It was 2010. The Giants had just won the World Series. Their homecoming parade was pretty amazing… Among the crowd was a beautiful brunette who bleeds green and gold, but was supporting the orange and black. In walks a handsome man who is a die hard Lou Seal fan- he sees her – The rest is history (and will be on another post)!
For now… Please enjoy their sneak peek of their beautiful morning at the St. Regis, San Francisco… A little rain couldn’t stop the love from flowing all day!
Christine and Nate’s colors for their wedding were red and black. A stunning coupling for the modern elegance of the St. Regis.
Her solid red bouquet was breath taking and was hand wrapped in fabric from her dress.
Oh, the dress – and the veil! I’m a sucker for beautiful gowns (this dress is from the wonderful J’aime Bridal in Pleasanton) and cathedral length veils. I just love their beauty and elegance. I wore one 9 years ago and it was hands down my favorite part of the day (other than being with my hubby of course!
One thing that I love to do with my brides, if possible, is a first look with their father. I love capturing Dad’s reaction when he sees his baby girl for the first time on her wedding day. While the bride is emotional to see her dad as she twirls in her dress and shows him the details of her gown – he is emotional for a very different reason.
Christine’s father, Ed, just couldn’t take his eyes of his baby girl and her glowing smile. It’s the not the dress, the hair, or the flowers for him – it’s all about her radiant beauty and how happy she is to be marring the love of her life.
And because the reception was so stunning – I have to show you a sneak peek of that too!
