Natural light. The saying goes," that Natural Light is always best." For phones perhaps but, for professional photography, it is not so straightforward. Yes, at first glance, it doesn't seem hard to take a bad photo at a place like San Francisco City Hall. One of the most often asked question from couples is when is the best time for photo at City Hall? Most people understandably equate the question as like asking about the Golden Hour for outdoor photography. The entire building was designed for expansive views and to show the glory of the preeminent city of the West Coast at the turn of the century. It was not designed for wedding photography. City Hall is MUCH darker than it first appears, and only the 4th floor has adequate natural light during most days of the year. And if it's a cloudy day, then what?
If you want dimension, life and colors in your photos. If you don't want your photos to look like everyone else's. You will need a professional photographer that understands how to light this huge amazing space in a way that your family and friends will love, The most romantic and beautiful building on the West Coast offers four majestic floors that inspire lifelong memories.
Our Lead City Hall wedding Photographer, Ken Mendoza, knows City Hall like no other, from the dates and times sunlight actually hits down to the first floor of the building to wedding day hacks, like those hidden spaces that are always quiet and intimate even on the busiest days. Ken will always be using natural light when it is available for striking dramatic moments, like this:
Finally, our post-production is unmatched with every photo is edited to remove strangers, fire alarms and annoying camera and lights that disturb the beauty of the amazing architecture. We can handle any size group with our team of hand-picked photographers led by Ken.
Our photography services are very flexible with packages for every need. From elopement /ceremony only, to all day - wedding prep, first look, Ceremony (personal vows coverage) and additional locations and more.
