San Francisco wedding photos :: Zena + Lance
- Posted on:
- 10 April 2010
Zena and Lance met at Burning Man; I met them on another celebratory day, New Year’s Eve 2009 at a little bar in the San Francisco Mission. I was introduced to them and thought that they were just the cutest couple I had seen, and we briefly chatted about their wedding. As time went on we talked on and off about having me shoot their wedding, but dates and other issues stood in the way. We finally were able to make it work for their Sunday celebration a few weeks ago, and I am so thrilled to have shot this amazing wedding and gorgeous couple (if you can find a cuter one, please let me know).
This wedding was really about friends, family and community, with so many people playing a role in making everything come together, from the cupcakes to the centerpieces, the wonderful band to the invitations. Zena did an amazing job scouting out a few locations for us in the Oakland hills and surrounding parks. San Francisco is one of my favourite places in the country, and shooting out there is always sure a pleasure. The light and environment is just unreal, and completely different from Chicago. I also shot a ton of film at this wedding as part of a little challenge/artistic fulfillment to myself, and loved how many of them turned out.
Here are a few vendors since I’ve already got a few emails! Dress: BCBG Shoes: Cole Haan Invitations: Illustrated and designed by bride’s sister and friend (email for info) Venue: Montclair Women’s Club Catering: Picante Band: Andrew Conklin Band (I don’t know how regularly these guys play weddings but they were great!)
