Nicole and Tony's elegant and timeless courthouse wedding at San Francisco City Hall is my top favorite place for California courthouse weddings. The grand and lavish architecture makes for stunning photographs that are unlike any other place.


I met Nicole at UC Santa Barbara when I was a freshman and she was a senior. We quickly became friends, and we've shared so many wonderful memories together over the years.

One of my favorite memories is of the time we slept over at her apartment. We stayed up late talking and laughing, and she made me the most Instagram worthy sunny side up eggs for breakfast. We also spent a lot of time roaming around downtown Santa Barbara, exploring all the shops and taking photos of each other. Nicole is one of the most kind, caring, and artistic people I know. I am so happy she found Tony and that they have each other!


At the request of Nicole, the photos of her guests and the ceremony are not included in this blog. However, the photos of Nicole and Tony are still immaculate and worth seeing.
