I have decided to start posting “real” weddings on IZZY’s blog. So wedding professionals, please submit your favorite weddings!

Today’s couple is Cristina and Don, a couple that was an absolute joy to work with. The day was filled with plenty of laughter, friends and family. Many of Cristina’s family members came from out of the county to witness the couple’s wedding in San Francisco.

This is the wedding that introduced me to Lo Boheme‘s gorgeous hair accessories and Cake Coquette‘s beautiful cakes!

First, getting ready at San Francisco’s Hotel Monaco-

Cristina's vintage purse and one of the bridesmaid's bouquets

Cristina's mother attempting to put one of her mother's earrings onto the bride. Ouch!

Cristina found her dress at the very first shop she went to! How amazing is that?

Cristina's sister zipping up the back of her dress. The excitement is building!

"I'm ready!"

Check out Cristina’s hair accessory from Lo Boheme. Gorgeous!

They were married at St. Gregory’s church, also in San Francisco.

Don's father traveled from the Midwest to perform the wedding ceremony. How special is that?

We actually stopped traffic for this next image. A bus driver insisted we get the shot before she would pass and stopped all the traffic behind her. Hooray for San Francisco bus drivers!

Yes, the car is supposed to look like a bug (as in the real thing). Don worked extra hard to get his "art" car ready before the wedding. It even had LED lights!

Coming up next, the reception at Hotel Monaco and more portraits of the couple!
