San Francisco City Hall Wedding Photographer | Custom Packages

 

San Francisco City Hall is a beautiful wedding venue where Joe Di Maggio married Marilyn Monroe and Mexican artists Frida Kahlo and Diego Rivera proclaimed their union.

We love photographing San Francisco City Hall weddings – they are often the most intimate and emotional weddings we see where the amount of love in the air is always mind-blowing!

Famous for its tall airy dome, City Hall is an architectural feast for the eyes that yields countless creative and stylish photo opportunities.

We have been photographing weddings at San Francisco City Hall for over six years and would be happy to capture your special celebration!

Here is why we rock:

• We’re familiar with City Hall and know where to be and how to best capture all of your story-telling moments: the spontaneous candids, ceremony close-ups, creative and modern portraits, as well as your family and group photographs.
• Given the short time frame of City Hall weddings, we know how to work very quickly to capture images with the most variety and highest quality.
• Our artistic style is a blend of unobtrusive documentary coverage with a flair for creative and stunning portraits.
• We use professional grade high-resolution cameras, lenses, and always bring back-up equipment.

 

San Francisco City Hall Wedding Photography Package includes:

• 1-3 hours of coverage, which allows enough time to capture everything from the pre-ceremony preparations in room 168 to the ceremony itself, group family photos, and finally creative portraits of the bride and groom both inside and outside of the City Hall.
• Your wedding images are individually retouched and finished within 3-4 weeks of your wedding day. Full-resolution, edited, print-ready photographs are delivered to you on a DVD and uploaded to private online galleries where your friends and family can enjoy the photographs and order custom prints.
• Package options: 1 hour for $595, 2 hours for $895, and 3 hours for $1,095. Additional coverage time is available in half-an-hour increments.

We also offer a full range of custom designed wedding albums and additional photo sessions. San Francisco City Hall wedding package is available only Monday-Friday.

Tips for how to get married at City Hall

How
You’ll need two reservations – one to get your marriage license and the second for your ceremony. You can make reservations up to 90 day in advance of your ceremony date. Reservations for City Hall ceremonies can be made online (Online Civil Ceremony Reservations) or in person.

When
Ceremonies are available Monday-Friday from 10am to 3:30pm. The couple and no more than 2 witnesses should arrive to the Room 168 for check-in 10 minutes before your appointment time. There’s a limit of 10 minutes for the ceremony and photos. The ceremony takes about half of the time. We will then photograph you at other beautiful places around City Hall as well as other San Francisco locations.

Who
You will need 1 witness and can have no more than 6 guests, although we have seen bigger gatherings. We have acted as a witness for our clients in the past and are honored to do it again, so just ask.

Where
City Hall offers several places for the ceremony. You can take a Photo Tour of City Hall. The Rotunda is beautiful and free, but unfortunately cannot be guaranteed. Since it’s a popular spot, there may be other couples waiting nearby. The 4th Floor and the Mayor’s Balcony are both more private, can accommodate up to 100 guests, and the space is yours for one hour. You’ll need to reserve them through the Office of Special Events for an additional fee.

Details
Don’t forget to bring legal photo identification, cash or check to pay all fees, a valid marriage license, rings and a witness.
