Brandon & Kristie's Wedding | San Francisco Academy of Sciences

Kristie and Brandon live in LA, but they wanted to have their wedding in San Francisco. In their search for a venue they found the California Academy of Sciences and it fit who they were and the mood they wanted on their wedding day perfectly.  As you might expect from this playful and unique location, their wedding was one filled with joy and laughter. (I mean fits of giggles and belly aching laughter.) These two, their friends, and family were a joy to be with on this special occasion and we could not be happier to have been a part of it. 

Kristie managed long-distance (with the indispensable help of Ashley, from LVL) to bring together a fantastic team. Lily and Benson, from Bllew Photography were a breeze to work along side throughout this day, and the Florals Irene and Anna so lovingly made were just beautiful. See all of the wonderful vendors who helped make this day posable below.

Madhuri & Fred's Wedding

This warm winter afternoon was beautifully saturated with color, love, and ceremony. Madhuri and Fred's wedding was a fusion of jewish and Hindi traditions and the overwhelming love of these two families coming together was a treasure to take part in. Their wedding was held at Palmdale Estates and despite a bit of mid-day rain it could not have been more lovely. 

We had the pleasure of working along side Jay and Kate, from Photography by Jay C Winter, and we could not have had more fun.

This really was another absolutely perfect wedding at Nestldown in Los Gatos. I love the emotion and imagery captured at this wedding! Melisa and Josh are one of those couples that are ridiculously cute together as I'm sure you'll see.
