Over 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 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?

Man Ray - Hi Hannah! I must say, those photos are very inspiring. Reminds me of my wedding five years ago. My wife just looked stunning, especially that the photos seemed like it was just yesterday. Do you do your own website hosting? I think it would be a great help if you contact a good private label SEO service provider which would contribute to the success of your business. I heard these sorts of strategies are effective online marketing techniques. Anyway, good luck on your business! I’m looking forward to seeing more of your works.
Shannon - beautiful photography. who made that cake?
Ian McLovin - Bubbles, bubbles bubbles. What can I say? The wedding concept is brilliantly carried out. The cake looks delectably delicious in the photo. Whoever made that cake is a true master of his craft.
