Erika & Roman - San Francisco, Ca

Wow, my first wedding of 2009 and I am so excited to post these pictures. Erika and Roman were married in San Francisco's beautiful City Hall. They are have a wedding in Mexico later this month but wanted some pictures for their civil ceremony. I love shooting at city hall because it's so classic San Francisco and old worldly.
Erika glammed it up with her super chic outfit, matching yellow accessories and white gloves and Roman was looking effortlessly handsome in a charcoal pin stripped suit. Talk about a stylish couple! They are the epitome of sophistication and style. Then Erika's sisters and mother showed looking equally stylish and beautiful. I was in photographers heaven. Yes, Erika is obviously a natural beauty but she went with the classic theme of SF's City Hall and pulled together an appropriate and stylish outfit which took it up a notch. Now this is how you get married at city hall!









Here's a slide show of the whole day...

Perry & Chiyo - San Francisco City Hall

San Francisco City Hall is really amazing. I've shot a civil ceremony in NYC before and tragically the building is not as nice for such a fine city. This couple was able to get married on the Rotunda, at the top of a sweeping grand staircase. Perry and Chiyo are a very chic looking couple who met at a salsa class in Chicago. His buddies decided to show up in support looking like Perry in his signature ascot and hat ensemble.







Side note: The SF City Hall Rotunda was featured in the Raiders of the Lost Ark movie which was actually supposed to be Washington D.C. Who knew? Love that movie.

Kristine & Michael - NYC

I was so honored when my friend Kristine asked me to shoot her civil ceremony in NY. They will be having a wedding in Germany over the summer, but wanted to have their civil ceremony documented in NY this past weekend. They truly are a class act couple. Thank you Mike and Kristine!
