Skylines. Rooftops. Cityscapes. Classy weddings with all of the downtown vibes.
Grace Cathedral in San Francisco is Shivani’s favorite place to be in the city. It’s quiet. And massive. Yet intimate. It’s a place set apart to connect with the divine, and it touches her heart every time she walks through the doors. Nick also happened to love the cathedral when they met (one of many

My heart is full dear bloggy-blog. I mean really full. Couples like Ron and Prudence fill it nearly to bursting because of their joyful, down-to-earth, and authentic natures. Their rooftop wedding in downtown LA at the Oviatt Penthouse made me giddy from beginning to end, and sharing their images this week is like a trip to Disneyland
