RELAX KNOWING
YOUR City hall wedding memories ARE IN GOOD HANDS
San francisco city hall wedding expert photography and planning team
City Hall is Our second home - and every wedding there is special
The beauty of a traditional wedding with the ease of an elopement
CONGRATULATIONS on your upcoming wedding! We are so excited for you. Seriously. I get so so so excited on your wedding day like it’s my chance to relive my own wedding day.
City hall has become one of our favorite venues - my associates and I are there at least 1-6 times a week for weddings! It’s timeless and opulent, but offers the flexibility to create the day that you’ve always dreamed of.
To provide the most value, we serve as not only your photographer, but as your guide to City Hall, wedding planner, and confidant. We are here for you to introduce you to the officiants if they walk past us in the hallway (they are all amazing!), and guide you to where to go when you arrive. It's truly my home-office away from home-office - can't wait to show you around!

The outcome was exceptional and we’re beyond happy with our wedding photos
We owe Emily a huge debt of gratitude! The outcome was exceptional and we're beyond happy with our wedding photos, but Emily also went way above and beyond to make our wedding day a success, we honestly could not have done it without her! I really appreciate her professionalism, flexibility, and willingness to do whatever it takes to make our wedding day and photos as special and amazing as possible. We're so happy we found Emily and you will be too!

package details
Your wedding will be one for the books
Our one and only package is perfect for couples that want every moment of their special time at city hall captured - for as little or as long as you will like!
After photographing many city hall weddings, we realized that it's not appropriate to put a time to your wedding coverage there. Some couples are happily done with photos in an hour, some want to take photos for hours. We don't want to lock you in either way. We are flexible - and will guide you through the process and photos, until you feel you got what you needed.
Every Start-to-Finish City Hall Package Includes:
- Complete coverage to capture your arrival, check-in, ceremony, and post-ceremony photos both inside and outside City Hall (approximately 1.5-2 hours total time with active photo taking time in the building on average 30-60 minutes).
- Unlimited pre- and post-ceremony consultations via phone, text, DM, or in person to help you with prep, answer your questions, and more!
- Sneak peek delivery within 24-72 hours of your wedding.
- Full gallery delivery within 2-3 weeks of your wedding.
- Access to my resident Client Happiness Manager to make sure that you’re well taken care of throughout the process.
- Professionally-edited, high-resolution images.
- Full printing rights with unlimited downloads.

Emily is amazing! You will not regret booking with her
We booked her to shoot our small wedding at SFO City Hall. It was a relatively dark and rainy day, but the photos still came out beautifully. Every aspect of dealing with Emily is great: communication (she is super fast!), photo quality, payment, and she even goes above and beyond to help with other vendor suggestions. Couldn’t be happier!

LIFE AS AN ATTORNEY DIDN’T FILL MY CUP
meet emily jenks
Hi, I’m Emily - an attorney-turned-photographer who’s passionate about preserving snapshots from people’s lives. I strayed from my previously-chosen career path after realizing that I wasn’t feeling fulfilled. Long story short, my sweet husband signed me up for a photography class and it was one of my favorite days. I loved everything about the art of taking photos. After a few months of practice I knew that I had found my second career. I’m dedicated to capturing every little detail from your most-loved memories, and I’m so honored to be a part of your journey.
She captured us so perfectly
We had the MOST amazing experience with Emily. Everything was very clearly communicated and she was so quick getting us our pictures of our city hall wedding. She captured us so perfectly and created such beautiful photos. I can't say enough good things about her and her work!

Are you ready to see your vision come to life?
Photographing couples getting married at San Francisco’s City Hall is one of my absolutely favorite things to do! I honestly wished that I got married there, and it’s such a special occasion every time. As much as I am there (I am there 1-6 times a week!), every couple has a different story, and I love to learn about them, and bring their personality out in the photographs.
I can't wait to work with you!
