The story
We get to shoot a number of destination elopements right from home, and the couple were one of those special adventurous couples. They flew from London to get married in our picturesque San Francisco City Hall and then proceeded to take a honeymoon road trip around the West Coast.
In their own place
What made this one specific.
They had decided to wear these vintage outfits, and all day they were talking about The Man in the High Castle, a sci-fi story that takes place in a dystopian version of San Francisco. We must have started channeling Phillip K. Dick because everything came together for this unique and super elopement. A mysterious quirky vibe about this couple made it clear to us that they are secret agents — or maybe time travelers.
The complete sequence
A real story needs the parts between the portraits.
This city hall elopement in San Francisco City Hall is shown as a sequence: the people arriving, the setting taking shape, the ceremony, the reactions around it, and the way the celebration changed afterward. The photographs stay together so the day reads as more than a short highlight reel.
