San Jose Cathedral Basilica of St. Joseph Church & San Francisco’s The Conservatory of One Sansome Wedding

I had the wonderful pleasure of photographing A+M’s wedding, a beautiful celebration that unfolded across three cities and five stunning locations! Our journey began in San Jose, where both the bride and groom prepared for their big day in their own homes.

To honor the groom’s Assyrian heritage, his friends and family gathered for a joyous procession, cheering and dancing from his home to the bride’s. This vibrant moment culminated in a touching first look, where both A and M shed tears of joy upon seeing each other in their wedding attire. The bride joined in the celebration, further highlighting the love and excitement of the day.

The ceremony took place at the majestic Cathedral Basilica of St. Joseph, where our bride’s Mexican culture was beautifully represented by a live mariachi band. Their lively music filled the air as she walked down the aisle and continued to play as the newlyweds made their way back together, a perfect soundtrack to their union.

For portraits, we ventured to the picturesque Elizabeth Gamble Garden in Palo Alto. The blooming magnolia tree provided a stunning backdrop, capturing the essence of their love in every shot.

The celebration then moved to The Conservatory at One Sansome in San Francisco, one of the newest venues in the area. The reception was a delightful mix of classic and modern elegance, featuring rich forest green linens and an abundance of beautiful florals. Surrounded by friends and family, A and M celebrated their love in style.

It was truly an honor to be part of A+M’s special day. Congratulations to the happy couple! Your love story is just beginning, and I can’t wait to see where it takes you.
