With summer here, city hall has become very busy.\u00a0 The Quincea\u00f1eras are out in full force and that makes the building a bit more crowded. We are receiving many wedding inquiries for city hall and there is an obvious backlog of weddings to get done.\u00a0 This has mostly faded away at this point, although we still receive notices from people wanting to get married that were not able to during the Pandemic closure. I assume that some of them just took a while to reschedule and make new plans.\u00a0 Putting together a wedding and coordinating things with relatives and friends can be a big job. Below is an excerpt from this past summer:<\/p>\n
We had quite a crazy week at city hall! \u00a0Besides photographing 5 beautiful couples in only 4 days, we also had to deal with record temps! \u00a0On Friday San Francisco hit the 103 mark which was an all-time record. \u00a0We were lucky enough to have booked a wedding on that day and got to experience the incredible heat. \u00a0Fortunately, City Hall is slow to heat up and also slow to cool down. \u00a0Often the day of the heat wave, the building never gets up to unbearable temperatures, but watch out for the following day! \u00a0If the famous San Francisco fog doesn\u2019t roll in, the building will heat up like an oven. \u00a0All of that concrete and marble tends to hold on to the heat, but the whole process takes a while. \u00a0Thus, we really had our hottest shooting day at City Hall the following days after the heat wave.<\/p>\n
I have to say that our couples all handled the heat very well and were good sports. \u00a0Some of the guys with their tuxes were clearly suffering a bit, but they never let their bride see any extreme discomfort. \u00a0 We purposely tried to keep our normal shooting pace slow, to keep everyone cool. \u00a0I have a tendency to walk fast through the building, but not this week!\u00a0 Thankfully Toni, usually keeps reminds me and keeps my pace down. It was a relief on Thursday to leave city hall and head out to the Palace of Fine Arts. \u00a0We had a feeling that once we got there, it would be cooler given its proximity to the Bay. \u00a0We were not disappointed when we were greeted by a nice cool breeze.\u00a0 The breeze off of the San Francisco Bay is always the saving grace when it comes to Bay Area hot weather.<\/p>\n
With so many weddings this week to talk about, I will end this post here, but promise to pick it up again tomorrow and talk about some of our other couples for the week. \u00a0Thanks for listening!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
