Yali is quiet, genuine, caring, while Sriram is laid-back, more outgoing, and always able to make her laugh. When they met at work, they found balance and a place in each other’s hearts. I met these two on a sunny but windy-cold day in San Francisco for some engagement photos by the Legion of Honor…
Courtney and Nick are so down to earth and a joy to be around. We met up in San Francisco’s Golden Gate Park and roamed around, making stops in the Japanese Tea Garden, where they went on the day of Nick’s proposal, and around the Conservatory of Flowers as well. It was an incredibly foggy…
Julie and Jeremy’s proposal story, as told by them: Jeremy proposed to Julie exactly on their three year anniversary in front of the Golden Gate Bridge (this is where they first asked each other out!). Julie sleeps in on weekends, so Jeremy woke up early and frantically checked the weather all morning on public webcams…
Every Monday, I feature an image and backstory from my Pointe of View series. Hooray! Thank you so much to all of you who came to the book launch party in San Francisco this weekend. It was so wonderful to see everyone and to celebrate the successful release of my ! An extra big thank you goes…
It started with a fall when Deirdre and Damian first met. A hard fall. It’s best when Damian tells the story: Deirdre was interviewing for a developer position at a new company, dressed in heels and very long dress pants. Her heels got into a fight with her pants and she fell (face first) in…
The first weekend of June, many of our friends from all over the country (New York, Chicago, LA) traveled to Northern California for a San Francisco & Napa retreat. The cornerstones were Alex and Jessica’s surprise proposal on Friday and dinner at The French Laundry on Sunday. We filled the weekend with food, wine tasting, and…
It was such an amazing experience to be part of this special proposal. Alex and Jessica first met at TAF, a summer camp that many of us have attended since we were kids, and they have been together almost ten years now. Because many of our TAF friends were going to Napa for The French…
“It’s a little different from the norm,” they told me, but it was such a unique and meaningful way to celebrate their wedding with their friends and family across the US. Fuko and Robert would be officially wed in San Francisco’s City Hall with their closest family. Then they would continue the celebration in Chicago,…
Periodically, I introduce one of my favorite vendors in the industry– completely unpaid, just out of sheer love of working with them. This month, I am excited to feature Jill Rizzo and Alethea Harampolis of the wonderful floral team, Studio Choo. I first fell in love with their work before even knowing it was theirs,…
Theirs is a love story that spans several seas. They first met while traveling through South Africa and Namibia, Katja visited Anders in Norway, he moved to the Netherlands to be closer to her in Germany, and they then lived together in Norway before moving on to their new home in Vancouver, Canada. And true…
Bridgette and Ryan first met in Michigan, where they worked together at a communications company. Their first date was at a friend’s show at a music hall in Detroit, and they have been together ever since. After several years living in Michigan, they decided to move to California, and San Francisco was the lucky city…
Roughly once a month, I introduce one of my favorite vendors in the industry– completely unpaid, just out of sheer love of working with them. This month, I am proud to feature the Berkeley City Club— one of my favorite wedding venues in the entire San Francisco Bay Area. Why do I love this place?…
