San Francisco City Hall is an old building, but to the couples that walk into it for their wedding ceremony, there’s so much new to explore. On the day of Summer and Yan’s wedding, City Hall gave us a lot to work with. Beautiful, warm afternoon sunlight streamed through the windows of the third and fourth floors, and the building seemed to be emptier than usual. After I documented their moving ceremony and arranged some classic portraits with their families, the couple and I were off on our adventure around City Hall. We traversed the building, gravitating towards the beautiful light. Afterwards, we headed outside and on to the Golden Gate Bridge to complete our shoot. Summer and Yan were a joy to photograph because they were so relaxed and so open to playing and experimenting. Despite the chilly evening at the Bridge, Summer bravely meandered along the wharf in only her beautiful wedding dress. Yan was handsome, confident. Summer was elegant, light, and graceful, with beautiful hands and gorgeous long hair. The connection between the two of them was undeniable. My job was easy.
