{Erica + Nick} St. Francis Yacht Club Wedding | San Francisco Wedding Photographer

So I kinda did things backward with this wedding. I posted a sneak on my blog and their preview on Facebook and their SmugMug galleries since we were traveling. But I really want to share some of these images here on the blog too since they are some of my fave. I mentioned in this post how I connected with this couple. I still can't get over what a fun wedding it was.

I've been following Erica & Nick's extreme Honeymoon adventure in New Zealand on Facebook since their wedding. One of Nick's first post from NZ was that he & Erica did a sky jump TWICE from a 700ft tower. That's my kind of fun & adventure! Congrats you two! Here's a peek into their wedding day...

Gorgeous sisters with incredibly BLUE eyes....

This is Erica with her family home as a back drop...

Amanda captured these next two images which are pretty much awesome in my book!

This vintage taxi is THE taxi from the television series Taxi & Friends.

Erica & Nick wed at the St. Francis Yacht Club.

It's pretty much Erica's home away from home, having grown up on their family sail boat.

Their wedding revolved around a nautical theme, starting with their house flag.

This is our 'house flag', a tradition in the nautical world to have a flag to fly from your family's vessel. Though we don't own a boat, we hope to one day and are just getting a head start on the flag front!

The symbols on the flag all represent something about us and our relationship. The white character to the left is a K inside the letter D to represent Kaplan and Deuyour. The sun is Gold, for the Colorado Buffalos, and to symbolize us both being Leo's as our astrological sign. The plane is Crimson, for the Washington State Cougars, and represents us meeting abroad, our long distance relationship and engagement at the airport.

Erica and Nick opted for a "first look" after having witnessed Melly & Chas' Wedding. Erica was must struck by the fact that they were instantly at ease after the first look. We had a ton of time just to capture the two of them, which was awesome!

The wedding party...

For reasons I'm still not sure of, no music came on for Erica's stroll down the aisle. So, in impromptu style Erica and her dad started humming the wedding march "dum dum dum da..." It made for a memorable moment.
