Weekends have looked different for many of us in the wedding industry but we wanted to pop in to say that love prevails through it all! Our couples have found creative ways to proceed with their wedding plans even if that meant downsizing their guest count or sharing their day virtually with guests.

Micro-weddings have been a popular trend, and we have to say that getting to see the intimate moments couples can share with their guests is pretty incredible. Speaking of beautiful Micro-Weddings, today we are sharing highlights from Taylar & Daniel’s ceremony at Irongate Garden Inn in Chico. {Photos by Joel Jauregui Photography}

Taylar’s ability to roll with the obstacles and changes throughout her planning was pretty amazing, her focus was on her ceremony and to only put energy into what was within her control. This is so challenging, we know that no couple wants to be impacted by something like Covid-19 but our hearts are so full when we see love win like this! Joel captured their day so beautifully!

From our fun phone sessions to visiting them in San Francisco to walk their space with them, we've been pretty hooked on Laura and Leah from the start. If there is one thing that keeps us so passionate about what we do, it would definitely be the connections that we make with our couples. Our glimpse into their world was cozy, energetic and so genuine.

It was no surprise that Laura and Leah's engagement shoot was featured in the Knot Northern California edition, shot by Amanda Wei Photography. We knew their photos would be super adorable.

When it came to planning details with Laura and Leah, they were quick to make decisions and knew just what they wanted. They had already selected their date and ceremony location, and we were so excited to be a part of a ceremony at the San Francisco City Hall. The architecture and the romantic buzz of couples getting married all around us was so fun. Next, they chose Foreign Cinema for their reception and it couldn't be more perfect for an intimate event.

Our favorite part of the evening had to be Laura and Leah's salsa dance that was so perfectly them, and their smiles just showed how in love they are!

Foreign Cinema blew us away with their amazing staff & service not to mention the passed appetizers followed by a four course meal with delicious dessert. Guests did not leave hungry, and they danced the night away. We couldn't have loved their wedding day more, just an absolute joy to share in the love between the two of them and their beautiful family & friends.
