I absolutely love finishing off a wedding order with a beautiful heirloom album. It’s such a beautiful way of telling the story of a wedding day in a tangible form. For their wedding album, Bridgette and Ryan chose a gorgeous gray silk and the medium 10×10″ size. I always love custom debossing the cover. Bridgette…
We took the bus from New York to Boston, sleeping through most of the four-hour ride. Once we arrived, Jesse and I got ourselves over to our friend Emily’s place, and we decompressed until it was time for dinner at Cinquecento just down the street. Between the beautiful spring blossoms everywhere and the spirit of Easter…
Springtime in New York City sure beats every other season in New York. Never mind the fact that there was still snow on the ground when I arrived in April. What the air still lacked in warmth, it made up for with a sense of promise. Cherry and magnolia blossoms were out in full force,…
I flew over to New York City and took a bus with Jesse up to Boston so we could join our friend Bob in celebrating his birthday in style! This is a small departure from my usual flowery posts and wedding photos, but it’s really just a better glimpse at my photojournalistic side… with plenty of epic party…
Together, they are warm, silly, and so in love. Their joy is positively contagious. I met up with Adrienne and Jenton for some springtime portraits all over the Berkeley campus, and we had so much fun and so many laughs together. I’m already looking forward to their wedding this fall! Anna Wu is a…
I’m excited to welcome my friend Pei, who’s guest blogging with us today. Pei is a freelance costume and production designer in Los Angeles, and she recently launched her own lifestyle blog, Have Patience. I love Pei’s ability to combine casual clothing with elegance, and I thought she would be the perfect person to help…
We were certainly greeted by the cold Nordic air once we arrived in Denmark. But with its cutely colored houses lined up along the water, Copenhagen certainly had more than enough charm to make up for the weather. It was probably my favorite city of the three we visited on our Europe trip. Our first…
We were initially a bit confused as we wandered along the row of identical looking warehouses. Jesse spotted a chef coming out of a building nearby asked if he knew where Noma was, to which the chef quickly responded, “No.” (Awkward pause, as we stood there looking lost.) “Just kidding, I work there!” He walked…
Rebecca is one of the smartest yet humblest people that I know. We were friends from college, and then we were roommates my first two years living in California. It was autumn in our first year as roommates when Rebecca first met Dave, and they clicked immediately. What could have been a brief first date stretched…
The air was crisp, the temperature oscillating between a generous warmth in the sun and a slight chill in the shade. I was easily charmed by San Sebastian with its clear-green waters arranged in a U-shaped sound and its historic town nearby. We started walking from our airbnb apartment to the east of the sound and worked…
They met on twitter before twitter was even popular. Both software developers, Jane and Kevin found their perfect matches in one another. They share a love of cartoons and comics, which was manifested in an Adventure Time-themed cake at their wedding. They also love their adopted cat, who willingly supervised the scene as they got…
Theirs was a whirlwind romance. Yoon, originally from Korea, was in Iowa for graduate school, while Steve, from Indiana, had found his way to Iowa for work. They were set up on a blind date and knew immediately that they had found something special. By their fifth date, Yoon was flying across the country to meet…
