THE
GALLERIES

As expected from an event planner, Juliette and her family showed up in impeccable style. I couldn’t help but admire the muted, neutral tones of their outfits, perfectly balanced when placed against one another but each could stand on its own and had a unique style. It was literally the gold standard for dressing for a family photoshoot.

When your 8 year old becomes the creative director for your family photoshoot. No wonder these photos came out like magic.

The kind of maternity photoshoot that every photographer dreams about. Anji reached out wanting to take photos to commemorate their life in their home and neighborhood in San Francisco, before the arrival of their first child. Perhaps my most urban shoot to date, and Id love to do many, many more of these.

Solnim and Josh’s wedding was a delightful blend of tradition and intimacy, starting with an afternoon ceremony at San Francisco City Hall. Atop the Mayors Balcony on the second floor, the couple, surrounded by their closest family and friends, exchanged vows they had written for one another.

Elena reached out to me to schedule a photoshoot to celebrate her youngest sons first birthday. Little did I know that she and her family would show up in the classiest fits of all the families at Filoli that day.

Julia and Adams wedding took place at Callippe Preserve Golf Course in Pleasanton. Their friends played a significant role in setting up the venue, tastefully decorated with florals and personalized signage designed by none other than Julia herself.

Shreya reached out wanting to do an ethereal/woodland vibe photoshoot for her maternity photos. Her beautiful blush dress complemented the lush backdrop perfectly!

As soon as Joan reached out, I knew that this was going to be an exciting, creative collaboration. She was hoping to combine her Korean heritage and Western upbringing. Joan and Justin wore their western Wedding attire the classic white dress and suit combination at the San Francisco Legion of Honor. We then got them changed into their Hanbook (Korean traditional clothes) and they had the whole set! The hat, the shoes – everything. Its like they walked out of a K-drama.

Jenny and Randy did a civil ceremony at the San Francisco City Hall ahead of their larger wedding. They invited just their family to celebrate together. Here are some photos of their ceremony, couple photos, and family group photos around the gorgeous City Hall building.

As a fine art wedding photographer in the San Francisco Bay Area, I’m always thrilled to capture love stories in our areas diverse venues. Tucked away in a residential Palo Alto neighborhood is the Elizabeth F. Gamble Garden, with an array of vibrant blooms and lush greenery especially in the summertime months. I was so excited when Narae and Namhoon reached out to me to photograph their intimate summer evening wedding at this Palo Alto venue.

This hidden gem of a Palo Alto wedding venue provided a lush backdrop for their sweet ceremony and reception. The golden hour light filtered through the foliage, and made for more romantic moments in an already cozy garden setting. For those considering the Elizabeth F. Gamble Garden for their Palo Alto wedding, I can attest to its charm as a truly magical venue.
