Carly grew up in Auburn, California, with a deep love of the Sierra Nevada foothills and the wildflowers that define them. Elliot grew up in Victoria, British Columbia, spending his childhood and early years as a competitive sailor and rower on the water. The two met as undergraduates at UC Berkeley, in a French language class, and what began there eventually brought them across the Bay to Marin County, where they now make their home together in San Rafael.
The venues for their wedding day were chosen with intention. Old St. Hilary's — with its hillside wildflower preserve overlooking the bay — reflects Carly's enduring connection to California's native landscape. The Corinthian Yacht Club — one of the oldest and most storied sailing institutions on San Francisco Bay — speaks to Elliot's lifelong relationship with the water. Together, they make for a day that feels entirely like them.
We are deeply grateful that so many of you have traveled from across California, the Pacific Northwest, and beyond to share it with us.
