San Francisco Wedding Photography – Shakespeare Garden
September 22, 2009Over Labor Day Weekend, I got to shoot my first San Francisco wedding at the lovely Shakespeare Garden in Golden Gate Park with another Los Angeles native, Henry Chen of Henry Chen Photography.
I really love small intimate garden weddings. And the Shakespeare Garden had an English charm about it.
The bride getting ready:
The ceremony site, with lots of lovely little details. The bride and her bridesmaids had a moss party and made those moss ball decorations by hand!
Bubbles! Tossing flower petals is nice, but bubbles are whimsical and beautiful. A great way to top off a ceremony.
We went to the Japanese Tea Garden, another beautiful location within the Golden Gate Park to do some bride and groom portraits.
And then headed on to gorgeous Tiburon for a intimate reception dinner.
Kenneth and Lulu were so thoughtful of their guests with individualized jars to act as drinking cups for the night, pots of rosemary, basil and other herbs to take home as favors, and a candy bar!
They also had a talented silhouette artist come in and make silhouette cut outs for all the guests. How neat is that?

Wow the silhouette artist is really cool….how long does it take her to do each one! These pictures are the reason I want to be burried in the Napa/Bay area….what a gorgeous area to be able to photograph weddings each week!
