Brandi and Joe got married in the morning in a small ceremony at San Francisco City Hall followed by champagne. Brandi had part of her mother’s dress remade into a new dress, which – can you even imagine a more perfect dress for a City Hall ceremony? The gorgeous flowers were by Natalie at Clementine. [...]

Ruchi and Dave’s Hindu/Jewish (a culture blend nicknamed “HinJew” by the couple) was a blast. Held at the San Francisco Design Center Galleria, the multi-part day was actually the culmination of a larger multi-day celebration. The day started with the Baraat, and Dave riding in on horseback (well, actually processing around the block but it [...]

Liz and Guy got married in Pacifica on what turned out to be a gorgeous day in February. The tiny Pedro Point Firehouse near the water is one of the best deals around (plus – llamas across the street!). I loved the multicolored bridesmaid dresses and shoes, and the gift packs for the kids in [...]

Allison and Jonas got married in Old Saint Hillary’s in Tiburon, which is very possibly the most picturesque wedding chapel I have ever seen in my life. A late-December wedding date often means rain the Bay Area, but they lucked out big time and the weather was gorgeous all day. This was one of the [...]

Becca & Don got married at HS Lordships on the Berkeley Marina in December. Despite being mid-winter, the weather was sunny, and Becca and Don did an incredible job planning a beautiful ceremony and reception. Don collects Pez dispensers, and got special-edition bride and groom Pez dispensers to use as toppers on their cake, which [...]

Ashley & Jabari live in New York and had a destination wedding in San Francisco*, and lucked out with one of the warmest nights of the year despite a late-October wedding date (we literally never had to turn on the outdoor heaters.) The San Francisco Art Institute is one of the Bay Area’s best-kept venue [...]

Julie and Andrew are dear friends of mine from church, and as a practicing Episcopalian I can’t really tell you how excited I was to finally get to do a wedding in Grace Cathedral (it’s one of my happy places.) Julie was an absolutely stunning bride, and Andrew didn’t look too bad either Their reception [...]

Lisa’s & Jim got married at a Nursery (of the tree variety, not the baby variety), and had their reception at one of the most brilliant alternative venues I’ve seen – Serenity Stone Works, a garden accessories store with a large backyard. A great reminder to look outside the box and talk to the owners [...]
