Marcela & Chris – St. Patrick’s church, Westin St. Francis San Francisco | 11.22.2008

Marcela and Chris traveled from Portland, Oregon to get married in the beautiful Westin St. Francis Hotel in San Francisco. It was an intimate and fun wedding. The ceremony was at St. Patrick’s church. They are such a non-traditional couple and didn’t want any “getting ready” or formal photos, cake cutting or bouquet toss… it was foggy later in the afternoon when we got to the 32nd floor in St. Francis but the room was still surrounded with a beautiful night view of the skyline of San Francisco… Both of them work at Westin Oregon and when I got the ring shot with “The Westin St. Francis” it was so special to them…

Lorraine and Rick – Our destination wedding in San Diego – Immaculata USD & Loews Coronado Bay resort 11.15.2008

Immaculata USD | Loews Coronado

In the middle of November, it was over 80 Fahrenheit in San Diego- Bride’s family flew from Ireland and I flew from San Francisco for Lorraine and Rick’s wedding. I attended their rehearsal dinner at The Field, an Irish pub in downtown San Diego Gaslamp area. And of course there was mariachi at the wedding. Ah- what could I say – it simply could not be more perfect!

San Francisco Halloween 2008

This year’s Halloween party was the one of the creepiest I have seen and ooooh I had so much fun! It was hosted at wellknown painter Jennybird‘s house at the west side of San Francisco. Mostly Burning Man artists hang out at the party and needless to say, it could go pretty wild. Some of the best costumes i have seen. Awesome!

Cheng & Xin – San Francisco City Hall Wedding |10.23.2008

Dear Cheng and Xin,

Congratulations to you, and welcome to San Francisco! You put so much effort to plan this trip and this special day. You asked me for opinions of the bouquet, veil and color of xin’s tie… everything turned out amazingly simple, elegant and special. It was such a beautiful day; I hope the good weather here in the bay area helped to end your trip on a good note.

I witnessed you went to the city hall early in the morning, exchanged vows and the moment of “you may kiss the bride” – in a sense, I was the third witness. I drove around the city and showed you many of my favorite places; we laughed, joked around and had good photos… you tried hard to make me skip my meeting that evening and took me out for dinner. After we all sat down, I realized that we were going to have your “wedding banquet” together… the three of us… THANKS for letting me spend all the special moments with you!

You worked so hard even on your wedding day; your cell phone did not stop ringing. We caught great photos in between of your phone calls from work. Good luck on your career too, new graduates from Duke! You are going to have a bright future. starting from Manhattan, New York, is only the beginning of your life journey. There’s much more yet to come.

Best wishes to both of you!
Much Love,
Jasmine
