Heather & John ~ Old Saint Mary's Cathedral & the United Irish Cultural Center, San Francisco



Heather & John had a beautiful, quintessential, San Francisco wedding on May 31st, 2008!

Heather got ready at the Fairmont Hotel, with incredible views of the city from her suite. The ceremony was held where her grandparents were married, in Old Saint Mary's Cathedral in San Francisco.



After the ceremony, the wedding party took a trolley car through San Francisco to some of the most scenic sites and architecture in the city. I've included some favorites below. More are in the slideshow!







Finally, the reception was held at the United Irish Cultural Center, where John's family is actively involved.




The beautiful details were expertly arranged by Cindy Danbom and her team at Belle Notte Events, and the cultural ties encorporated into the floral design by Nancy Liu Chin Designs, which transformed the amazing reception space. What a beautiful and fun night!


I loved the lighting design, and found some great moments backlighting the fun on the dancefloor. Here are a few faves:




So fun!



Heather & John's guests had a great time too - and we have the pictures to prove it! :) Here, the heroine was the beautiful Cindy Danbom, wearing the many hats that an expert planner must... carefully stiching the chin of one guest who's Irish wedding jig got a bit too dangerous! It's all fun & games until.... :)





Really though, a good time was definitely had by all!
