I swear to you, San Francisco City Hall could possibly be one of my favorite venues of all time. I know that’s a big statement, but I stand by it. Because not only is it absolutely stunning, it seems to attract equally stunning couples like these two cuties below. Their elopement captured by Jasmine Lee Photography is one for the books, and is yet another reason why I’ll always adore city hall elopements.

From The Bride…For our wedding day, Devin and I wanted to emulate the two most important things to both of us: each other and our families. Surrounded by our closest family and friends, we exchanged vows in a small, intimate ceremony at San Francisco City Hall. The afternoon light gleamed brightly through the ceiling of the Rotunda and lit up the ceremony with the perfect sparkle. In addition to the profound elegance of City Hall, our desire for romantic simplicity was satisfied beyond expectation. A few special touches that embellished our wedding day included my traditional lace gown, my glowing groom, my flawless bouquet, and my brilliant photographer. Jasmine captured every moment of our special day thanks to her extraordinary talent behind the camera. She was even able to personalize photos for Devin and I that I had been inspired by on Pinterest.

My bouquet added the perfect touch to our pictures. Because I am not from the San Francisco area, I relied on an emailed photograph of my desired bouquet that I had found on Pinterest to the florist at Not Just Flowers. When the bouquet arrived at my hotel the morning of the wedding, I was astonished at how perfect it was. The huge, pale-pink Dahlias and warm burgundy astilbe gave the bouquet the delicate look I was going for. Because Devin and I wanted the day to be romantic, we wanted our pictures to reflect that. We chose Baker Beach as our second location for photographs so that we could capture the beauty of the ocean and the Golden Gate Bridge in our photos. We were a bit nervous because of the gusty winds that day, but to our amazement, Jasmine worked her magic and captured extraordinary photos that the wind ended up complimenting. When we received our photographs, we were in awe. Everything about our wedding day was exactly how we dreamed of it to be: romantic, sweet, simple, and surrounded by those who are closest to our hearts.
