If there’s one thing the internet loves, it’s a dating app success story—and Hannah and Philip’s love story is one for the modern romance hall of fame. The two met on Hinge in the thick of 2020, and what started as a “big walk around the neighborhood” turned into an all-day date, a mutual crush, and eventually, proof that even in uncertain times, the right connection finds its way through. Fast forward to their wedding day at San Francisco’s historic Flood Mansion captured by Laura and Stella Kudritzki, where – with the help of Hand and Heart Weddings – Hannah and Philip flipped tradition on its head with a celebration they lovingly describe as “a rager at Grandma’s house.”
Experience-driven design
What made the day truly unforgettable was the experience-driven design. From a welcome baseball game at Oracle Park to a rehearsal dinner at their favorite neighborhood haunt, the couple curated a wedding weekend that gave guests—many traveling from across the country—a true taste of San Francisco magic.
Dress code: creative cocktail
Fashion played a starring role. Guests were encouraged to embrace creative cocktail attire, leaning into color and individuality—a trend we’re seeing everywhere right now.
Custom suiting & the Clairette
Philip stunned in a custom burnt sienna double-breasted linen suit, while Hannah wore Lela Rose’s ethereal Clairette gown before slipping into a chic Reformation second look for dancing and late-night adventures. Beauty was soft yet editorial, letting personality shine through every look.
The ceremony: bold | playful | colorful
Instead of leaning into the mansion’s regal, old-world elegance, they infused the space with bold color, playful patterns, and eclectic textures that felt deeply personal and joyfully unexpected.
Whimsical detail: colorful ribbons
Guests waved colorful ribbons as the couple exited down the aisle of the ceremony.
