Four Seasons San Francisco Wedding – Vika and Steve!

Four Seasons San Francisco Wedding (17)

 

Vika and Steve’s wedding at the modern Four Seasons in SF was as spectacular as it was intimate. Something special takes place when a couple makes use of the love they have for each other to create an event that truly satiates the senses of their guests. We were honored to be invited to come along and to have the opportunity to document the celebration.

The day started with meeting Steve’s mom in the morning and feeling all of the pent up excitement. Ellen was very happy that the wedding day was finally here and that we’re the photographers. Both moms were particularly emotional, in fact, and it really made Nat remember how involved and emotional her mom was as well at our own wedding.

The day was elaborate and included many parts and locations – we were shooting for 14 hours! It was incredible to see the smooth and effortless way in which the event designer handled it. Lana of Miracle Events was almost invisible and yet omnipresent enough to ensure that the event went off without a hitch. We truly felt blessed as it made our day so much easier. Thank you Lana!

Vika and Steve have a connection that made every one of their many guests feel like they’re a part of something special. Vika is finishing up her medical program in Cincinnati now and she’ll only be able to visit Steve occasionally over the next year. We hope these photographs will make it easier for this time to pass.
