GLENN & DARLENE | Franciscan Gardens Wedding

October 28, 2011 – 3:28 am

Darlene & Glenn’s wedding was amazing on so many levels that i can’t even think where to begin. First of all, they did everything THEMSELVES! say what?!?! yeah, it’s true. From finding vintage cake stands and plates and painting them white to create a modern, cohesive feel to hanging cloth poms all they way down to their kicks for the day….grey & yellow custom chuck taylors (okay, so maybe they didn’t make these but they designed them! ) no detail was spared!

on top of that we were able to see 4 of our past clients again (something we ALWAYS love), witness some pretty spectacular dance moves, eat delicious tacos from a late night food truck that they commissioned and above all, document so many touching, tearful & hilarious moments!

it was blast and we are so lucky to be a part of it all!

ADRIAN & CANDIS | Pearl Banquet Wedding

October 13, 2011 – 3:06 pm

There are so many things that I admire about Candis & Adrian…their generosity, their dedication to each other, their carefreeness (that probably isn’t a word! )…the list goes on and on. throughout the day adrian would just admire candis while candis worked her sparkling personality. and we couldn’t help but admire her too!

Candis & Adrian — you guys are so beautiful! congrats on such a perfect day! look forward to showing you ALL your pics! see you guys soon!

Candis & Adrian had the best sermon at their wedding. The priest compared marriage to chewing gum….delicious & flavorful at first but after time it gets old and dull. he, of course, said to try to avoid feeling this way. everyone was cracking up!

but with laughter comes tears and i lost it when i saw adrian crying happy tears…happy, we found out later, to be a part of candis’ amazing family and start a family of his own.

KATIE & DAVIN | Ultimate Skybox Wedding

October 8, 2011 – 1:38 am

You know when you meet a couple and you just know they are meant for each other? That’s Davin & Katie. They both have an incredibly calm nature and, as can be attested by all their friends & family, are extremely generous and selfless.

Their wedding ceremony took place at the Embarcadero and their reception at the Ultimate Skybox both of which was a first for us! The set up was classy yet casual with open seating and super chic lounge furniture. I loved the set up! Lots of mingling & tons of room to dance! And believe me…there was some serious dancing going on! Oh, and they also attached $50 to the bouquet & garter to ensure maximum participation. I’ve seen $5 even $20…but never $50. I told you they are generous!

We were so honored to be a part of their day and I seriously could have gotten paid with grilled cheese sandwiches and tater tots from Davin’s restaurant & bar, The Corner Bar. So delicious!

Davin wrote a poem for Katie as his wedding gift. It was definitely a tear jerker!
