SF City Hall and Alamo Square Wedding | Mayra & Felix

Elopements

Mayra and Felix met what I feel like is now considered the “old-fashioned way” – online. They both live and love San Francisco. And so, it was only natural that they would want to have an Alamo Square wedding. Since it is only down the street from the place they call home and in their favorite city!

Combining cultures is never easy and between the two of them they speak 3 languages. German, English, and Spanish. Both of their families came together to celebrate this special day when they signed their marriage license and had a city hall elopement among their closest friends and family. They plan on having a bigger wedding in Mexico later but still wanted to document and celebrate this next chapter right from the beginning.

Civil ceremony at San Francisco City Hall are always short and sweet. But, we definitely try to make the most of our time there. Mayra and Felix wanted some quick photos around city hall before heading over to their Alamo Square wedding. So, that’s exactly what we did.

Thankfully, the Justice of the Peace was very kind and let this whole group watch the civil ceremony. If you don’t already know civil ceremonies at San Francisco City Hall really only allow 6 people including your photographer. So, if you have a bigger group I would definitely recommend booking a hour ceremony to prevent any stress. Or having to pick the 6 people on the spot.

Alamo Square is most notably known for having the Painted Ladies. The Painted Ladies are more informally known as the Full House houses. And I recently even saw that the owner of the blue house offers daily tours every hour on the hour. So, maybe next time you’re in town don’t be afraid to check it out! Blue Painted Lady House Tour
