The winter months are usually a quiet time for weddings, however, this didn’t stop Anna and Gene from having a spectacular event this January at Mark Hopkins hotel in San Francisco. The day was rain free and we were able to take photos with the couple at a several different spots throughout the city. We had a great time taking photos on the Embarcadero, at Sir Frances Drake hotel, and of course, on Nob Hill.

I’ve known Gene since we went to college and it was an honor to be there. There was no shortage of gorgeous details, special lighting, and emotions for us to photograph on this big day. We loved shooting at Mark Hopkins hotel and this wedding was gorgeous in every way.
