More coming soon from this gorgeous wedding at The Haven at Tomales. What a golden hour! Congratulations, David and Nina!
Colorful and Stylish Multi-Day Celebration
Andrew and Cy entered marriage as they do everything in life—in spectacular style. The couple held three events over two days, starting at Moongate Lounge, a mid-century modern listening room located above Mister Jiu’s in Chinatown. The couple wanted to host this reception dinner so Cy’s parents, who flew in from the Philippines, could meet Andrew’s. Moongate is not only a stunning venue, but a nod to the couple's time frequenting Mister Jiu’s for immaculate Chinese food. Cy arrived in a shimmering gold gown that looked lux and cool all at once.
The next day started with a San Francisco City Hall ceremony amid the classical revival architecture. The monumental domed rotunda set the stage for gorgeous photographs of the couple next to the curves and flow of the building. The officiation and vows were read from cell phones in true modern fashion, and bride Cy looked ultra-trendy and flawless in her unique dress of sheer sleeves, pearls, and bling. The couple's fashionable style effortlessly blended new and old next to the building's marble floors and granite columns.
After the ceremony, A+C invited guests to Viridian Bar in Oakland. The couple’s love for the Bay, good food, and one-of-a-kind experiences shined through at Viridian. The venue served as a fantastic backdrop for the artsy couple’s dinner with velvet seats, hues of neon pink, and intricate details. The evening was filled with non-stop laughter as guests took photos before a purple sequin wall with humorous props of crab claws, construction hats, and crowns.

Concrete and Coastline | Urban Elopement
Gagandeep and Jasmeet began their wedding day with an early morning photoshoot in San Francisco’s newly developed Crane Cove Park. The bride, an architect and five year resident of the adjacent Dogpatch neighborhood, is drawn to urban landscapes where industrial concrete merges with the natural world and textures contrast in striking ways. The groom, in from New York City, was delighted with 68 degrees in February.
A sweet and intimate ceremony followed at Oakland City Hall with a few close friends and family. The group made up for their small numbers in energy and enthusiasm: breaking into a post-ceremony dance party and dishing out homemade sheera.
Festive Harvest Gathering at Concannon Winery
Lauren and David’s autumnal winery wedding was wrapped in rich reds, dark woods, and festive pumpkin table settings. This was the couple’s second wedding celebration, having held their minimony in their Danville backyard the summer before. The minimony was a small gathering filled with love and Zoom calls to family, but the couple was ready to really get down with a proper celebration at the Concannon Vineyards in Livermore.
L+D held a cocktail hour on the lawn and patio among wine barrels and lanterns, and then repeated their vows for the larger crowd. This time, David’s family from Jamaica and New Jersey were able to witness the couple profess their love in person, not over the internet! Lauren’s dog Lou even made an appearance in a very dapper dress shirt.
This wedding was also special for the duo because they shared it with their beautiful baby girl, Sally Joan. After heartfelt toasts and dinner, the party took it to the dance floor for a night of moving and shaking. Although the adventure-loving couple had to reschedule multiple times due to the pandemic, both of their weddings were joyous occasions of immense love and memory-making.
