I’ve been really excited about Meann & Samson’s pre-wedding shoot for a long time — the pair reached out to me last year and had been planning this for more than six months! They had already taken a set of formal, indoor pre-wedding photos near their home in Hong Kong, and were looking for a more fun, outdoor feel here, which is right up my alley 🙂 [ read more … ]

Emily & Steve: part silly, part fun, and all smiles 😀 Engagement sessions are always a perfect opportunity for our couples and us to get to know each other a bit before the wedding day, and they’re also a great time to just relax, have fun, and enjoy taking photos in a beautiful location.

This was actually our first time ever photographing a Bernal Heights engagement session, and it was absolutely perfect. [ read more … ]

Purbasa & Nava first met in 2014, not long after she had moved to the SF Bay Area from the midwest. They went on their first date at the Punchline comedy club, and for six months, developed their relationship and enjoyed their time together in the Bay Area — stargazing at Ed Levine County Park, traveling, trying new restaurants, and cooking together. Although Purbasa had to move back to the midwest for work, they kept their long-distance relationship strong. (Further proof that long-distance can work!) [ read more … ]

Vivian and Bin were here in San Francisco for their Christmas vacation and wanted some wedding portraits done in the city. You probably wouldn’t believe me if I tell you it was drizzling the whole time during our photo shoot, but their photos turned out gorgeous! The clouds made a perfect backdrop for their outdoor portraits, and of course, San Francisco City Hall is always beautiful no matter the weather. Despite the number of tourists there we got a lot of quiet, intimate photos! [ read more … ]

I had SUCH a fun session with Christian and Sonia! We met at the Bi-Rite Creamery and got some ice cream to kick off the fun. We then walked to Dolores Park where there must have been a thousand people crowded under the warm sunlight. We took a detour (ahem!) across a fence, and found a perfect spot in a quiet section with just the three of us. Perfect time for some champagne! Then… how about a confetti fight in front of the colorful graffiti wall to end the session? [ read more … ]
