I love the warmth that just radiates off Sarah and Nathan. You might remember their dreamy fog-filled engagement session from last year. They’ll have their wedding in Hawaii later this year, but first we headed in to beautiful San Francisco City Hall to get them officially wed. Congratulations Sarah & Nathan! Anna Wu is a…
One of my favorite things about having such a flexible schedule is that I can set aside time to go out exploring in my own town. July was a month filled with all sorts of tours and mini adventures. I did a Symphony Hall & the Performing Arts Center tour with Tiffany, Fourth of July up…
Alie and Nat both love stage theater, and that’s how they met, in Alie’s home town of Santa Cruz. They have their theater reception wedding planned for later this fall. But they were so eager to be wed that in a matter of two weeks, they planned this wedding to happen first. They gathered their closest friends and family for…
Here’s a little glimpse of my June in the Bay: a craft night, a victory parade, a garden party, and a pile of rugs! First up, craft night at Do-Hee’s studio (which has since been sold, so she’s looking for a new space!) We all brought our own crafts to work on. Nicole’s was macrame! Kayla…
Theirs was a love story already eight years in the making by the time we reached the afternoon of July first, 2017. Eight years since they first met at the library in college, and they each felt that first spark and yet took months to acknowledge it fully and start their lives together. They supported each…
They met on a school trip to Argentina before their first year at Michigan for business school, and it wasn’t too long after that before they became inseparable, and they continued traveling the world together. Yao and Alan were wed at San Francisco City Hall, and we explored the building afterwards for some lovely portraits…
Everyday adventures around the Bay, from April to May! Open Studios in the Mission. This last little one is my watercolor kit! Happy Birthday, Tiffany! New ramen spot in Soma. Silly creative entrepreneur friends. Kev, Jenny and Ellie visit the Bay! At Tartine Manufactory. Randomly ran into Holly at Boba Guys! The next day, after Cheese…
Usually when I photograph a wedding, I’m not really involved with all the details of planning. I just show up on the day of to see how it all turned out. But now that my good friend Tiffany is getting married, I am getting to follow along with her whole planning process. I was excited to go with Tiffany…
Alyssa and Patrick have such warmth in the way they look at each other and a hearty dose of wit to bring out each other’s laughter and smiles. They have an adorable, energetic two-year-old daughter, and together with their families, they headed to San Francisco City Hall to officially be wed. Here are just a…
Reunited! With my dear friend Talya, who makes periodic appearances on this blog with all her glamorous portrait sessions. This time, we met up in Berlin, where she is now a full-time opera singer with Komische Oper Berlin. See just a couple of my favorites from our shoot below! Anna Wu is a wedding and…
We headed out to Sutro Baths for Megan and Andrew’s engagement session on what must have been the windiest day of the year. But despite the chilly air aggressively whipping us about, both of them were so wonderful and in good spirits the whole time. See just a few of my favorites from the session…
March! Champagne, museums, the symphony, and a couple gardens. See my local travelogues below. Cheers! Champagne date with Rachael, Amanda, & Bri. Bouquets to Art at the deYoung Museum: a variety of floral designers create their own installations inspired by the art in the museum. I thought this one was hilarious. Ready to climb!…
