Melissa and Daniel are beautiful, kind, humble, and thoughtful people. When Melissa reached out about their San Francisco City Hall elopement, she shared so many fun details about her relationship with Daniel. They know that they are going to have a destination wedding – some day – but with the current environment, they know that life is short, and they wanted to have a civil ceremony to officially tie the knot. When Melissa was searching for city hall wedding inspiration, she stumbled upon San Francisco City Hall and knew this was the spot for them – despite the fact that they live in Florida. She texted Daniel a photo and it was a done deal. They decided to book tickets out west and elope! The cherry on top is that Melissa and Daniel love to travel. Every year they go to a new spot together and they keep a map in their house with pins indicating where they’ve been (we have one of those too!). So, San Francisco was a new spot for their map – and an incredible backdrop for their wedding.

Daniel and Melissa were neighbors in their apartment complex. Melissa moved in and they quickly began talking. It didn’t take long for their relationship to bloom. Now, these newlyweds are packing up their bags and moving to Ohio for a new job opportunity. Exciting times!

I adored photographing Daniel and Melissa at San Francisco City Hall. They looked so beautiful together and had amazing chemistry. I also had the privilege of being their witness, which is so special.

Melissa and Daniel, congratulations! I hope you continue to explore and adventure together! Your diverse backgrounds have given you a strong perspective and so much to be thankful for. I wish you two the best and I’m so thankful that I was able to play a small part in your story. I hope your transition to Ohio is smooth and you enjoy this next chapter!
