Located in San Francisco’s Union Square, the Westin St. Francis is quintessential San Francisco wedding destination. With plenty of shops, restaurants, throngs of people, and the iconic San Francisco cable cars ferrying people up and down Powell Street, it is a place where you can feel the energy of the city on the west coast that never sleeps. I lived in San Francisco for a number of years before moving back to the PNW, and so when this lovely couple who relocated to Seattle a few years ago decided to have their wedding at the Westin in San Francisco (where so many of their family live), I was excited to go back! And it worked out so perfectly too since we had their engagement session here in the Cascade mountains!

These two met at UC Berkeley and got engaged on a trip back to San Francisco at Cesar Chavez park, where he first asked her to be his girlfriend. And while summer in San Francisco is often characterized by chilly fog, their wedding day was hot in San Francisco terms, with the temperature climbing into the 80s! So we headed out into bright, sunny Union Square after their first look for some photographs with the wedding party and then took an Uber to Jessie Square for some photographs of the couple together. Her dress was absolutely spectacular! I loved the long train and the intricate details on the sides. Coupled with her long veil and his blue tux, these two definitely turned a lot of heads out there!

Congratulations you two! I’m so excited to share your first sneak peek at a few of the many highlights from your wedding day! It was epic in every way and with this post, we’re just getting started! Your beautiful ceremony and reception are coming soon!

Thank you so much to AnyOccasion and all of the talented vendors who helped make this beautiful wedding possible!
