Adria and Wayne got hitched at the St. Francis Yacht Club in San Francisco. Blue skies and blue waters provided the scenic backdrop. You really can’t get a better up-close view of the Bay. You’re practically at sea level and there’s the Golden Gate Bridge to your left, Bay Bridge to your right, and Angel Island and Alcatraz in front of you! Some favorite moments from the afternoon… […]
