Sand Rock Farm | Santa Cruz Bay Area California Wedding

“It was just as he said, so beautiful, so full of beauty.
A day filled with tears and laughter.
A gathering of the most important people in our lives, from every chapter of who we’ve been.
It gave us the courage to express love, to say the things we don’t always know how to say.

Many people say weddings are expensive, time-consuming, and complicated.
And yes, all of that is true.
But the memories stay with you far longer than you expect.
Every single moment from that day feels irreplaceable.

We feel incredibly lucky and grateful,to have gathered our families together in both December and June,and to have friends from all over come together in one place.

A wedding feels like a gentle reminder,to cherish, and to look back at everything that brought us here.
And we’re so thankful to have had @jimleevision , whose work we’ve always admired,to document this day for us.

To our family and friends, thank you for surrounding us with so much love and making this day truly special.”

Deer Park Villa | Marin County Bay Area California Wedding

On the morning of the wedding, a pair of deer wandered quietly through the venue as if they had come to witness the day, like a gentle blessing offered by the forest itself.

Light came through the canopy in pieces.
Flowers hung mid-air; everything paused for just a second. And there, beneath the redwoods, they said yes.

By the time the lights came on and the toasts turned into laughter, it didn’t feel like a wedding anymore. It felt like a gathering of lives that had been intersecting for years, finally sitting still for a moment to witness this one chapter begin.

San Francisco Engagement | Chinatown, Japanese Tea Garden and Baker Beach

She loves the tranquil architecture of Japanese gardens, and is equally drawn to the subtlety and romance of Chinese dramas.
And so came the red outfits, the paper umbrella, and that moment beneath the wishing tree in Chinatown where they wrote down their shared “us.”

From bustling little shops to serene gardens, and then to the edge where waves crash against rugged rocks, this was more than just a photoshoot, it felt like they were slowly—dheere dheere—discovering a language that belongs only to them, somewhere between cultures.

As the city’s iconic landmarks quietly slipped into the frame,
their story naturally settled into the winds of San Francisco.
With the waves receding beneath their feet, they turned the courage of climbing across the rocks into a scene as grand as something out of National Geographic.

San Francisco City Hall | San Francisco Bay Area Wedding

A wedding could have been a solemn affair. They chose to make it something worth laughing about.

After the private ceremony, everyone moved to Palette Tea House. Dim sum baskets arrived one after another, and so did the laughter. Some were focused on their Bingo cards, others were busy cheering whenever the couple won. The little gifts they had prepared felt less like prizes and more like an excuse for everyone to show up fully for the day.

When the banquet wound down, we wandered into Chinatown. Painted walls, old posters, the worn edges of street corners. The city felt suddenly close, and very lived-in. Every bit of that day became the best chapter of their story.

San Francisco Engagement | Saint Frank Coffee, Tennis and Beach

如果了解舊金山,就會知道全天像夏天一樣的天氣是多麼幸運。

女生可以穿起她最喜歡的裙子,男生換上當時在夏威夷求婚的造型,在咖啡廳和海邊慢慢留下他們的畫面,相信也勾起了他們當時求婚的甜蜜回憶。

為了不讓拍攝的故事千篇一律,我們也加入了他們最喜歡的運動項目,拍攝的同時打上一場友誼賽,享受陽光下揮灑汗水的樂趣。

Jacuzzi Family Vineyards | Sonoma Napa Valley Wedding

Our couple took creativity to a whole new level — the video segment of their wedding was transformed into a mesmerizing kaleidoscope dome, like an art installation straight out of a museum. Guests could lie back inside and watch a film about their love story unfold above them. I love when couples infuse their celebration with personal touches — whether it’s a custom installation, thoughtful gifts, or a surprise performance — it makes the day uniquely theirs, unforgettable in every detail.

我們的新人玩起創意真的是非常棒,婚禮環節裡播放視頻的部份被新人做成一個萬花筒形式的天幕裝置,堪比博物館的藝術裝置,賓客們進入裝置內部可以躺平欣賞關於他們故事的視頻,婚禮上能放入自己設計的一些小心思,無論是在小禮品上,還是一段小表演,都會是非常有意思和深刻記憶點的。

JM Cellars | Seattle Washington Wedding

Every wedding is a chance to discover a new love story—and a glimpse into the beauty of local traditions.

Chinese wedding customs vary across regions, each with its own charm. This time, I witnessed a Shandong family preparing wide red noodles using dragon fruit and flour—a symbolic blessing of joy and abundance for the couple.

After the tea ceremony, the couple shared a quiet ritual with deep roots. Moments like these remind me how meaningful it is to carry forward even a piece of one’s heritage, especially while living far from home.

Vows and speeches are always my favorite part—hearing the journey of two people, especially those building a life in a new country, always speaks to something deeper.

Rengstorff House | Mountain View Bay Area California Wedding

From the hills of North Beach where their story first began, to the golden shores where they promised forever — every chapter of their love feels like destiny written across two worlds.

She, with roots in India. He, with roots in Egypt. Together, they built something beautifully their own — a blend of cultures, laughter, and devotion that needs no translation.

I first photographed them as two souls in love, and now, as husband and wife surrounded by family, friends, and pure joy, it feels like witnessing the universe quietly celebrate with them.

San Francisco Engagement | Chinatown, Cable Car and Pier 7

They returned from Seattle to the San Francisco where they had spent so many years, just to trace the footsteps of their memories - strolling the same streets, wandering through familiar bookstores, savoring warm, flaky egg tarts.

The city may look different after the pandemic, but the people who lovingly guard their little shops keep those memories here as beautiful as ever.

他們從西雅圖回到那個曾經生活很多年的舊金山,為的就是找回那份當年的回憶;一起走過的路,逛過的書店,吃過的蛋撻;疫情後的舊金山可能已經另外一個樣子,但還是有很多可愛的人堅守著自己的店舖,讓在這裡的回憶依舊美好。

These hills, these streets, this view—each frame a testament to devotion, laughter, and a love that always finds its way home.

San Francisco Engagement / Prewedding | City Hall, Coffee Movement and Baker Beach

每個城市都有很多人口流進流出,有人會堅守土生土長的地方,有人不斷探索直到找到那個適合自己定居的城市。

很多年前舊金山也是在適宜定居的城市中排名靠前的城市,直到很多政策上的轉變,舊金山漸漸在排名上消失。我和另一半跟很多找我拍攝的新人一樣,雖然不在這裡生活,但卻有著珍貴的回憶,所以每次拍攝,同樣我在思考和探索,是否有些地方適合定居,有些回憶只屬於某個城市。

Stanford Memorial Church Wedding | Stanford University Bay Area California Wedding

What an honor capturing the wedding of these two Stanford alumni, right in the very study room where their story began.

As Professor S. said:
“I love you more than Statistics, more than truth, and more than anything.”

Not everything can be measured; not by data, formulas, or probabilities.Today, I witnessed a love that goes beyond numbers… and somehow, adds up perfectly.

從紐約搬到灣區拍攝婚禮也有五年的時間了,期間也拍過不少優秀的專業人士,但教授真的是第一次。

我們來到了他們當初相遇的自修室,雖然都穿著禮服,但時光彷彿一下子回到了校園的日子。

婚宴的環節,各個學霸的炸裂級別PPT演講,更是精彩絕倫。教授的誓詞與切蛋糕的方式也是非常的與眾不同,非常榮幸可以紀錄這麼好玩和美好的一天!
