An Intimate San Francisco City Hall Ceremony

Remember Cassy and Phil's engagement session at the Ferry Building? The eagerly awaited day has finally arrived—the day when Cassy and Phil join hands in matrimony! Time truly flies when love is in the air, and their wedding day was no exception. From their emotional first look to teary-eyed guests, the entire celebration was a testament to the love and happiness shared by this extraordinary couple.

A First Look Worth All The Feels

The wedding day commenced with a deeply touching first look, evoking emotions that were nothing short of magical. Their private ceremony took place on the 4th Floor of San Francisco City Hall, surrounded by their loved ones who traveled from all over. They exchanged sweet personal vows with one another in such a beautiful manner that they gave me all the feels!

Following the ceremony, congratulations were given to Cassy and Phil from their guests. After finishing up their newlywed wedding portraits at San Francisco City Hall, we took a brief break at the charming Kissel Hotel before proceeding with capturing more precious moments of just them two.

A Vibrant Reception at Oakland Eatery

The festivities continued as we made our way to the vibrant Pla Daek Thai Esan Food for their reception. While Pla Daek has since closed, it was such a fun and vibrant space to celebrate with their loved ones. The attention to detail was awe-inspiring, with immaculate blue floral decorations adorning the centerpieces and a magnificent flower arch. Every element contributed to the fabulous ambiance. Not only were the decorations beautiful, but the food delighted guests' taste buds.

Heartfelt Speeches and Dancing The Night  Away

The evening was filled with laughter and heartfelt speeches. The dance floor was opened and then guests started to unleashed their inner dancer! Cassy and Phil’s wedding celebration embodied the spirit of community, making it a truly unforgettable experience for them and all of their guests.


As the night drew to a close, a resounding cheer was raised to Cassy and Phil—a couple whose love radiates warmth and happiness. Their wedding day was a testament to their incredible journey and the love they share with their cherished community. To Cassy and Phil, it was an honor to be a part of your special day.

Here's to many more years filled with good vibes, delicious food and creating more memories 💖
