This was the first image capture of the day on Melody and my May 15, 2014 wedding day. My sister Mary came to my home a couple hours before she, Anita, Melody, and I were to leave for San Francisco City Hall. Chris and Mark were driving there separately. By the time we had left the house, the kitchen table was decorated with champagne glasses for the sparkling cider, my later sister Carol's hand knitted table cloth, a 40 year old wedding cake topper from my sister's china cabinet, and this simple flower arrangement in my mother Louise's favorite vase. In reaction to a suggest, I took the vase with flowers outside to capture this image - the first of my two wedding shots of the day (this and the group photo before we all went our separate ways again). It was the beginning of a most happy and memorable day.

Photo of Melody and me on the San Francisco City Hall steps - Polk Street side. It was the second photo of the day on our wedding day May 15, 2014 and the first at City Hall. As you can see by our dark glasses is was bright and sunny - AND - though you can't see, VERY Hot. It was the beginning of a wonderful hour and one half during the City Hall marriage experience. Photo by our friend Mark Watt using my Canon Powershot SX50.

Getting married through San Francisco City Hall is not a spur of the moment event. It takes scheduling a date and time to obtain a marriage license that can be used most anywhere within 90 days and, if you want a ceremony in San Francisco City Hall, a scheduled time and date for that. We made both for the same day we had planned.
In this image, Melody and Charlie are standing at the main counter in the County Clerk's office at San Francisco's City Hall. The first time we had been there was nearly a couple of months before our planned wedding day of May 15, 2014. Here were are obtaining our marriage license more than one half hour before our scheduled time for the marriage ceremony some 40 minutes later. Photo by friend Mark Watt using Charlie's Canon Powershot SX50 camera.

Melody's and my friend Chris captured this image of her sitting on a bench outside the County Clerk's office in San Francisco's City Hall. Melody liked this photo because it showed off the dress she made for the occasion of our wedding on May 15, 2014.

Melody and I sitting on a bench in the hallway leading to the San Francisco County Clerk's office in City Hall. We had procured our marriage license 45 minutes earlier eager for the next appointment with the Deputy Marriage Commissioner. Waiting is part of the game at City Hall. But all was on schedule and we knew in advance what to expect. Besides, everyone was HAPPY. One of our witnesses, Chris Fidel, captured this image on his iPhone S4. Melody liked this photo because it gave a chance to show off her outfit that she had made especially for her Wedding Day.
