Ashley & Michael | Legion of Honor + Sutro Baths Wedding Portraits

After their cute backyard wedding last year, Ashley and Michael donned their wedding outfits again for some more photos, this time at some iconic locations in San Francisco.

Vivian & Bin | San Francisco Wedding Portraits

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 … ]

Sarah & Ji’s Pre-Wedding Photos | Bay Area Wedding Photographer

These two high school sweethearts followed each other from China to Switzerland before settling down together in California. We spent the morning in and around the city capturing Sarah and Ji’s love, hitting lots of iconic San Francisco locations: the Legion of Honor, Crissy Field and the Golden Gate Bridge, the Palace of the Fine Arts, and Stanford campus. The weather was really great, with a bit of sun and a healthy dose of cloud cover, and the photos turned out great! I cannot wait to share these photos with you! [ read more … ]

Jizhe & Jin’s Stanford and San Francisco Pre-Wedding Photos | 旧金山湾区婚纱摄影师

We recently had the pleasure to work with Jizhe and Jin for their pre-wedding photos. We started off at Stanford University, where Jin goes to school, and a few of their friends even came to keep them company and cheer them on. Then we headed to San Francisco to shoot at both ends of the Golden Gate Bridge, at Crissy Field, Cavallo Point, and the Marin Headlands. Although these spots were packed with crowds of people that weekend, there was nothing some strategic shooting and editing couldn’t fix 🙂 We got a ton of great photos!

Merry Christmas everyone!

Max & Renee’s Anniversary & Bridal Session | Mountain View/Saratoga Romantic Photography

Max and Renee are our close friends. We had the privilege of being their maid of honor and best man at their wedding last August, and David actually proposed to me that night under a meteor shower right after their wedding so it was a special night for all of us. Since their one-year anniversary is approaching, we wanted to gift them a special photo session at Shoreline Park in Mountain View and the Hakone Japanese Gardens in Saratoga. Their friendship means a lot to us and we can’t wait for them to be a part of the bridal party at our wedding this October! Yay!!! Happy anniversary, Max and Renee!
