Did you know you can bring your 4-legged witness to your elopement? They’re usually everyone’s favorite guest too! June was the perfect guest and witness for yesterday’s couple.

What a California elopement in August looks like:

❤️ Golden hour magic
❤️ One of the most reliable for weather
❤️ Nature becomes your decor
❤️ Guests get a vacation, too


Highly recommend adding August to your elopement planning list.

2027 California elopement trends are looking a little different… and we are here for it.

After 13 years of photographing and planning 2,000+ California elopements, we’re seeing couples choose experiences over expectations, and the result is a wedding day that feels more intentional and relaxed.

Here are the trends we’re loving:

❤️ Weekday elopements with fewer guests

❤️Private vows before the ceremony

❤️Documentary-style photography that captures real moments

❤️Intimate dinners with your closest family and friends

❤️Stress-free, all-inclusive elopement packages

The biggest trend of all? Couples are planning weddings that reflect their relationship, not someone else’s expectations.

If you’re dreaming of a California elopement, San Francisco City Hall wedding, or intimate wedding experience, this is your sign to do it your way.

Which trend would you absolutely include in your day? Tell us in the comments!

Did you know your wedding date might mean more than you think?

Around the world, couples choose wedding dates for all kinds of meaningful reasons. In the U.S., the number 7 is often associated with luck, completion, and new beginnings. In many other cultures, 8 symbolizes prosperity, abundance, and good fortune and when you turn it on its side, it becomes the infinity symbol ♾️, representing everlasting love.

Whether you believe in wedding numerology or simply love choosing a date with personal meaning, your wedding day should tell your story. 🤍

Are you picking your wedding date based on availability, a meaningful number, or a lucky date?

Tell me your wedding date in the comments, and let me know why you chose it! 👇

The biggest mistakes we see couples make at San Francisco City Hall… and we are here to help you avoid them. 🤍

After 13 years of photographing and planning over 2,000 San Francisco City Hall weddings, we’ve seen just about everything. The good news? Most wedding day stress can be avoided with a little preparation.

Here are a few of the biggest mistakes we see:
✨ Arriving right at your ceremony time instead of giving yourself time to breathe.
✨ Not leaving enough time for portraits inside City Hall.
✨ Underestimating parking and security delays.
✨ Choosing a photographer who doesn’t know the building or its best lighting.
✨ Rushing through the experience instead of soaking in every moment.

Your San Francisco civil ceremony may only last a few minutes, but the memories, and your photos, will last a lifetime. A little planning goes a long way.

💬 Which tip surprised you the most? Or if you’re already married at City Hall, what would you add?
