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.
