Maddi and Kangway first met on a graduate school visit weekend in Urbana, Illinois, Kangway’s hometown. The chemistry (yes, that’s what they were studying) was apparent. They have since moved together to Pasadena, Boston, and now the Bay Area. They are always there for each other, nerding out on Harry Potter and superhero movies, debating…
High in the hills, overlooking Malibu, the four of us marveled at our surroundings. What a stunning place to be wed. None of us were from the area– the three of them having come from Chicago and me from the Bay Area– but so many threads had pulled together for us to be there in…
Christine and Hanlin have have known each other since high school, although it didn’t always register (to Christine) that there might be interest beyond a friendship.

Alexandria and Tom met as juniors at UC Berkeley when they took a film class about monster movies together. They’ve lived together in Berkeley for the decade ever since.

Although they are getting married in California next year, Jen and Gary live in Seattle and decided to fly me up there for their engagement session so we could include their corgi Daisy in the session. We drove two hours north of Seattle and explored Rosario Beach on the shores of Washington State. Despite forecasts…
Mt. Tam always delivers. Whether sunny or foggy, there’s a special magic about being in the hills above the city. Out in nature and yet able to spot San Francisco right there in the distance. We traveled to Mt Tamalpais on a weekday for Christine and Hanlin’s engagement session and were rewarded with a beautiful…

This was my very first time getting to visit Fort Funston, a famed off-leash dog park on the coast of San Francisco, and I had so much fun exploring it with Maddi and Kangway and their little pup Quin. See a few highlights below! Congrats, Maddi & Kangway! Looking forward to your wedding in October!…
Karla and Bernd met through mutual friends and sparked their relationship over an evening spent talking on a San Francisco rooftop. They have, in their own words, done everything backwards. They bought a house together seven years ago, they had two beautiful children, and now they’ve decided to do the wedding thing. While they’re two…
I am so happy to share some images from Liz and Kenny’s wedding at San Francisco City Hall. These two met through a mutual friend on Instagram of all places, and after a whirlwind long distance romance moved in together in LA and eventually moved to Sacramento to buy a house. They have been together…
