San Francisco Zoo Wedding: Samantha + Jake

Samantha and Jake had a wonderful and very unique San Francisco zoo wedding. They met while working at the Hotel Omni in downtown San Francisco. We photographed their getting ready at that hotel where they had so many memories.

Samantha and Jake are such lovely people and real animal lovers. That’s why they chose to have their wedding at the zoo. The wedding ceremony was held on the African Savannah area of the zoo. Guests were treated to a carousel ride during the cocktail hour. Friends and family also had an amazing opportunity to feed and interact with giraffes.

The reception area was lit in gorgeous pink light. A magnificent tree shadow was projected onto one wall. This made you feel as if you were in magical world away from the city. After warm toasts from family and friends, guests danced the night away. It was wonderful to work with wedding coordinator, Erica Becks of Erica Events. Congrats to Samantha and Jake!
