Joann & Dennis decided to host a destination wedding in San Francisco last month, and Kelvin photographed all the festivities. Joann & Dennis both have great personal style, and that is reflected throughout their celebration. They chose the color combo of hot pink and chocolate, and the colors look vibrant, fresh and fun. Since the couple lives in San Diego, they decided to hire a wedding planner to help them manage the details, and we were delighted to finally have a chance to work with Michelle B. from MB Wedding Designs. Makeup was done by the very talented Taylor Pham, of  Faces By Taylor. And those super cute flowers were done by Poppy’s Petalworks. Here’s one of my very favorite images of the day, I think shots of a kiss just about to happen are so incredibly sexy…

Look at those cute little slippers, Joann can manage style & comfort at the same time:

After getting ready at the hotel in Union Square, the bridal party headed over to the Palace of Fine Arts for some pre ceremony group shots, which is a great way to break up the portraits and make them more fun. Kelvin had to stealthily coordinate with the ladies and the guys, as they arrived in separate limos and were not to see each other prior to the ceremony:

The decor started at the church and was carried through to the reception:

Here’s another shot from that series at the beginning of the post, I love how her hair has that windswept look to it. We got to work with Andrew Hsu from Studio MSV a videographer that we’ve been wanting to work with again since Cynthia & Wayne’s wedding a few years back.

On to the reception:

Look at how the chair covers really make the room pop. I LOVE color at receptions, and it makes such a visual impact upon entering the room. These chair covers & bows are by Especially Yours Chair Covers

Look at the desserts!!! Joann used a combination of favorite cookies, candies and baked treats in her theme colors, to the delight of her guests. The presentation of everything is what really sets it off and makes it look so inviting:

Finally, here’s the couple’s first dance:
