It is only fitting for two people who love the outdoors to first meet on a camping trip, which I must add are in tents …I mean intense.  And if it weren’t for said tents, they probably wouldn’t have had a reason to first get to know each other, as it was Aaron who helped Rachel set hers up.  I am sure a few sparks flew across the campfire between Rachel and Aaron that weekend, but it wasn’t until a few months later that they had their first real date and were able to share another passion: good beer.  From then on they were an unstoppable duo doing everything together from hiking and camping to brewing, beer tasting, and cooking.  I knew they were my kind of people when we had our first meeting at Local Brewing Company in SF.  The whole time I was thinking, “I like beer…you guys like beer, I shoot weddings…your getting married…sooooo.”  I am very thankful the feeling was mutual and I got to capture their big day!

Their wedding was absolutely gorgeous!  Rachel looked like a timeless beauty in her birdcage veil, which was so fitting for their art deco inspired wedding at The City Club of San Francisco.  Everything from the invites to the bridesmaid dresses and floral arrangements exuded class and glamour…exactly what a San Francisco wedding aught to be.  I had so much fun capturing the beautiful Jewish traditions during the ceremony and celebratory dancing to the live band at the reception! It was a pleasure to be a part of your wedding day, Rachel & Aaron!  Congrats and Cheers!
