A stylish, SF wedding doesn't have to involve tens of thousands of dollars and hundreds of your nearest and dearest friends. No, in fact, City Hall is as picturesque and romantic as the rest. And yesterday's spur of the moment visit to the Beaux-Arts monument confirmed our beliefs: the weddings are thoughtful, intimate, and totally chic.
Emily Perello, the wedding photographer for our out-of-town couple, tells us that she received so many inquiries about getting married here that she wrote a guide. So it wasn't surprising that City Hall was abuzz with brides and grooms on a weekday late morning. We were especially smitten with these three newlywed couples and their distinct styles. Click through to see what they wore to say their "I Do's."
