I’m excited to welcome my friend Pei, who’s guest blogging with us today. Pei is a freelance costume and production designer in Los Angeles, and she recently launched her own lifestyle blog, Have Patience. I love Pei’s ability to combine casual clothing with elegance, and I thought she would be the perfect person to help…
Rebecca is one of the smartest yet humblest people that I know. We were friends from college, and then we were roommates my first two years living in California. It was autumn in our first year as roommates when Rebecca first met Dave, and they clicked immediately. What could have been a brief first date stretched…
They met on twitter before twitter was even popular. Both software developers, Jane and Kevin found their perfect matches in one another. They share a love of cartoons and comics, which was manifested in an Adventure Time-themed cake at their wedding. They also love their adopted cat, who willingly supervised the scene as they got…
Theirs was a whirlwind romance. Yoon, originally from Korea, was in Iowa for graduate school, while Steve, from Indiana, had found his way to Iowa for work. They were set up on a blind date and knew immediately that they had found something special. By their fifth date, Yoon was flying across the country to meet…
I am so excited to share this third edition of my 2014 personal project, Art for Art. Once a month, I find a fellow photographer whose work I admire, and I photograph them; they photograph me. We’ll get to see each other work; we’ll explore how different or similar our styles might be; and we can challenge…
A look of disbelief passed between them. Happy, this-is-surreal disbelief, but disbelief nonetheless. It might have been the five years that have passed since they first fell in love and got engaged. They never thought it could happen, especially since they lived in Texas. Or it might have been the entire day of being pampered…
Jenny and Kevin and I have an annual tradition of documenting their love story and creating a new album to chronicle their lives together. This year was their third anniversary, and so we photographed them in their first home together– a home which they’ve now sold. We created these unique chartreuse leather heirloom albums, and…
The naval leather album looks absolutely perfect against these rich wood tones. Julie and Jeremy selected a 10×10″ album with their names and wedding date debossed on the cover. The albums are professionally crafted with these thick storyboard pages and thin center gutters that allow for photos to be laid across the middle almost seamlessly….
Tracy was at Golden Gate Park one day with her dog Charlie, when Charlie decided to step in and play the role of matchmaker. Kyle struck up a conversation about the pup, and months later, he and Tracy were having their first date at La Mar on Embarcadero. Tracy and Kyle now live together in…
I love the understated gray of this mosstone leather. It’s a beautiful neutral backdrop for Anne and Kyle’s elegant wedding. They selected a medium 10×10″ album for themselves, as well as three 5×5″ mini books to gift to their parents, and of course they had their names debossed onto the cover– my favorite custom addition….
Chhay plotted this proposal months in advance. He knew that Li loves flash mob proposals, and so he set out to craft the perfect flash mob, just for her. Friends flew in from all over the country and even Canada, and they had all individually learned the dance routine via a secret tutorial video. Two…
