Happy birthday to me! As you may know, I have a standing tradition of throwing myself a birthday party to kick off each year. Every time, I ask myself what the specific purpose of my gathering might be, and this time I decided to have an all-day craft day with our closest friends. In the…
I still don’t know what kind of a crazy time warp we all stepped into in 2020, but I am still a bit bewildered, trying to step out on the other side. The Lynch family was one of the last photo sessions I photographed before we all went into lockdown in March, 2020, and now…
It has been such a joy to work with Annsa and Arvind for the past few years. Despite having to postpone and postpone– and ultimately cancel– their 2020 wedding, Annsa and Arvind have been unceasingly gracious and wonderful to be with. I am so glad to still be able to document their love story, even…
Congratulations to Amy and Sumedh on their beautiful San Francisco City Hall wedding! So many friends and family were able to attend for their civil ceremony, and then we roamed around for some portraits afterwards. Here are a few favorites below. Anna Wu is a wedding and portrait photographer based in San Francisco, California. She…
I loved being part of James and Jonathan’s wedding at the Hangar1 Distillery in Alameda. I am thrilled to see the story of that beautiful day now perfectly captured in this heirloom wedding album. JJ and JC chose a green luxe linen and gold foil debossing for the cover, and they opted for the nice…
Each year, I collect small gifts along my travels and compile them into a holiday gift set for my wedding clients. It’s my way of sharing a small part of my year with my couples when they’ve shared such an important part of theirs with me. And this year, we had the added distinction of…
Sixteen adults, three kids, and a pup. We roamed a small park in Fremont and photographed every permutation and combination of this four-generation family, but no matter what grouping or order you put them in, what comes out is love. Such a joy to document these special gatherings of family over the holidays! First, the…
Yes or Yes! This was such a sweet surprise proposal. Darren knew that Yue would suspect that a proposal was coming, because they had already gone ring shopping together. Plus, she knew they had a reservation for The French Laundry where they had dined once before. But he still had some surprises up his sleeve….
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…
What an incredibly sweet and stunning session! Miranda and Felix booked me for their engagement session before finding out that they actually live just one floor above me in the same building in San Francisco. Such a small world. I absolutely loved getting to photograph them out at Fort Funston, a familiar spot to their…
Jenny and Jun’s wedding at the Ritz Carlton Half Moon Bay was perfectly captured in print in their beautiful wedding album. I love all of the simple layouts that let the images shine. Take a peek inside album below. On the cover, rose gold foil debossing on a natural luxe linen. Such classic wedding details….
I first met Lesley years ago, and she told me back then that she loved my work and would someday hire me for her wedding. That was incredibly nice and flattering, but sometimes people just say things! Especially since Lesley lives on the East Coast and I have always been here in California, I didn’t…
