Agnes and Stephen usually live down in Southern California, but they spent a couple months up in San Francisco this summer and wanted to capture their short time here with a fun portrait session. What we didn’t anticipate was that baby Sullivan would throw a protest halfway through the session and completely fall asleep! Being…
Patty and David met in graduate school while they were in different programs (he in business school and she in the School of Natural Resources and Environment) but a friend who was doing a dual degree with both schools conveniently introduced them. After a stint with him in Chicago and her New York City, they’ve now…
Alyssa and Kevin actually met the old-fashioned way, just strangers at a bar. They couldn’t stop staring at each other from across the room all night, until one of Alyssa’s friends had to finally walk up to Kevin and ask him if he would stop staring and just talk to her already. Well, they started…
I walked up to find George a bundle of nerves, rendered quiet with his level of anticipation before the ceremony. He’s usually the talkative one, according to Miriam. But the excitement of the day was a lot to take in. They had a whole crew of family members and friends there to support them in…
Catherine and Anthony traveled to San Francisco from Indonesia, and they took the opportunity to book a pre-wedding photo session with me. We started in the iconic San Francisco City Hall and worked our way over to Land’s End and Sutro Baths. See just a couple highlights below: Anna Wu is a wedding and…
Silpa and Preet share a love of photography, and it was an absolute delight to revel with them in this beautiful California sunshine. We began in the Marin headlands with the perfect scenic view into the valley, and we ended the session over at Land’s End in San Francisco. See some of my favorites below!…

Meet Margaret and Lance, two absolute sweethearts. I love that we headed to their own neighborhood in San Francisco for their engagement session location. We started at the Filbert Street Steps and worked our way over to Pier 7 on the Embarcadero, snapping all sorts of wonderful portraits along the way. Anna Wu…
Yuzhi and Jason first met as interns at Facebook seven years ago. They were with a group of friends hiking Half Dome at Yosemite when something about surviving in the wilderness together sparked into the start of their romance. They still share the same love of the outdoors, but they’ve added DIY projects around the…
High school sweethearts. These two have been together for over a decade, ever since they met in high school in Indiana. They’ve grown up and been together through it all, even through seven years of long distance. Congratulations on the next phase of your relationship, Sheryl & Roger! Here’s a glimpse at their engagement session…
April was another month jam-packed with adventures around the Bay. I just passed the halfway mark of my 100 day project, “100 Bay Area Gems,” in which I illustrate and share some of my favorite finds from around the Bay. Part of this project means I also spend a lot of time scouting for more…
This day has been a long time coming for Nancy and Quoc. They’ve each had siblings who have thrown huge weddings with hundreds of guests, but they really just wanted something simple: no big celebration, just to be married. So they made their appointment for San Francisco City Hall, and it was just the two…
