Katja and Martin: San Francisco City Hall Wedding

I’m kicking off my return from a recent around the world trip with a beautiful City Hall wedding. I never get tired of shooting here. The lighting is soft, the architecture is timeless and there’s always so much energy as a number of wedding parties wait around for their ceremony. I met Katja and Martin on the steps of City Hall along with their beautiful little girl, Juli, before heading to the Rotunda for the ceremony. Usually City Hall weddings are smaller affairs witness by just close friends or family. However, on this day, the couple had an audience in a group of high school students doing a tour of the building. We spent the next hour shooting on the different floors capturing portraits for the entire family before they took off on their honeymoon holiday.
