While Katie and Wallace currently live in Massachusetts, Katie’s heart still takes up a part-time residence in San Francisco.  She lived there for a time a while back and it made a huge impression on her and she knew that it was where she would eventually want to get married.

Their fun and adventurous day started out with a beautiful, intimate and emotional ceremony at the historical and beautiful Old St. Hilary’s chapel in Tiburon.  We then took a tour all around San Francisco and eventually landed at the grand Intercontinental Mark Hopkins Hotel, safe and sound.  And let me tell you, getting there safe and sound was a worry at one point!  We had the craziest limo driver that got lost at every turn, and we also had to brave one of the rainiest days I’ve seen in a long time.  Being in the limo, and huddling under umbrellas together made us all fast friends, however; and everyone ate, drank and laughed through the whole day!  It was truly an honor to be included in this small group and I will never forget the fun we had.  Congratulations to you two!!

Dave was itchin’ to show off his funny side. I said let loose!

Marci and Nick… thanks for hanging in there. I know the traffic was horrible that day but I think these were absolutely worth it! (we had our session the week the bay bridge was closed. took us 2 + hours to get into the city! yikes!)

Love the bats at the Giants park in SF:

There was a common theme running throughout Colleen and Robs wedding day: dancing and laughter. And boy was there dancing! I arrived at the Argonaut Hotel where Colleen was getting ready to find her just finishing with her hair and makeup. As soon as that was finished she practiced her father-daughter dance with her dad in the middle of the hotel suite… just to make sure they would both be in step just a few hours later at the reception. : )

As the ceremony was about to start I think the girls were getting a little antsy… ready for the ceremony to start already. So to pass the time they danced. In the middle of Grace Cathedral. A few of the girls were bustin out Elaine moves!

After the ceremony it was onto the Log Cabin in the Presidio. That log cabin was utterly transformed thanks to the help of Melissa Panico of Map Events, Creative Lighting and Flowers by a Simple Ceremony. Make sure to check out the details at the end of this post. Stunning!

But of course, the night would not have been complete with more dancing…. who knew that the dance floor would be that packed?!! It was crazy out there! Colleen and Rob, your dancing photos put the biggest smiles on my face. And for the general readers here: I did not post them just in case anyone would be offended by having their crazy dance moves on the blog. But you guys rocked the dance floor, all thanks to the great band The Fundamentals.

The veil worn by 5 generations… I love how the stars on the carpet show through along with the lace:

I think this would make a cool two page spread in their album. what do you think?

Colleen’s hair and makeup done by the wonderful Sarah Hyde:

Lhuve the lighting!
