After a weekend spent melting in our crazy 105-degree heatwave, we thankfully returned to more normal weather, and I was excited to explore the Japanese Tea Garden in Golden Gate Park with Allie and David for their engagement session. They were so sweet and even sent me on my way with a giant homemade cookie at the…
I absolutely adore photographing surprise proposals. And what better place for a proposal than in front of the iconic blue door at The French Laundry in Yountville, California? I was excited to work with Thomas on this surprise for his girlfriend Jenny. I’ll let them tell the story from here! From Thomas: Jenny and I are both…
A huge congratulations to Tina and Michael on their engagement! Michael proposed in the Marin Headlands where they had their first hike together, and I was honored to be on hand to capture the occasion. I love hearing the story from my couples themselves, so I’ll let them take it away! From Michael: I knew…
We headed out to Sutro Baths for Megan and Andrew’s engagement session on what must have been the windiest day of the year. But despite the chilly air aggressively whipping us about, both of them were so wonderful and in good spirits the whole time. See just a few of my favorites from the session…
Cindy and Jon wanted a little bit of city and a little bit of the water for their engagement session, so we met up in the cute town of Sausalito, catching a lovely gap between rain storms and a gentle little sunset too. Anna Wu is a wedding and portrait photographer based in San Francisco. She creates…
About an hour south of San Francisco is a little hidden gem: a hostel on the sea at Pigeon Point Lighthouse. For $40, you get a room, access to a hot tub overlooking the ocean, and even wifi. Kim and Chris discovered this little hideaway together, and one day on a romantic stroll down to…
I loved exploring the north side of the Golden Gate with Liz and Ryan on their engagement session. We hiked up to Battery Spencer and down to Kirby Cove, with varied scenes and an abundance of beautiful sights all along the way. See a few of my favorites below! Anna Wu is a wedding and…
Surprise proposals are one of my absolute favorite things to photograph. The excitement! The thoughtful planning! I loved working with Oliver to help him capture his surprise for Molly. I’ll let them tell the story below. From Oliver: Molly and I met online (this was really my first time ever trying this). After a wonderful…
Shirin and Eric first met at SantaCon five years ago (with her dressed as Ms. Gingerbread and he as Super Santa), so Christmas is one of their favorite times of year. For the proposal, Eric wanted to pay tribute to Shirin’s old tradition of creating fairytale books for her family, so he taught himself how…
I am absolutely honored that five years in, I still get to meet up with Shau-Ru and Ed for their anniversary portraits each December. This time, when we were thinking up locations, the Cypress Tree Tunnel in Point Reyes popped in mind, so we trekked up north and met up there just before sunset. See just a…
I always love photographing surprise proposals, but this one was an especially fun treat, as the proposal was for my good friend Tiffany. She has long known that she wanted to marry Greg, and she has long said that she would want me there to photograph the proposal. Tiffany and I both travel a lot, so we actually share…
I’ll follow you to the ends of the earth… I met Maxine and Justin on a chilly (yet deceptively sunny) day in San Francisco for their engagement session at Sutro Baths. I absolutely loved photographing her bright red gown against the beautiful landscape. See some of my favorites below. Anna Wu is a wedding and portrait…
