San Francisco City Hall Wedding Photographer

San Francisco City Hall is gorgeous and a spectacular place to be married. Wedding photographs at San Francisco City Hall capture its majesty and it is a fabulous backdrop for lifelong precious memories.

I’ve been to many venues in the San Francisco Bay Area as a wedding photographer for large and small weddings and in my opinion nothing compares to the intimacy of sharing a very beautiful moment with a few friends and loved ones at San Francisco City Hall.

Every couple that I’ve photographed at San Francisco City Hall talks about how incredible it is and how they felt so relaxed not having to worry about a big wedding. The judges are all very nice too. Couples always so glad they chose the wedding they did.

Sample Itinerary

Here’s what I recommend: I meet you in Room 168, where you get your license and sign in. We’ll have a little time to photograph you on the stairs and around the beautiful architecture before we go back to Room 168 and wait for the judge to call you. There’s a bit of a wait that for obvious reasons would feel like forever; luckily I take some of the pressure off an otherwise nervous and preoccupied small eternity by taking some more photographs.

After you sign for your license we go to the Rotunda (be sure request that to your photographer - it’s the room at the top of that great staircase). You have a beautiful ceremony, I take some more photographs and after your vows and a quick photo with the judge we take a few more photographs and head outside for some outdoor shots before jumping into the limo and going to some of the fantastic San Franciso monuments such as the Palace of Fine Arts, Baker Beach, Ocean Beach, Crissy Fields, Coit Tower, the Golden Gate Bridge, your hotel, and The Legion of Honor.

Retouching and Special Effects

Basic retouching for the included print package is complementary and I always get inspired to do a few special effects.

Pricing information for city hall weddings can be found here. Please look through my wedding portfolio and read my clients' words of praise. Contact me if you have any questions or would like to schedule a consultation.
