Jeri and Dan were originally planning for a big wedding in 2020, but of course, things shifted a little bit. They decided to move the big party to 2021 and were still able to have a wedding on the original date– just smaller. But as life continued on, and with them buying a new house,…
October recap! Orange October – playoff baseball for the Giants; a day trip to Guerneville for work; meeting Baby Westy; and the Warriors at Chase Center. Plus more! First, a teeny home project: I added a hook for my hanging plant so that it doesn’t just have to hang from the door any more. The…
Alex and I are lucky enough to have not only our primary residence in San Francisco but also a second home in Cupertino, which is really his parents’ property from when he went to school here. We have really enjoyed not only just the privilege of having two homes, but also the joy of both…
What a delight to capture this beautiful proposal for Jasmine and David. They met through a Taiwanese summer camp that I also attended for a very long time, so I was delighted to be a part of this surprise. The premise: a roommates’ trip for the group of five from Chicago to visit the San…
It’s time for the September recap! We began the month with our accountability meeting, this time at Cassie’s house. With Do-Hee joining online. Dinner with Alex at Nari in Japantown. We visited pre-pandemic but wanted to come support it again. They now have a prix fixe menu, which we opted for. So delicious! Maybe a…
One of the great delights of living in the Bay Area is getting to take little day trips up to wine country, with so many beautiful spots to visit only an hour or two north of San Francisco. These days, after having joined Reeve winery as members and also having more photo sessions again, we’ve…
This meal was two years in the making! Alex and I first made a reservation for SingleThread in fall 2019, but that was cancelled due to fires in Calistoga that weekend. We decided to wait for a future date to book the meal. Then, of course, the pandemic hit. SingleThread was actually quite agile in…
August recap! Wow, so much baseball. And a few outings with friends as well. Let’s get right into it! The Giants continue to be #1 in all of MLB! We continue to attend a bunch of their games. I never thought I’d actually like going to so much baseball, but it’s quite a fun experience…
On a beautiful day in July, we drove north of the city for an afternoon of kayaking in Tomales Bay. Alex signed us up for a group kayak tour with REI, and we were lucky in every way with not only clear skies but also favorable winds, and we discovered the ease of a tandem…
This was such a sweet double proposal. Aparna reached out to me to let me know that she and Shiv were planning their proposals together, and they would both be proposing, not as a surprise, but as something they wanted to do together. They had designed matching rings together, and each wrote a card that…
Daisy and Eric once walked down this stretch of coastline after Daisy had just met Eric’s entire extended family when she attended his grandmother’s birthday party. What a sweet place to return to in celebration of their engagement and upcoming wedding, remembering everything that has brought them here and being open to the journey ahead….
It was wonderful to meet Erin and Duc, for their engagement session over at Land’s End and Sutro Baths. Thanks to the Monday session, we had the place virtually to ourselves, and we also got lucky with the most beautiful golden hour light. See a few of my favorites below. Anna Wu is a wedding…
