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…
It’s time for part two of our week in Alaska! Passing back through Anchorage for brunch, we headed north towards Denali for part two of our Alaska trip. Our first stop was Talkeetna, an absolutely adorable little town filled with shops and restaurants. Loved the town of Talkeetna! Birch bark baskets and handmade knives. Root…
Alaska: the final frontier. A while back, my friend Amy told me she’s been wanting to go to Alaska, and I responded that Alaska has been on my list too (then again, everything is on my list). Soon enough, we were planning a trip for this summer. Since Alaska is a gigantic state, four times…
I am absolutely delighted to share this beautiful boudoir session today. W wanted to do this boudoir session as a gift to herself and to her new husband for their wedding. See a few of the photos below and hear from W herself describing the experience from beginning to end! Did you always want to…
Welcome to the July recap! I also traveled to Lassen, Taipei, and Alaska this month, but somehow I also squeezed in all these other mini adventures while I was home in California. Take a little gander below! First, Brianne was back in San Francisco! She moved to Singapore in the spring, but we were so lucky…
I was just in Taiwan over Lunar New Year in February, so I had no plans to return so quickly– and in the middle of summer when the heat and humidity soar to the high 90s. However, my maternal grandmother, my last remaining grandparent, passed, and so I was grateful to have the time and…
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…
For Fourth of July weekend, I embarked on a lovely four-day road trip up north through Sacramento, Chico, Redding, McArthur Burney Falls, and eventually Lassen Volcanic National Park, before circling back down to the Bay. The trip starts with a visit to the California State Capitol… because as of last year I started visiting state…
Hannah and Eric have been together for six years, she the caring and headstrong East Coaster and he the thoughtful and open Midwesterner. When they decided to get married, they wanted to head to City Hall but make a day of it, bringing their families in to California and taking a bit of a tour…
It’s time to recap another month of adventures around California! With lots and lots of 360° photos along the way. Kicking it off with dinner at Pintoh in Oakland. Heat wave! It was over 90 degrees for way too many days in San Francisco. I headed to Mission Dolores Park with Cassie and Michael (and…
We are back with part two of Priyanka and Karthik’s beautiful wedding! Here on the main wedding day we have the baraat (complete with a horse ridden down the police-cordoned street), the ceremony (with gorgeous ombre chairs set in the round), and the reception (with a heartfelt father-daughter dance, lovely speeches, and a special performance…
