Sandra and Charlene were a great same-sex couple that we met at San Francisco City Hall to record their nuptials. They both wore white dresses which made for some great wedding photos. You could tell they were very much in love and really enjoyed the whole process of having their wedding pictures done. We liked working with them so much that we decided to put together a slideshow video and posted it on YouTube. The photo above just happened, it was all made by the couple. We were discussing basketball since one of the brides was a coach and she went into her basketball move. It was a fun moment and I was lucky enough to catch it. I also love her partners reaction to her move. It makes for an awesome memory that they will always treasure. Most of all, the wedding picture captures their personalities. To me, this is one of more important challenges when it comes to successful city hall wedding photography. The day is relatively short when compared to a standard weekend wedding so you have less time with the couple. Getting to know them and talking to them about their preferences goes a long way in helping capture the type of people they are. This is what people like to see when they view their wedding pictures. I know I have had a good shoot when the couple tells me that the pictures really reflect who they are.
