Your San Francisco City Hall Wedding


We are often asked how a typical city hall photography session works. In most cases we meet our couple by the Clerks office at city hall before their ceremony check-in time. We then assist with the entire check-in process including taking some candid pictures to record this very important part of your special day. It's at this point that you will meet with your officiant and have your witness sign the marriage license. If you are eloping and it's just the two of you, we are happy to serve as your witness. This is also an opportunity to photograph the signing of the license. Once this process is complete, we all head up to the City Hall Rotunda to wait for your Officiant to arrive. After the ceremony is complete we will photograph you with your friends and relatives with a series of beautiful group shots with the gorgeous architecture of San Francisco City Hall in the background. Then it's time to take the couple on a photo tour of this amazing building with stops at some of our favorite picture locations. We are also more than happy to listen to your suggestions and incorporate them into the shoot. It's your wedding and we would love your input!

How do you reserve a wedding date?


You will need to make 2 reservations, you can schedule your ceremony through the on-line reservation system and can reserve your date as early as 90 days in advance.

To reserve the Mayor's Balcony or 4th Floor Gallery for a weekday wedding the cost is an additional $1,000. These reservations need to be made through the City Hall Events Office.
