Trisha & Danny // A Sacramento Wedding

This story is about a table. I’m not entirely sure where The Table came from, or how often he was used. If I had to venture a guess The Table lived most of his life in a garage, folded together neatly and stored out of the way. He would come out every now and then, someone rushing in to whisk him away and hastily throwing some cloth over him. He wasn’t pretty, very utilitarian, and though his life wasn’t active the few times he came out there was a guaranteed party. 

It was mid May, not exactly hot but maybe a bit warmer than comfortable. It was here that The Table found himself being set up neatly in a little park. The park itself was large, a few sports fields, a playground and some picnic tables nestled just off a lazy street in west Sacramento. People bustled about him. A vase, water bottle, some knickknacks and a computer were shuffled around. He enjoyed holding things, feeling useful. Everyone seemed so joyful, excitement filled the air. 

Trisha and Danny hadn’t planned on having their wedding this Saturday in May. A pandemic was in full swing, but in a stroke of luck their family was passing through Sacramento on the same day. In the span of a couple days they planned an impromptu celebration. It featured masks, a rather lengthy Zoom call, and a good bit of distance between families. But I’ll let the photos tell the rest. 

Daniel & Kaitlyn // A San Francisco Wedding ft. The General's Residence at Fort Mason

Here’s a snapshot (or two or three) from a day in San Francisco. Daniel and Kaitlyn had their wedding at the General’s Residence in Fort Mason which, for being in the center of the city, was surprisingly quiet. The ceremony overlooked the bay, featuring a view of Alcatraz and Ghirardelli Square. Earlier in the morning there had been a low hanging haze, but a light breeze had come through and now the sun was beating down on us. The light was harsh but the heat wasn’t, it was a perfect October day. In the park down below people were wandering, taking their time without knowing what was happening up above them. It felt like one of those intimate times, lazy and slow, the kind that makes you want to lay in the grass, relax, and just live for the now.

I loved it.

I captured it.

I hope you enjoy it.
