Gallery 308 Wedding
Camille and Dane’s wedding day started at Gallery 308 with a lei exchange—an easygoing, thoughtful way to begin. From there, we headed up to the park above Fort Mason for portraits. The hill was unexpectedly covered in wildflowers, a welcome surprise that made the setting even more picturesque. The sun was shining, the Bay looked incredible, and Fort Mason’s terracotta roof tiles really popped. We captured some great moments among the cypress trees, featuring a mix of couples and elders, before heading back down to the venue.
Camille had designed a portrait for the welcome signage, setting the tone for a day that was both personal and stylish. Inside, bright sunlight streamed through the huge windows, illuminating banquet tables adorned with bud vases of brightly colored tulips and ranunculus, and filling the room with warmth. There were silly kids running around, a relaxed vibe, and a lively atmosphere.
A friend officiated the ceremony, the processional had its own quirky energy, and the whole evening felt effortless in the best way. One highlight was the Slivovitz toast—a Serbian tradition featuring a strong plum brandy that plays a central role in major life events. A nod to heritage and a solid way to keep the party going. Also keeping the party going was the delicious dinner catered by Ken Tsang – an Asian fusion spread that fueled everyone.
One of my favorite moments was running out to the end of the dock for sunset portraits. It was windy, the sunset stunning, and Camille’s white loafers (paired with white slacks and a tank top) were a fashion move I fully support. The sea lions outside near Pier 39 barked with their messages of congratulations.
I captured the day on a mix of digital and film, including Kodak Gold 200 and HP4, which really suited the easygoing yet vibrant feel of the day. It was laid-back, full of love, and a beautiful celebration of a very special love.
