A month after my last trip to New York City, I was back again in May to photograph a lovely wedding and to enjoy more springtime adventures. We kick off the post with afternoon tea at Laduree in Soho! The famous Laduree is undeniably cute, but the already-expensive macarons ($2.85 I believe) jump to $3.15…
I took the quick hour-long flight from Northern California to Southern this past weekend to attend a wedding with my boyfriend Jesse and his family. Judy and Jeff’s wedding was a beautiful Californian soiree at the Muckenthaler Mansion in Fullerton. And the next day, I got to meet up with my friends over in Alhambra…
We took the bus from New York to Boston, sleeping through most of the four-hour ride. Once we arrived, Jesse and I got ourselves over to our friend Emily’s place, and we decompressed until it was time for dinner at Cinquecento just down the street. Between the beautiful spring blossoms everywhere and the spirit of Easter…
Springtime in New York City sure beats every other season in New York. Never mind the fact that there was still snow on the ground when I arrived in April. What the air still lacked in warmth, it made up for with a sense of promise. Cherry and magnolia blossoms were out in full force,…
Together, they are warm, silly, and so in love. Their joy is positively contagious. I met up with Adrienne and Jenton for some springtime portraits all over the Berkeley campus, and we had so much fun and so many laughs together. I’m already looking forward to their wedding this fall! Anna Wu is a…
We were certainly greeted by the cold Nordic air once we arrived in Denmark. But with its cutely colored houses lined up along the water, Copenhagen certainly had more than enough charm to make up for the weather. It was probably my favorite city of the three we visited on our Europe trip. Our first…
The air was crisp, the temperature oscillating between a generous warmth in the sun and a slight chill in the shade. I was easily charmed by San Sebastian with its clear-green waters arranged in a U-shaped sound and its historic town nearby. We started walking from our airbnb apartment to the east of the sound and worked…
Everything about La Sagrada Familia is incredible. Part of my awe is of course owed to the building itself, with its utterly unprecedented forms and endless elements of craftsmanship and symbolism on every surface and in every corner. But I am also left with this lingering thought… What is it that allowed Gaudi to become…
Our red fold-up bicycles wavered over the cobblestone surface as the four of us each rode in small circles, getting acclimated to our new mode of transportation. Soon, we would be following our guide Pablo, navigating the narrow, serpentine alleys of the old city, slowing to a crawl to avoid the pedestrians or bursting forward…
Trying to time your arrival in Washington, D.C. to coincide with the peak bloom of the cherry blossoms is no small task. Each year, thousands of these beautiful trees bloom for just a couple weeks, with “peak bloom” lasting as short as a couple days. In the weeks leading up to my trip, the cherry…
They share a love of travel and are often seeking new adventures. When they set out to go hiking in Argentine Patagonia, Raquel thought a proposal might be in the works, but she knew the custom ring they had gone shopping for couldn’t be ordered in time, so she let her suspicions slide. And then,…
I am quickly falling behind on blogging because I am off enjoying Atlanta with its gorgeous springtime weather and blooms all around. Normally you can find all my sneak peeks on my Facebook page, but I am treating you all to a sneak peek right here today. Evy and Joe are amazing, amazing people, and…
