Such a classically beautiful wedding! Jenny and Jun were wed at the Ritz Carlton Half Moon Bay. These two have known each other since childhood and have been classmates the whole way through, from middle school in China all the way through graduate school at Stanford. And now they finally got to tie the knot…
Tina and Bryan first met eight years ago. Their first date took them all around Land’s End on a chat and a walk that basically never ended. For their wedding day, they chose to be married at Hakone Gardens in Saratoga, a nod to their mutual love of Japan. They also paid tribute to Bryan’s…
After their beautiful morning ceremony and an afternoon break, Lakshmi and Jaxon gathered again with friends and family for their wedding reception amidst the redwoods of Deer Park Villa in Fairfax. With heartfelt toasts and a surprise dance performance by the groom and his friends, we all laughed, cried, and danced the night away. Unbeknownst…
Lakshmi and Jaxon met in Denver, though they both hail from the San Francisco Bay Area. To meet Lakshmi is to be instantly won over by her, as Jaxon’s own friends will tell you. (We might like her more than you now, they confess). She is the warm-hearted doctor with a big laugh and he…
Alex has a goal to attend an MLB game in all 30 stadiums, so we’ve been making steady progress this year. San Diego was surprisingly still on the list, even though it’s right here in California. So it was time to pay a visit to the Padres while our Giants were on the road there!…
M and D are the sweetest souls who met in Palo Alto and immediately felt at ease with each other. Their wedding day was full of personalized touches, including getting ready together at home under the supervision of their cat Butter, a nod to their careers as academics with some keynote presentations during their reception,…
C and W were joined by their families and closest friends for a very lovely City Hall wedding on the fourth floor gallery, and we roamed the grounds afterwards for some beautiful portraits all around and outside the building.

It’s the grand finale of Neera and Jeff’s week of wedding festivities! For their wedding reception, we headed north to San Francisco for a waterfront celebration at the Exploratorium. The interactive science museum plus their tropical theme were the perfect tribute to the story of how Neera and Jeff originally met– as medical students in…
After a very fun sangeet, Neera and Jeff had their wedding ceremony at the San Jose Gurdwara, which is the largest Sikh temple outside of India. Neera got ready in her family home, while Jeff got ready at a nearby hotel. I love the parallel preparations they were having, apart but together in spirit. For…
Neera and Jeff met in medical school in the Caribbean and started dating while they were finishing up their training in Brooklyn. They are the perfect complements to each other, with Neera’s goofy and imaginative side drawing out Jeff’s more cerebral homebody self. What they both share is their strong ties with their families, and…
At last, Tara and Potter’s wedding day has arrived! Tara and Potter were living here in the Bay Area when they initially planned for their 2020 wedding here in San Francisco, but the pandemic took them back to their hometown in Canada and then back to NYC, the city where they first met and fell…
Nicola and Zach got engaged just months before the pandemic hit. While they conceded that a large celebration would not happen right away, they were determined to be wed, and despite a second lockdown in California, they managed to tie the knot at the end of 2020, on the side of a highway, with a…
