, when every turn reveals a different, equally impressive landscape. Now, in hindsight, having placed it in context with the rest of my three-week trip through New…

The San Francisco Museum of Modern Art is back after a three-year renovation, and it’s beautiful. The museum opens to the public this Saturday, May 14, but I couldn’t wait so I signed up for membership and have already visited the museum twice in the last two weeks during member previews! Below are just a few glimpses…
Back in March, right after I had gotten back from New Zealand and Australia (which I have yet to blog), I got to join my friend Nancy for a day of wine tasting in Healdsburg in celebration of her birthday. It was such a lovely way to return to California. See some of the beautiful…
This cozy little cafe is one of my new favorite tea spots in the Bay Area. Located on San Pablo Ave. in Berkeley, Far Leaves Tea serves traditional Asian teas in a quiet setting. It can be a little confusing to enter the space at first; they seem to have quite a loyal following of…
I never particularly loved museums growing up. That’s not to say I didn’t still find myself in a fair share of them, but I would rarely select a museum over another activity or just wandering a city. It’s only in the last couple years that I’ve found myself drawn to these places. I think especially in…

Vermont was the perfect weekend getaway to kick off the new year. We did intend to go skiing initially, but the poor snow conditions meant we skipped the slopes and stuck to the cozy cottage and all the small-town cheese and maple syrup shops. Anna Wu is a wedding and portrait photographer based in San…

The Presidio is one of my favorite places in San Francisco, not least because of all the gorgeous weddings and engagements that I’ve photographed there. Last weekend they hosted The Presidio Celebrations Showcase for the many venues located within the Presidio, and I was the official photographer on hand for the event. I had such a great time making…
