It’s been such a long time coming– I am so excited to show off my brand new office space! I scouted out nearly every option, from sticking to coffee shops (free!) to joining coworking spaces (not flexible enough) to leasing my own commercial space (too expensive), but none really fit my needs. That is, until…
My boyfriend is quite the sweetheart. For my birthday, Jesse took me out to Quince, a newly-minted two-star Michelin restaurant in San Francisco (upgraded from one star last year). The service was impeccable, the food of course delightful, but most notably, the atmosphere was warm and inviting, and not overly pretentious. Jesse even had them…
Stepping into the nave of Grace Cathedral, I let the sense of awe wash over me. It would be enough to walk into any church this beautiful, with the elegant stained glass and the expansive space, but there’s something extra special here: twenty miles of beautifully colored ribbons hanging from the ceiling. It is quietly…
Many thanks go to my friends and to my boyfriend for celebrating my birthday with me. Jesse flew in for a few days, escaping the snow in New York and trading it in for some sunny California adventures instead. Our first meal: Roka Akor, a Japanese robataya house. We got seated at the bar, right…
Thank you to my wonderful boyfriend Jesse for these lovely bouquets! He had the purple bouquet delivered to my door via FTD, and then surprised me with a second arrangement that was waiting for me at my office, which also happens to be a florist’s shop! Gorgeous, no? =) Anna Wu is a wedding a…

For the fifth time this year (since the beginning of 2014), we are featured on Style Me Pretty! Deirdre and Damien’s “how they met” story is the funniest. Read it all in the link below. View full post and gallery here: Style Me Pretty: San Francisco Engagement
Edit: This giveaway is now closed. Winners will be announced on March 1, 2014. I am thrilled to announce a Same-Sex Wedding Giveaway, coast to coast, open to both San Francisco (my home base) and New York City. This project has been in the back of my mind for a very long time now. I’ve…
I am often guilty of taking tons of photos when I travel elsewhere but totally neglecting my own beautiful surroundings when I’m back in California. The solution? A hearty dose of staycation (vacationing at home!). My boyfriend Jesse was coming to San Francisco for a business conference, just as he did last year (when we…
Yali is quiet, genuine, caring, while Sriram is laid-back, more outgoing, and always able to make her laugh. When they met at work, they found balance and a place in each other’s hearts. I met these two on a sunny but windy-cold day in San Francisco for some engagement photos by the Legion of Honor…
Courtney and Nick are so down to earth and a joy to be around. We met up in San Francisco’s Golden Gate Park and roamed around, making stops in the Japanese Tea Garden, where they went on the day of Nick’s proposal, and around the Conservatory of Flowers as well. It was an incredibly foggy…
Julie and Jeremy’s proposal story, as told by them: Jeremy proposed to Julie exactly on their three year anniversary in front of the Golden Gate Bridge (this is where they first asked each other out!). Julie sleeps in on weekends, so Jeremy woke up early and frantically checked the weather all morning on public webcams…
