Cypress Lawn and San Francisco City Hall Elopement | Renee + Jr
Renee and JR’s San Francisco elopement adventure was proof that you really don’t need a big guest list, a packed schedule or a whole lot of fuss to have an absolutely brilliant wedding day. Just the two of you, some very special moments, a couple of pretty spectacular locations and a whole lot of love.
The day started at Cypress Lawn, where Renee and JR exchanged private vows and spent some time hanging out together getting photos taken before the next part of the adventure. Cypress Lawn also has some seriously cool interiors, with beautiful stained glass, interesting architectural details and all sorts of lovely little features that make it such a unique place to photograph. We made the most of the surroundings for their vows and portraits before heading off for part two of the adventure – heading to San Francisco City Hall for the real deal legal ceremony shenanigans!
If you’ve ever stepped inside this place, you’ll know it’s a bit of a showstopper. The enormous dome, grand staircases, marble everywhere and all that ridiculously good architecture. After the quieter, more traditional surroundings of Cypress Lawn, City Hall was such a brilliant contrast. Two completely different architectural worlds, all within the same wedding day. Needless to say, we were pretty happy with the photo opportunities!
Renee and JR then made things official with their legal ceremony at City Hall, followed by more photos around the building. We wandered around, made the most of all those incredible architectural details and captured the two of them enjoying their newly married status.
If you’re planning your own elopement and looking for a San Francisco elopement photographer who loves a little adventure, interesting architecture and capturing the moments as they actually happen, you’ve come to the right place. Big wedding, tiny wedding, absolutely no guests whatsoever – we’re all for it. FOR REAL.
