Facebook Wedding

Well. It was a BEAUTIFUL bride and BEAUTIFUL wedding.

I landed in SF Thursday afternoon in time to rush over to St Dominic's Church to catch the wedding party during rehearsal.



At 5'10" without heels, bride Christina should have been a supermodel.



Unfortunately, her brains got the best of her and from Stanford she went straight to working for Facebook.

Her mom and two older brothers were gorgeous too.

The gene pool is so unfair sometimes.



Everyone had radiant smiles.







And on wedding day, the bride REALLY cleaned up.



We LOVES a little groomsboy!



Loved the bridesmaid dresses and bridesmaids as well.




It was a large wedding.



Everyone was REALLY happy and pretty.








After the ceremony, we headed over to The Bentley Reserve for the reception.

The venue was phenomenal.



And the party was off the hook.

Anytime I went near a bar I'd be forced to a do a shot with whatever group was currently doing them.






Eventually the bartender was just filling up trays of shots and handing them out to the whole room.



The DJ was also one of the best wedding DJ's I'd ever heard. It helped that he played One Direction.



So fun!




Because this was a big Facebook wedding, I made sure to post some teaser photos on FB as soon as I woke up.

It paid off, by 2pm I had a request for another Facebook wedding!



Unfortunately I'm already booked that day. But hopefully I will become the Facebook crowd's go-to wedding photographer.

THAT would be sick.

Damn...I should have had them pay me in Facebook stock.

Doug's little sis gets married!

So I've been in SF for the past several days to photograph Doug's little sister Annie's wedding festivities.



We were staying in the wonderful Hotel Vitale, right in the Embarcadero overlooking the water.



For the girls' (there were about 12 of them) hair and makeup and general getting-ready, they booked the Circular Suite which featured an endless number of windows...







It made taking cool pictures really really easy.























Gary, the groom has three brothers. And they are all adorable.







Not as adorable as Annie's big brother though...too bad every time I pointed a camera at him he'd make some weird face or throw me a shocker...











Doug can be such a cutie when he wants to be...







They got married in a gorgeous Catholic church.









The groom's mom looked proud as ever.







And Doug and Annie's mom look radiant as well.







And all the groomboys and bridesmaids were pretty too.







Yay wedding!















The bride and groom were last to emerge from the church...







And were greeted by all their guests in trolleys.







The parents looked like fancy diplomats.







I love this wedding party shot with the streets of San Francisco rising up behind them.







Cute!







Super cute with the groom and his brothers.









Finally, it was onto the reception at the Ferry Building.







There was the usual dancing and speechgiving and laughing.

















And crazyface aunts of course.







And then late night they served mini-burgers made from grass-fed beef from the groom and his brothers' cattle empire. Deeeelicious.







Thanks for hooking me up with the job Dougie!







Congrats Annie and Gary!
