Five minutes into our initial meeting at the wine bar, and it becomes obvious that Alice and Kuang have it all figured out. Book the 4th floor gallery at City Hall to create a private ceremony space for 60+ guests and avoid the Friday rush. Check. Build in time for a location shoot in Chinatown. Check. Finish it off with a swanky reception at Roe. Check. All of this, along with dossiers of the wedding VIP’s, is contained in an extensive planning document (4 megabytes). Now, I suppose I don’t have to mention that these two are wrapped in all kinds of style. You only have to glance at the photos to see it for yourself (don’t miss: the tie! the shoes!!). Kuang – smooth, confident, always the gentleman. Alice – light, radiant, with a smile that lights up the room. It was a pleasure to document their wedding. We were all over City Hall, we turned heads in Chinatown. Did I mention, synchronized Facebook relationship status change? Check. Anyways, just a couple of days after the wedding, this lovely note was already in my mailbox. Alice, Kuang, you guys are amazing. You have an exciting year ahead of you! All the best!

Twinkies!! But, first…a little context. Julie and Josh traveled to San Francisco all the way from school in Pennsylvania, in order to get married at SF City Hall. Josh’s brother Sean came up from SoCal to be their witness. Meanwhile, it was Jody, Josh’s mom who found my work and asked me to document the wedding. At the County Clerk’s office, we must have missed our number in line, so we had to check in again. Perhaps this was fate, because we ended up with an awesome officiant. First, she kept throwing lovely compliments at these guys, and second, she was totally down to conduct the ceremony on the 4th Floor. We all got a little emotional during the vows, and afterwards we embarked on a whirlwind photographic tour of the building (and Sean found himself on lights). Suddenly everyone was hungry, and lucky for us, the food trucks were still parked outside. The 3 SUM EATS truck provided sandwiches, and even homemade twinkies, which before long were repurposed for a sweet (ba-da-bing!) ring shot. All in all, we just had a ton of fun, and I’m excited and proud that Julie and Josh will go back to Penn with some amazing memories of their San Francisco City Hall wedding!

This one started with symmetry. Cindy and Conrad – big Diet Coke fans – fueled up before the ceremony and photo expedition got underway. San Francisco gifted us a soft, cloudy day, and our City Hall wedding officiant was kind enough to accommodate a ceremony on the fourth floor, where all of that soft light streamed in through the giant windows and fell on Cindy, Conrad and their attendants. After a moving ceremony and some beautiful family moments with Conrad’s parents, we headed out to the Palace of Fine Arts to continue our three-hour session. Gusts of wind inspired some veil play, and the beautiful texture of the PFA architecture made a perfect backdrop for portraits. We finally parted ways, chilly but satisfied! Thank you Cindy and Conrad! All the best!

Serious style and a grandé guestlist – that’s a good way to describe this Rockabilly wedding. Officially, the SF City Hall website says that no more than six guests are allowed to attend the ceremony, but Sarah and Phil don’t live by the rules! Sarah arrived draped in fur, and Phil sported a terrific top hat. When they exited City Hall, a salute of bubbles and a Rolls Royce were there to greet them! Congratulations, Sarah and Phil!

Candice and Cleve decided to come all the way from Richmond, VA, in order to have their wedding at SF City Hall. Even though the skies stayed mostly grey, the day was quite warm, and their bold sense of style spiced things up. After taking some spontaneous portraits in and around City Hall, we ventured out towards Crissy Field and Golden Gate Bridge for some very ‘San Francisco’ shots. Congratulations, guys! Hope you had a great time in SF.

I spent a beautiful afternoon at San Francisco City Hall with Kristen, Derk and their families. Inside, we explored light, texture, and all of the different tableaus that City Hall offers up on a busy weekday. When we stepped outside to play in front of the building, it was obvious that autumn was upon us. The leaves on the sycamore trees in the plaza were starting to turn yellow, and some had already fallen. It was quite a romantic setting! Congratulations, Kristen and Derk!
