SF City Hall Wedding | San Francisco Wedding Photographer

I-Wen and Calvin's San Francisco City Hall wedding was everything I love about intimate celebrations—quiet, intentional, and deeply felt.
The way they held hands throughout the ceremony, sharing warmth. The way his hand naturally found her waist, a gentle reassurance that he was right there with her. The pure excitement of exchanging rings and calling each other husband and wife for the first time.
When I photograph couples, most of my guidance centers on their connection to each other, not the camera. I'll ask a groom to look at his bride instead of at me, or encourage couples to simply exist together rather than pose. It's one of the simplest ways to capture something real—moments that feel genuine because they are.
This is how the act of taking photos becomes part of the memory itself, not just documentation of it. I-Wen and Calvin weren't performing for the camera; they were fully present with each other, and that's exactly what you'll see in their gallery.
