San Francisco is a classic city. The iconic Golden Gate bridge, Lombard street, the trolley's and all that makes the city itself one of a kind; this was the perfect setting for such a wonderful love and fabulous couple to celebrate their wedding.
Adrienne and Brian have a modern love story. They met in Chicago, while both visiting for different reasons, fell in love when they reunited in Las Vegas, were engaged in New York and now, married in the city by the bay. And while the locations changed for each of these moving events, one thing remained consistent: there was no doubt that they were made for one another. Adrienne is a beautiful, smart and driven woman with organizational and leadership skills that shined as she put this gorgeous wedding together. Brian is a kind, intelligent, thoughtful and fun guy who knows how to make his bride laugh like no other. Together, they blend perfectly.
Golden Gate Park was idyllic- acres of beauty tucked within a lively city. And just within the park, their reception location at the Hamon Tower within the de Young Museum was unlike any wedding I had ever had the honor of photographing. These two literally celebrated their love with their family and friends within the clouds and fog high above San Francisco. It was a magical setting, a moving day and a wonderful combination of sweetness and sophistication all in one.
As dense as the San Francisco fog that rolls quickly and profoundly into the bay, so is the deep love of Adrienne and Brian- proven true through years of life together. Just as these two blend together beautifully, their wedding was the perfect blend of a classic city and a modern love story. Here is a glimpse into the 'I do's' and details of such a fantastic day:
All the wedding guests stayed at the iconic Fairmont Hotel. It was also the perfect place for the couple to prepare for their big day!
Just beyond the city, tucked beneath the fog, you can spot the Golden Gate Bridge:
A masterful shot of the moment Brian asked Adrienne to marry him in New York!
A stunning bride!
I loved all that Brian included in the gift to his groomsmen!
The first look took place within the gorgeous suite near the top of the Fairmont. The views were incredible.
As was there first look!
This is the face of an excited bride ready to marry her love!
I loved the atmosphere of the garden! It was truly romantic and gem within the city:
Adrienne's parents had just recently celebrated their 39th wedding anniversary- as a gift, Adrienne gave them a few moments of her wedding day for pictures of just the two of them.
They. Are. Adorable.
Just as the reception began, the quintessential fog rolled in.
Congrats you two! It was a honor to be a part of your amazing day!
