Carol + Brian An Intimate W.A. Frost Wedding

It was an email correspondence that started between two colleagues that would change the trajectory of their lives. Every time Carol's name appeared in the subject box, Brian found himself smiling with excitement. They flirted, they joked, and their conversation had a level of comfort and ease that Brian hadn't been expecting. When Carol told him that she was leaving her position with the company, Brian knew he wanted to take their casual flirtation out of his inbox and into real life.  

Over time, Carol would turn Brian onto her favorite glass of wine …and he introduced her to the merits of Taco Tuesdays. Their 'office romance' had settled in and got cozy and that's when Brian knew his 'QTPI' was the one.

It was only befitting to return to the historic landmark restaurant that the pair shared their first date together for their wedding. A cozy place to celebrate, the couple invited their closet friends and family to W.A. Frost and Company to bless their love and witness the magnetic force that brought them together.  The couple lucked out on a truly gorgeous day with the rain clearing up right before we started shooting.  

BTS of yours truly in action...

Original arched bay windows and beautifully detailed brickwork added charm and ambiance to Carol and Brian's photos that are reflective of the Cathedral Hill neighborhood. 

Oriental rugs, original tin ceilings, and ornate oil paintings provided the perfect setting for Carol and Brian to Say "I Do". 

The historic W.A. Frost and Company boasts of gorgeous indoor architecture…which was only made prettier by the beautiful wedding decor…

The couple snuck away for a few minutes alone…as newly minted husband and wife…

Carol and Brian, I hope you're toasting to your love with a glass of red from your favorite little restaurant right now...and every other romantic spot you visit together as husband and wife. You two are the kindest people, thank you for the honor of documenting your love.
