September in San Francisco is hands down the best time to get married. As a SF September bride myself, I just love visiting the city when the tempratures are mild, yet warm, the fog is absent and the tourists have gone away – well almost all of them.  Justin and Brianne are from the hockey playing nation just North of our boarder – yup! Canada! These Oilers fans (shhh.. go Sharks!) opted for the City by the Bay because in their previous trips to our lovely city, they fell in love with it all. The majestic Golden Gate, the hills, the people and all the things that make San Francisco amazing. The two quickly settled on the beautiful Hotel Vitale – a rooftop wedding and party that overlook the ferry building and the Bay Bridge – what could top that?! Nothing other than their amazing love for one another, the sweet daughter that they share, and of course, a smashing good party!

Enjoy! Getting ready to walk down the isle, Justin held their daughter, who was their flower girl. The two stayed traditional and waited until the ceremony to see each other. Justin literally held his breath and then smiled ear to ear – the biggest I saw all day – when he saw his beautiful bride walk towards him on the arm of her father. After the ceremony, Justin and Brianne scheduled a limo and three hours – THREE HOURS – to venture around the city to take pictures. Now, San Francisco on a Friday afternoon can be a little crazy, so we narrowed town our adventure to the Ferry Building, Crissy Field and a Cable Car depot! They were so much fun to ride around with – jamming out to California Love.

What did Brianne have to say about her experience?

“Hi Karey!
Just wanted to extend my deepest thanks for being the most amazing photographer I could have even imagined for my wedding! You were so much fun to shoot with and us, along with our bridal party and guests were all so impressed by the job you did. You literally did not skip a beat and the few pics we’ve seen already are breathtaking! Cannot wait to see the rest. You are a true gem and I’m so glad we found you 🙂 Thanks again Karey!
Brianne”
