The grand staircase is a beautiful wedding photography location in the late afternoon especially if there aren’t too many people milling around. To add to the drama of this shot, we back-lit Laura and Robert with a speed light. Notice the natural golden highlights on the stairs themselves. The staircase at City Hall is probably one of the top indoor locations for wedding photography in San Francisco. The same couple is pictured below with Laura in front of city hall’s 3rd floor window illuminated by beautiful natural light. We also used an umbrella flash to fill in some of the shadows.
