I’m delighted to share the trio of albums Alice and Mike created to commemorate their wedding day. I absolutely love this combination of a light grey linen with the gold foil on the covers. And inside we included 58 full pages of images from the day. Take a peek below. They opted for three medium…
Stephanie and Ben were wed exactly one year before this party. They eloped in Hawaii and always meant to throw a little reception for their families afterwards, but the timing just worked out better to wait a year and do it as an anniversary party. Though they’ve been together for thirteen years, this would be…
Sherry and David first met over coffee, not as a date but because Sherry was a prospective student for Kellogg and David had just finished his degree there. Well, they hit it off, and now that Sherry has also graduated from Kellogg, they’re starting their next chapter together here in California. We met up in…
This was the very first wedding held on this site, a beautiful home named Estate 8 just off the main road in Napa. And what a beautiful estate for entertaining! Take a peek below at the beautiful floral work by Hawthorn Flower Studio for this stunning soiree. A bridesmaid’s bouquet and a lovely ikebana-style arrangement….
I love having paint dates, which basically entail picking a location, bringing our watercolor kits, and painting for a couple hours. It’s a lovely break from the work day and a nice reminder to set aside time for painting just for fun. I began these with my friend Pamela who’s actually a professional watercolor illustrator,…
July was a month well spent with family and friends. Since we attended my cousin’s wedding in Vancouver in the middle of the month, I had my mom, aunt, and cousin in town for part of the month as well. And of course I filled in the rest of the time with plenty of mini…
Alyssa and Kevin actually met the old-fashioned way, just strangers at a bar. They couldn’t stop staring at each other from across the room all night, until one of Alyssa’s friends had to finally walk up to Kevin and ask him if he would stop staring and just talk to her already. Well, they started…
Isabella and Hugh chose wine country, a place they’ve loved visiting together, for their engagement session. We met up in Yountville and visited a couple different spots for this sunny evening of portraits. See some highlights below! We kick it off with the beautiful vineyards at Domaine Chandon. After some portraits around Domaine Chandon, we…
After my cousin’s wedding in Vancouver, some of us hopped on a ferry and headed to my aunt’s house in Victoria. It’s the capital of British Columbia and located on Vancouver Island, so the only ways to access it are by boat or by plane. I, for one, love this ferry ride! I managed…
I walked up to find George a bundle of nerves, rendered quiet with his level of anticipation before the ceremony. He’s usually the talkative one, according to Miriam. But the excitement of the day was a lot to take in. They had a whole crew of family members and friends there to support them in…
Tiffany and Greg made a whole suite of albums to commemorate their New Year’s Eve wedding: one for themselves, one for his parents, and one for hers. They chose a navy blue for the covers, in keeping with their wedding colors. And the covers were also fittingly debossed with custom calligraphy by Brown Fox Calligraphy,…
I headed to Vancouver with my mom and other family members in order to attend my cousin Teh’s wedding. In fact, this was the first time I’ve ever been the family at a wedding, not the photographer or a friend. It was a quick couple of days in Vancouver, and since I’ve already visited a…
