{jennifer and chris} San Francisco

I really love when I have the chance to shoot a fun destination wedding. When I got the call from Jen to shoot her wedding in San Francisco I was so excited. I love the city and actually went to college there for a while in between travels. Jen and Chris were amazing to work with. Jen is a wedding videographer so she knew exactly what type of light I was looking for and put together the perfect timeline for pictures. Their friends and family were all so close, supportive, and fun, it made the day great for me!

They were married in the famous Saint Peter & Paul Church where Marilyn Monroe and Joe DiMaggio had their ceremony in 1954. Oddly enough, this amazingly beautiful Catholic church is located at 666 Filbert Street…only in San Francisco. After the ceremony and lots of great pictures around San Francisco, we headed to the reception at Marine’s Memorial Club near Union Square. There are so many fun pictures from the day, here are my favorites!







I loved this idea of a dual-garter-bouquet toss, very original.

Here’s Jen, having a blast at the reception and rapping to old school rap with her bridesmaids!!

Every family is unique, and that’s what I love capturing—the real connection, laughter, and personality that make you who you are. If that’s what you want in your portraits, let’s plan something together.
