Since they got married on Valentine’s Day, they got interviewed by the news about why they chose their specific date. Chris responded about how it was the national holiday of love! Nia answered that actually, she booked the date because that’s when City Hall’s website said they had a time availability. They told the news […]

Chris & Nia’s Valentine’s Day SF City Hall Wedding

The best way I can think of to describe Melissa and Scott is “chill.” For example… Melissa had originally told me, “I love… how you capture light” and I was so excited to give her the glowy result I also love. However, it has been raining lots recently in the Bay, so I sent inspiration […]

Melissa & Scott’s Engagement Photos at Pier 7, San Francisco

Nathan and Riza have traveled far to get married. Nathan left Idaho to serve his mission in the Philippines. He returned later and met Riza in Manila. They got engaged and since the Idaho temple is under construction, they chose to get married in Salt Lake City. This is Riza’s first experience with snow – […]

Salt Lake Temple Wedding Winter Caili Chung Photography

Scott and Andie are so energetic, so hilarious, and so kind – the type of people who make this job a DREAM. All their friends and family reflected their same joy. On a day that was supposed to be all about them, Scott and Andie spent all their time putting other people first. I was […]

Scott and Andie’s Winter Wedding at Salt Lake Temple & Eldredge Manor

Okay, yes it’s December. But there was this gorgeous orange tree that diffused the light so perfectly that we decided to pretend it was October and just run with it. Dark lips and booties are a must when the weather gets colder and I love both

We planned a ski trip to Jackson Hole together aaaaand I broke my foot the week before haha. I couldn’t ski, but I still could take photos! On crutches. People tend to neglect taking senior photos after the kids are in college and before weddings, but when college kids are this beautiful it would be […]

At home engagement photos San Francisco

I was pretty dang excited when Clarissa said that she liked lifestyle at-home couple photos. We did some research for inspirational shoots online and she wasn’t feeling most at-home photoshoots of cookie baking and pillow fights that the internet suggested. She wanted something more casual and realistic. I was 100% willing to oblige. Nonetheless, I […]

Urban Salt Lake City Engagement Photography Caili Chung

I can’t imagine a better fall couple photoshoot than one that features orange leaves, sweaters, and gigantic boots. Thank you, Vicki and Kevin, for being so absolutely fabulous during this November morning. They were so much fun to shoot that their one hour shoot accidentally turned into two hours without anyone noticing. I would do […]

Vicki & Kevin’s Fall Engagements at Utah State Capital & Memory Grove

My first 2017 Senior and I couldn’t be happier with her. I don’t think I’ve ever laughed so much at a photo shoot. The first thing she does is to strike a ridiculous pose and demand, “Tell me I’m beautiful ;)” Remember the color wheel from those elementary school art classes? Me neither. But if […]

Emily’s Fall Mountain Senior Session | Judge High School

This is my first engagement shoot. In advance, I sent my couple an “Engagement Style Guide” beforehand. It’s a giant PDF with pictures and text describing what clothing photographs the best and inspiration on how to style your engagement photos. I wasn’t positive how it would be received, but when I first saw my couple, […]
