K & D | Mountain Home Inn Wedding at Mill Valley, CA

Kathy & Dan got married at the beautiful Mountain Home Inn in Mill Valley, CA. The hotel is located to the north of San Francisco bay area with a spectacular view of the bay.

The Mountain Home Inn is atop at Mt. Tamalpais ridgeline, bordering Muir Woods with cozy rooms. I took Kathy & Dan’s engagement photos in San Francisco in February this year. It was so good to work with them again. The second photographer Ryan helped me to take photos while Dan was getting ready, and I mainly focused on the bride. I took quite some photos of beautiful flowers and decoration for the wedding. I promise that you are going to see quite some of them soon.

The following is a sneak preview of the wedding. More photos are coming!

S & A | San Francisco Graffiti Engagement


Stephanie & Alberto got engaged! Moreover, I had the great pleasure taking engagement photos for them at the scenic San Francisco, CA. And on top of that, we brought the cute dog “Monkey” with us for the photo shoot. Monkey is so cute and protective. In the middle of the photo shoot, she even barked violently at a person who had the slight intention to steal my camera bag. Wait, it is not over yet. We had the engagement session at the famous Graffiti street in San Francisco! What else can you ask for photography? I just had tons of fun taking photos for the “family” at the unique location.

Their wedding is coming up at the scenic half moon bay area soon. I can’t wait to work with them again!

The following are some of favorite photos of the engagement session.

J & F | Sunnyvale Church Wedding


Jessica & Frank got married at Sunnyvale Church of Resurrection, Sunnyvale, California. This is a small but intimate wedding. I could feel the connection and love between them. Jessica got ready in Cypress hotel, Cupertino. Cypress hotel is one of my favorite wedding venues in south bay area. After that, I went to Frank’s house for groom’s get-ready photos. After the wedding ceremony, we went to the local park in Sunnyvale for more romantic photos. The wedding reception is at Frank’s place also. Thanks for my new second photographer Ryan’s help during the photo shoot.

The following are some of my favorite photos from this wedding.

J & Q | San Francisco Wedding Dress/ Bridal Portraits

Jessica & Qian are getting married in China soon. So they contacted me for a wedding dress/bridal portrait session in the scenic San Francisco bay area before their wedding. It is a Chinese tradition to take some photos before the wedding when the girl wears wedding dress and the boy wears a formal suit. We first started from Stanford University in Palo Alto. The flowers were blooming and I got some of beautiful photos when Jessica was laying down among the flowers. After that, we headed to San Francisco for more pictures. We visited the Palace of Fine Arts, the Legion of Honor and the last stop is Baker beach.

The following are some of my favorite photos of the wedding dress/bridal portrait session.
