Saints Peter + Paul Catholic Church & Golden Gate Club Wedding » San Francisco, California /  by Vivian Chen

Sarah and Mike had a classic San Francisco wedding. Since both of them had a lot of guests coming from out of town, they really wanted to showcase the city where they fell in love. Sarah and Mike were married at the famous Saints Peter and Paul Catholic Church in North Beach. After the traditional ceremony, they hopped on a cable car with their wedding party for a drive around the city where we stopped at Crissy Field for some photos in front of the Golden Gate Bridge. The party continued at the Golden Gate Club in the Presidio where everyone enjoyed a delicious meal and cocktails before partying the night away to live music by Retro Jukebox Band.

Presidio Wood Line + Baker Beach Engagement Session /  by Vivian Chen

Sarah and Mike's relationship blossomed in San Francisco with a first date that had a rocky start due to a rude waiter but quickly and naturally unfolded to a five hour long evening full of laughter and beer at a local dive bar. When Mike decided to propose to Sarah, he surprised her during a trip home to Georgia. Enlisting the help of Sarah's nephew who brought in the ring, he popped the question in front of her family on the same weekend as her her parent's 45th wedding anniversary. Since she lives so far away from her family, it was extra special to have everyone be a part of that moment. For their engagement session, we chose start at the Wood Line in the Presidio as Sarah loves eucalyptus trees. Afterwards, we wrapped up the shoot at Baker Beach for some iconic Golden Gate Bridge photos.
