Anywhere else in the world, that may seem like a complicated combination but not here! Isabella and Rotimi wanted to make sure to incorporate their culture into their fantastic event at the Legion of Honor. Isabella’s side is Chinese (from Hawaii) and Swedish, Rotimi’s family from Nigeria. The easiest way to honor your culture is…

You may wonder what I mean by “very California” … I could actually be a little more specific and say a very San Francisco celebration. I am a native San Franciscan and when I look at the photos from Kerri & Sjimon’s wedding, they just scream San Francisco (or, as some might say, they’re “hella”…

I’ll be the first to say that I love Indian weddings. I love everything about them – the amazingly colorful clothing, the delicious food, the music and dancing, the sangeet, the baraat, the henna, all of it.

You may recognize Rachael and Indy from our posting a year ago.

To help start out this new year on a high note, here are just a…

As we prepare to enter 2022, the Japanese proverb nicely sums up our feelings toward the past two years and the year coming. Honestly, who would have thought that we’d still be dealing with the pandemic this long?! Regardless of the situation, love keeps moving forward. 2021 saw fewer weddings, couples learned to roll with…

That’s how many times Krystina and Kaz had to switch their wedding date due to pandemic restrictions. But all those date changes didn’t make the event any less fantastic!
