Intimate Backyard Wedding in San Francisco During the Covid-19 Pandemic

San Francisco bride and groom hugging during sunset. Photo taken by Jess from Cheers Babe Photo.

When I first met Barbara & Justin back in August of 2019, we had no idea that the Covid-19 pandemic would arrive and completely change their wedding plans. Initially planning a big celebration in the iconic Presidio area of San Francisco, come April, these two busy doctors knew their big day would have to look a little different.


That said, I love that Barb & Justin still chose to get married on their original date! Instead of their large wedding celebration, they opted for an intimate backyard ceremony & celebration with their parents and closest friends. 

After finding the perfect courtyard-style backyard in the city, lush with blooming jasmine flowers (it smelled amazing!!), they quickly locked down the rest of the details including hair & makeup by Beauty by Lia and flowers from Amanda Vidmar
