Alrighty then!

If you're getting married at San Francisco City Hall, this guide to the entire process will probably change your life. Just sayin'.

Ultimate Guide

I photograph weddings & engagements in the Bay Area (where I'm based) and anywhere you'd care to take me! What kind of weddings? Any kind! My couples tend to be a little offbeat, falling somewhere outside of the mainstream.

But anyone who is having a wedding that honors their personal values, is going to be a good fit. Whatever that looks like! Cultural weddings, DIY weddings, destination weddings, LGBTQ+ celebrations, big blow-out weddings and elopements!

Speaking of which, I absolutely love photographing elopements and definitely want to do more! Elopement packages are available Monday - Friday, and anytime during the months of December - April.

I specialize in photographing San Francisco City Hall weddings. You can read about how I fell into it and how I'll help guide you through the process here. Once you've done that, check out my blog's many City Hall planning resources here!

Bay Area weddings, elopements & engagements!
