San Francisco City Hall + Penny Roma Restaurant Wedding » San Francisco, California » Erin Prado for VCP

With family members in Indonesia and Wisconsin, John and Mira decided on a intimate wedding in San Francisco as they were planning to travel later in the year for celebrations closer to their families. Having been together for two years, the couple decided on a City Hall civic ceremony in May to mark the beginning of their lifelong journey together. The choice of San Francisco held special significance for them, as it was the city where they first met and live.

The short and sweet ceremony on the fourth floor balcony was a heartfelt moment, with the couple surrounded by the city's stunning architecture and the memories of their time spent there. John’s parents and Mira’s sister both flew out to San Francisco to help celebrate the nupitals while Mira’s parents were able to video chat in via cellphone so they were a part of the City Hall ceremony.

Following the ceremony, John and Mira took some time for portraits around City Hall before heading over to the Mission District for more portraits around the neighborhood, including some photos in their camper van which they love taking around the country for outdoor adventures. The couple then joined their guests for cocktails and dinner at Penny Roma, a charming venue that added a touch of sophistication and intimacy to their celebration.
