Golden Gate Club Wedding » San Francisco, California » Erin Prado for VCP

Michelle and Justin's San Francisco wedding was a celebration that perfectly balanced intimate moments with joyful festivities against some of the city's most iconic backdrops. After getting ready with her closest friends, Michelle met Justin for their first look at the Golden Gate Bridge overlook in the Presidio, where the two exchanged private vows beneath the shelter of towering cypress trees with the bridge stretching majestically behind them. The emotional weight of that quiet moment together set the tone for the rest of their day, giving them a chance to say everything they wanted to each other before sharing their love with everyone else. From there, they made their way to the Golden Gate Club, where they exchanged official vows on the lawn of the historic Presidio Chapel in a ceremony filled with happy tears and heartfelt emotion. Once they were officially married, the couple joined their guests for cocktail hour at the Golden Gate Club, soaking in the celebration and excitement of the moment. Mid-dinner, Michelle and Justin snuck away for a few precious minutes to capture sunset portraits at the stunning Tunnel Tops Park, where the golden light and sweeping city views provided the perfect backdrop for newlywed portraits. Returning to the reception, they were greeted by a round of hilarious toasts that had everyone laughing, followed by wedding cake, their first dance, and a dance party that kept the energy high all evening.

This wedding was photographed by associate photographer, Erin Prado.
