Let me introduce you to a City Hall Wedding

How to prepare
1
Process
Please complete the form, and I’ll arrange a Zoom call to discuss your vision of your City Hall wedding. I’ll also create a mood board for posing ideas and help you plan and organize the entire day, so everything runs smoothly. You’ll receive both the edited images and all RAW files via a WeTransfer link that stays active for 30 days.

Moodboard
Relax! You don’t have to know how to look effortless on camera; even professional models need guidance. We’ll put together a mood board first: browse the pose ideas, keep the ones that feel right, and skip those that don’t. On shoot day it’ll be our cheat sheet, and I’ll coach you each step, guiding your movements and where to look.
How to get married at the SF City Hall 2025/2026
Step by step
01
02
Pay attention to the opening hours! San Francisco City Hall does not work on weekends, and on weekdays it opens at 8 am and works until 5 pm. The best time to shoot is 8 am, so most likely you will be the only couple and other people will not interfere with the photoshoot.
03
Public Civil Ceremony
Time: Every half hour, Monday through Friday between 9:00 am – 3:30 pm
Check-in: 15 minutes before your ceremony reservation, at the Information Desk in Room 160
Location: Rotunda
You need: Witness, marriage license, valid IDs for both of you.
Price for it $98
For the wedding itself under California law, you need at least one witness. City Hall provides an officiant for public and civil ceremonies. And I can be your witness and photographer

Parking
Parking in the area is a challenge. I recommend using only guarded parking lots, SF City Hall located not in the safe area. For example Performing Arts Garage - Lot #201 (360 Grove St, San Francisco, CA 94102), I myself always use this parking lot.
