The whole family pitched in to make Lilly & Brian’s wedding a reality at The Canyon View Dining Hall in San Ramon. Flowers, decorations, and favors were all hand made for the happy couple. They exchanged their vows under an arbor of crystals and flowers, followed by a sand ceremony that captured the meaning of their two lives becoming one. After the ceremony, the newlyweds took some time for themselves walking hand-in-hand through the garden. With her wild “disco ball shoes” (as she described them), Lilly looked just liked Cinderella, which automatically made Brian her Prince Charming! However, that sweetness certainly had a sassy side when the sun went down and the music came up, as they started the party and everyone bust out their dance moves. Surrounded by family and friends, they danced night away until the last note of the last song was played. Congrats Lilly & Brian!

It was a perfect San Jose summer afternoon at Boulder Ridge Golf Club, where Taryn and David said “I do”, under the same chuppah used by Taryn’s parents at their wedding. They shared wine, prayer, stories and laughter while being closely surrounded by their family. After the ceremony, the newlyweds quickly hopped into  their personalized “Just Married” golf cart and sped off towards the tranquil golf course for some quiet time. Upon returning, they were greeted by family and friends under a spectacular sunset while inside, the music was going and the party was starting. One minute their feet were firmly on the ground and the next they were both hoisted up into the air for a rousing Hora, where they were celebrated as ’king and queen of the night’. The only way to wrap up their celebration was with sparkles! So, they quickly changed outfits, had one last dance, and then ran out under a canopy of sparklers. They hopped into another golf cart and faded into the distance — and we hear they are in Europe now (no, not entirely via golf cart). Congratulations Taryn and David! Thank you for sharing so much with us.

It’s Vanessa and Brad’s rockin’ wedding at San Francisco’s oldest nightclub, The Great American Music Hall. As the lights dimmed and they took the stage, their guests were carried back to an earlier elegant era, under ornate balconies, soaring marble columns and elaborate ceiling frescoes. Vanessa and Brad’s wedding vows were sweet, funny, sexy and full of love! Next, no San Francisco wedding would be complete without a cable car to whisk them through the city streets, complete with a quick photo stop at Alamo Square. Upon their return, it was straight to the dance floor where no one left since the music never stopped. This was truly Vanessa and Brad’s rockin’ dream wedding come true. For that night, they were the rock stars of the Great American Music Hall… but they will be starring as husband and wife for years to come. Congrats Vanessa & Brad!
