It’s a maze of a city, with narrow, meandering alleys and high walls all around. We initially thought we might just wander and explore Fes ourselves, but as soon as we arrived and saw what we were in for, we quickly changed our minds and joined the walking tour that Godwin had booked for the next…
Elizabeth and Derek are a wonderful pair of old souls who share a love of rugby, architecture, old films, and their Golden Retriever Stella. I met up with them in the Oakland hills for their engagement session at Joaquin Miller Park. Despite an overcast day, we got to create some beautiful portraits lit up with personality. See…
I headed back to Cincinnati in early November when my photograph was featured in the Contemporary Arts Center downtown. I meant to blog the rest of my Cincinnati trip a few weeks ago, but it got lost in my blog drafts, so here goes! Scenes from around town in Cincinnati, Ohio: You can also check out…
This is one of my favorite traditions each December: photographing Shau-ru & Ed and their dog Ellie. We have a whole series of wonderful portrait sessions at this point. This year, for their fourth wedding anniversary, we headed to Baker Beach and let Ellie frolick in the sand (one of her favorite things to do) with the…
This was such a beautiful album– perfect in the large 12-inch square size– featuring Ninna and Eric’s gorgeous Chicago wedding. They selected the gunmetal gray leather album with their names and wedding date debossed on the cover. Love all these layouts! It’s such a pleasure to see weddings culminate in these heirloom creations. Anna Wu is…
We piled into the Nissan Pathfinder, six people in the seven-seater and all our luggage strapped on top, and we departed Marrakesh, which was no small feat, with Godwin pulling some very impressive maneuverability skills through the very narrow alleys of the medina. Our destination for day three was Fes, a six-hour drive, but with an afternoon…
Morocco! We were perhaps a bit ambitious with our itinerary, traveling all across the country in just one week, but then again, we couldn’t really bear parting with any of our excursions either. So we packed in as much tile, tagine, and mint tea as we could into less than seven days. Our flights were…
This was such a sweet idea for a 40th anniversary. Everyone was in town for Thanksgiving, so we gathered at the Palace of Fine Arts in San Francisco for some portraits of the whole Yam family. The four in the middle are the original Yams, with their spouses and 3-year-old Ayla too. So fun! Such a wonderful…
I love this family! I first photographed Raquel and Andy for their engagement session and their wedding over four years ago. They have since added two adorable little ones to their family, and when I made a brief trip to Atlanta last month, I got to meet and photograph the whole crew. Savvy blog readers might also…
Say hello again to my beautiful friend Talya, who makes regular appearances on this blog. We met up for a mini photo session while I was back in Cincinnati this fall. See just a glimpse of the lovely opera singer below! Anna Wu is a wedding and portrait photographer based in the San Francisco Bay Area but often…
We created three beautiful heirloom albums for Adrienne and Jenton’s wedding last year: one medium 10″ album and two 6″ mini albums for their parents, all in gunmetal leather. I thought it fitting to sneak in a purple orchid since their venue was the Purple Orchid Inn too. Take a look below! Love! Anna…
On a lovely October day, I gathered a couple of my friends for a little hike around San Francisco. We started at Lover’s Point in the Presidio and wandered our way over to Ocean Beach. So many gorgeous sights to see. Dan, me, Tiffany, and Paul. Move here soon, Tiffany! Sneaking in two photos from Mt….
