San Francisco City Hall Wedding Portraits
San Francisco City Hall is a beautiful place to take portraits – the building is replete with terrific settings and backgrounds. I was there with Elisa and Fabio, who picked up their marriage license on this day before their wedding next week and asked me to meet them there for some photos of that process in addition to traditional engagement portraits. We lucked out and found the main floor empty of tourists, as the building was in the process of being converted to an event space for the evening. I love coming back and shooting here; it gives me a chance to search for new portrait locations. I’m looking forward to photographing Elisa and Fabio’s North Beach wedding next week.
St John Armenian Church Wedding
Aras married Ellen at St. John Armenian Apostolic Church at San Francisco, and this is one of many hugs that followed. I don’t see this type of brotherhood every day, or even every other Saturday during wedding season. When I do, I’m overjoyed to think of my own brothers and the great male friends I have, and I’m glad to know that this strength of friendship exists in the world. It was my first time shooting a St John Armenian Church Wedding; I was elated to experience the dramatic lighting and interesting neighborhood of another iconic San Francisco church. After I took this photo, we made our way up to Twin Peaks and then to the Embarcadero for some portraits, before a magnificent reception at the Omni Hotel, in the heart of San Francisco’s Financial District.
