Trendy SF Elopement Locations!
San Francisco has so many iconic spots, and I'm sure you've noticed them over the years on popular sitcoms and in famous movies. One of the reasons that San Francisco is such a popular destination for weddings and elopements, is that many people feel like they already know us, having grown up with our city as the backdrop on their big and small screens!
A and K felt this way, and then each moved to San Francisco after college to start their careers. They met online and their first date was a picnic at Alamo Square park, home of the very famous "Full House" Victorian row houses.
When it was time to plan their wedding, they knew that they wanted a full-circle experience of returning to the exact spot (literally!) where their lives intersected for the first time.
They chose to have their wedding on the 4th Floor Gallery North at San Francisco City Hall. Most people don't think a City Hall wedding can be a "real wedding". but that's definitely not true at our favorite venue. If you're interested in booking this space, it's $1000 for an hour, and you're able to rent chairs for all of your guests as well. Check the link below to see if your date and time are available!
When I look at the beautiful small wedding photographs from their wedding, I see so many elements of a traditional wedding but modified for their smaller space and event time. For example, the bride and groom both walked down the aisle with their parents, they had a wedding party, and they even had the first dance right up at the altar as soon as they sealed the deal with a kiss!
After all the family portraits and couples photography at San Francisco City Hall, it was time for us to head out into the city for my favorite part of the day. A and K had asked me for cityscape wedding photography with views, and of course, recreating the moment that they met for the first time. As they gazed over the Victorian houses, they both said it was such an incredible Déjà vu moment for them, and how happy they were that they'd come back to the park on their intimate wedding day.
