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!

Cindy + Conrad | San Francisco City Hall Wedding
May 17, 2011Thank You!
April 18, 2011Last week I received a beautiful thank you note from Allison and John. I love my job! 
What an amazing time I had with this gorgeous couple from Charleston, South Carolina! See how John’s pointing at me in that first photo? He’s saying to Cynthia Gregory, the lovely wedding officiant, “Yeah, that guy with the cameras is going to be our witness.” What an honor granted to a photographer! Meanwhile, the mini-heat wave that was granted to San Francisco made it possible for us to do lots of photography outdoors and also provided gorgeous light. From City Hall we traveled to the Palace of Fine Arts for even more photographic adventures. All the while, Allison and John were full of energy and totally inseparable. Thank you guys for a wonderful afternoon! Come back to SF soon!
Oliver + Heidi | San Francisco City Hall Wedding
February 10, 2011As soon as I arrived at City Hall to document Oliver and Heidi’s wedding, I knew the day would be special. Although it was January, SF was at the start of a several week-long heat wave. The weather couldn’t have been better. I met the couple inside the building, and as we waited for the administrative formalities, they couldn’t take their eyes off each other. Every glance, every touch was imbued with meaning. The judge pointed out that they should meet him at the Rotunda, but, seeing the beautiful afternoon light filtering through the big windows, I suggested that we conduct the ceremony on the fourth floor instead. As we ascended in the elevator, the judge lifted his binder and began, “We are gathered here…” That cracked everyone up. The real ceremony was moving and beautiful, and I was able to capture some tender moments between Heidi and Oliver. They had come from far away to get married in San Francisco, and it was perfect.
Cassidy + Brandon | San Francisco City Hall Wedding
January 13, 2011On a rainy January day, Cassidy, Brandon and their guests arrived at San Francisco City Hall to get married. It so happens that on the same day, a media circus also arrived at City Hall for the inauguration of SF’s new interim mayor. Despite the craziness below the Mayor’s Balcony, this beautiful couple never took their eyes off each other. After a whirlwind photo session in the building, they were escorted back to the limo under some awesome purple umbrellas, and we continued our photo shoot around the city. Needless to say, color, laughter and style ruled the day. Congratulations, Cassidy and Brandon!!
San Francisco City Hall Wedding | Candice + Cleve
November 9, 2010Candice 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.
