May Wedding in San Francisco Part I

Here is a wedding that I was fortunate to be part of. It was a beautiful classic San Francisco wedding with a blend of old charm and elegance. The couple tied the knot at the Swedenborgian Church, a San Fransisco gem that is designated as one of the National Historical Landmarks in the city. The warm setting, wooden flooring, and quaint fireplaces are some prime highlights of this heritage church.

The reception followed at the Argonaut Hotel in Fisherman's Wharf, and the night ended perfectly with a happily married couple, a perfect setting, excellent food, top notch service and dancing guests.

Special thanks to the super amazing Julie Weisberg for sending me these beautiful images! Sneak peak here:

February Wedding in Fremont/ Pleasanton

The weather was not cooperating the entire week, and we started to get worried and preparing for plan B. Miraculously, on the morning of the wedding day, the rain stopped and the sun came out just right before the bride arrived to her outdoor ceremony site at the Palmdale Estates in Fremont. The rest of the day, the weather stayed warm and beautiful. The perfect day ended with a formal reception at the Castlewood Country Club.
