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.
An old friend of mine asked me to photograph her wedding at San Francisco City Hall. We did some traditional portraits before the ceremony, some family photos after, and then, just as I was about to leave, the horse mask appeared.
