Lauri Levenfeld of Zoom Photography captured this classic San Francisco wedding with her usual panache!

Melissa & Brano’s spring wedding was at the absolutely breathtaking Grace Episcopal Cathedral in downtown San Francisco with the reception following at historic and equally magnificent, City Hall.

Lauri captured the awesome beauty of Grace Cathedral as well as the sensational details of the day …

From the beautiful bride, Melissa …
Brano proposed on a rainy February afternoon in Napa … it was a perfect proposal! We wanted our wedding to be elegant, romantic and classic. We fell in love with the grand atmosphere in San Francisco’s Grace Episcopal Cathedral for our wedding. For the reception, City Hall was an instant connection … full of charm and simply amazing architecture.

To bring out the existing elegance at City Hall, we chose gold and white as our main palette with lots of candles. Cherries Flowers helped create designs that were clean and traditional with a hint of modern. The flowers were all white with a bit of green in the bridesmaids’ bouquets to bring out the green in their dresses.

This gorgeous cake is from Butterfly Cakes.

Melissa and Brano’s stunning wedding was choreographed by Melissa Panico of MAP Events.


What a fantastic wedding party!! Melissa’s gorgeous gown is by Jin Wang. Other wedding vendors include: Barbara Callow, calligraphy; McCall’s, catering; Jim Avila, make-up/hair.
Congratulations Melissa & Brano!!
And a huge thank you to Lauri Levenfeld and second-shooter Page Bertelsen of Zoom Photography. We kind of have to agree with Daily Candy’s quote on the front page of Lauri’s website … “If Lauri’s not available … change the date!”

Can I see a more detailed photo of the cake??? I'm wanting exactly that! Could you email it to me?! :) THANKS!
What a beautiful wedding!
GORGEOUS! LOVELY!
I was just in Grace Cathedral walking the labyrinth there with my kids. How amazing it would have been to be married there. And, oh my, that stairway entrance for their reception!!! I'd feel like Scarlett O'Hara!
Beautiful pictures. Unbelievable photographer. I want more pictures of the bride though...the centerpiece of the wedding. Lovely lovely
WOW I adore a gorgeous chandelier and a stunning pair of shoes -- but putting them together in one picture is absolutely amazing :)
Such an elegant and classic wedding! Love the location!!!
I always passed Grace Cathedral on my way to school when I was growing up. I didn't realize how beautiful that place was on the inside.
S.F. City Hall is a venue I'm dying to plan a wedding in. Maybe one day, I'll plan a destination wedding in San Francisco!
What is the brand of the gold shoes! Love them!
I love the invites! The words really pop. Are those letter press?
Great job Jenne!
Very very very pretty - gorgeous wedding, thanks for posting, a lot of great ideas
