Athena and Johnnemann were married this past weekend at the historic Cliff House. While the day started out as a typical foggy and windy summer day in San Francisco, the fog cleared and wind dropped down to a breeze just in time for the outdoor wedding. Hence the quote “The coldest winter I ever spent was summer in San Francisco” which was supposedly said by Mark Twain.

Since it was an Ocean themed wedding , the wedding cake was of course a sand castle.

Mugging for the camera.

Yesterday I visited the Cliff House and surrounding areas scouting out locations for the wedding I’m photographing there this Saturday. Beautiful views every way you look.

Just across the street is Sutro Heights Park where this photo was taken.

The unusual summer weather made for a beautiful sunset.
