Patty & Will’s spooktacularly elegant wedding

This couple embraced their wedding date (October 13th) with bad-luck-turned-good details, gothic and spooky elements, and an homage to their black cat. It was small in size and large on gorgeous details and personal touches. They may not have been able to get a vintage hearse to cart them around town, but the red and black ’59 Chevy was an even better solution!

Small and intimate weddings are often killer in that they let you focus on what and who really matters to you. This sweet and small wedding encapsulates that sentiment perfectly. They had a pre-wedding ring warming in their hometown in Texas and an eight-person ceremony and reception in San Francisco (which allowed the groom’s mom to officiate!).
