One of our favorite couples of 2014! It's really hard to believe that it has been that long since we photographed this military SF City Hall wedding. We recently saw that they were celebrating their 9th wedding Anniversary and could barely believe it. We really had a wonderful time photographing this marriage and getting to know the couple pretty well. We took them to all 4 floors of San Francisco City Hall and captured some amazing wedding pictures. You can go to our slideshow page if you want to see their complete wedding with a music slideshow video. We ended this shoot with a take off on the movie: "An Officer and a Gentleman" Totally fun! It worked great with the groom fully dressed in his military Navy uniform. Also a nice touch from the bride tipping his cap.
We provide all of our military couples with a special discount to thank them for their service. The Discount ranges from 5% to 10% depending upon the size of the Package. Smaller packages like our Elopement Package will receive 5%. This particular wedding was an elopement and one of our favorites because the couple was so fun and easy to work with. They loved posing for photos and were willing to try all kinds of challenging types of shots. Our groom lifted her in the air and bent her back in a very athletic way. He seemed to do it all with ease! They booked our City Hall PLUS package which provided them with 1.5 hours of San Francisco city hall wedding photography coverage and additional time for family and friend wedding pictures.
Even though this particular wedding was an elopement, they still really wanted to spend a considerable amount of time capturing their wedding memories so they chose a larger package. This package is helpful if you have guests because it gives us enough time to work with your guests and also photograph them with you both. The other important aspect of this package is that it also includes extra time for guest interaction. You really should be fully involved with your loved ones on your wedding day. This package gives you extra time to do so. the last thing we want to do as your city hall wedding photographer is to rush you through the photos.

Certainly we would like to honor any military personnel and even veterans by treating them special and providing a nice reduction in price. In this particular wedding we had a couple that was getting married while the military groom was on leave and soon heading back to active duty. This seems to be a pretty common occurrence when it comes to military weddings at San Francisco city hall. It's nice that couples who need a quick wedding and marriage license are able to get it all accomplished in a very short time with a minimal of planning. That is the beauty of San Francisco city hall weddings. The chance to get married with not too much fuss and with minimal notice.
We can pretty much do the same types of posing and pictures we do with anyone else and will try some pictures with the cover (military hat or cap) and some without. As usual, the idea is to mix it up a little. We were actively involved in making this wedding shoot go as great as possible with all types of photos that were requested by our military newlyweds. So if you are active military personnel or a Veteran, check out our Discount programs for wedding photography at San Francisco city hall.
