San Francisco Civil wedding image showing This couple about to have a romantic and sweet wedding at the San Francisco City Hall

The romantic civil marriage of the couple was small and intimate as they walked up the steps of the ornate city hall, the groom with his arm around the bride's back, captured forever in a beautiful black and white image

This couple enjoyed a romantic and sweet wedding at the San Francisco City Hall. There were no fancy decorations, no crowds of guests. Instead, the only two things present were the love and joy between the couple—simple and sincere. The simple elegance of the day allowed the two to share an intimate and private day together, making their wedding all the more memorable. In addition to being Lilian and Yoav's photographer and having the opportunity to capture the most honest moments of their wedding, I am also honored to have served as the witness to their marriage.

Yoav puts his arm around Lilian’s back and carries her purse in his other hand as the two walk up the steps of the ornate city hall together.
