Heewon and Jimmy met through mutual friends, then discovered they lived three blocks apart in San Francisco, so it fit that their wedding weekend felt like a love letter to the Bay Area. Guests flew in from the East Coast and Korea, and the festivities opened with a welcome party at Harlan Records in downtown San Francisco. Jimmy started the wedding day with a sunrise bike ride with his closest friends, a nod to the weekends he and Heewon spend cycling in Marin. Once everyone was dressed, we headed down to Battery Yates for portraits before the ceremony, with the Golden Gate Bridge close by. A good friend officiated on Cavallo Point’s Mission Blue Lawn, where the couple exchanged vows they had written separately and finished with a traditional Korean bow to their parents. Heewon and Jimmy then led their guests in a wedding parade to cocktail hour, while the three of us ducked away for sunset portraits with the Golden Gate Bridge by the Moore Road Pier. They rejoined the party on the Callippe Patio before heading into the Callippe Ballroom for dinner, where a Caravaggio-inspired mix of fruit, florals, and rich fall textures set the scene. The LED dance floor became the center of the night, with the youngest guests the first to pile on. The last song, "Opus" by Eric Prydz, was the track that played when Jimmy proposed on New Year's Eve, and the crowd was still chanting for more when the DJ queued up an encore. For a couple who once lived three blocks apart in the city, getting married with the Golden Gate Bridge in view felt like exactly the right place to begin.
