As we crossed the western side of San Francisco, we were graced with one of those classic San Francisco afternoons: mist from the ocean blending with the amber light of the sun to create a magical setting. It was perfect for Christine and Yang’s engagement session, as they climbed over and under trees and up and…
Stephanie and Ian are one of my awesome wedding couples for 2015. And while they’ll be getting married here in California (at the Berkeley City Club), they actually currently live in Washington, D.C., and they used to live in New York City together. So it was just great luck that we were all in New York City…

Aakriti and Chris first met when she interviewed him for a job. It was 9 in the morning and only thing Aakriti was interested in was her coffee. But over the next few months, they got to know each other, and after Chris’ constant pursuits, they finally went on a date and never looked back. On a…

“I fell in love like you fall asleep: slowly, then all at once.” The quote from The Fault in Our Stars perfectly describes how Dora fell for Ken.

Gem and Michael’s engagement session was a blend of all their favorite things: the ocean, the outdoors, dancing, a bit of rock climbing, and of course, each other.

A series of crazy coincidences conspired to set the scene on a beautifully sunny day in Napa for these two to finally meet one another.

What a beautiful Labor Day weekend in Chicago! I was in Chicago for a wedding on Saturday, but of course, we packed in lots of other adventures while we were there, and it was all capped off with this engagement session for my friends Ninna and Eric.
