San Francisco City Hall wedding & Civil Ceremony photography package
or short weekday elopement coverage around bay Area

I realize that everyone needs a good photographer for their local or destination wedding. If you have a short weekday (Monday - Friday) Civil Ceremony in San Francisco City Hall or in any other place around Bay Area and need a photographer for few hours: I have a package tailored just for that.

This simple Elopement Photography package includes edited (printable & copyright release) high resolution files for $895 with two hours of coverage. In addition and for no extra fee I can post your images in password protected online gallery for your family and friends to view. More then that, you can order a beautiful magazine style album and other products.

Package includes elopement coverage by one photographer of the Civil Ceremony at the City Hall and one additional location (your choice) around San Francisco before or after the ceremony. This can be used for family, bridal portraits or both. There will be no limit of photos taken during the coverage time. Additional coverage billed $350-$450/Hr. Some restrictions apply: for example on 09/09/09 date.

Of course it’s not just City Hall. There are plenty of inspiring places such as the Japanese Tea Gardens, Shakespeare Gardens, Coit Tower, Presidio Chapel, Land's End around the city. I should not forget to mention Napa, Sonoma, Calistoga and other places in Wine County which I cover as part of this package. I will be happy to talk with you about the details of your day, and can even recommend an officiant, florist and makeup artist if you’d like. All bookings are subject to availability. If I book a full wedding on your date, I will send an associate photographer at no additional cost.

I offer this package so you can thrill to the knowledge that your lifetime memories will be some of the most beautiful anywhere.  After all, you can have the most expensive wedding ceremony in the world, but an amateur photographer will not capture its beauty.  A good photographer will make the simplest setting vibrate with life.

I photograph weddings exclusively in many destinations throughout the country and sometimes worldwide (check out my European Wedding Collection). However, I want very much to make myself available to wedding ceremonies in my local community. Please visit my main portfolio page to see much more of my work.

If you are having a wedding on Saturday or Sunday and would like to receive a package details, please view this page.

Note: I do not offer free consultation with this package. I believe my work presented here and customer reviews speak for themselves. To retain my services I offer convenient and secure online payment tools and of course old fashion checks are welcome. Sales tax, parking and applicable travel fee (beyond 50 miles) will be applied on top of the total price. Final balance is due on the day of the wedding.

Suggestions:

I recommend getting the license on a different day then your actual ceremony if possible. Sometimes it might take 20-30 or even more minutes before you get a chance to sign it.

SF City Hall does not allow Civil Ceremony reservations beyond 90 days in advance so those who planning on popular dates such as 03/29, 08/08/08, 09/09/09, etc., long weekend dates, to reserve hours immediately 90 days before in order to get the spot.

Best time for the Ceremony is around 3:00PM as City Hall generally is emptier this time of the date, waiting is shorter and it is easier to get panoramic photos without tourists in it. However, best light is around noon.

Please take a look at our sample movie to get a better look at a City Hall wedding. We can create a real cinematic movie for you as well. Take a look at a sample below. This ceremony was filmed at Gavin Newsom's (San Francisco Mayor) office.
