Welcome to part two of Jia and Suyash’s wedding celebrations! If you missed part one, the Indian pooja, you can visit it here. On day two, Jia and Suyash headed into the Santa Cruz mountains for a beautiful celebration at Chateau Partage, a little castle amidst the redwoods. The long-awaited day was finally here! See…
Jia and Suyash are the warmest complements to each other. Suyash is laid back and an avid reader. According to Jia, he excels at sitting still. Meanwhile, Jia is passionate, energetic, and never sitting still. On their first trip together, they visited Cuba, where Jia discovered Suyash’s questionable packing choices, and Suyash was introduced to…
If you’ve been following along, you might remember Elaine and Sean as the couple who had me hike two hours up and down a mountain for their engagement session. Of course it was completely worth it, not only because the setting was beautiful, but because Elaine and Sean were an absolute joy to be around,…
This was such a sweet double proposal. Aparna reached out to me to let me know that she and Shiv were planning their proposals together, and they would both be proposing, not as a surprise, but as something they wanted to do together. They had designed matching rings together, and each wrote a card that…
It is such an honor to be asked by a fellow photographer to photograph their family. I was delighted to meet Cassie’s parents and her sister on their long anticipated visit to San Francisco. We hiked up Bernal Hill for some golden hour magic! Dad and Rusty share a special bond. Of course they needed…
Daisy and Eric once walked down this stretch of coastline after Daisy had just met Eric’s entire extended family when she attended his grandmother’s birthday party.

It was wonderful to meet Erin and Duc, for their engagement session over at Land’s End and Sutro Baths. Thanks to the Monday session, we had the place virtually to ourselves, and we also got lucky with the most beautiful golden hour light. See a few of my favorites below. Anna Wu is a wedding…
One long year after their intimate wedding ceremony atop Tiburon, Yannie and Howard were finally able to celebrate their marriage with the rest of their family and friends at their original venue in Sonoma.

I am pleased to present the first wedding album of this year, Cynthia and Erik’s! We got to debut a new font for the cover, since my album company has now presented a slew of new font options. In addition to the debossed names and date, Cynthia and Erik selected the turquoise silk for the…
I am so incredibly grateful for the community of women that I have here in San Francisco. There are so many people, local or not, who have held me up through the pandemic, but over and over again, it’s Cassie, Courtney, and Do-Hee who are always, unceasingly there for me — and for each other….
Say hello to the newest member of the Lee Family! I’ve had the privilege of photographing Adrienne and Jenton since their engagement session seven years ago, and we are continuing the tradition with these wonderful family portraits year after year. See some of my favorites from this at-home session below. This one is a follow-up…
As you may recall, I held a socially distanced shibori birthday party back in January with friends participating from five time zones across four countries. We each had shibori (indigo) dye kits and dyed quilt squares, which were then mailed back to me so I could create a community-made quilt, like a warm hug from…
