All the way from the heart of Paris, Alex and Emily worked with Pacific Engagements to plan their wedding celebration where their roots were firmly planted, in the sun-soaked Bay Area of California. Choosing the historic Claremont Hotel in Berkeley as the backdrop for their special day, Alex and Emily embraced the charm and elegance of the picturesque setting. The sprawling estate, with its panoramic views of the Bay Area, provided a stunning setting for their wedding.
With the Bay Area stretched out below them, Alex and Emily shared their intimate first look in the open-air bell tower. The tower, with its timeless beauty and breathtaking vistas, set the stage for a moment of quiet reflection before the festivities began. It was a chance for Alex and Emily to savor the magnitude of their commitment, surrounded by the enchanting backdrop of their beloved home state.
With hearts full of emotion, the couple descended from the tower hand-in-hand, ready to join their family and friends for the ceremony. As the night unfolded into a celebration, the Claremont's grand ballroom became a canvas for the merging of Parisian sophistication and Californian warmth, creating an atmosphere that resonated with the couple's unique story.
