Over Christmas, Justin and I popped over from Philadelphia to New York City for a weekend filled wth art museums, Jewish and Chinese eateries, and other wanderings. Would you believe I’ve never ever been to the Guggenheim before? I finally made a visit thanks to my SFMOMA membership, which includes reciprocal access to the Guggenheim, The Whitney, and…
A glance back at my time in Philadelphia three months ago and already three trips to Philly ago. Fishtown wanderings: A visit to the Edgar Allan Poe house where he wrote The Raven amongst many other works. Michelle and Frank came down from NYC and we headed to Beiler’s Donuts in Reading Terminal Market……
Autumn in Acadia is simply stunning. Much like my time in Yosemite, we had persistent fog and rain hanging over us. And yet, it was still so beautiful. Fog and foliage make a great match after all. Sunrise from Cadillac Mountain… the first spot to see sunrise in the United States. We apparently visited China…
Beautiful foliage, delicious lobsters, cute towns, and we even happened upon an alpaca farm. Ahh, it must be fall in Maine. Maine has been beckoning me for a few years now, and Justin and I finally got to make our way up the coast this October. I headed over to the East Coast as soon as I…
I stood on the side of the road, the mist rolling gently through the mountains before me. Calmness. Gratitude. I had never been so glad to see a rainy day. Normally people are disappointed when rain pervades their Yosemite trip. You might normally hope for sunny skies or a classic golden hour and a beautiful sunset. But I’ve seen…
At the end of August, I headed back to Philly again and made a weekend road trip from there to attend my friend Amanda’s wedding in Chantilly, Virginia. Philly to Chantilly! See a recap of the whole week below. First, I attended The Knot’s wedding industry event at Bok, a converted high school which has…
It took eight hours, but I drove from Philadelphia to Buffalo in order to photograph Amber and Ben’s wedding at Ben’s childhood home. Justin joined me the second day, and we got to explore a bit of Buffalo, visit Cat and her family, and even stop by Niagara Falls before driving another seven hours to Boston to…
One weekend in July, four of us (Colman, Amaris, Justin, and I) hopped in the car from Philly for a quick weekend getaway to Annapolis. We wandered the main street (literally Main St.), went stand-up paddleboarding, visited the Naval Academy, and somewhat reluctantly but somewhat enthusiastically joined the hoards of Pokemon players on the street. All in all, a great little one-night…
My visits to Philly this summer have been packed with festivals, colorful art, and lobsters! Take a little peek below. First up, the Italian Market Festival. The Strawberry Festival in Peddler’s Village. We heard a lady at the strawberry stand proudly declaring, “No, these are not local! The local strawberries were terrible this year.” They…
New Orleans is such a unique city. With such a complex blend of French creole and diverse cultures, a vibrant round-the-clock night life, and the lasting impact of Hurrican Katrina, it’s an endlessly colorful and interesting place. We flew down over Memorial Day weekend, staying for three nights and covering a lot of ground across the Seventh Ward,…
Ahh, springtime in DC. I made it down for peak cherry blossom season a couple years ago as I was finishing up my Pointe of View series. This time, we drove down from Philadelphia the first weekend of April, missing the blooms by a week. But we still had a great weekend down in DC, headlined by…
Cherry blossoms, magnolias, the art museum, and cute shops. Just a few frames from my time in Philadelphia this spring! Anna Wu is a wedding and portrait photographer based in San Francisco but often traveling and working around the world. She creates beautiful, soft, and timeless imagery while capturing the most fleeting of moments. View…
