David & Michelle’s Mayor’s Balcony Wedding at San Francisco City Hall
David and Michelle got married on July 14, 2026, at the Mayor’s Balcony at San Francisco City Hall, surrounded by their family and friends.
Before the ceremony, we spent time exploring City Hall together: the grand staircase, a gold elevator, the arched hallways and the light through the tall windows.
Afterward, they stepped out under the City Hall sign to celebrate, sunglasses on. The day was photographed on both film and digital.
