About Ken
| My name is Ken Mendoza and I am a photographer based in San Francisco, California and the founder of San Francisco City Hall Wedding Photographers and Cofounder of Duendephoto (San Francisco Bay Area & Destination Weddings). As long as I can remember, I've been inspired to create. Ever since I discovered my passion for photography it's been my obsession. As a client, you will feel the love for what I do and the enthusiasm for making each image perfect. Photography is my lifestyle and my channel through which I capture and appreciate the beauty that surrounds me every day. The beauty in People. The Beauty of the Bay Area. And yes, the beauty of light. |  |

I am based in the San Francisco Bay Area and often travel to Wine Country, Vancouver, & Yosemite. In that last year, I photographed a wedding in India of a couple that had their American wedding at City Hall. I also photographed a full wedding on top of Half Dome, in Yosemite. Yes, I'll go anywhere in the world to capture that special moment.
