Next up we have The Flood Mansion in San Francisco. Also, called the James Leary Flood Mansion. Don’t let their less than stellar web site fool you, this place is top notch. Every time we have been here, the food was outstanding, the decor incredible and the guests were in awe of such a beautiful place for a wedding. Contact Randy Sargeant for information on weddings at the Flood.












The Palm Event Center in Pleasanton is always a great place to shoot. Both the indoor spaces and the lovely grounds make for beautiful weddings and good times for guests. Located so far inland allows for those warm evenings that are so nice (and so sorely missed by those of us living in San Francisco). To top it off, the staff here is incredible!

There seem to be a few places where Lisa + I shoot frequently and also really love to work. So, I thought I’d make this page of some of our favorite venues.
Let’s start with one place that never fails to make for wonderful weddings and wonderful wedding photos, BR Cohn Winery in Glen Ellen. Recently, BR Cohn opened a new ceremony site, Fox Hill, right in the middle of their vineyards. Everywhere you look are rolling hills covered with vineyards! No where else is quite like it. Top that off with a reception in their olive grove and you have would be hard pressed to find an overall more beautiful winery setting for your wedding. Contact Paula Horasco for information.






That amazing lighting job in the above picture, as well as the one below, was done by Got-Light?

San Francisco City Hall is a beautiful place to be married, and it seems like we get more and more calls to photograph civil ceremonies there. Whether it be an elopement, a small family only ceremony followed by an intimate dinner or whatever, if you are not looking for a big elaborate wedding, this is your place. So, we’ve crafted a collection for just this type of wedding. Take a look at the slideshow below to see some pictures, the details of the collection are listed below.
The City Hall Collection:
Some location ideas for after (or before for that matter) your ceremony are Baker Beach, Presidio, Chrissy Field, Legion of Honor, James’ secret spots ;-) or anywhere else in San Francisco that you would like to go.
This package is limited to weekdays only! Coverage at just City Hall with no additional locations is available as well.
