			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>And laughter and tears, pretty much all at the same time, and it certainly made for a great day. Joy and beauty enveloped Sarah and Bryan for their wedding at <a href="http://www.yelp.com/biz/sigmund-stern-grove-san-francisco#hrid:Rhkc4o1fayV_lTRvr_mCgg/src:search/query:stern%20grove%20wedding" target="_blank">Stern Grove</a> in <a href="http://www.onlyinsanfrancisco.com/" target="_blank">San Francisco</a>, California. Jo and I are captivated by <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sigmund_Stern_Recreation_Grove" target="_blank">Stern Grove</a> on it&#8217;s own- it is a place of nature (the redwoods are stunning) and music (each year hosting the <a href="http://www.sterngrove.org/FAQ15-rental.html" target="_blank">Stern Grove Festival</a>). Now I add &quot;love&quot; to the list, as Stern Grove was the back drop to this amazing wedding.</p>
<p><img src="http://allegrophotography.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/sarah_bryan-sf-wedding-590x393.jpg" alt="sarah_bryan-sf-wedding" title="sarah_bryan-sf-wedding" width="590" height="393" class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-1294" /></p>
<p>I started the day with Sarah and her girls at the Clubhouse. </p>
<p><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/allegrophotography/4157238665/" title="sarah_bryan_san_francisco_wedding-3 by Allegro Photography, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2541/4157238665_f8d8bb0362_o.jpg" width="590" height="410" alt="sarah_bryan_san_francisco_wedding- bride getting ready at the trocadero sigmund stern grove clubhouse" /></a></p>
<p><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/allegrophotography/4157999300/" title="sarah_bryan_san_francisco_wedding-2 by Allegro Photography, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2763/4157999300_f1198c6afc_o.jpg" width="410" height="590" alt="sarah_bryan_san_francisco_wedding- brides wedding dresses in window at stern grove trocadero clubhouse" /></a></p>
<p>Sarah walked down the aisle with her mom and dad on each arm, and tears of joy in her eyes.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/allegrophotography/4157238765/" title="sarah_bryan_san_francisco_wedding-4 by Allegro Photography, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2733/4157238765_4b18861b25_o.jpg" width="410" height="590" alt="sarah_bryan_san_francisco_wedding- bride cries as walks down aisle with parents for sigmund stern grove wedding in SF california" /></a></p>
<p>This image says it all. Sarah&#8217;s dad gave Bryan a warm welcome into the family, before the ceremony even got underway. </p>
<p><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/allegrophotography/4157238823/" title="sarah_bryan_san_francisco_wedding-5 by Allegro Photography, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2765/4157238823_faebeb304b_o.jpg" width="410" height="590" alt="sarah_bryan_san_francisco_wedding- bride's tears and groom hugs her father at stern grove wedding beneath the redwoods in san fran california" /></a></p>
<p>Check out their ceremony site. So beautiful among the trees.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/allegrophotography/4157238893/" title="sarah_bryan_san_francisco_wedding-6 by Allegro Photography, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2574/4157238893_8b8ae16412_o.jpg" width="590" height="410" alt="sarah_bryan_san_francisco_wedding- jewish ceremony at stern grove in san fran cali" /></a></p>
<p>Watching.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/allegrophotography/4157999604/" title="sarah_bryan_san_francisco_wedding-7 by Allegro Photography, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2749/4157999604_efa14aec2a_o.jpg" width="590" height="410" alt="sarah_bryan_san_francisco_wedding- flower girl watches ceremony in stern grove amidst the redwoods" /></a></p>
<p>Under the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chuppah" target="_blank"><em>chuppah</em></a>, sealed with a kiss.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/allegrophotography/4157239029/" title="sarah_bryan_san_francisco_wedding-8 by Allegro Photography, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2732/4157239029_325f6a2407_o.jpg" width="410" height="590" alt="sarah_bryan_san_francisco_wedding- bride and groom kiss under the huppah- chuppah- during their stern grove wedding" /></a></p>
<p>Then they took a few moments for their portraits and to enjoy their newlywed status.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/allegrophotography/4157999870/" title="sarah_bryan_san_francisco_wedding-9 by Allegro Photography, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2688/4157999870_a96068ba82_o.jpg" width="410" height="590" alt="sarah_bryan_san_francisco_wedding- bride and groom snuggle during portraits with redwoods as back drop for stern grove wedding in sf ca" /></a></p>

<p>Let the party begin. Friends and family got things started with some music.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/allegrophotography/4157239465/" title="sarah_bryan_san_francisco_wedding-13 by Allegro Photography, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2768/4157239465_34d12ae0c8_o.jpg" width="590" height="410" alt="sarah_bryan_san_francisco_wedding- reception gets going with band and first dance in the trocadero clubhouse at stern grove" /></a></p>
<p>Sarah and Bryan kicked off the dancing with their first dance.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/allegrophotography/4158000232/" title="sarah_bryan_san_francisco_wedding-15 by Allegro Photography, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2721/4158000232_31608a3036_o.jpg" width="410" height="590" alt="sarah_bryan_san_francisco_wedding- first dance of bride and groom in sf ca" /></a></p>
<p>Did I mentioned laughter? Because there was tons of it. I am still laughing over the toast by Sarah&#8217;s cousin in which she explained the origins of the Jewish tradition of <a href="http://www.do-it-yourself-weddings.com/breaking-glass-jewish-wedding.html" target="_blank">breaking the glass</a>. Her explanation was one I had not heard before, and it had everyone reeling from laughter.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/allegrophotography/4158000176/" title="sarah_bryan_san_francisco_wedding-14 by Allegro Photography, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2664/4158000176_474dfba111_o.jpg" width="590" height="410" alt="sarah_bryan_san_francisco_wedding- bride and groom laughing it up during the toasts at stern grove in sf ca" /></a></p>
<p>More dancing followed dinner. </p>
<p><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/allegrophotography/4157239677/" title="sarah_bryan_san_francisco_wedding-17 by Allegro Photography, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4003/4157239677_f42a183463_o.jpg" width="590" height="410" alt="sarah_bryan_san_francisco_wedding- guests party at reception in stern grove- northern california" /></a></p>
<p><a href="http://allegrophotography.com/clients/2008/shosh_jon/index.htm" target="_blank">Shosh and Jon</a>, who introduced us to Sarah and Bryan, took a spin on the dancefloor.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/allegrophotography/4158000292/" title="sarah_bryan_san_francisco_wedding-16 by Allegro Photography, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2537/4158000292_52cf077749_o.jpg" width="410" height="590" alt="sarah_bryan_san_francisco_wedding- newlyweds dance during their friends reception at stern grove- sf california" /></a></p>
<p>The guests definitely enjoyed themselves.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/allegrophotography/4158000402/" title="sarah_bryan_san_francisco_wedding-18 by Allegro Photography, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2670/4158000402_2a1cbacba6_o.jpg" width="590" height="410" alt="sarah_bryan_san_francisco_wedding- guests boogie down at the stern grove clubhous- sf bay area" /></a></p>
<p>And for that matter so did Sarah.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/allegrophotography/4157239801/" title="sarah_bryan_san_francisco_wedding-19 by Allegro Photography, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2633/4157239801_5f60ddc4d9_o.jpg" width="590" height="410" alt="sarah_bryan_san_francisco_wedding- bride parties at her wedding at the stern grove clubhouse in the sf bay area" /></a></p>
<p>Thank you so much, Sarah and Bryan, for inviting me to be a part of your wedding day. I had such a great time working with you and am thrilled to share the rest of your photos with you. But first, a little PicFlick&#8230;.</p>
