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 […]

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 […]

“Sometimes during college, Tram would ask me ‘When are we going to get married?’ but I didn’t even know what I was having for lunch! Years later, I can now confidently answer that I think we’re going to be married in a few minutes.” ^^A paraphrase from Allen’s vows Tram and Allen are the best. […]

I met Joe and Courtney through Steve, one of Joe’s childhood friends. Steve and I shot weddings together in early 2018 before he moved to Southern California. It was so much fun to see him again, this time in front of the camera! Steven was a dope groomsman and he really introduced me to a […]

I was so looking forward to Rebecca and Brett’s wedding, and it did not disappoint! Before the ceremony, Rebecca’s dad told me the wedding was finally here!

Katie and Daniel are just incredible humans. On top of being so talented, intelligent, charismatic, and beautiful, they also threw the most drool-worthy event.

I knew Sam and Sam were absolutely incredible from our very first phone call. We talked for over an hour, and I loved how well they supported and built off of each other. Last weekend, I finally got to party with them at the celebration they had described to me months ago. It was even […]
