Jamie and Andrew had been together for over a decade and always wanted to marry in a simple, intimate ceremony. They planned to elope at the iconic San Francisco City Hall, with just their young daughter and a few close friends in attendance. In true elopement style, not even their parents knew they were getting married until they received a call from the couple to say, “Surprise!”

Jamie, Andrew, and their friends celebrated with a beautiful brunch at Le Marais Bakery in the Castro district, where chocolate croissants and champagne awaited their arrival. It was such a timeless, romantic morning that felt like something out of a classic French film set in Paris, even though we never left San Francisco.
