Karen and Hadi did not let the rain stop them from some beautiful wedding day portraits at Sutro Baths before their City Hall ceremony. I love these misty, romantic moments against the epic backdrop of the sea. Later, we regrouped inside the beautiful building of San Francisco City Hall for an intimate ceremony with just…
Hello, May of last year! It was a busy month of travels and gatherings, but we start the at-home adventures with Taiwan Day at the SF Giants. Cute Taiwan bear bobbleheads this year! We had a wonderful personal block of Taiwanese Americans joining us for the annual night out. The ‘popcorn chicken’ looked like donut…
For our babymoon, we returned to one of our favorite spots: the Harbor House Inn, a beautiful two-Michelin-starred restaurant and hotel on the Mendocino Coast. We had already visited Harbor House for lunch on when we got engaged and returned for dinner on a second trip, and now we would complete the experience with the…
Katherine and Brannon had a wonderful little backyard wedding with their closest family and friends. They had a simple ceremony officiated by a longtime friend, and celebrated with cake and tea, of course, as is the British way. Congratulations, Katherine & Brannon! Anna Wu is a wedding and portrait photographer based in San Francisco, California….
This was such a wonderful surprise proposal! A lot of proposal clients come to me without a fully formed plan, and that’s totally fine, because I am happy to help them figure out the details. Brandon initially picked a date and time for his proposal about a month out. But as we started chatting, it…
At home in the month of April. Starting it off with a virtual accountability meeting. Matt Chapman bobblehead day with the Giants. Golden State 5k! I walked most of it, but I was proud to do it at all as I was starting my third trimester. Brunch at Rabbit Hole. And stroller shopping with my…
Hello, March! Let’s get right into it. First, a virtual Office of Accountability meeting. I cannot remember why we were laughing. I borrowed a tiny Sony RX100 V camera through my Sony Pro membership and used it all month. It’s a pocked-sized point and shoot, but I liked that it still had a wide aperture….
At least once a year, we’ll make the trek up to Tahoe for Alex to go snowboarding. After a few seasons of skiing at Palisades, Alex switched back to Northstar on Epic this year. And I spent some quality time hanging out at our Airbnb, visiting my favorites shops in downtown Truckee, and enjoying lodge…
I’m back on the monthly recaps! We spent most of January in Asia, so I’m picking up with a combined post on both January and February in the Bay. We definitely returned from Asia with three more bags than we left with! And our first meal back was… Chipotle? Videochat catch-ups We also came back…
This surprise proposal took a bit of a pivot when Noah’s plans for a Napa proposal got rained out the previous weekend. Left to improvise, he got cornered into just admitting the whole plan instead. So, perhaps Emily wasn’t really surprised by the time we got to this particular spot the following week, but she…
Not all proposals are surprises! In this case David already had to reschedule the proposal because Julia figured out the original date. When rain forecasts threatened the new date, he decided to just go ahead with it anyway. Julia was still working overtime trying to spoil the surprise, so before they even got there, she…
I love a great surprise proposal, and this one was a true surprise! Samarth did such a wonderful job thinking through not only how to make it a surprise but also how to make sure it was all something that Nikita would love. He lured her to the beautiful gardens at Filoli under the guise…
