A San Francisco Wedding: Cheryl and Rei

Cheryl and Rei celebrated with a cathedral ceremony, City Hall portraits, a large wedding party, and a glowing nighttime reception.

Cheryl Villamor and Rei Friera built their San Francisco wedding around the city's most recognizable architecture. A cathedral ceremony, formal City Hall portraits, and a nighttime reception gave the story a strong sense of place.

Silver wedding-party attire and white orchids kept the styling clean against the ornate interiors and stone façades.
