Oviatt Penthouse Wedding | Kori + Chris

the love story

We met in San Francisco through mutual friends. Chris’ roommate and ex-coworker worked at the same company that Kori started to work for when she moved to San Francisco. Both are actually in our wedding party! We met two weeks after Kori moved to San Francisco at Chris’ birthday party but did not start dating until a few months later.

romantic proposal

Chris planned a fake business trip to Paso Robles. He booked a cute bed and breakfast and had the hosts in on the ruse. We did some wine tasting. Visited an old high school friend of Kori’s. Then went to dinner where Chris had already made reservations and plans to propose. When the dessert menu came out it was a special menu with two options: the “Say Yes” and the “Say No.” Kori chose the “Say Yes.” The next day was Father’s Day, so to add to the surprise Chris had invited Kori’s father and step mother to come to Paso Robles for the day.

What a Romeo.

We were floored at how beautiful Kori was when we saw her on the wedding day.

The gorgeous details of Kori

 

LOVE looking at a wedding through the eyes of the adorable kiddos <3

Kori’s such a sweetheart – she had surprise gifts for all her bridesmaids.

One of our favorite candids of the wedding day. Such a beautiful family.

Love Kori’s smile.

Look at that beautiful flower girl!  She was so adorably amazed at watching the bridal transformation.

Kori, that gown!!!  You are such a gorgeous bride.

Gah, my favorite photo of you two!  Kori, you are so adorable!

There is no wedding reception quite like a downtown rooftop party.  As always, Modern LA Weddings did a phenomenal job capturing the design and the details for Kori and Chris’ unforgettable wedding reception.

What a view!

Surprise silhouettes for all the guests to enjoy

What a first dance.

Kori surprised Chris with a vibrant and lively Hawaiian dance performance.

One of our favorite people to photograph at the wedding is the Father of the Bride

So many precious emotions to capture in the dad’s eyes.

The couple surprised the guests with a Whiskey & Cigar Lounge to add to the celebration.

congratulations
