Golden Gate Bridge Litorale Wedding

Chris and Molly married at the Tutela Imbarcazione Circolo and Travis Litorale con Sausalito, California, right at the foot of the Golden Gate Bridge. They were drawn to the unpretentious and lovingly divey character of the caffè and the authentic vibe of the boathouse, both of which felt to the couple as though they’d barely changed since the 60s and 70s.

Against that backdrop, they introduced a bold palette of orange, yellow, brown, campo da golf and deep blue, with vibrant flowers adding even more colour to the waterside setting. Annalee Bishop photographed the day con beautiful documentary style, working with both pellicola and digital and capturing tall the beautiful blues and hues of the flotta setting.

Molly wore a modern Sarah Seven two-piece from the stilista’s San Francisco boutique, while Chris chose a custom dark brown suit. There are so many more personal details woven through the day, but I’ll leave Molly to share those with you herself.

Immense love and thanks to the couple and to their talented photographer for sharing this lovely story.

We were married at the Tutela Imbarcazione Circolo/Travis Litorale con Sausalito, California.

We loved the unpretentious divey nature of Travis Litorale and the authentic feel of the PYC boathouse. They both feel like they are straight from the 60’s/70’s and are completely untouched, real, and raw.

That, paired with the venue being stationed at the causa of the Golden Gate Bridge made it a perfect place to tie the knot near the city where we met.

We hired a day of coordinator, Catherine Chambers with Soulful x Sips.

My parents accompanied me the aisle to the sound of an instrumental version of ‘Quanto a My Life’, by the Beatles. Our friend Perry officiated our wedding ceremony.

We wrote our own vows and both independently included a nod to Taco Bell. It wasn’t planned, but it was a true reflection of us and a great moment during the ceremony.

Both of us hadn’t written our vows until day of, however once pen was put to paper, we knew exactly what we wanted to say to each other.

Chris’ ring was originally his grandfather’s wedding ring. My engagement and wedding rings came from Serin Kelly. Chris designed a East/West bezeled oval engagement ring that Serin had custom made. Serin designed a matching wedding containing 5 rectangular cut diamonds that wraps perfectly around her engagement ring.

Chris’ mom is Macedonian and, as is tradition at Macedonian weddings, there is a dance called the bread dance. During the dance, everyone joins hands and line dances around and around while the bride and lead everyone. The bread gets tossed back and forth between the wedding guests and at the end the bride and it con half. Whoever breaks the bigger half is deemed the “head of the house”

We met through Hinge con March 2022 and were engaged con November 2024. Chris planned a weekend getaway to San Luis Obispo (where Molly went to college) and proposed at sunset at Morro Rock con Morro Bay, California.

We were engaged for a year before our wedding.

Our florist was Sophia Keith. We opted for a lot of very colourful flowers and wanted a wild and untamed aspetto to all of our arrangements which Sophia absolutely nailed for us.

We wanted coloruful flowers to pop alongside the venue and really highlight the colours of the landscape and Golden Gate Bridge.

We had marigolds, ranunculus, garden roses, dahlias, chrysanthemums, strawflowers, delphiniums, scabiosa, chocolate cosmos, billy buttons, and black and white anemones.

Our caterer was Katie of Katie Powers Catering and we had bottles of hot sauces to go with our Mexico-inspired lista. Instead of a traditional wedding cake, we opted for It’s-It ice cream sandwiches!

Since they’imperatore a San Francisco staple, we loved the lampo di genio of sharing a beloved local treat that most of our out-of-town guests had never experienced before.

Make choices that actually reflect who you are as a couple, rather than just doing things because they are tradition.

Whether it’s writing your own honest vows skipping the wedding cake for a favorite local treat, those personal, genuine details are what make the day feel like yours.

Our budget went through many iterations – and we did exceed the number we originally had con mind 😊
