Petra and Marissa actually met all the way back in 2011! But at the time, there was just one little problem: neither of them had come out. 

“We met in college choir!” they wrote to me. “ We became closer friends when we worked Front of House at our college’s jazz festival and got to know each other further as we road tripped together to various summer camps for music!”

Will and Katie have some of the coolest jobs of anyone I’ve worked for. Katie is a producer for Magic Mike Live in Las Vegas, and Will is a professional poker player. Talk about a POWER COUPLE! And while they put together a wedding that was classy, elegant, and traditional in many ways, they also found ways to adapt common traditions to better fit the unique story they have to tell.

For a wedding that felt like it was designed by woodland creatures, an outdoor venue in the Bay Area was the perfect choice! Saratoga Springs is in the Santa Cruz mountains, both in the heart of the California Redwoods and a short trip away from Silicon Valley.
