This has got to be one of the most fun weddings I’ve shot! I had met with Michelle and Sami from Vallejo earlier in the year and shot their engagement session at Jack London Square. These two are a fun couple to work with, are so laid back, and are so open all the ideas we had. Their wedding was held at the beautiful Hyatt Fisherman’s Wharf in San Francisco. This is a great hotel! I especially loved the beautiful light that filled the room of the bridal suite and made for some wonderful images of Michelle and her mother when they first saw each other with her dress on. Michelle and Sami opted to do a “first look”. This special moment where the meet each other BEFORE the ceremony gave them time to be alone without the stresses of all the pre-wedding preparation. It also gave us a chance to take photos and focus on just them. The intimate ceremony was held in the hotel where Michelle’s uncle walked her down an aisle covered with rose petals. They exchanged their vows and performed a symbolic sand ceremony which married two sands of color into one vase. Only steps away from the famous cable car turnaround, the wharf, and all the iconic sights of the area, we were so excited to venture out for some photos with the bridal party.
Congrats to the new couple! Wishing you the best.
Special thanks go out to my team for assisting me at this wedding: Charlie Mai and Tim Lim
