I'm a San Francisco-based Fine Art photographer specializing in shooting film. I love creating images, and am honored to work with so many wonderful couples and families. I hope you enjoy my Journal – a record of current work, news and press. Please leave a note, it would be great to hear from you!

Helen + Hwa were married at the glamorous San Francisco landmark, The Bently Reserve. Before the party got started we drove around the City on a cable car (where I practiced my standing-in-a-moving-vehicle-whilst-shooting skills) and took some portraits at the beautiful Lyon Street stairs, one of my favorite photo spots. Helen was radiant and Hwa so sweet, what a lovely couple.

This fabulous black-tie affair was created by the amazing Jubilee Lau, with floral and event design by one of my favorites, Nancy Liu Chin.

Congrats Helen + Hwa!

When I was last at my parents' house, I came across my old Instamatic (the camera on the right). I brought it back to San Francisco and added it to my large collection of vintage cameras, one of my favorites being the camera on the left. They are such elegant devices, especially ones from the early 1900s.

Admiring old cameras really connects me to my love for film and the process of shooting it. While I am no longer spending hours in the darkroom, waiting patiently by the red glow for that magic moment when the image appears on paper, shimmering in the tray of chemicals, I still have that thrill when I get my film back from the lab. There's just something about that time spent waiting, between clicking the shutter and seeing my images, that brings me back to being a teenager in that darkroom, giddy with excitement, knowing I'd found the thing that would define my life.

Jean + David's sweet summer wedding is featured in the September issue of Brides magazine! Such a lovely couple - I really enjoyed working with them.

The wonderful Rebecca Réategui was at the helm... I loved the rich colors that Karen Axel of Tapestry Flowers used throughout the event. And of course, Annadel and Paula LeDuc Fine Catering are a flawless combination!
