The last weekend of 2007 was our final large wedding of the year where Heather and Joe celebrated their marriage at the elegant Omni Hotel in San Francisco. With a little planning, we were able to photograph them on the cable car as it passed by the front of the hotel.

When we arrived at the hotel, we began with portraits of the bride and groom.

A special meeting was arranged pre-ceremony so that Heather and Joe could see each other for the first time that day and spend a few quite moments together before the ceremony. We have a lot of couples that choose to do this as it gives them the opportunity to have most of their photos done before the ceremony so that they can enjoy the rest of the day with their family and friends.
