I’ve been reading a lot more in recent months. It’s one of the perks of self-employment. And I’ve been reading a lot of Dave Eggers recently. Tonight, I headed to the main library to meet him at an event. Unfortunately, I was a tad bit late. By the time I arrived, the talk had already…
All of the chairs with their matching white covers and navy blue sashes were placed in perfect rows. It was a simple, elegant arrangement set in the shade of the brick building, just slightly tucked aside from the chaos of Fisherman’s Wharf– tourist central, San Francisco. Throughout the day, Margaret and Eric were the calm…
Their friends and family gathered in the beautiful park, and they sat surrounded by trees overlooking serene blue waters. Hilary glowed in the sunshine, her dress understated and romantic, and she stood with her groom, relaxed, smiling. Together they walked down the aisle and stood beneath the chuppah, a simple wedding canopy with gauze for…
With each knock on the door, greetings of salam resonated through the home. Each family entered the house and stepped through to the backyard, transformed by beautiful floral arrangements, hand crafted by the bride’s mother. The warmth of the occasion blended seamlessly with the late afternoon sunshine that lit the space. Magdy entered the backyard,…
It’s a little late into the season, but I’m happy to introduce the very first Anna Wu Photography Assistant Program, starting 2010. I am looking for one to three people who are seriously interested in photography and have time to dedicate to learning and working with me. Please read through this page thoroughly before applying….
I know it’s a matter of familiarity and time. I just moved to San Francisco, and I haven’t been there long enough to enjoy it yet. I haven’t become a part of the city, and it hasn’t become a part of me. I’m not used to this fog, this windy chill, the irony of my…
Dan Hutchings is a classical vocalist based in San Francisco now, but soon moving out of state. He’s reserved, straightforward, and classically good looking too. The cool thing about this session is that it’s the first one I did right here, at my new place in San Francisco. Looking forward to many more to come!
The afternoon sun entices me out of my desk chair and over to the window. Floor to ceiling, wall to wall, Downtown Oakland. Seven palm trees in front of the Tribune tower, next to the courthouse. OUSD, Laney College off to the left. I’ve looked at this view a million times, and it still hasn’t…
Susie peered into the window like a child sneaking a peek at the Christmas presents long before it was time, and she gestured me over to show me. In one room, a harpsicord with light-colored wood ornately painted with floral designs. In another, a stark modernist piece with sleek curving lines and a bold red,…
He is her rock. He has a commanding presence, matched with the kindest eyes. She’s the spontaneous, rambunctious, playful one. They knew within four months of dating that they wanted to get married, but their families insisted they were too young, and so they’ve put it off for six years, keeping their relationship going across…
I first met David at the beginning of this year when I did group portraits of the San Francisco Guitar Quartet. This time, I met him down at the beautiful Santa Clara University campus for an individual headshot session. The Spanish style buildings, abundant greenery, and the beautiful Mission Church made for a wonderfully serene…
Their love is sugary sweet, a simple syrup poured out to melt your heart. Kristen is gentle, supportive, loving, reserved. And Matt is open and earnestly romantic, passionate about everything he loves. They have an unbounded excitement for each other, constantly finding reassurance in each other’s arms. We all went to Duke University together, where…
