Trent initially considered a lot of different potential locations, from wineries to the San Francisco coastline, but ultimately decided on a Half Moon Bay sunset proposal at the Ritz-Carlton. To keep it a surprise while making sure she was dressed up nicely for the occasion, he really went the extra mile by designing a two-page invitation to a company event at the Ritz-Carlton.

From the start, it was clear that they were a down-to-earth, genuinely sweet couple who weren’t looking to be the center of attention, but just wanted to cherish every moment spent with family and friends. This year, they had the chance to celebrate their love with an even larger gathering, where they beautifully intertwined their Indian and Asian heritage into a perfect wedding day at the SF Botanical Garden and Conservatory of Flowers at Golden Gate Park.
