Kelly and Matt’s Terra Gallery Wedding in San Francisco was so memorable to photograph, mainly because Kelly and Matt are both such laid- back, easy going and super, super nice and funny people. This sentiment also extends to their respective friends and family, who all made my assistant and I feel welcome. We rode the trolley with the wedding party to some San Francisco trade-mark locations, including Bernal Heights and Potrero Hill for both bridal portraits and and bridal party portraits. Kelly and Matt expressed a desire to have the quintessential San Francisco city-scapes incorporated into their wedding photos. They set aside plenty of time before their ceremony and reception for this session, and I am so glad they did. The trolley driver went up some gnarly hills to get us to the top of Bernal Heights, and we were all quite amazed how he managed to squeeze through and navigate some of the urban terrain required to get to the parking lot. Stephanie Larson of Stephanie Larson Events had everything running smoothly on her end, and when we arrived everything was set to go. Matt had surprised all his family and friends from back home in Indiana with a local band, Touch Of Grass, who packed the dance floor late into the evening.

This Chileno Valley Ranch wedding was gorgeous and so much fun! Will and Jane are both wonderful, genuine people. Chileno Valley Ranch was the perfect venue to replicate the feeling of an intimate get-together. Relaxed, warm, and personal summarize the feel of this wedding. The bride’s friend officiated their wedding and produced the florals for the affair. They wrote their own vows. Both Will and Jane wanted the reception to feel like a party they would want to attend — a backyard-sit-back-and-relax and less formal-event. In addition to her wedding dress, Jane wore a traditional Korean Hanbok. “I wanted to incorporate my Korean-American heritage into the most important days of my life. I went to Korea often as a child and have many family members still living there, so it is a big part of my identity. Also, Korean wedding garments are much more colorful than the traditional western wedding garments and given how beautiful our venue was, I wanted to add to that with bright summer colors. My cousins had these clothes hand made in Korea for me, and selected the specific colors.” Will played music with some old friends, and they encouraged their guests to roam the grounds, pet the sheep, and generally make themselves feel at home. The groom’s band kept everyone entertained before dinner in the beautifully decorated barn. They served Manhattan’s and Mexican Mules, as well as wine from Cooper Barbera Wine from Amador County where Will grew up. You can see more of this wedding on Snippet & Ink.
