We did it! Almost a year after we started, we finally completed the Crosstown Trail. Our friend Cindy joined Alex and me for this fifth and final leg of the hike, walking from Park Presidio in The Richmond, passing by Baker Beach, and ending at Sutro Baths. First, we met at Breadbelly in the Richmond…
Alex and I embarked on section four of five of the Crosstown Trail back in November, squeezing it in before we left on our travels for the rest of the year. Section four took us from the Sunset up through the Richmond via a cross section of Golden Gate Park. Not the most spectacular part…
One week after we completed section two of the Crosstown Trail, we resumed the hike with section three: “the stair section!” I wouldn’t have guessed it would be my favorite section (since walking up and down a ton of stairs doesn’t sound all that fun), but it turned out to be absolutely beautiful and charming!…
Hiking the Crosstown Trail is still an ongoing project for us, but Alex and I made a lot of progress in the fall before the weather and our travels set in. The Crosstown Trail is a wonderful volunteer-assembled walking/biking trail that extends from the southeast to the northwest corners of San Francisco. We hiked the…
October recap! We start off with my lunch date with Rebecca and a box of my fruit CSA from Frog Hollow Farms. A visit to the glass pumpkin pop-up at Santana Row with the Garrisons. Date night at Showa, a relatively new tasting menu spot in Soma, SF, featuring tonkatsu. Blue Angels flying…
Back in October, Alex and I had a little staycation up in Sebastopol. We have been there a handful of times, mostly passing through for photo sessions or weddings or on the way from Santa Rosa to the Sonoma Coast. This time, we went enjoyed a stay in the town and visited the shops, farms,…
At the start of September, we returned from our New York trip, and in the middle, we spent a long weekend in Kansas City. The rest of the month was packed full of birthdays and gatherings! First, some casual hangouts with friends– it was warm enough for a pool day in SF! Plus, visiting Benchmark…
What a stunning backdrop for a beautiful moment! Chloe and Jeffrey were visiting California from Michigan, but the forecasts turned rather foreboding for the weekend. Luckily, Jeffrey was able to rearrange a few things around the weather and found a reprieve amidst the rainy days to bring Chloe down to Big Sur on a little…
This was a sweet session for Ailan and her family, walking around Lake Chabot in the East Bay. Her two sons were home from college for the holidays, and their energetic new puppy was ready to steal the show. Anna Wu is a wedding and portrait photographer based in San Francisco. View her work at…
This was such a wonderful fall photo session for this extended family! I’ve been friends with these folks for decades and got to photograph both Tiffany and Greg’s wedding almost seven years ago and Andrew and Sharon’s wedding last year. And now we’ve expanded and reunited with three kiddos, including the two baby girl cousins…
A wintry magic hour on the California Coast! What a delight to photograph K & Z and their very fluffy and enthusiastic doggo at San Francisco’s Fort Funston. The wind was in full force, but so was the golden sun. A beautiful combination. Anna Wu is a wedding and portrait photographer based in San Francisco,…
Mimi and Nick were wed in a private vow ceremony before hosting a tea ceremony and lunch reception for their closest family, and then a full Chinese banquet for their larger communities. I joined them at their home as they got ready together before embarking on the other two parts of their day. All in…
