From Cincinnati to San Francisco a beautiful chapter worth remembering. ✨

Dillon & Caitlin, it was truly an honor to have you in front of my camera and to capture such a special part of your journey in San Francisco.

Knowing that you traveled all this way and chose me as your photographer makes these images even more meaningful to me. I hope your time here was filled with beautiful moments, unforgettable memories, and the most wonderful vacation.

I’ll always be incredibly grateful for your trust and for allowing me to preserve a piece of your story through my lens. 🤍

The DeMennos 🤍

Alex & Delanie in San Francisco.

A beautiful morning that began with a ceremony at San Francisco City Hall, followed by a reception at the Veterans Building.

Effortlessly sophisticated, deeply personal, and filled with so much joy. Every part of the day felt like a reflection of the two of them, surrounded by the people they love most, celebrating, laughing, and sharing such a meaningful day.

The kind of celebration that felt just as special to witness as it was to photograph. 🤍

The camera was put away, uber was called, day was done — and then I looked over and saw Maggie with her dress all gathered up in her hands, completely nonchalant, waiting on her car.

Something about it just stopped me. And back out came the camera!

The second frame was earlier, right after the “I dos”. Same bride, different energy.

Always looking for the in-betweens 🤍

I’ve shot at SF City Hall over 100 times.

Here’s what I tell every couple who books it.

If you want that true to color, natural iconic look without strangers walking through your photos you need the 8:00 or 9:00 AM slot.

Tuesday or Wednesday. Non-negotiable.

The light is soft. The rotunda is quiet. It feels like the whole building is yours.

By 11 AM? Tourists. School groups. Wedding parties stacked on top of each other.

The magic is still there — you just have to show up for it.

100+ City Hall sessions later, this is still the move.

What I see vs. what my camera sees... 🏛️✨

Most couples walk into City Hall and see crowds and shadows. I walk in and see art.

With over 100+ SF City Hall elopements under my belt, I’ve learned exactly how to angle out the tourists and find the best lighting that makes you glow. You don’t need to be “good at posing”—you just need a photographer who knows how to guide you.

Creating tattoos that feel like a natural extension of your body ✨

Brown ink is my personal favorite 🤎 Especially on light, freckled skin it looks soft, warm, and incredibly natural, almost like the design has always been there.

Freckles style tattoos are subtle, feminine, and timeless 🌿 They do not overpower you, they highlight you.

Would you get a freckles tattoo?
What would be your biggest fear about it 🤍

Sharing a bit more of A + A’s story because their day deserves it.

From getting ready at the Fairmont to running around City Hall for their ceremony, everything with them just flowed so naturally — such an easy, fun morning to capture.

If you’re planning a 2026 wedding or City Hall celebration, I’m now booking and would love to photograph your day 🤍
