Jia and Suyash are the warmest complements to each other. Suyash is laid back and an avid reader. According to Jia, he excels at sitting still. Meanwhile, Jia is passionate, energetic, and never sitting still. On their first trip together, they visited Cuba, where Jia discovered Suyash’s questionable packing choices, and Suyash was introduced to…
Daisy and Eric once walked down this stretch of coastline after Daisy had just met Eric’s entire extended family when she attended his grandmother’s birthday party. What a sweet place to return to in celebration of their engagement and upcoming wedding, remembering everything that has brought them here and being open to the journey ahead….
It was wonderful to meet Erin and Duc, for their engagement session over at Land’s End and Sutro Baths. Thanks to the Monday session, we had the place virtually to ourselves, and we also got lucky with the most beautiful golden hour light. See a few of my favorites below. Anna Wu is a wedding…
One long year after their intimate wedding ceremony atop Tiburon, Yannie and Howard were finally able to celebrate their marriage with the rest of their family and friends at their original venue in Sonoma. It was a beautiful day, full of special moments between loved ones so grateful for the chance to gather together. Even…
I loved meeting Mansi and Wes and trekking all over town for this fun engagement session. We covered a lot of ground, from Jackson Square through Chinatown and up to North Beach. San Francisco is still relatively new to these two, with Mansi having only joined Wes here right at the start of the pandemic,…
I’ve known Joyce pretty much since she was born, since our families were friends and we grew up occasionally meeting up in random parts of Michigan for holidays together. Although our mothers are still close friends, all of us kids have only kept loose tabs on each other since, so it was such an honor…
It has been quite the journey to get to this wedding celebration for Candace and Derek, but they have remained incredibly thoughtful and intentional with their choices every step of the way. Thanks to their considerate design and considerable patience, were all so lucky to be able to gather safely for both a casual, outdoor…
This was such a beautiful session, already two years in the making. Annsa and Arvind booked me back in 2019, and by the time they actually have their wedding, it will be three years later, in 2022. They have been incredibly thoughtful and wonderful through this crazy time, not only in the glimpses I’ve seen…
Nearly a decade ago, he was a groomsman and she a bridesmaid, and their worlds converged at their friends’ wedding. Paul asked Hillary to dance. This would soon kick off a long-distance romance that would take them around the world and from coast to coast. They were always together no matter how far apart they…
Weddings are back! Berkenesh and Norver have been patiently waiting to be wed. They were each working as doctors on the front lines of the Covid response– long distance, on opposite sides of the country, for the past year.

I am delighted to share today this hearty dose of sunset magic and a brilliant love story that survives nine years of long distance and includes a marriage proposal in a lavender field which each of them had driven over ten hours to reach, in the midst of a pandemic. Cynthia and Erik met in…
After a couple glorious days in Yosemite, we drove north to Lake Tahoe, where we had camping reservations for the rest of the week. We had such a wonderful time in Emerald Bay, and we really loved our campsite in the Eagle Point Campgrounds. Would 100% do it again, pandemic or not. We left through…
