soft morning light at san francisco city hall đ¤
sf city hall is basically my backyard at this point - i know it like the back of my hand and take my couples to all the best spots. one of my favorite things is exploring all four floors and finding beautiful pockets of light throughout the building.
a lot of photographers will recommend scheduling your ceremony early in the morning, and while 8-10am is the best time to avoid crowds, not every couple wants to wake up at 4am for hair and makeup just to make it to city hall by 8am. thatâs where hiring a luxury photographer comes inđ i know how to navigate crowds efficiently, and if there are people in the background, i photoshop them out.
so if youâre worried about crowds when booking your city hall ceremony, my advice is this: yes, earlier is ideal, but donât stress debating between an 8am vs 2pm start time. choose the time that will make you happiest on your wedding day.
personally, i know iâd be miserable waking up before the crack of dawn on my wedding day, and if youâre not a morning person, i wouldnât recommend it either. thatâs why youâve got me - to photoshop people out of the background and make sure your photos look flawless no matter what time you say âi do.â đ¤
