This my last wedding and post of the year. And I couldn't have ended my wedding season with a more amazing couple. Deidre and Derek not only created a sophisticated wedding along with the creative mind of Courtney Reed of Help Me Get Hitched, but a day full of laughter and love. Deidre started the day getting ready in the heart of San Francisco at the hip and chic Kensington Park Hotel and then Deidre and her gals hopped into her private car for the first look with her handsome husband-to-be on Treasure Island. At their first look they even gave each other sentimental gifts. I always love a first look, but I have to say the highlight of the their first look was when Derek came to the realization that Deidre gave him the same wedding day card as he gave her. (See photos below). From the ceremony at the Treasure Island Chapel to sunset photos with the San Francisco skyline as the backdrop to the reception at Winery SF, the day was nothing less than perfect. Deidre and Derek, It seems like yesterday we were chatting about your engagement and now you are married. Thank you for giving me the privilege of photographing your special day. You two are one of the most humble, thoughtful couples I have had the joy to photograph. Happy Holidays! Enjoy xoxo, Stacey
You know a couple is meant for each other when they pick out the same card for each other. Derek's reaction when he saw Deidre's card is priceless. I don't know how Deidre kept a straight face when she opened Derek's card.
