About an hour south of San Francisco is a little hidden gem: a hostel on the sea at Pigeon Point Lighthouse. For $40, you get a room, access to a hot tub overlooking the ocean, and even wifi. Kim and Chris discovered this little hideaway together, and one day on a romantic stroll down to…
I loved exploring the north side of the Golden Gate with Liz and Ryan on their engagement session. We hiked up to Battery Spencer and down to Kirby Cove, with varied scenes and an abundance of beautiful sights all along the way. See a few of my favorites below! Anna Wu is a wedding and…
Surprise proposals are one of my absolute favorite things to photograph. The excitement! The thoughtful planning! I loved working with Oliver to help him capture his surprise for Molly. I’ll let them tell the story below. From Oliver: Molly and I met online (this was really my first time ever trying this). After a wonderful…
Shirin and Eric first met at SantaCon five years ago (with her dressed as Ms. Gingerbread and he as Super Santa), so Christmas is one of their favorite times of year. For the proposal, Eric wanted to pay tribute to Shirin’s old tradition of creating fairytale books for her family, so he taught himself how…
It was three years ago that I met up with Joyce and Keven for their engagement session on the Berkeley campus where they had first met and fallen in love. Later that year, they were wed in a beautiful Nestldown wedding. And now we were back at Berkeley for the next chapter in their love…
I am absolutely honored that five years in, I still get to meet up with Shau-Ru and Ed for their anniversary portraits each December. This time, when we were thinking up locations, the Cypress Tree Tunnel in Point Reyes popped in mind, so we trekked up north and met up there just before sunset. See just a…
I always love photographing surprise proposals, but this one was an especially fun treat, as the proposal was for my good friend Tiffany. She has long known that she wanted to marry Greg, and she has long said that she would want me there to photograph the proposal. Tiffany and I both travel a lot, so we actually share…
I’ll follow you to the ends of the earth… I met Maxine and Justin on a chilly (yet deceptively sunny) day in San Francisco for their engagement session at Sutro Baths. I absolutely loved photographing her bright red gown against the beautiful landscape. See some of my favorites below. Anna Wu is a wedding and portrait…
It had been sunny all weekend, but the fog rolled in just as we started our session, and the Golden Gate Bridge was nowhere to be seen. Sarah and Nathan didn’t even care. True San Franciscans, they chalked it up to normal conditions, and we carried on with our foggy, moody, absolutely beautiful engagement session….
I met up with Caila Quinn on a Thursday and showed her a couple of my favorite spots in San Francisco. We talked about family, love, how she ended up on The Bachelor, her plans for the future, and her hair secrets (just kidding; she didn’t tell me anything, but I can vouch for its…
Blog followers might recognize Bethany and Bryan from their super sweet proposal by the Golden Gate Bridge back in April. In the few months that have passed, Bethany has moved from Kentucky to join Bryan in San Francisco, ending years of long distance, and they’ve both settled in to their new lives together. I was thrilled to get…
It’s hard to believe it’s already been five years since Mayline and Kenneth were wed in Virginia. It’s been wonderful to keep in touch over the years; Mayline has since started her own wedding photography business, and Kenneth is an incredible web developer who has rescued me out of many a wordpress pickle. Since they were both…
