The story
The photographic story began where it mattered: inside Grace Cathedral for the ceremony, followed by a Ghiberti Door recessional, cocktails, dinner, cake, and a live band.
Grace Cathedral
Starting at the ceremony made the coverage more focused.
Not every wedding needs photographs of clothing on a hanger or separate preparation rooms. Beginning at Grace Cathedral put the time into guest arrivals, relationships, the ceremony, and the full reception.
The building was monumental, but the story stayed human because the photographs began with people arriving and ended with the cathedral full of music.
Nob Hill, San Francisco
One building held several visual worlds.
The Nave, Quire, Ghiberti Doors, transept, apse, and lounge changed the scale and light without changing venues. The architecture created transitions the guests could actually experience.
Why this story matters
A cathedral wedding still needs a social point of view.
Wide architectural frames establish place, but reactions, movement through the aisles, the first dance, cake, and the live band are what keep the photographs from becoming a study of the building alone.
