Susan and Jason are simply the sweetest couple. Susan, a dancer with natural grace, and Jason, who learned to dance just for her—their love story is one of those beautiful partnerships where someone is willing to learn a new language just to speak to your heart. Their wedding at Highlands Estate in Cloverdale was everything a vineyard celebration should be: sun-drenched, romantic, and utterly joyful. Bridesmaids in pastel gowns carrying white parasols, a ceremony nestled among the vines, delicate florals in blush and cream, and those golden-hour portraits that made everything feel like a dream. Watching them move together—both literally on the dance floor and figuratively through their wedding day—reminded me why I love capturing love stories like theirs.

Their love story began in the depths of 2020, when a Halloween first date turned into a seven-hour adventure in Golden Gate Park – complete with N95 masks and, unexpectedly, a busted ankle. Their journey beautifully bridges Brandon's Orange County roots with their shared love of the Bay Area, leading to getting married at the Pearl in the Dogpatch district in San Francisco, CA. The tropical-inspired florals, with rich corals and soft peach tones set against marble surfaces, perfectly complemented the industrial-chic venue, creating an elegant fusion of natural beauty and urban sophistication.
