FAQs

  • It’s best to book me as soon as you know your wedding date to ensure availability, especially if your wedding is during a busy season or at a popular venue like San Francisco City Hall. Most couples book few months in advance, but for City Hall weddings, even 1-2 months can work if my schedule allows.


  • A standard civil ceremony typically lasts about 5-10 minutes. However, you should plan for extra time for check-in, waiting, and post-ceremony photos.


  • Mornings usually have the best lighting and fewer crowds, making it easier to capture beautiful, uninterrupted photos.


  • For standard civil ceremonies, you can bring up to 6 guests, including children. If you book a private space, like the Mayor’s Balcony or Fourth Floor Gallery, you can invite more guests.
