One of our favorite couples of 2014! Its really hard to believe that it has been that long. We recently saw that they were celebrating their 9th wedding Anniversary. 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 obtained some amazing shots. You can go to our slideshow page if you want to see their complete wedding with a music video. We ended this shoot with a take off on the movie: "An Officer and a Gentleman" Totally fun! We provide our military couples with a special discount to thank them for their service. This particular wedding was 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! I know that Toni was certainly impressed. They booked our City Hall PLUS package which provided them with 1.5 hours of San Francisco city hall wedding photography coverage. 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 fully engage your loved ones on your wedding day, but this impossible if your city hall wedding photographer is rushing you through the photos.

Certainly we would like to honor any military personnel 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. 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 newlyweds.
