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.

Intimate Summer Wedding at Gamble Garden, Palo Alto
As a fine art wedding photographer in the San Francisco Bay Area, I'm always thrilled to capture love stories in our area’s 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.
