David & Ronee’s July San Francisco City Hall wedding began with them getting ready at the St. Regis. As the string quartet welcome guests to the Mayor’s Balcony, Ronee waited eagerly around the bend to join David for their ceremony. It was one of the hottest days in San Francisco. We took all over the city to gather as much cityscape images as we could and eventually headed to the venue to partake in their tea ceremony. As guests gathered at Quince Restaurant for cocktail hour the entire block lost power, possibly from the overuse of air conditioning that San Francisco isn’t accustomed to. The staff at Quince didn’t miss a beat. They were still able to complete the courses on their gas stoves and doubled, maybe even tripled, the amount of candles at each table. Guests used their phones as supplemental lighting for an interactive game during dinner and overall, it made for a very memorial dinner experience.
