An Interracial City Hall Micro Wedding in San Francisco
Renee & BryanOctober 2025San Francisco City Hall · San Francisco
An interracial City Hall micro wedding brought Renee and Bryan's two families under one dome at San Francisco City Hall in October 2025 — the marble staircase, the arched corridors, a violinist, and a rooftop table to close the night. The morning was slow and close, both of them getting ready before the building filled with light.
They said their vows on the grand staircase, gathered both sides for photographs through the galleries, then went up for rooftop portraits and on to a reception that ran late.

Morning
Getting Ready Before the City Hall Wedding
Renee got ready in a hotel room in a white satin robe and heart-print pajama pants, a stylist from Artrecia Nicole Beauty working her makeup by the round glow of a ring light, her hair pinned up in sections. Her people were around her — a cousin doing her own makeup at the bathroom mirror, the room quiet and unhurried.
Her bouquet set the palette for the whole day: a deep autumn gather of burgundy dahlias, rust and peach roses, orange blooms, dried accents, and eucalyptus, all from Vanda Floral Design. Bryan dressed in a navy tuxedo with a black shawl lapel, a black bow tie, and a burgundy boutonniere to match her flowers.
Afternoon
Vows on the Grand Staircase at City Hall
They did a first look before the ceremony. Bryan waited in a wide marble corridor while Renee came up behind him — her off-shoulder lace mermaid gown and long veil, the bouquet at her side. He turned to see her, then held her close against the stone. Then it was the grand staircase, the sweep of marble under the coffered dome, both families gathered on the steps and along the chairs at the foot of it.
