She loves to bake; he loves to cook. She loves running and gardening, and she indulges his propensity for expensive hobbies like fancy shaving kits or Italian leather shoes. They both love hikes, trips to the farmer’s market, and travels around the world. In each other, Allie and David have found their sense of home…
I spotted a facebook post from my friend Maki one day looking for a NYC photographer to capture some family portraits since her family would be visiting her there. She had just moved to New York from San Francisco not long ago, and her parents would be visiting from Ohio and her grandfather visiting from…
We picked some dates in October to make a little fall getaway to Shenandoah National Park. Little did we know that fall foliage wouldn’t be peaking for another two weeks, and when it did it would be the worst color on record for the last several decades. Too little rain means too little color in…
They met when their mutual friends converged into a large group at midnight. Chris played hard to get, waiting an entire week before calling. But ever since then, they’ve been inseparable. Four years later, Kim and Chris ventured up north with their friends and family in tow to be wed. It was such a beautiful…
It’s off to the woods with the Heckerlings! I’ve photographing Raquel and Andy through the years for their engagement, their wedding, and now with their family of four. We met up in Atlanta just after Thanksgiving this year for a brand new set of family portraits. It’s a fine line between loving your little sister and…
Autumn in Acadia is simply stunning. Much like my time in Yosemite, we had persistent fog and rain hanging over us. And yet, it was still so beautiful. Fog and foliage make a great match after all. Sunrise from Cadillac Mountain… the first spot to see sunrise in the United States. We apparently visited China…
The forecasts were ominous. Though they fluctuated by the hour, they all agreed: it would rain every day this weekend. And while the bride and groom were upbeat and ready to roll with the rain plan, they certainly didn’t choose Yosemite hoping to get married indoors. Rachel’s late father had lovingly run a summer camp for decades, and so…
When Elizabeth and Derek met at a college party, they hit it off immediately. She loves rugby. He plays rugby. He is a total film nerd. She was a film major. They also discovered a shared love of books, Berkeley, history, and architecture. So when it came time to be wed, there was no more perfect spot…
We’ve finally made it to the final stop of our whirlwind tour through New Zealand and Australia: Melbourne. Our stay was only two days long, but we all fell for the city in that short time. Melbourne and Sydney have a running rivalry much like LA vs. New York or maybe LA vs. SF. (And…
We continue the series with more explorations around Sydney, including a quick visit to the coastal shores of Bondi Beach. We start off again in Surry Hills, the neighborhood where we stayed for our three-night visit. Our airbnb was cute, but the windows did not have screens and I got eaten alive by a mosquito and…
After a whole lot of anticipation, we finally made our way to Sydney, Australia. There was quite a bit of hype for the city, considering our friend did fall in love with it, quit his job, and move across the world to live there. And then he met a girl, fell in love with her, and…
We bid our early morning farewells to New Zealand and headed to Australia; specifically, Hamilton Island, a small resort island near the Great Barrier Reef. It’s the kind of place where golf carts are the mode of transportation and housing comes mostly in the form of timeshares and hotels. On our agenda: SCUBA diving in the Great…
