Vintage muscle cars & Australian accents. Two seriously amazing things that made this day a lot of fun! Rob & Des had a month long holiday travelling the United States. One of the pit stops was to San Francisco, for a romantic and fun wedding. We started off with me getting some time in with the girls doing hair & makeup at the Orchard Garden Hotel. From there, my assistant Heidi & I hopped into our Lyft and met the Camaro & Roadrunner to the Ferry Building & Chrissy Fields for some portraits around the city. My friend Ehvan (the videographer that made the video on my website) shot all the video footage of the day. I will update with the link once that is posted :)

For now, enjoy! Congratulations Rob, Des & Kyle. I hope you enjoyed your stay!

A very last minute request, and I am so happy I was available to witness Erika & Chris' Golden Gate Park wedding under the Pagoda. Yes, we were attracting tourists and even a random harnessed cat that wanted in on the action! It was a chilly and foggy morning, but I love the way the light surrounds them and the beautiful garden. After the ceremony we headed over to Shakespeare Garden, contemplated crashing a wedding, but opted for adventures around the Golden Gate Park concourse area. The details: Her dress (& his fedora) came from a cute vintage shop in their hometown in Traverse City, Michigan.  Not to worry, I will find out who made her dress! Her ring was designed from a mold of a twig and set with a pearl. On her other hand she wore a vintage ring her grandmother (or was it great-grandmother?) hand painted. LOVE LOVE LOVE!!!

Congratulations Erika & Chris! Ceremony

I can't even take their cuteness. Under that pretty vintage-ish dress she rocked a pair of Vans with her "heels just ain't gonna happen" attitude. She made a cute little box to hold their rings. It was quaint, it was intimate and it was a special ceremony. Yes, I had to boot some people out of my shot with my kind "I am NOT photoshopping you out later, so just move" look. Politely, of course!

I've shot many weddings at Golden Gate Park, and this was my first at the Queen Wilhelmina Tulip Garden. We got lucky with no rain, just a little San Francisco fog for their wedding day.

Congratulations Kelli & Kyle! Vegas next year for anniversary photos!!! ;)
