It was a gorgeous Autumn day. In fact, you could say that November 14th was one of the most gorgeous days of the year. The sun shined brightly over the Golden Gate Bridge & the warmth of the sun streamed through the windows of Cavallo Point. Stu waited inside the chapel as guests excitedly arrived & were seated. The doors opened & suddenly there was Stu’s bride-more radiant & more beautiful than he could have imagined. And as Sarah walked down the aisle arm in arm with her father, tears streamed down Stu’s face. In front of their closest family & friends they made sweet promises…to let their love show in everything they do: with every action, glance & word. They were pronounced husband & wife…and the rest of the evening was spent celebrating everything-life, love & this new adventure for Sarah & Stu. As the warm sun sunk behind the Golden Gate, friends & family toasted, watched Stu’s Power Point Presentation (one of my favorite parts of the day-it was hilarious!), decadently dined & danced late into the night. It was my last wedding of the year & I was so, soooooooo grateful to end my 2010 weddings with such a timeless, beautiful & fun wedding!
It was my first time shooting a wedding at Cavallo Point & it was such an amazing venue. It looks right out to the Golden Gate Bridge & San Francisco & everywhere you look there are amazing backdrops for photographs. I met Stu there a few days before the wedding & I was so excited to shoot their wedding that I literally screamed with joy when Stu showed me where they wanted their photographs taken. There is something so romantic, so beautiful about San Francisco & I never, ever get over how gorgeous it is! Everything about this wedding was wonderful & picture perfect. And to top it off- Sarah & Stu are incredibly fabulous people who are a blast to spend time with. They spent their honeymoon in Egypt & knowing them, I’m sure they had a wonderfully amazing time!
Sarah & Stu-you are fabulously amazing people who I am so lucky to know. Your wedding was a true reflection of who you are-fabulous, beautiful & most of all-FUN! I am grateful to the moon & back to have been able to photograph your wedding & I wish you all the happiness that the world holds for the both of you…xoxo, marielle.
I can’t think of a more perfect place to have a wedding…
Are you kidding me with these shoes? They are beyond fabulous!
Holy moly. Sarah looked incredible.
I’m always a sucker for photos of a bride’s sweet father walking her down the aisle…
These kiddos were so adorable!
Sarah & Stu gave me so much time for photos that I was in heaven. I honestly had such a hard time narrowing my favorites down!

Oh My Goodness! What an amazing venue! Love Love Love their silhouette in front of the GG Bridge at sunset (#26, I think). What a gorgeous couple!
Beautiful venue, beautiful couple and beautiful photos. I love all the photos out by the water. Great work Marielle!
I think that these are all so beautiful! I think my favorite is your favorite as well.
holy toledo! Marielle, this is an amazing post! Seriously, I can’t pick one fave bc there are several that really took my breath away. I love the couple shots!
Ah! Marielle, I looooove your pics! This wedding was no exception – there were so many amazing ones, I just can’t pic a favorite. They look so happy and darling. Just love ‘em!

wow these are great! love the one under where you put “Favorite…”
Love those little kids pics too.. priceless… totally wholesome
Love #23….but I’m her Mom. They are all fabulous!
Wow! what a baby face on that guy. Did somebody check his ID to see that he is old enough to get married? Sarah looks amazingly beautiful. What a lucky guy. Hey Sarah, when you want a real man, drop me a line.
I think Kelly and Chadd’s are my favorite!
I love the diversity in the album that is seen in the photographic backgrounds, the black and white vs. colored pictures,young and old folks, emotions of reflection vs exuberance… I could go on and on. Just love it!
They are all beautiful pictures. I am partial to the pictures with the kids as I think they look great and I am their mother
Beautiful wedding.
Sara and Stu are so lucky to have such amazing photos to remember the most beautiful venue and day in San Francisco! By far my favorite wedding photos!
These are all gorgeous photos! I have to go with Sarah and Stu as my favorite of the bunch…especially #30 because I love laughing pictures!
Sarah and Stu’s pictures are gorgeous – they are definitely my favorite! I like the contrast of the shots in front of the old barracks. And the one of Sarah in the blue wrap with the white flowers is beautiful. You’ve done a great job capturing their happiness.
Beautiful shots of Sarah and Stu. It looks like those pictures were taken in the Ft. Cronkite area. As an amature photographer, I can tell this photographer has a lot of talent.
Her hair is awesome
My favorite is the Sarah and Stu Wedding. I especially love the picture by the Golden Gate Bridge, so beautiful.
