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…
Pauline and Justin were wed on a beautifully sunny day in San Francisco, surrounded by family and friends. The day was an absolutely perfect blend of tears (25%) and laughter (75%), as this East Coast transplant and San Francisco native tied the knot. Loved the pink and coral mix-and-match bridesmaids’ dresses. They coordinated so perfectly! And…
Summer in the Bay! And more art-filled adventures. Here is just a glimpse of what June and July looked like for me. I got back to the Bay just in time for the Bay Area Book Festival in Berkeley featuring a whole panel on Taiwan. Author Shawna Yang Ryan signs some books, while…
I had so much fun running around one of my favorite places in San Francisco with Laura and Steve for their engagement session: the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art (SFMOMA)! Here are a few of my favorites below. Love that Serra installation. Love this one. So sweet! Light & bright under the oculus. Some Cy…
Art-filled adventures around the Bay from this April and May! First off, Pace Gallery teamLab in Menlo Park. The main exhibits are very instagrammable. They’re mostly different light installations that run on infinitely variable algorithms, so they are supposed to factor in human interaction, but they’re not immediately responsive or anything, so the interactive aspect is…
Happy very belated birthday, Tiffany! Back in April, my good friend Tiffany hosted a lobster feast for her birthday. The lobsters were flown in from Maine; Tiffany decorated with a loose nautical theme and her own calligraphy; we had the mesmerizing Oceans from Disney playing in the background; and it was wonderful, festive, and delicious. See…
Karen and Casey are such a warm, down-to-earth couple. Though they live together in Philadelphia, they traveled to San Francisco to be wed near where Karen grew up, and after the wedding, they embarked on a cross-country road trip, visiting as many National Parks as possible on their way back to Pennsylvania. Sounds like an amazing and unique…
I’m thrilled to share the second in my series of Portrait Parties. The idea is very simple: I gather a small group of people, we throw ourselves a little party, and I take portraits of everyone. Each participant contributes to the party too, and we all get to connect with each other without the pressures of…
