I read 50 books in 2022, almost all of which were just on my little phone screen via my library’s ebook collection. It was an especially rich year for heartfelt memoirs and fascinating nonfiction. I also decided to sketch all my books on my little notebook bookshelf, in the order I read them. Below are…
Anna Wu Photography is fifteen! It has been a wild journey full of highs and lows, and yet I am here today, still reveling in the fact that this childhood hobby of mine has transformed into such a full life and career. To celebrate the occasion, I invited my past clients to help create a…
I read 82 books in 2021, most of which were finished in the first couple months of the year. I read most of them as ebooks on my phone, yes, 82 books on that little screen. I figured since I spend most of my day staring at the device anyway, I might as well at…
Events are back! I was honored be back for the third time photographing the Industry “House Party” at The Pearl. This time, after a long hiatus, we were celebrating the return of the events at this San Francisco venue. See a few of the highlights below! Guests entered through School Night, the bar/restaurant adjacent to…
My reading habits came and went as they pleased in 2020, dipping to zero in both May and July as I became overwhelmed by doomscrolling or other things in life and in the world. But I still managed to read 34 books. They are shown above in roughly descending order from favorite (top left) to…
I love how this suite of wedding albums turned out for Priyanka and Karthik’s mult-day Indian wedding. They opted for a medium album with custom calligraphy on the cover, as well as a small album with the standard font and a few mini albums as well, all clad in a beautiful light green luxe linen….
I love revisiting a wedding day in the form of a beautiful wedding album. We captured Evangel and Edwin’s wedding story in this small, 8″ album covered with a champagne fabric. Take a little peek inside at some of our favorite images from their Casa Real celebration! Anna Wu is a wedding photographer based in…
I love this beautiful dusty blue linen that Maddi and Kangway chose for their wedding albums. We created one medium 10″ album for them and two mini 6″ albums for each of their parents. Take a peek inside the books below! A size comparison with the 10″ and the 6″ books. I always include at…
56 books is the most I’ve ever read in a year, almost double the 31 I read in 2018. My basic strategy was to convert some of the endless hours of scrolling through social media into time reading books instead. And as always, I check out all of these books as ebooks from the library–…
I’m excited to share Jennifer and Gary’s guest book today! We traveled up to Rosario Beach, Washington for their engagement session this past fall, and we transformed those images into a beautiful book that their guests will be able to sign at their wedding this summer. Here’s a look at the wraparound photo cover. And…
It’s become an annual tradition for me to collect small gifts along my travels and to gather them as holiday gifts for my wedding clients. I really love choosing the items as I go and curating these one-of-a-kind packages, never to be repeated from year to year! 2019 was such a full year for travels….
Connection From the start of 2019, I chose “connection” as my theme for the year. Connection is the heart of what makes us human, and yet, I so often resist it, setting it aside for comfort, introversion, and an attempt to protect myself through isolation. I wanted to push myself beyond that and to practice…
