Alex and Joey got married The Clift Royale Senestra Hotel in San Francisco. It was a sweet natured affair with lots of fun. It is always beautiful to be surrounded by that loving energy. Their ceremony took place on the top floor. Awesome portraits were had out on the balcony overlooking a vast expanse of San Francisco, with a little fog coming in from the west. My wife was a champ in being there to pick us up after the ceremony, so we didn’t have to mess around with an uber/lyft, in going for a quick and efficient portrait session at Huntington Park, atop Nob Hill. Later the reception was back at the hotel. A touching reel of the couple as kids played for the party, and I’m not going to lie to you - I shed a tear. Their deejay was spinning vinyl and had impeccable taste and kept the grooves and the people going. It was really a treat to get to document their special day.

Natalie and Ben are two savants that found each other at an early age. They are really sweet together and super cerebral on a wide range of disciplines. For instance during our engagement session I was able to see their relationship and minds work in playful, as well as intellectual ways. They both work in math and science based fields, but can easily go in-depth on plant anatomy and then seamlessly shift into politics at a high level. They will poke fun and laugh at another’s infinitesimally small neglected detail on a concept. Super cute. Anyway, their wedding was a perfect combination of their personalities and the fusion of traditional jewish wedding customs with the modern world. At one point there was a wedding shtick where guests entertained and bemused the bride and groom with stunts, tricks and performances. What!? It was fun and lots of smiles were to be found. Enjoy.
