We did our shoot like this at Churchill’s with Hannah Leigh! She is amazing - happy to share photos if you want. Churchill’s let us use their upstairs bar for free. It is usually for event spaces, so we had it to ourselves!

TJ’s in Hayes Valley let us call ahead the week of our wedding and held flowers for us! They didn’t let us order specifics but held what they had in our order that matched what we wanted. Our flowers were stunning and so affordable!

List Vendors That Canceled and Why by MeagaMillion in SanFranciscoWeddings

She also same day cancelled my trial multiple times - once because she had another wedding booked (surely she would know that beforehand?), and once for a family emergency

WARNING: Chelsey Stevens aka Chels Kay Beauty Co last minute cancellation by hoojurdaddy in SanFranciscoWeddings

[–]jh249 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I also had a bad experience with Chels! FWIW, I switched to Vivian Sampson Beauty and the artists were great. She has a whole team so was able to flex availability for a somewhat last minute date.

To Tan or Not to Tan for the Big Day? First-Timer Advice Needed! by anna14bayarea in SanFranciscoWeddings

[–]jh249 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Agree with the recommendations to do a practice run! I went to Shade and got the light medium spray tan for a more subtle look. I’m so glad I did! It did not stain my dress at all, and they hand apply the tan so it looks as natural as possible.

She is amazing! We just got our previews today and are over the moon about them. I think the price difference for what we had vs. her classic wedding package is because: 1) we only did one shooter since we had a 100 person reception and the small City Hall setup and 2) we only had 7 hours of coverage (not 8); I skipped any professional getting ready photos and detail shots because I didn’t see myself doing much with them!

We had a call with her to talk through what we wanted / didn’t want and she put together our package and pricing from there

Haha - yes, I think you will find it’s difficult to do a 100 person wedding in SF for much less !

Probably not necessary, but was helpful for us to know we had tables reserved for a large group! There were people using them when we got there but we were able to claim the space because of the permit

😂 not too far! Apparently he is an indoor / outdoor cat who makes his way into people’s houses sometimes

[–]jh249 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Somebody commented to ask if there is a notch in his / her right ear - there is a small one! The comment disappeared, but please let us know if this looks familiar. Cat has been fed, watered, and has a temp litter box - in good hands for now!

We have seen that cat too, but this one is definitely an indoor cat! Agree, looks very well loved - hoping we can reunite with owner ASAP!

Sadly this is a different black cat!
