On its own, San Francisco is one of the most amazing cities you’ll ever see. But add in a stunning duo looking to say “I do” at its historic City Hall and that’s upping the ante on amazing times about twenty. Because this, loves, isn’t just any wedding… it’s a drop-dead gorgeous elopement with a glamorous vintage vibe and an entire world of breathtaking images from Catherine Guidry. See them all here.
From Catherine Guidry…. “Serendipity” interchangeably used with “Happy Accident” or “Pleasant Surprise” is a phrase Kristin + Philip often use to describe their relationship. Serendipity also stems from “Serendip” which is an old name for Sri Lanka, the country Philip’s dad is from.
Four years to that serendipitous first evening they met, Kristin + Philip tied the knot in San Francisco’s City Hall! After initially planning a New Orleans wedding, they decided an elopement was more in line with the vision for their day. San Francisco is a place they’ve wanted to visit for some time and after seeing the City Hall there, they were convinced it was the perfect spot for their elopement!
We started the afternoon at Powell Hotel, took a limo to City Hall for their ceremony, and finished the afternoon shooting at sunset on Baker Beach!
Kristin had so many lovely details including a GORGEOUS brooch bouquet that their families contributed to, vintage gloves, two beautiful dresses for the occasion… and a handsome husband to match! Philip also wore his own custom-made cufflinks; and was surprised with his grandfather’s wedding ring… now engraved with both his grandparents’ wedding date and his own.
