How the day works
Planning
Parking, neighborhood access, sound, room transitions, and the movement between ceremony, dinner, and dancing should be clear before the timeline is set.

Sausalito Woman's Club: planning notes from weddings we photographed.
A historic hillside clubhouse with a distinctive interior, surrounding trees, and a strong connection to Sausalito rather than a generic ballroom feeling.
The photographs and planning notes below come from a complete wedding we photographed here. Confirm current pricing, capacity, access, and policies directly with the venue.
What the photographs need
Light and movement
The architecture and changing window light give the day a recognizable visual language while the compact room keeps reactions and relationships close.

Before signing
Test Sausalito Woman's Club against the day guests will actually experience.
Trace the route from arrival through the ceremony, cocktails, dinner, and the end of the night. At Sausalito Woman's Club, the useful question is not simply whether each space looks good on its own, but whether people can move between them without long waits, unclear directions, lost belongings, or a transportation problem. The character of the place—a historic hillside clubhouse with a distinctive interior, surrounding trees, and a strong connection to sausalito rather than a generic ballroom feeling.—should remain part of the experience once the rooms are full.
Ask the current venue team about capacity by layout, sound and end times, rain or heat alternatives, accessibility, vendor access, parking or shuttles, power, rentals, and which spaces are included. Then walk the photography plan through the same route. InSausalito, available light and travel can change quickly; a strong plan protects the gathering first and uses the setting without turning the wedding into a tour of it.
- Confirm the current floor plan, capacity, and weather alternative
- Walk every guest and vendor transition in order
- Check sound, access, parking, rentals, power, and the real end time
- Keep portrait travel shorter than the social time it replaces
