We had a blast meeting up with Tina and Joel for their recent engagement session. It was quite different to use bicycles as props and we had some amazing light throughout our evening at the Temple of Music in GG Park.

We first met Nishika and Jake three years ago in Mexico when they were guests at a destination wedding we shot. We were very happy to hear that they themselves got engaged some time ago and are also planning a Mexico wedding. We have a few shoots lined up for them already, but to start it off we photographed a very San Francisco Engagement Session at Park Presidio.

We are always happy when people incorporate their pets into the shoots, it just makes it so much more personal and fun!

Ziggy even got a haircut just for the shoot and looked very sharp! This dog is so cute that I had to refrain from poking him just to make sure he’s real! :)

You know how people say that we usually don’t treasure what we have? Time and time again it proves to be true. How special is the San Francisco City Hall to all of us?

I used to work right across the street from it and never seemed to notice it. The lawns around it were a good place to have lunch on a sunny day, but nothing more than that. To the people living in and around San Francisco who run past it every day it’s often just another building.

Well, what I didn’t know until recently is just how many people from all over the US come to the San Francisco City Hall to get eloped. That’s right, I think almost half of the weddings we shoot at City Hall are actually destination weddings. Some couples have even told us that it is not San Francisco that lured them in, but in fact the beauty of the City Hall.

Katherine and Joseph recently came all the way from Miami for their elopement at the San Francisco City Hall. We got pretty lucky with the weather on this day (as if our weather can ever be nice enough for a visitor from Miami :) Well, the weather was good enough and following their ceremony we left their guests behind to spend a couple of ours driving Katherine and Joseph around to show them our beautiful city and to take photographs at many of the San Francisco sights.

Here are our favorites from the day:

Majority of the City Hall elopements that we photograph happen on Friday afternoons. Unfortunately it’s a very popular time slot, so the building is always full of people. Katherine and Joseph choose to have their wedding on Tuesday morning, and we were excited to see an absolutely empty City Hall. I’ve always wanted to capture this perspective without people all over the floors, so this made me very happy:

Congratulations Katherine and Joseph, hope you guys will have an amazing time in Hawaii and thoroughly enjoy your honeymoon!
