Love in Their Neighborhood: An Intimate City Wedding

There’s something quietly magical about a wedding that feels entirely like you—shaped by favorite streets, meaningful places, and the people who matter most. Colin and Zohreh’s city wedding was just that: small, personal, and full of joy.

The day began at home on Sutter Street, buzzing with family helping Zohreh get ready—hand-beaded dress from India, a last-minute coat by an Iranian designer that completed her look, and later, sneakers for photos that felt perfectly her. Colin looked effortlessly stylish in a vintage suit he found at a friend’s shop.

They exchanged vows at city hall, surrounded by a dozen guests, including grandparents from both sides. Afterward, we visited the couple’s favorite spots on Fillmore Street and Japantown.

Their story is one of connection across time and distance. They met years ago at a Vipassana meditation retreat, stayed in touch, and reconnected in New York, growing closer even through a long-distance stretch.

Dinner at The Progress wrapped up the day with warmth and laughter. There may be a larger wedding to come, but for now, this intimate gathering was perfect.

Butterflies in the Vineyard | Vine Hill House Wedding

Kara and Morissa’s wedding at Vine Hill House in Sebastopol was a heartfelt celebration amidst the beauty of redwoods and a family-run vineyard that grows both apples and grapes. Their ceremony honored Jewish traditions with the Seven Blessings, and a playful friend had everyone laughing during an impromptu hokey pokey. Butterflies lingered throughout the day, a poignant and comforting reminder of Kara’s late mom.

The surprises kept coming, including a custom song from their musical friends during cocktail hour, and a lively hora under the trees that turned the dance floor into a joyful, crowded celebration. The day was filled with love, laughter, and unforgettable memories.


A Cozy Fall Wedding in Sebastopol

When Adam and Meagan had the opportunity to book a fall wedding at Vine Hill House overlooking the vineyards of Sebastopol, it was Meagan’s dream come true. They envisioned a laid-back, intimate ceremony that reflected their personalities and gave them the chance to share the place where Meagan grew up with friends and family.

With Meagan from Petaluma and her parents owning a nearby vineyard, Sonoma County was the perfect setting. The venue offered sweeping views and a cozy atmosphere, and they even included their sweet golden retriever, Brody, in the day.

Despite the dramatic weather—rolling clouds followed by bursts of sunshine—everything felt effortlessly chic. There were countless sweet family moments, especially with Meagan’s close-knit siblings, and the dance floor stayed lively thanks to Adam’s baseball teammates. A rainbow appeared just in time for golden hour portraits, adding a final magical touch to a day that perfectly reflected their love and playful energy.
