When Julia and I first talked about her destination wedding vision, I was hooked. You could say she had me the minute she said “San Francisco”, but as I heard more about her relationship with Tarun and the heart behind their day, I knew it was a wedding I wanted to be a part of. I am so thankful they chose me to be their photographer, as words can’t even begin to describe how much of a joy it was to photograph their day!

We started off the morning at an AirBnb suite in Mill Valley — think winding roads, coastal views, and the most beautiful trees you’ve ever seen!

 I loved the neutral color scheme Julia chose — how gorgeous are these white mismatched bridesmaid dresses?!
Love the one on the right of Julia seeing her sweet flower girl all dressed up :)
After capturing a few quick shots of the girls in the garden, it was time to head to the dock for Julia & Tarun’s first look!:) :) :) Gorgeous!!!!

Julia & Tarun chose to say their vows on the Bay — how awesome is that?!

Officially Mr & Mrs!!!Once the ceremony was over, we took a gorgeous tour of the San Francisco Bay — and even went right out under the Golden Gate Bridge! The guests were able to enjoy a light cocktail hour and some gorgeous views!!
The party got started near the end of our cruise: an excellent preview for the festivities of the official reception later on! :) Haha!
Isn’t Julia the most breath-taking bride?! Love this moment so much!

They are the sweetest!! :) :) 

And let’s not even get started with the bridal party — best group of guys & girls around!!!

 

 

Reception take 2! Julia & Tarun chose one of the most unique venus I’ve ever photographed for their evening: The Harmonia, a refurbished recording studio that once hosted artists such as Fleetwood Mac, The Rolling Stones, Dave Mathews, and Bob Marley!!! This place had character, guys, and I loved every second of it!
Love all of these so much!

Julia and Tarun,

Thank you SO much for letting me be a part of your day!!! Nothing made me happier than seeing the joy you two bring each other — I am so excited for everything this life holds for you and can’t wait to see the adventures the years bring! Congratulations again!

Love love love,

Sami
