Editor in chief Robin Wilkey told me, &#8220;The new stock is thicker with a bit more tooth. The goal is to make the colors pop and the book thicker.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>For me, the highlights of this issue include the local fashion shoot &#8220;Making Waves&#8221; shot in the San Francisco Maritime National Historical Park and featuring wedding gowns by local designers <a href=\"http:\/\/www.jinza.net\/\" target=\"_blank\">Jinza Couture Bridal<\/a> and the quickly rising star <a href=\"http:\/\/www.amykuschel.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Amy Kuschel<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-286 alignleft\" title=\"San Francisco magazine fashion shoot\" src=\"http:\/\/idopr.com\/wedding\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/06\/SF2-243x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"243\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"http:\/\/idopr.com\/wedding\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/06\/SF2-243x300.jpg 243w, http:\/\/idopr.com\/wedding\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/06\/SF2.jpg 432w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 243px) 100vw, 243px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>My one regret is that all the jewelry in the shoot is provided by advertisers, many\u00c2\u00a0of them national brands,\u00c2\u00a0instead of local designers. As a former full-time newspaper reporter, I understand that the money for magazines has to come from somewhere and that jewelers are often it, but I also think we in San Francisco have a reputation for local talent to uphold.<\/p>\n<p>When I was talking to national jewelry editors at a trade show in Las Vegas last month, they said San Francisco is not exactly known for its jewelry designers. But I assure you, we have plenty of amazing local talent.<\/p>\n<p>I have nothing against\u00c2\u00a0giants like Tiffany &amp; Co, but just as\u00c2\u00a0brides are starting to\u00c2\u00a0embrace local gown designers, I think many of them\u00c2\u00a0would love to know more about their local jewelry artists.<\/p>\n<p>But I digress&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>One of the reasons I was very excited to finally see this issue was because of its real weddings.
