A city built on water. Venice is a maze of canals and winding little alleys that meet at all sorts of odd angles. It’s absolutely beautiful with its plaster and brick buildings that seem to be on the verge of falling apart. Of course, instead of being a small, charming town, it’s become overrun with tourists and…
We were wandering the delightful little streets of Aix (pronounced much like “ex”), exploring the town before it was time for dinner, when we came upon a small courtyard to our right. It looked like some sort of small festival or event was going on inside. As we peered in, clearly wondering what it could…
Here we go again with another lovely set of doors– this time from Aix en Provence in the South of France. I especially love how many of these had lovely flowers and leaves to frame the doors as well. More from Aix to come soon! Anna Wu is a wedding and portrait photographer…
To be honest, Versailles was not high on my list of things to do in France. Even though I had only been to France once before, back in high school, I definitely remembered visiting Versailles then and thinking that it was beautiful, but all the glitter quickly becomes so excessive and strangely monotone. Plus, tourist sites…
Paris. With its reputation for romance and its streets packed with history, art, and culture, it’s probably safe to call it one of the most beautiful cities in the world. And though this wasn’t my first trip to Paris, the only other time I had been was on a tour with my AP European History class…
For two beautiful weeks in June, I trekked around France and Italy, wandering around cities, visiting small towns, and snapping photos all along the way. Consider this a teaser: a collection of doors from Paris. Stay tuned for more to come. Anna Wu is a wedding and portrait photographer based in San Francisco but often traveling…
Oh, Cincinnati. I don’t return to Ohio (where I spent my middle school & high school years) nearly enough, but I’ve made a better effort in the last couple years. This spring visit was perfectly tacked onto my Chicago trip. To say the city is undergoing a lot of change is an understatement. Over-the-Rhine, once known…
Back in May, I got to fly to Chicago to photograph a beautiful wedding for my friends Eric and Ninna. Of course, with many of our friends in town for the wedding, we also got to hang out for a couple days before and after. A lot of my photos this trip were from around Jessica and Alex’s…
Cherry blossoms everywhere. It was the absolute perfect week of the year to be in Philadelphia. From wandering the streets of Fishtown to exploring a couple world-class museums, it was a lovely trip.

Located just two hours south of San Francisco, Monterey makes for a perfect day trip from the Bay Area. I’ve been lucky enough to visit Monterey Bay four times in the last year, for a variety of reasons, including weddings and personal trips. This March, when I was down in Monterey for a couple days, I visited the Monterey…
I’m not a very outdoorsy person by nature. Lacking in athleticism, having no survival skills, and having a general dislike for insects makes me pretty useless for most intense outdoor activities. But walking through pretty nature? Yes. That I love. Back in March and April, I got to go on four different hikes around the…
Back in February, I hit the (very familiar) road for a solo road-trip down to Los Angeles. I got to visit my friends Kevin and Jenny’s new home in Alhambra, check out a waterfall hike with my friend Connie, sneak in an “Art for Art” shoot, and even go grapefruit picking in the city of LA….
