Hana Chung Photography

I typically don’t like to post two family sessions back to back, but I couldn’t help myself because I just wanted to share these images! I’m beginning to really  love doing family sessions. I think back at how often my own family has said “Oh! We need to take another family photo!” yet we tend to make up excuses; when I lose 5 more pounds, when I grow out my hair, when I have more time. And then years go by and now we’ve missed many opportunities, sadly sometimes even family members and we can’t help regret wishing we did take that photo. I’m realizing more how much I cherish capturing these moments for my clients.

Meet the gorgeous Curtis family! Their two daughters Meryn + Lyvia are the cutest ever! Sean is the pastor at GRX SF a church in the Mission in SF and Kerry cooks the most delicious food! I really hope you guys had as much fun being photographed as I had photographing you!

Grandma!

Can these two be any more precious?

I love the next set of photos. I feel like it shows their personalities so well! Meryn is totally free spirited and adventurous whereas Lyvia is a little more shy and reserved.

They were pros by the end of the shoot!

I knew this engagement session would be awesome from the moment I saw that Jin + Naomi = Jinomi! We had a fun-filled day trekking around San Francisco exploring areas I’ve never been too and revisiting old ones. We were so worried the week before because the weather had been horrible, but it cleared up and was so beautiful for that one day. The next day crazy storms hit for the entire week!

Meet Jinomi!

Jin wanted photos with graffiti so we headed over to the Mission District. They seriously have some amazing murals!

Of course we had to stop and get some burritos!!!

This next set of photos makes me laugh so much. Naomi cut the cutest paper hearts out so we could throw them, but we probably took these photos 10+ times because each time the paper hearts flew towards Jin’s face he would cringe! In the end we just told him to look at Naomi so he wouldn’t see all those hearts flying towards him!

Jin loves his iPhone. He converted Naomi.

One of my favorites!

A lil fun with my lensbaby.

The Bay Bridge

I am thrilled to share this engagement session with everyone!!!  Not only because they look so freaking amazing, but because it’s the first session I’m showing you guys that I shot with my new baby, the Nikon D3s!  This camera = a little bit of heaven for me!

I love love love love this very classic looking San Francisco engagement shoot, we started off at their super chic place where we played with their cats and went to the rooftop to view the city on such a beautiful day. Then we ended up going all over the city where we braved the freezing weather,  especially when we did some photos at night!  Since this shoot they had the most beautiful ceremony at this gorgeous location in Carmel that I’m equally excited to share with you all soon!

How cool is it to have a parking lot practically to yourself?!?!  I love this pic!

I love how Dave proposed to Yuli using the iPod!

Sometimes when I meet with clients I click with them right away. Ailed + Zac were one of those couples. We sat and chatted forever and I felt like they were old friends! I had a awesome time with Ailed + Zac doing this casual engagement session. We thought the weather was going to be amazing, but it quickly turned into a cold and windy afternoon. They were troopers! I can’t wait to shoot your wedding in August!

I can’t tell you guys how much I love how photography brings me closer to people!  Diane and I went to high school together and after many years she found me and hired me to photograph her wedding!  The first time I saw Diane after all these years it felt like no time had passed by and I was absolutely excited to hear about her and Vince.

Diane had a lot of ideas for the shoot and even brought some props!  I adore how this engagement shoot turned out!!!

I met with Diane + Vince on Saturday and we started off at Balmey Alley.  I can’t tell you how much I loved this location!  It’s so colorful and fun!

We had some fun with the “&” sign!

And then had some fun with my Instax Mini camera

They have a really funny story about their proposal!

Thanks Diane + Vince for such a great engagement session!  I can’t wait to photograph your wedding in May!!!

I was so excited to shoot Jasia + Daniel’s wedding!  The weather was absolutely perfect compared to the dreaded SF fog we experienced the whole week prior.  I think Jasia + Daniel did an amazing job planning their wedding while busy with their residency and living in Southern California!  A big thank you to Clarence Harvey for assisting me on this wedding!

Location – Sutro Heights Park
Reception – Koi Palace

We started the day off at the Palace of Fine Art to do their first look and portraits!

One of my favs!
















One of the most unique rings I’ve seen so far!  Daniel loves surfing so they got waves engraved into his ring!!!

He came all the way from China to make this special calligraphy piece for them!


I love how they decorated their car!  The Dr. Dr. picture is hilarious!
