The Pearl | Venue Showcase | San Francisco Wedding Photographer

This industry sure knows how to throw itself a party! I was thrilled when The Pearl asked me to photograph their inaugural showcase last week. The Pearl is a beautiful new venue in the Dogpatch neighborhood of San Francisco. It’s been open just under a year and is full of distinctive artwork from artist Alexis Laurent. I love the open space, natural light, and industrial feel. Plus, the whole place really came to life with all of the beautiful details and designs of the participating vendors. See a bit of the event and the venue below, and scroll all the way down for the full list of credits.

The day began with a beautiful luncheon for event designers and wedding planners. Such a beautiful design by 2 The 9s Events with rentals from Bright Event Rentals, cake from A Spoonful of Sugar, and linens from Napa Valley Linens.

 

So wonderful to see so many familiar faces and make new connections too.

Mezzanine design by Studio DBI with flowers from The Floral Times

In the evening, the main floor was flipped for the open house, with design by Events by Satra and florals from Nicole Ha Design.

All sorts of gorgeous menus and acrylic signs throughout the event were done by Wildfell Design.

Dusk on the rooftop! With design by E Events Co. and florals from Mandy Scott Events.

Delicious catering from Bi-Rite Catering.

And tucked away in the speakeasy, the bridal suite with design by Galles Events, hair by Sarah Jordan, makeup by Nikol Elaine Makeup Artistry, and gowns from Lovely Bride.

Thanks to everyone else who participated! What a pleasure to be a part of such beautiful events. And if you’re getting married at The Pearl, I’d love to photograph your wedding! Just let me know. =)
