Izzie and Nick were so ready to be married, they skipped the stress of planning a big traditional wedding and went straight for what mattered most—each other. On New Year’s Eve, they tied the knot in an intimate San Francisco City Hall elopement, sealing their love just before moving to their new life in Washington State.
They started the day getting ready at The Purple Orchid in Livermore, one of my favorite tucked-away Northern California gems. With the vineyards and olive groves as their backdrop, Izzie slipped into her dress and Nick suited up—then they made the drive to San Francisco for their City Hall ceremony. It was such a perfect blend of rustic romance and city elegance.
These are the kinds of days I live for. No fuss, no pressure—just two people fully present with each other, celebrating in a way that felt simple, stylish, and deeply them. Elopements like this are all about connection, and capturing Izzie and Nick’s chemistry, laughter, and quiet joy was a reminder of why I do what I do.
