Manali is a very talented and thoughtful photographer. Our wedding was held at San Francisco City Hall and she was able to beautifully capture both posed and candid shots, along with all the details of the amazing building.

Let's keep it natural, candid + easy.
NOT CHEESY.
wedding photography coverage
All San Francisco City Hall wedding packages include support to help you plan your perfect day. I offer recommendations for other vendors, and pre-planning help, though the thing that clients rave the most about is the gentle and expert guidance they receive every step of the way at City Hall.
I’ll tell you where to go, when it’s time for your witness to sign your license, and how to find the place in city hall that the judge has designated for your ceremony. No matter what type of ceremony you plan, I have the expertise to help. And if you want to take portraits at a second beautiful location in the city, I’ll help you plan that too.
After the wedding, you receive a gallery full of color-perfected and print-ready photos in Manali's artistic editing style. The gallery is convenient for sharing with friends and family. High resolution photos are included in the coverage price and are yours to keep forever.
Hello, my name is Manali. I have been photographing San Francisco City Hall weddings regularly for over 12 years. You are getting married because you are in love, so let’s celebrate the special way you laugh together.
I use easy prompts and simple poses to let couples focus on how happy they are to marry their best friend while I get photos of the fun. Don’t worry about being put into awkward poses, I know that’s not what you are looking for. I’m here to celebrate the genuine good times with you and to make the process of getting married at San Francisco City Hall as easy as can be.
Wondering if we’re a perfect match? Here are four reasons why I may be perfect for you!
1
Yes, your San Francisco City Hall wedding ceremony may be short...
But what you might not expect is the rush of excitement that follows. It’s real, it’s beautiful, and it often catches couples by surprise.
No need to worry about posing. I’ll guide you with easy, natural prompts so you can simply focus on each other. Your love story is already filled with joyful, intimate, and playful moments—that’s more than enough.

Your love story is special, and I want to celebrate it with you
Let’s celebrate your connection with the breathtaking architecture of San Francisco City Hall as your backdrop. Every aspect—from the grand staircase to the golden light on the 4th floor—sets the stage for gorgeous photos you will cherish.
3
I celebrate love in all its forms.
Many of my clients are in mixed-race relationships, are queer, or come from different cultural backgrounds.
Let me be clear: I welcome and respect every couple, regardless of race, religion, sexual orientation, gender identity, or country of origin.
Love is love—I truly believe that.
