For a long time, Lazy Bear was an underground pop-up, delighting diners who were in the know with their communal dinner parties. In the last few weeks, it went from underground to brick and mortar. Reservations were of course a scramble, compounded by the fact that they went with Alinea’s ticketing system (nonrefundable, like concert tickets)….
They first met at business school in Philadelphia, where they founded a startup together, and they later moved to California, the land of startups, where Jenny joined the team at Pebble and Adam joined Google. The two of them were full of smiles on their wedding day. The lovely Buena Vista Winery served as a perfect…
Since the beginning of 2014, I have been working on my year-long personal project, Art for Art. Once a month, I find a fellow photographer whose work I admire, and I photograph them; they photograph me. View the full set of previous shoots in the series here: Art for Art. September’s shoot was with my friend, neighbor,…
Alcatraz is just one of those tourist destinations that I’ve never really felt compelled to visit. It’s right there in the middle of the Bay, so close and yet so far. But the thing that finally pushed me to buy a ferry ticket was hearing about a new art installation that just opened on the island: Ai…
For Jesse’s October visit to San Francisco, I got to do two tourists’ staples that I have still not managed to do in the six years that I’ve lived here: ride bikes across the Golden Gate Bridge and take the ferry out to Alcatraz Island. We’ll save Alcatraz for another post, but here’s our bike…
Katherine and Josh tied the knot as their friends and family looked on. And as they smiled and wiped away tears, an insistent whimper came from the back of the ceremony. There, behind all the rows of chairs, was Scout, their corgi pup who, having been left out of the center of attention, decided it…
Gem and Michael’s engagement session was a blend of all their favorite things: the ocean, the outdoors, dancing, a bit of rock climbing, and of course, each other. We met at Stinson Beach and had the loveliest time playing around against the cadence of the waves. See some favorites below: Anna Wu is a wedding…
A series of crazy coincidences conspired to set the scene on a beautifully sunny day in Napa for these two to finally meet one another. Unbeknownst to them, they had already had a few missed connections. But once they met, it was as if everything flowed to make up for the lost time. And what better way…
Today, we take a little break from the midst of wedding season to head up to Sonoma Valley for a harvest celebration, California-style. It was actually last week that I made this little day trip with my friends Tiffany and Dan. We spent the day touring and tasting at four different wineries– all part of…
From the first moment that Daniel saw Mariko decked out in her wedding finery, he let out a Daaayum girl! with a huge grin on his face. They both checked each other out, excited, happy, and a little bit silly. As we drove from the Claremont Hotel to their wedding venue at Tilden Park, the excitement of…
I just love seeing a finished album, the perfect way of capturing a wedding story for generations to come. We created a beautiful silver silk album for Michelle and Xavier. It’s a 10×10″ size, debossed with their names and wedding date. Michelle and her mother share such a special relationship. I love how it’s reflected…
I absolutely loved Grace and Andy’s unconventional approach to their wedding. Everyone says your wedding day flies by too quickly, said Andy, addressing the crowd. So we decided to drag this out as long as possible. They went for a two-day affair. Day one was an adorable ceremony and outdoor party at the Rengstorff House in Mountain…
