We bid our early morning farewells to New Zealand and headed to Australia; specifically, Hamilton Island, a small resort island near the Great Barrier Reef. It’s the kind of place where golf carts are the mode of transportation and housing comes mostly in the form of timeshares and hotels. On our agenda: SCUBA diving in the Great…
Heirloom wedding albums are the perfect way to commemorate your wedding story for generations to come. I love when couples opt to create a whole suite of albums to share with parents and loved ones as well. For Ashley and Chad, we created one medium (10″) album; one small (8″) album; and two mini (6″) albums. The…
Hobbiton! On our last day in New Zealand, we made the three hour drive from Auckland down to Hobbiton, the famed set of The Lord of the Rings. We went for the full Hobbiton feast, with tours before and after sunset. The set is actually on a sheep farm. When the location scouts initially inquired,…
We continue my journey through New Zealand as Jon, Pei, and I flew from Queenstown in South Island back up to Auckland in North Island and were joined by Young, Jessica, Karen, and Sam. It was a drastic change of scenery; despite being surrounded by plenty of nature, Auckland itself is very much a city. Breakfast at…
This is the second part of many in my journey through New Zealand and Australia. We pick up on Day 3 of our time in South Island, and the beautiful scenery continues. After lunch in Queenstown, we drove up to Wanaka (rhymes with Hannukah), where we would stay that night. We opted for a short…
New Zealand’s South Island is incredibly scenic. It’s the kind of setting that lends itself to descriptions like ‘awe-inspiring,’ ‘spectacular,’ ‘resplendent.’ It’s almost too much to take in when you’re actually there, when every turn reveals a different, equally impressive landscape. Now, in hindsight, having placed it in context with the rest of my three-week trip through New…
Here’s a glimpse at another beautiful wedding album! Stephanie and Ian were wed at the Berkeley City Club and had beautiful art deco details in their decor that went perfectly with this Tiffany blue album cover. I always love a clean, timeless layout. No overlays or crazy borders; just beautiful images on a white background….
Cherry blossoms, magnolias, the art museum, and cute shops. Just a few frames from my time in Philadelphia this spring! Anna Wu is a wedding and portrait photographer based in San Francisco but often traveling and working around the world. She creates beautiful, soft, and timeless imagery while capturing the most fleeting of moments. View…
I absolutely loved working with Shelley and Anthony for their gorgeous engagement session on Mount Tamalpais. Anthony spends every weekend biking long distances in the area, and they were able to scout out some amazing locations for us to explore on our shoot. Stunning all around. Anna Wu is a wedding and portrait photographer based…
I am thrilled to share Katherine and Josh’s beautiful wedding albums today. They opted for a turquoise mist silk cover, which coordinated perfectly with their wedding colors. We created one 10-inch album for Katherine and Josh and two 6-inch albums for their parents. I love the mini albums, because despite their name, they are still…
We’ve arrived at part two of Barbara and George’s beautiful wedding! In part one, we saw the Chinese tea ceremony and the Indian Hindu ceremony. And in part two, we have the full Christian ceremony and the reception! Wedding Vendors: Photographer: Anna Wu Photography Hair & Makeup: Chau Nguyen Florist: Pretty in Pink Events Catering:…
This was such a beautiful day packed with different wedding traditions: three different ceremonies with five different dresses, each reflecting a different aspect of Barbara and George’s heritage. And through it all ran a deep sense of love and family and treasuring the time we have together. See part one, with the Chinese Tea Ceremony…
