hi, i’m crystal! welcome to my blog.

i’m a wedding + lifestyle photographer currently living in my hometown of southern california. i also moonlight as a designer/advisor/co-founder to a startup based in beijing, where i travel to often and call my second home.

i was raised by a very rare breed of chinese-american parents who love to travel to obscure places, and i inherited my insatiable wanderlust from them. on my off time i’m most likely off traipsing around the world.

this blog is a place to share mostly photos i’ve taken on my adventures, for both work and play.

THINGS I LOVE

taco trucks, city skylines, scandinavian and japanese interiors, road trips, sidewalk cafes, typography, bookstores and libraries, public transportation, apple products, brunch, kraft paper, tall buildings, anything italian

PHOTOGRAPHY

wedding coverage begins at $3000. i’m based in los angeles and san francisco, but don’t hesitate to ask if you’re not–i’m always traveling and just may end up in your city! :)

i’m also available for editorial + lifestyle work.

FIND ME

i’m a contributor on herb and lace, a culture/lifestyle blog written by girls transplanted across the globe.

i post personal thoughts, design/tech related snippets, and things that inspire me on my tumblr.

i also spend an inordinate amount of time on pinterest, so feel free to peruse my dream apartment/trip/closet/life there, if you’re into that kind of thing.

lastly, i love to chat/meet/collaborate with people, so send me a message on twitter or by email: hello [at] crystaljean.net.

thanks for visiting!
