April was another month jam-packed with adventures around the Bay. I just passed the halfway mark of my 100 day project, “100 Bay Area Gems,” in which I illustrate and share some of my favorite finds from around the Bay. Part of this project means I also spend a lot of time scouting for more…
This day has been a long time coming for Nancy and Quoc. They’ve each had siblings who have thrown huge weddings with hundreds of guests, but they really just wanted something simple: no big celebration, just to be married. So they made their appointment for San Francisco City Hall, and it was just the two…
Tien and Jeremy’s lives and love story have taken them all around the world to more than a handful of countries, but now they’ve settled down in San Francisco, ready to embark on a whole new chapter together. We met up on a lovely day in San Francisco for a nice saunter through the woods…
It’s such a joy to have my wedding couples return for portraits in the years after the wedding day. I was so happy to have Shelley and Anthony meet me in my studio for some family portraits, including both sets of parents and the newest little member of the family, Cameron. Congratulations to you all!…
I adored working with Emily and Adithya for their Downtown Los Angeles engagement session. Adithya is currently living in Sacramento for the year while Emily lives in LA, so coordinating this shoot took a little bit of doing, especially when the original date we had set for last month ended up pouring rain and also…
I’ve been hard at work on my 100 day project, 100 Bay Area Gems, which involves both 1) illustrating and sharing my favorite spots in the Bay Area and 2) going around to more places on my bucket list to see if they might qualify as new gems! I’m very happy to share two of…
What better way to celebrate springtime than to surround yourself with gorgeous blooms? Ogle the beautiful floral designs of Hawthorn Flower Studio for this real wedding setup at the Burlingame Country Club. I had so much fun documenting Melanie’s beautiful work for her! I love all the hellebores and dogwoods in these various boutonnieres. …
Here’s a look back at March before the clock turns to May tomorrow! We kick it off with a lovely view of San Francisco. Celebrating the Duke win against UNC! Of course, we lost the next time we played them, but that’s ok. Elite Eight! Brunch with creative ladies. Our monthly accountability meeting, this time…
Here goes part two of my Taiwan trip, this time with a few more excursions to nearby towns around Taipei, and more explorations of the city as well. Here’s part 1 if you missed it. We kick it off with a view of Taipei 101! A quick stop by the Ju Ming museum that honors…
One morning at 10:30am, I received a text from H asking whether I might be free that afternoon… he and S were eloping! Of course I dropped everything and excitedly joined in to document the day. Yes, it was kind of last minute, but also not. S & H have been together for eight years,…
Back to the motherland with my mother. It has been five years since my last visit to Taiwan. It felt like I was overdue for a return, so Lunar New Year was the perfect time to join my mom on her annual trip to Taipei. In the span of two weeks, we trekked all over…
Up in the rolling hills of Mount Tamalpais, we walked and explored, wandering until the sun went down. It was a lovely respite for Kay and Michael, who flew in from Florida for a bit of California adventure. Anna Wu is a wedding and portrait photographer based in San Francisco. She creates beautiful, soft,…
