Intimate City Hall Wedding + Del Popolo Restaurant Reception » San Francisco, California

Stephanie and Matt planned a sweet and small wedding in San Francisco for their close family who were all arriving from out of town. They chose to get ready at the Palace Hotel because one of Stephanie’s favorite movies, The Game was shot there. So after meeting the couple for a first look in the famous Garden Court, we made sure to take a few photos around the hotel before heading over to San Francisco City Hall. Their ceremony took place on the fourth floor balcony and a good friend of theirs officiated. After we spent some time with their portraits, Stephanie and Matt met up with their families to toast the occasion with some champagne on the sidewalk. A few hours later, I met back up with them at Del Popolo where the families had gathered for the reception. After some cocktails and appetizers in the beautifully rustic private dining room, Stephanie and Matt shared a few words of gratitude before settling in for their delicious celebratory dinner.
