"Emily was a true professional and made every effort to make sure our special day was just that and Emily definitely captured the emotion of the day. Photos were top class and the follow through and after sales was exactly as promised."
- mike
Have some “smile at the camera” portraits of you and your VIPs but many un-posed candid moments of you two in love, having fun, and enjoying your big day.
You want a “butterfly” photographer that might gently suggest things to do (can you look at each other?) but not adjust every position ("please move your elbow 10 degrees", etc.)
You want lots of photos – even if they are technically not perfect, because it’s part of your memory of your big day
Want to have photos that you can pass down to generations to come and someday have your kids say “wow, my parents’ wedding was so much fun!”
Easy going, and love to have fun!
This package is perfect for couples that want every moment of their special day captured! This package will capture your arrival at City Hall, check-in, the signing of the license, your ceremony, and post-ceremony photos inside and outside of City Hall. (Approximately 1.5-2 hours)
Start-to-Finish City Hall

City Hall is gorgeous, but there are so many other gorgeous locations throughout San Francisco to explore. You may add an additional hour at up to two locations to the package above. Pricing starts at $875 for one additional location and is $1,400 for two locations.
I've done shoots all over San Francisco and know some amazing locations, which you can check out on my portfolio page. I also know all 10 beaches in San Francisco really well. Here is the breakdown so you know which beach to choose from, if you're interested!

Some of my favorite combinations are:
• Ferry Building/Pier 7/California Street Cable Cars (these cable cars are usually stopped, so the best chance of taking photos with them)
• Russian Hill/City Skyline/Cable Cars passing by followed by ice cream!
• Ghirardelli Square + Aquatic Park Beach (you can see the Golden Gate Bridge in the far distance on a clear day)
• Painted Ladies (Alamo Square) and Grand View Park (360 views of the city on a clear day)
• Lands End (Ocean views, views of the bridge, pretty trees)
• Marshall's Beach (Can't be beaten if you want the bridge and beach combo)
• Palace of Fine Arts and Crissy Field (nice combo of architecture and beach/GGB)
• Lover's Lane (beautiful trees) and Crissy Field (beach and bridge)
Is your preferred date already booked at City Hall? No problem! You can book an officiant through us and still hold your ceremony at City Hall on your original wedding date.
While this is by no means a requirement to be married at City Hall, it is an option that offers you more flexibility and helps you bypass the lines at City Hall.

Everyone’s wedding preferences are different, so we designed this package to take away any pressure during your wedding day and allow you to start and finish when you want.
After capturing hundreds of City Hall weddings, I found that most weddings at this location last anywhere from an hour to two hours total, with about 30 minutes to 1.5 hours of active shooting time.
I usually meet you around 15 minutes before your ceremony time, unless otherwise specified. I will help you check-in, make sure your guests (if any) know where to wait, capture the check-in process, and marriage license signing (as much as city hall allows). After these pre-ceremony steps, I will capture your ceremony and post-ceremony photos!
You never know how you'll feel on you wedding day - you may want to explore the entire building and outside, or just stick to a few key places inside and then go eat! Whatever your preference, this package can flex to fit your needs.
Your day, your way!

What do you imagine your city hall wedding photos to be like? Or even your wedding day - did you want to end your day on the beach with a sunset and champagne and cake? Let's do it! You want to pretend like I'm not even there and you just want all candid shots of your wedding day? I know all the places to hide in City Hall. (I won't be that creepy, but I am totally ok being the "fly on the wall" photographer for you!)
About Me ~ San Francisco City Hall Wedding Photographer
Photographing for couples getting married at San Francisco’s City Hall is absolutely one of my favorites! I honestly wished that I got married there, and it’s such a special occasion every time. As much as I am there (I am there 1-6 times a week!), every couple has a different story, and I love to learn about them, and bring their personality out in the photographs.
