Nora | Baby Photography :: San Jose, California

As a wedding photographer, I don’t usually have a chance to meet the flower girl before a wedding. I was so happy to have met Nora a few days before her Uncle Ryan was to marry Yoomi. The photo shoot was one of the fastest shoots I’ve ever done! Nora was such a joy to work with, and she was so adorable! I am so happy to introduce Nora and Katie and some of my favorite photos from our baby session.

Ryan + Yoomi | San Francisco, California Engagement Photography

I had such a wonderful time photographing Yoomi and Ryan during our engagement session. It was a packed day, 3 locations 3 dress changes and 4 hours to do. We started at the Palace of Fine Arts, it was such nice place! minus all the tourist…but we were able to take some shot before more tour buses came through.

Our Second location and dress change was at Baker Beach in San Francisco, California. Ryan and Yoomi told me they were up for anything, so I planned for them to jump and frolic in the water but I was warned before hand about the temperature of the water but in we went anyway…FREEZING! I just want to take this time to thank Ryan and Yoomi cause they were such great sports about everything.

Our last and final location was at Baume’ Restaurant in Palo Alto, California were the two work as pastry chefs. These incredible chefs whipped up a plated dessert in no time to place the ring on. I was entranced by their skill and imagination.

Since Yoomi and Ryan are chefs in Palo Alto, California, what better place to have our engagement session than in a professional Kitchen!

That's right this engagement ring is Yoomi's!

It was a pleasure photographing you two, the passion you two share for each other is why I love my job.

Phish & PT | Engagement Photography Santa Clara, California

Please allow me to introduce Phuong and Phuong. Nope that is not a typing error, this gorgeous couple has the same name! If that isn’t destiny I don’t know what is. They are also know as Phish and PT, which made it a little bit smoother when it came to directing them.
