There's a lot of Giants love in my house. I played D1 softball in college at UNC, and I love baseball. And I mean, two championships in three seasons (this last one doesn't count) - how could you not love the Giants? I even drink out of Giants water cups everyday! But, I don't think the Giants love in our house holds a candle to the love that Tracy and Frank have for them. They went so far as to do wedding party portraits at AT&T Park and check out that amazing cake topper! It's pretty epic.
Tracy and Frank were married at the Bently Reserve right in the heart of the Financial District in San Francisco. Everything about their wedding was quintessential San Francisco elegance. The historic building where they held their wedding was gorgeous, we went on a cable car ride around town for portraits, and even the cold windy weather in June was typical SF. We had a blast photographing these two, who know how to throw a killer party (the dancing photos at the bottom of the post are evidence of that!). Congrats Tracy and Frank! We had so much fun getting to know you during your engagement session and wedding!

So, there's this 
Whenever we meet with our clients, we always ask them what they're most excited about for the wedding. You know what they say? Aside from the actual getting married part, everyone is always most excited for the people. It's a pretty rare thing to have all the people in the world closest to you in the same place at the same time to celebrate you. And Sarah and Ben have a pretty phenomenal group of people around them. Their friend Sam wrote and officiated one of the most beautiful ceremonies we've seen, and it was obvious that these two come from very loving and supportive families. I should know, Sarah's mom, Lyssa, taught me English in tenth grade, and she was one of my favorite teachers. In that sense, I was also excited for this wedding because I got to see lots of familiar faces (and two of my other favorite teachers) from my high school. But, enough about me.
On their very first date at Pinkberry on Santana Row in San Jose, Frances and Joe had no way of knowing that Joe would eventually propose to Frances there, or that they would get married just a couple hundred feet away at the Hotel Valencia and have their wedding portraits taken on the very spot where Joe proposed under a tree in front of the same Pinkberry where they had their first date. Okay that was a long sentence, but I had a lot of serendipity to pack in. Especially because when we met they didn't have a venue, and it was only after going back to their spot that they settled on Hotel Valencia. So, given their history, I fully expect Frances to give birth to their first child under the oak tree in front of Pinkberry on Santana Row. I kid (pun intended), but isn't it crazy how things work out sometimes?
Prior to their wedding, we had spent a lot of time with Alisha and Alan - both during their engagement session in San Francisco and during our first consultation with them at a dive bar in Woodside. So, given their vivacious personalities, we knew this was going to be a fantastic wedding. Yet, even with our high expectations, we were blown away. During his toast, Alisha's dad said there are only two types of people in the world: Italians and people who wished they were Italian. I can't say that that is true, but I can say that these Italians sure know how to have a good time. Then again, I am a sucker for those moments when ALL of the wedding guests squeeze onto the dance floor, clutching one another and swaying as they serenade the couple with "That's Amore." Yep, that happened.
