I thought it would it would be nice to go back in time and feature some of our more memorable weddings in addition to keeping up with new ones. When I think about past SF city hall wedding photography experiences, Robyn and Jeff always come to mind. We probably overuse the term “fun couple”, but with them it totally fit! Neither the bride or groom seemed at all nervous, but they were definitely excited to get married to each other. They booked us for the full treatment by requesting our San Francisco Tour Package. This package provides 4 hours of coverage and 3 locations in San Francisco after the city hall photo tour has been completed.
This couple had a very large gathering of family and friends who watched their nuptials in the Great Rotunda at San Francisco City Hall. After photographing them with with their guests we took them around the building for our fun-filled photo tour. Robyn knew how to pose for the camera and seemed to be having fun doing it. In many cases, they improvised on our suggested positioning, adding their own personal twist. We have included a photo of them standing in the city hall window, a practice that is no longer allowed on the 3rd floor. I still decided to include it here because it makes a great statement about the 2 of them and their love for each other. Again, they improvised this pose to make it even better.
San Francisco Wedding Photography Tour
After our time at San Francisco city hall was completed and the wedding was over, we left the building to explore some other SF locations. Our first stop was Nob Hill to get some Cable Car shots on California street. We got an unexpected treat when the newly married couple informed us that THEY would be supplying the transportation and we would be riding with them in a brand new Tesla Model S! Yes, that’s the one with a temporary performance setting that electronically puts out around 700 Horsepower. The car goes from 0-60 mph in under 3 seconds in that mode and we pretty much experienced it on California Street. I believe the Mode is called “Ludicrous” and sure enough, it was that fast. A fun filled ride ending with some fantastic Cable Car shots. The Car belonged to a friend of theirs and at the time, Tesla’s were a bit of an oddity because they had just been introduced to the public. Funny thing was at the time, I had not even heard of them. Now of course you can find them everywhere, especially in California.
San Francisco Street Wedding Photography
After our thrilling ride and Cable Car shots, Robyn and Jeff wanted to take some pictures of them just walking around town. The idea was to show some of San Francisco’s typical street scenes in the downtown area, which happened to be a favorite location for them. So went down closer to Market Street and did some “street photography” with them just crossing streets (carefully) and interacting. we made a special point to show the high-rises in the background and some restaurants. Great stuff and a fun way to end their San Francisco wedding photography tour.
Note: This wonderful couple was one of our first at San Francisco city hall. We recently found out that the bride very tragically passed away. One of our favorite couples ever so we were very sad to hear this. Condolences to Jeff, he was such a loving husband throughout Robyn’s struggles. I wanted to post this as tribute to Robyn who bravely fought her illness for some time.
