I was contacted by Daniela and Patrick only about 40 days before their wedding date . Little did I know that it was no ordinary wedding. Daniela and Patrick are from Germany but have chosen beautiful San Francisco for their wedding ceremony. They met in Germany over 10 years ago and while Daniela was a foreign student in San Francisco, Patrick came to the Bay Area to visit her. They both agreed how much they love it here and vowed to come back and marry here one day. It took them many years to make this dream come true. They didn’t have any solid plans, just booked flights, hotel, officiant and my photography services. When Daniela arrived to the US, she scouted a location with a great view of Golden Gate Bridge for her wedding ceremony. I recommended Joey of Jbeautique for her beauty needs and connected her with Monica Kau of Signature Bloom for flowers. Everything was last minute with not much thorough plans. Daniela met Joey for the first time on her wedding day at my photography studio in South San Francisco without a trial session beforehand yet, she couldn’t be happier with her look. And when Monica delivered her bouquet, Daniela beamed with happiness. Her dream wedding was coming together piece by piece. The ceremony was short, sweet and perfect with the beautiful and iconic Golden Gate Bridge in the background. When Patrick saw Daniela that day for the first time, he couldn’t hold back the happy tears. They exchanged vows at Crissy Fields and then we headed to North Beach area for wedding portraits and ended the session at Baker Beach. I love how these photos turned out, it is filled with love and joy in their expressions.
