Courtney and Wally are two of the sweetest souls you will come across. They have been together since high school and remained together throughout college when Wally followed Courtney to Seattle to the University of Washington.

Chloe & Teddy live in New York City, but decided to get married in Chloe’s Bay Area hometown and hosted a gorgeous December wedding at the Piedmont Community Hall.  They had a wedding driven by community and customized the day according to what was important to them, not by traditions that didn’t fit.  They had the most beautiful minimal, clean and fresh wedding I’ve seen in a while.

Hannah & Ben had a wedding filled with so much love, it was bursting through every piece of their day.  They both live in LA, but made their way out to Bolinas, CA for a small vacation, visited this property, and instantly felt a connection and knew they had found their wedding venue.  They shortened their planned engagement timeline in order to be the last and final wedding the property hosted, before it was sold.  Gabriel Harber captured the emotion of the day beautifully. 

Finding a venue can be one of the more difficult tasks when it comes to planning your wedding.  It’s usually the first really big item that you need to tackle and can be a challenge to find something within budget that still suits you and your partner and fits all of your guests.  For those of you that might be lost in the sauce trying to figure out where to get married, here is a quick guide of some of my favorite venues that might fit your aesthetic.
