San Francisco City Hall Wedding: Kana + Scott

So many great things about this couple….where do I start?

How about they fed me, not once, but twice! Yep, Kana is an incredible cook, and true to Japanese hospitality, she made an incredible spread of traditional Japanese food. YUM! (I’m not afraid to admit, I asked for a doggy bag to take some cookies home!)

In addition to keeping me well fed, Scott and Kana are some of the nicest folks I’ve met. It was so much fun to just sit and chat with them, and hear all about how they met, their interests, and their plans for the future. One thing I learned about them is that they both share a love for swing dancing. Cool, right? And the best part? They’ve been practicing in their garage, open to the street for their neighbors and passersby to see. I love it! I mean, where else can you walk down the street and see a cute couple just having a blast swing dancing in their garage? I ❤ San Francisco!

The best part of meeting Kana & Scott, however, was to be able to be witness to how they feel about each other. I love when a couples’ feelings are subtle, yet palpable. With Kana, what I loved most was the way she smiles at Scott. And with Scott, it was how he looks at Kana…with such deepness, tenderness and affection. Man, what expressive eyes he has…it nearly knocked me over. To be able to see such affection between two people always makes me feel so incredibly blessed and honored. And, it reminds me why I love doing what I do for a living.

So, without further adieu, let’s get to the good stuff. Be sure to grab a tissue, it’s sure to make you cry!

Kana on Scott:
It is difficult not to love Scott because he is such a sweetheart. I have never seen anyone who has a big, beautiful heart like him. He is someone who can truly be happy, cry and pray for other people. He makes me laugh, whether he tries or not. I love every moment we spend together. I love how he is so simple like a child. I love how he takes care of me. I love his cooking. I love dancing with him. I love the look in his eyes when he says “Aishiteru” (“I love you” in Japanese).  I love everything about him, and I can’t believe how lucky I am to have him next to me for whole my life!

Scott on Kana:
There are so many things that I love about Kana that I don’t think that a paragraph can come close to capturing them. Kana is caring, honest, warm-hearted, and a bit mischievous. She makes gestures, such as bringing home flowers or cooking her favorite meal, which make me feel so appreciated. She clearly expresses her joy in her wonderful smile and laughter. It isn’t hard to find something that brings this happiness out in her. I love that she hops and pats her arms against her side like a penguin when she is excited. I am thrilled that I get to spend the rest of my life with her enjoying the little things that each day brings.

Special thanks goes to my assistant Ryan, who helped out on this wedding.
