Elegant Texas Grandeur on the California Coast

When it came to their wedding, this stylish pair wanted to combine their Texas and California roots for an intimate "backyard" celebration in the location where they fell in love and became engaged. 

Megan and Michaela chose  late spring, because the area is bursting with flowers and greenery and enhance the ceremony and reception locations with colorful wind-blown ribbons and bursting spring floral arrangements. 

They poured their creativity, style, and love into every unique, personal detail, collecting plates for 2 years to create an eclectic table of mismatched white and gold place-settings and painting plate chargers and candle-holders by hand. They even gave each guest a small wooden pot filled with small personal notes.

Chic City-Top Museum Wedding

The fact that Benji and Paris are architects may not surprise. Their eye for design and appreciation for structure seems to comes through in everything from their venue to flower choice. 

The invitations, complete with the couple's thumbprints and Paris' sketches of San Francisco, included a request for guests to make and mail back paper cranes for luck, happiness, and prosperity.

Lace + Quartz Modern City Hall Elopement

San Francisco is brimming with charming, elegant venues to host post-City Hall nuptials. For this shoot, we sought a unique and unexplored space. The interior of the recently opened Cambria Gallery in the SoMa neighborhood just south of City Hall was an inspiring discovery. We fell in love with the combination of colors and textures and the urban, modern décor. Marble, quartz, and exposed brick give the showroom a very dramatic and industrial look, particularly when paired with a bold, graphic print. The space inspired an urban, yet feminine vibe and a chic, modern, yet approachable look for our shoot.

Intimate Autumn Dinner al Fresco

In the hills overlooking the Sonoma Valley, Mia and Nash found the perfect location for their intimate Sunday ceremony and dinner party. They said their vows under the late autumn sun and then invited their 20 guests to the patio for a seasonal dinner at dusk, followed by dessert in the wine cave. It was the perfect way to end the summer and begin their 10 month honeymoon!
