I have a deep love for blue ocean and blue sky. Maybe that was the reason I chose to move to San Francisco many years ago? It has been fogy, cold and not so much blue lately, when I see these images they put smile on my face. Sheryll and Marlon came to meet with...

There’s something flammable about Katie and Shawn’s engagement session… I had a big smile on my face editing these photos and was in need of lots of coffee and some post rock music… 😀 Katie and Sean are getting married in the beautiful Oceano Hotel.
Heather first met Sean when she was 14. Two young kids were in love – then chased their dreams separately. She showed me a picture of Sean when he was really young, I saw a young blonde handsome half naked dude in the photo. Wow! I yelled out loud. Where did the time go? I...
Herman watched youtube clips before he proposed – the crime scene was set on the ocean beach close to cliff house where the marathon ends, Wendy was going to run the marathon that day and he was planning to propose right after she reached the destination. Thank god there’s youtube! In a movie clip a...
Lily and Andreas met each other for the first time over 10 years ago. Under the wrong impression that Andreas was engaged with someone else, every time Lily met Andreas she was wondering where was his significant other…? Not until much later, they realized there wasn’t such a person, hence romance began… In the movie...
One warm afternoon in Berkeley; I was sitting in the car while D was driving us around town – I looked (and felt) like a tourist. Suddenly I saw something and randomly screamed: stop, stop please… can I take some photos here? Totally random places. I must have sounded absurd… although it must be hard...
Both Eddie and I agree that Jennifer is not only beautiful, but also strong and determined. She made things happen… the photo session was canceled due to weather; we somehow made it work when it stopped raining in the afternoon, although it was windy and freezing at Treasure Island. She was shaking but fearless in...
Dear Rudy and Tina, You two put smile on my face – when I look at your photographs, they way you two look and smile at each other, the way Rudy opens the door for Tina always, the way Tina gently flips Rudy’s shirt collar… there’s so much love cannot be hidden… 25 years… you...
To my dear friends Sharon and Viresh, I created these images for you, and for my heart. I hope they tell how much I love both of you. You two are so worldly, hard working, cultured, successful, the long list of good quality I see in you can go on and on… If it wasn’t...
Monique and Raymond were married in the city hall a few months ago. Yet there will be a grandeur wedding and this cute “engagement session” got all of us into the mood… Monique, Raymond and I ended up hanging out in a Chinese restaurant. After we were fed, photo session continued… the restaurant is right...
My dearest friends Ivory and Laurence, You both are loving, caring and so fun to be around – you are dearly to me like no other. Thanks for showing me around your part of town, romantic diner and ride in your cute red Mercedes – and I treasure every fun moment hanging out with you. Hope...
For over 10 years, Gena and Isaac’s friendship ever ends… they never lose each other as best friends, much later on, as Gena was gone for China for over a year, Isaac realized his love for Gena. For someone like me who have traveled from continent to continent multiple times – friends 10 years ago...
Eddie kept asking what time it was as he was walking with Ashley on the beach in Carmel looking for the perfect spot to propose sunset was what he was waiting for finally the moment arrived alright – with one knee down, holding the ring in his hand… trees of thousands of years were the...
Though Nicole and Patrick’s wedding is going to be in Napa, we still decided to go to the wine country for engagement session – true lovers for the wine country scene! We had much fun hanging out at the winery, look forward to your wedding day…
Cindy and David, you put smile on my face. You two are so young, energetic, loving, and so much fun. I love how the photos turned out, thanks for sharing the afternoon with me, in one of my favorite part of the world 红灯区，金门桥，海边。 我很爱这组其中的照片，很有种海枯石烂的感觉。他们好年轻啊！对未来有多少憧憬呢！所有在一起曾经度过的日子，结婚只是一个新的开始。未来还会有很多的开始，只是，要一起成长，一起去经历那些开始。 我自己感觉曾经经过了无数个开始。搬家到不同的大洲和城市，尝试去做不同的事情，学说不同的语言，结婚离婚，一直到现在的我独自住在旧金山，做我最喜欢的事情。每一次的开始都是憧憬无限，又是惧怕又是激动，但是一直都是好勇敢，很坚强的走过去这些开始，期待下一个开始。下一个会是什么呢？
When I saw Aundrea in her beautiful purple dress, I wowed: hey, my bride looks soooo hot! And of course Michael totally agreed with me, with a big smile on his face. Michael is such a considerate person, watching him being so sweet to Aundrea, I sighed, “now I know why Aundrea chose you!”
On the day Nick proposed, he took Rocio to see the show “Teatro ZinZanni”. Nick told Rocio that he got a “small gift” for her, while the whole day he was super nervous and abnormal. Later on, with 2 dozens of roses, all family members present and videotaping, Nick kneeled down with a ring in...
I love going to places where I haven’t been and creating unique look photos for my beloved couples. Stephanie and Rudy had their first date at Davy’s Hall, though although we paid for the tickets we were not able to take photos inside – well, we got a good one in the hall way before...
It was in the colorful Mission District, San Francisco, where Susana and David took me to have their engagement session done. We also went to China beach with the Golden Gate Bridge as the back ground, though thought these are far more original.
Sunny and Barney crack me up! They were one of the couples I “fell in love” with instantly when I met them, so funny… anyhow, on the engagement session day, Barney had to have a few shots before he could get into the mood of love… I could not stop laughing when shooting and editing...
Suzie and Matt are not only the hottest couple, but also have the cutest love story. here is Suzie’s version of it: East meets west. I traveled across country in search of adventure but little did I know I would meet the love of my life. He was the manager of the building I moved...
Let it flow and tell you Kim and Dan’s story – As you can see, their love started to brew in Madeleine Chocolate… Kim’s going to have a beautiful song to sing along the photos to tell their love story… will keep you updated on that! Dan and Kim met on a cold January day while...
It was such a fun session with Bic and Henry! I try not to suggest locations for engagement sessions anymore as I wanted to try new locations, and Bic and Henry absolutely surprised me… loved it. And this shot was getting a little bit Titanic…
We first went to Legion of Honor for the e session as it was Paul and Marie’s first date location, then Deyoung Museum – where the second date was… “As you can see, we were quite into museums!” I looked at Paul; he had his eyes on Marie with a big smile and so much...
Kay and Mike are soon getting married! They have been waiting for the “perfect weather” for the engagement session in the past 5 months. “The perfect weather” might not really exist – we figured when we get the perfect photos, the day would be just perfect. How many of us are perfect? My dear...
