San Francisco City Hall Wedding

A San Francisco City Hall Wedding, Captured Afterward

Not every San Francisco City Hall wedding has a photographer there on the day. Plenty of couples marry in a simple civil ceremony, then only think about photos afterward. This couple’s San Francisco City Hall wedding portraits happened just that way — vows first, camera later. They came back to capture the portraits they’d wished they had from the start.

Portraits Throughout City Hall’s Iconic Architecture

We spent the session moving through City Hall’s most photogenic corners for these San Francisco City Hall wedding portraits. There’s the grand rotunda, with its towering marble columns and twin stone urns. There’s the sweeping double staircase, one of the most recognizable backdrops in San Francisco. And there are the gilded balcony railings and quiet window nooks tucked along the corridors. City Hall’s architecture does a lot of the work in photos like these, and it was a joy to explore it with them. Whether it’s been a week since your ceremony or several years, that same architecture is still there and ready for its own session.
