Kelley + Carter: Wedding Reception at Tank 18 in San Francisco, Pt. 2

Bowerbird Photography November 1, 2013

After their sunny, outdoor ceremony at the Swedenborgian Church, Kelley + Carter took a trolley to their wedding reception at Tank 18 in SOMA. The evening was a gourmand's dream, with a custom Ritual coffee station, food trucks out back and late-night pizza delivery from Delfina's. There were vintage video games to play and a blackboard wall, where family and friend's wrote love notes to the newlyweds in chalk.

The toasts were extremely touching and ended with Carter surprising Kelley with a sweet music slideshow, featuring adorable photos of his lovely bride with the song "Big Jet Plane" playing in the background. There was not a dry eye in sight!

Enjoy this peek into K+C wedding reception evening!

Kelley + Carter: Swedenborgian Church Wedding in San Francisco, Pt. 1

Bowerbird Photography October 30, 2013

Kelley + Carter had their wedding ceremony in Pacific Heights, then took a cable car ride to their reception at a hip wine bar in SOMA -- how San Francisco cool can you get?! The whole day was an ode to all that is perfect about the Bay.

Coming together for the first time in the art deco library for their "first look," Kelley + Carter got to share a few kisses and good luck squeezes before their guests arrived.

Their intimate wedding ceremony took place in the lush garden outside the Swedenborgian Church, and was followed by a joyful champagne toast. Everyone was beaming, completely thrilled to have witnessed the beautiful ceremony of Kelley + Carter.

We are so happy for Kelley + Carter and wish them a marriage steeped in bliss, delight and so much love!!

Enjoy these photos from their wedding ceremony and stay tuned for photos from their fabulous wedding reception later this week :)

Our First Date: October 28, 2004

Bowerbird Photography October 28, 2013

Nine years ago we went on our very first date -- an epic night that included a long drive north from Seattle on I-5 to a random karaoke bar in Marysville, throwing pots in the ceramics studio on the UW campus, with the radio blasting, and jumping into the freezing water of Lake Washington around 2am. Sam of course brought a camera with him and we have this one shot (taken on a roll of film) from that fabulous night!
