It was such a delight to photograph Tracey’s book event at the adorable Books on B in Hayward. Tracey is a certified leadership coach, who has now turned her coaching wisdom into her debut book, The Magic of Knowing What You Want. I love seeing a community come together in support of one of its own….
I photographed K amidst her cancer treatments last year, documenting her body after chemotherapy and before her mastectomy. I just wanted to share the little black book we created from that session– an addition to the quite different little black book with first made for her boudoir session years ago. We chose a simple black…
K and Z had a beautiful San Francisco wedding day , first getting ready at the Hotel Kabuki in Japantown, taking a Waymo over to San Francisco’s City Hall for an intimate ceremony, and completing their celebrations with a reception at Foreign Cinema. All in all such a beautiful, elegant way to mark their union….
Some of you may remember Jess and Charles from their very foggy beach proposal at Fort Funston, with their golden retriever Satchmo as very adorable witness. This time they left Satchmo at home, but they were joined by their family members as they tied the knot at San Francisco’s City Hall. Love Jess’s jumpsuit! Congratulations,…
Mimi and Nick were wed in a private vow ceremony before hosting a tea ceremony and lunch reception for their closest family, and then a full Chinese banquet for their larger communities. I joined them at their home as they got ready together before embarking on the other two parts of their day. All in…
Ten years ago, I photographed K for a boudoir session, celebrating and capturing her body as it was at that time, before she planned to have children. This year she reached out to me under quite different circumstances, though her impulse to document and celebrate a changing body remains much the same. K was diagnosed…
A huge congratulations to Ellie Yang Camp on the launch of her remarkable book, Louder than the Lies! In a frank, conversational manner, Ellie offers such important insight and inspiration for Asian Americans on identity, solidarity, and self-love. I was so happy to be able to photograph two of her Bay Area book launch events….
In many ways it seems that the universe has long been conspiring to bring Kelly and Jeff together, and yet it took a long, long time for them to actually find each other, and longer still for them to realize they should be more than friends. Kelly and Jeff share so many of the same…
Summers in San Francisco can be notoriously cold and foggy, but Emily and Josh were rewarded with only the most beautiful, sun-kissed day for their wedding in the Presidio. Karl the Fog tried to make an entrance in the late afternoon but mostly observed the festivities from a respectful distance. And meanwhile, the guests were…
On a beautifully sunny day, in the middle of the city that Fima and Noah called home, they formalized their vows, signing their San Francisco marriage license as well as their Jewish marriage license, the ketubah, as their family members contributed their blessings to the couple. They had managed to meet at the onset of…
What a beautiful setting on a beautiful evening for this wedding welcome party. Katelyn and Max held their rehearsal dinner with their closest friends and family, followed by drinks and a book swap with all of their guests. Take a peek at some highlights below. Welcome party guests were asked to each bring a book…
Emily and Chris met almost a decade ago, when Chris asked her out to coffee and she responded by saying she only drinks tea… it turns out that as a Brit he actually just drinks tea too. They were engaged in 2018 and had every intention of getting married in 2020 and doing a grand…
