Fairview Napa Wedding California Caili Chung

The more weddings you go to, the more of a wedding expert you become. If you’re a wedding photographer, you likely have much more wedding knowledge experience than your bride and groom and therefore can (and should) help them navigate the waters. Creating a list of other wedding vendors that you highly recommend is a free way to help […]

Your Preferred Vendor List: A Free Way to that Everyone Wins

These sisters have a special place in my heart. Caity is an old friend of mine and my very first paying photography client. I took her high school senior photos 4 years ago and now she’s a senior in college! Craziness… I caught up with her while she was on winter break. We planned to […]

Caity & Maddie’s Winter Sister Shoot in Park City

It’s the beginning of a New Year (ish. It’s still January, okay???) and everyone is inspired to self-improve. Myself included. In the past, I’ve really struggled with goal setting. At the beginning of 2018, I wrote out a list of everything I wanted to accomplish. These dreams had deadlines and dollar signs and other specific […]

It’s a New Year – Let’s Talk About Setting Goals

On the last day of our trip, my family took an earlier flight from Oahu back to the mainland and left me alone in Hawaii for a couple of hours. No complaints here! I reached out to a local wedding planner and told her I was itching to shoot in paradise. She was super nice […]

Hawaii Beach Vow Renewal

Berkeley Botanical Gardens is beautiful, but it pales in comparison to this friend group! I met these girls through dance at Head Royce and adored them instantly. Not only are they incredibly talented dancers, but they’re also funny, kind, and down to earth. This shoot was all play and I just love everything we captured. […]

Diana & Sean’s Purple and Gold Wedding at Napa Fairview

It was an absolute JOY to be with Dalena and Brian on their wedding day this past Saturday! They threw a wedding with two tea ceremonies and four hundred guests and zero wedding planners and everything pretty much went smoothly! A seriously impressive feat!! Their friends and family were amazingly helpful and kind, and I’m […]

Brian & Dalena’s San Francisco Wedding at AC Hotel and HL Peninsula

I love the Bay Area. I moved here a year ago to start college at UC Berkeley and photography has given me an opportunity to get out and explore some of the gorgeous places around. We have beaches and hills and trees and urban architecture and everything else you could possibly want. San Francisco is […]

Fort Mason Wedding San Francisco Caili Chung

The night before this wedding, I had a rock climbing accident, went to urgent care, and got a boot lol. I was a little worried about being on my feet for 8 hours, but I didn’t even consider not coming through. Michelle and Casey are the sweetest humans and being a part of their wedding […]
