Around the Bay

I know I shared most of the wedding photos with you guys a couple months ago, but I realized I never shared any of the staged photos we took around San Francisco afterwards! It was the MOST gorgeous day, it almost was too sunny and beautiful to get great outdoor shots but with our friends and some champagne in tow we made an afternoon out of it! You can click HERE to see all of the other wedding photos as well.

I mean where else would a bride go get a snack on her wedding day? In-n-out of course!

Palace of Fine Arts

Fort Mason

Baker Beach

Lombard Street

Okay, thats it… I promise!

San Francisco City Hall

After the Ceremony we stayed around City Hall to take really take in the beauty of the building and capture some amazing photos. This is just a handful of some of the amazing shots we were able to capture...

 This is the one I will be framing in our house!

My favorite shot of the day of my look. I will always treasure this entire simple look.

I love all of the realness in this photo. Messy hair, people walking by... this is SF!

Groom and Best Man.

Grand Staircase inside the building.

One of my favorites from the day. Iconic City Hall doors.

So cute.

Every corner we turned had another amazing spot for photos. I loved this intricate staircase and marble walls.

Where we got married... we couldn't have found a more beautiful building or more perfect day.

The Ceremony

Today I am sharing with you a few snaps from our ceremony at San Francisco City Hall. We rented the  Mayors Balcony and it was one of the best spots in the house. Even though there were other weddings going on in the building I dont' even remember seeing anyone else! 

On our way! Look at all that sunshine we were blessed with!

Waiting to walk down the aisle. So stinkin cute.

There was no traditional "music", since it is a working building but I was still able to have a nice little entrance.

Walking down the aisle with my dad was hand down the best part

Rings

View of our Ceremony. Look at this building! Its breathtaking!

This might be one of my favorite ceremony photos... so sweet!

Done and done!!!

Our besties signing as our witnesses.

One of my favorite little guests had to come check out what was going on!

Its not official until its on the internet... time to Instagram!

Best day ever! 

Next week I will share some of the professional photos taken around City Hall and some of our favorite spots around SF.

First Look


Once we were ready, we met in the hotel on a pretty sunlight bridge. I was so nervous to go find Geoff and because we were running late I had so much on my mind! When I was walking over to him and put my hand on his shoulder he just stood there and was like "Can I turn now!?!" Haha, trying not to ruin any photo op!

My dress was purchased on a whim, last year! I loved this dress by Dolce Vita and thought, well if I ever get married I would want this to at least be an option. Even though I looked at dresses that cost thousands, almost settling on a long lace dress... I just thought about the money, the fact that I only wear this once, and also the terrible service at these so called bridal stores that I said screw it, and went with my original option! I am SO happy I did, it was just so much more me!

After this, we all piled in the limo and headed off to San Francisco City Hall....

Wedding Details

Some of my favorite photos we're the ones they were able to shoot while I was getting ready. While we kept to a really low key, easy going wedding overall there were a few little details I cared about that I wanted to make sure were highlighted and always remembered. Katelin did a great job of capturing these things for us so when we got the photos back I was floored with all of the special little photos I found!

Our wedding bands. I picked something I would have never normally picked, I thought I wanted a channel set band, but this one had such a vintage quality, and paired with my single diamond engagement ring, it just looks like little mini versions of the bigger one. It is the perfect match. Geoff went with a tungsten band in a charcoal type color. The little graphic was taken from the top of our invitation, so perfect!

We went with invites from Hello! Lucky and I could not have been more pleased!! I wanted to make sure everyone we used as far as vendors was special, and the fact that Hello! Lucky was based in SF was perfect! We didnt have wedding "colors" but I loved the red from the Golden Gate Bridge on the top, and the aqua font. I don't want to share too much of the original invite, but it was cheeky and perfectly us. I loved it. We weren't even going to do invites like this but I am so happy we did. They ended up being so perfect I already have one in a frame in our room!

Little Details on the Groom! Can't forget about this guy who looked so handsome that day and was totally channeling Don Draper! He splurged on these Ted Baker 'Cirek' Oxfords and super fun socks from Nordstrom. If you look closely the shoes have the traditional rose stitching and all of the stitching and laces are in a deep purple.. so unique!

I really didnt know what I was going to wear until the few days before, but I had bought these shoes way ahead of time thinking they could work and I just went with it. I didnt want to go crazy with thousands of options, and I liked these... so I just stuck to it! They are the Seychelles 'Gaultine' Heels and they were SO comfortable to wear for 12 hours and I know I will wear them again!

My clutch for the day was from Anthropologie, of course, its sold out now but you can browse other cute ones here. Since my little guy couldn't be with us this day, I made sure to keep a photo of him tucked away and close by. I love that she pulled this out and took this snap, its like Lewis was there with us! 

We were referred to Amy from Angel Flowers in North Beach to do our arrangements and she was so great! I just basically sent her a picture from Pinterest and she said "okay" and that was that! SO EASY! I knew I wanted succulents for everything so we could also bring them back and plant them in pots in our yard. She did amazing and was so great to work with, even hand delivering them to the hotel and calling to check to make sure I liked them. Highly suggest her if you are in the area!

I wore this gorgeous Alexis Bittar Orbit Pyrite Bracelet (link to the large version, this is the small) that Geoff actually bought for me as a gift while we were up in San Francisco the day prior. It was so perfect and added that extra delicate but stunning piece of jewelry I was missing. 

I also wore this gorgeous Vanessa Mooney hand bracelet (similar) from Prism Boutique, the little diamond fell on the back of my hand and it was so pretty! And this little golden arrow ring I bought right around the corner from our reception site at a store called Gemologee, the last time we were in town applying for our license! 

Again, Amy from Angel Florist did such a great job with my bouquet it was so gorgeous and full and there were a few white anemones on the other side that looked so pretty mixed in! This guy was so full and heavy!! And I let her pick everything out, and I am go glad she went with a raffia wrapping around the stems, it kept it simple.
