First wedding posting. woohoo!

Back in October, I shot Leah & Jacob's beautiful wedding at The Log Cabin in The Presidio, SF.
I loved this rural-feeling spot perched on the edge of San Francisco.

Being the hip folks they are, Leah and Jacob's wedding had lots of beautiful DIY details.
My favorite pieces of the day:
*I was absolutely in love with Leah's bouquet and took way too many photos of it.
*No one sat down during the ceremony. Their family and friends got close, gathering around the two of them. It felt very...tribal.
*Leah is really into birds so her details included lots of them, including homemade-bird-illustrated wine labels!
*Leah did the table arrangements herself--she went to the SF Flowermart  to find her florals.
Their food and cake were catered by BiRite which, if you don't know BiRite, is just downright delicious. Brianna over at Church Street Flowers did Leah's bouquet, the boutineers, corsages and flower girl bouquets. Can  you say stunning? Leah's bouquet was one of the most beautiful I've seen. I took way too many photos of it. But I couldn't help myself!



























First blog!

Okay, so maybe this is a tad overdue.
I've been photographing weddings for 5 years now and am just getting around to this?
Shame on me.

Well, here I am. First Comes Love Wedding Photography by Alison Bank is live, once again!
Here's where it went live the first time: www.firstcomesloveweddings.com

I suppose this is also a place to allow me to write, since I used to do that sort of thing long before I was a photographer. My words will likely be about love and amazing weddings and fabulous vendors, but it's writing nonetheless. Oh, and it will also probably be a bit about wedding planning, as I am in the middle of planning my own wedding, which is 4 months from TODAY!

Anyhoo. Keep coming back! I'm going to spend lots of time uploading some of my favorite weddings--older and more recent work.
And please pass my name on freely!
