A Joyful LGBTQ+ Celebration at the Golden Gate Club | Melissa & Em

Set in the heart of the Presidio, the Golden Gate Club was the perfect backdrop for Melissa and Em’s September wedding. With its expansive windows overlooking the Bay and lush surroundings, the venue set the stage for a celebration that felt both intimate and effortlessly elegant.

From the start, the day was filled with warmth and meaning. Melissa and Em’s ceremony took place beneath a canopy of eucalyptus trees, where they exchanged vows in front of their closest friends and family. Their words were heartfelt, making for a moment that felt both personal and profound.

During the cocktail hour on the terrace, guests enjoyed great food and conversation as the late afternoon light filtered through the trees. Inside, the reception space was styled with understated floral arrangements and candlelit tables, creating a welcoming and relaxed atmosphere.

One of the standout moments was Melissa and Em’s first dance—a simple yet genuine expression of their connection. As the evening continued, the dance floor remained packed, with an energy that reflected the joy of the day.

Melissa and Em’s wedding was a celebration of love and community, set against one of San Francisco’s most picturesque locations. It was a privilege to capture their day and witness such a meaningful occasion.
