David & Rachel // San Francisco Wedding Photographer

City weddings have a certain hora about them, a certain level of class and sophistication all on their own. San Francisco creates a fine backdrop with tons of unique venues to choose from and the Argonaut Hotel is one of those iconic SF spots. Rachel and David got married in the center courtyard right near Ghiradelli Square — super sweet. The red brick surroundings created a gorgeous palette of soft pink, which I love. One of the many unique pieces about this day was all the creative elements David designed for the wedding. From the programs, the invitations, the buttons and the cute little cupcakes in a jar — I was in design heaven. I’m a sucker for great typography and David’s designs brought such a sweet modern flair to the event; not to mention it made the day even more personal. I absolutely loved shooting this wedding because getting a chance to hang out with David and Rachel is like hanging out with old friends. They have such a contagious love for life and for each other, its inspiring.
