Jo and Jason - San Francisco City Hall Civil Ceremony, San Francisco, CA

Although Jo and Jason will be celebrating their "real" wedding later this month, they opted to have a much smaller civil ceremony beforehand with just their families present at city hall. Let me just say that I LOVED photographing this day! Not having all of the fanfare such as the flowers, the toasts, and the DJ, this day really focused on quite simply, the union of two people who love each other. Don't get me wrong though, I love full blown weddings also! But the simplicity of this day was really touching for me. Starting with the anticipation of getting their "number" called to see the judge, to the enjoyment of a simple take out lunch to soak in the day, and finally to the laughter heard at their family tea ceremony, I feel truly blessed to have been there. Congrats Jo and Jason!
