Labor Day is a great time to visit New York City, especially if you like the city relatively quiet and empty! Alex and I were able to spend two whole weeks in New York thanks to the generosity of friends who let us stay in their place on the Upper West Side while they were…
Nearly one year after we were married, Alex and I finally went on our honeymoon! When it came to our honeymoon destination, we came up with a huge list of possibilities all over the world and eventually circled back to the first idea for a travel destination that we’d had even before the pandemic, Portugal. …
Alex and I spent almost two weeks of September in New York, and we just happened to catch the transition from summer into fall. Of course it would have been nice to know that would happen before we left, because we had zero rain-appropriate clothing, but alas. We still had such a wonderful time, both…
Alex and I got to take a brief road trip down to LA for Labor Day weekend since I had a wedding to photograph down there. Our friends Jon and Pei were kind enough to host us, and we managed to squeeze a lot into our brief visit! First, scenes from our drive down: a…
We had such a wonderful time in Calgary, arriving on Canada Day (July 1st) and staying just past the Fourth of July. We stayed at an airbnb in Inglewood, just east of Downtown, and it was perfectly situated for a few days of exploring the city. Lucky for us, dinner on night one was right…
Vivian and Dru were married in their back yard during the pandemic, but they never had professional photos to commemorate their engagement or their wedding. So we made up for it by hiking up Bernal Heights one evening with their pup in tow. The fog pulled over the city like a blanket, and the wind…
I had the best time with these two California natives, wandering around their neighborhood at golden hour and capturing their joyous laughter, up and down the hills of Potrero Hill. See a few favorites below. Anna Wu is a wedding and portrait photographer based in San Francisco, California. She combines a “fine art” aesthetic, with…
Crystal and Chris are expecting their firstborn soon, and I was honored to capture their portraits in this time of anticipation and excitement. We started right in their neighborhood in Jackson Square, San Francisco, and we walked over to the Ferry Building, a trip they make every week to visit the Farmer’s Market. Here are…
Back in June, Alex and I decided to take a little road trip down through Southern California, with Channel Islands National Park as the primary destination, and of course lots of other fun towns and delicious food along the way. The first day of the road trip was spent in Santa Barbara, and we also…
I’ve known Joyce pretty much since she was born, since our families were friends and we grew up occasionally meeting up in random parts of Michigan for holidays together. Although our mothers are still close friends, all of us kids have only kept loose tabs on each other since, so it was such an honor…
Our neighborhood walking tours began in December 2020, borne out of pandemic restlessness and a desire to trick myself out of hibernation and into exploring my surroundings (safely) again. I researched free walking tours or assembled various articles and book chapters to make up my own background reading on various places around the San Francisco…
