David and Hyein’s Downtown San Francisco Wedding

What a magical evening in downtown San Francisco! The way Hyein and David look at each other just radiates joy - the kind that makes everyone around them feel a bit lighter, a bit happier. Their celebration perfectly balanced the hotel's grand European architecture with their own modern romance, brought to life through soft pastel florals and feminine, elegant touches (those Dior shoes, though!).

Engagement photos at Crissy Field, San Francisco

When Kim first reached out, she mentioned that she loved how my photos captured the essence of the moment, in a romantic, dreamy way. I kept this in mind as we explored the west part of Crissy Field in the haze of the golden hour light. It was so easy to photograph these two — whether it was a simple prompt like “walk towards me holding hands” or a pose holding each other’s hands in front of the Golden Gate Bridge, they made every moment their own.

We chose to met at Crissy Field in the Presidio in San Francisco, as this location holds a lot of meaning for Dahee’s family. The splendid backdrop of the Golden Gate Bridge also makes for an iconic background; after all, this baby is very much made in San Francisco.

Joan & Justin - San Francisco Engagement Photoshoot

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. It’s like they walked out of a K-drama.
