Tina and Bryan first met eight years ago. Their first date took them all around Land’s End on a chat and a walk that basically never ended. For their wedding day, they chose to be married at Hakone Gardens in Saratoga, a nod to their mutual love of Japan. They also paid tribute to Bryan’s…
It has been nine years since I photographed Caterina & John for their engagement session and their wedding. I am so delighted to see them again, this time with their daughter, for a family session. We roamed around the San Francisco Botanical Garden in Golden Gate Park for these beautiful portraits, a little capture of…
After their beautiful morning ceremony and an afternoon break, Lakshmi and Jaxon gathered again with friends and family for their wedding reception amidst the redwoods of Deer Park Villa in Fairfax. With heartfelt toasts and a surprise dance performance by the groom and his friends, we all laughed, cried, and danced the night away. Unbeknownst…
Lakshmi and Jaxon met in Denver, though they both hail from the San Francisco Bay Area. To meet Lakshmi is to be instantly won over by her, as Jaxon’s own friends will tell you. (We might like her more than you now, they confess). She is the warm-hearted doctor with a big laugh and he…
July recap! We were only in the Bay Area for half of the month, between our trips to San Diego, Milwaukee, Chicago, and my summer camp, TAF. But here is a glimpse at that time in the Bay! First, a very kind gift from my friend Courtney– Taiwanese teas and biscuits from Té Company in…
Alex has a goal to attend an MLB game in all 30 stadiums, so we’ve been making steady progress this year. San Diego was surprisingly still on the list, even though it’s right here in California. So it was time to pay a visit to the Padres while our Giants were on the road there!…
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…
Tahoe is stunning in all seasons– famous for its alpine vistas and world-class skiing in the winter and its clear blue lake and water sports in the summer. We were lucky enough to make visits in both seasons this year. At the end of June, Alex and I drove over to attend a friend’s wedding…
It was so much fun to meet up with James and Jonathan (JJ and JC) for their engagement session all around the Stanford campus, where JC always used to visit JJ during his Ph.D studies. We even ended the session at the very unglamorous loading dock where JC would often wait to pick up JJ…
M and D are the sweetest souls who met in Palo Alto and immediately felt at ease with each other. Their wedding day was full of personalized touches, including getting ready together at home under the supervision of their cat Butter, a nod to their careers as academics with some keynote presentations during their reception,…
