Jilian & Tony's wedding day is a day I'll never forget. Not only were we above the clouds for their reception, but their SF City Hall ceremony and ride in a red classic car were seriously the cherry on top. Their wedding proves that you can have it all- a city hall ceremony AND a showstopping reception.

Over the past seven years as a wedding planner, I’ve had the privilege of designing celebrations at some truly remarkable venues across both Northern and Southern California. Yet, like many in my field, there are still a few exceptional locations that remain on my personal wish list- places I dream of bringing a couple’s vision to life one day.

There’s a quiet kind of magic in the details—the kind you don’t just see, but feel. This styled shoot at Hotel Winters explores that beauty through soft textures, layered design, and a balance of modern elegance and timeless romance. From sculptural desserts to dreamy drapery and a real-life love story, every element was intentionally chosen. Step inside to discover how these thoughtful details came together to create something truly unforgettable.
