SF Cityhall Wedding ｜ Warmicy & Bonnie

"Mr. Qian Zhongshu eloquently compared marriage to a fortress in his work 'Fortress Besieged,' noting the desire of those outside to enter and those inside to exit. Previously, I harbored fears, anxieties, and uncertainties about marriage. However, today, embracing a sense of calm and anticipation, I willingly step into the fortress of marriage with you. It's not my bravery that guides me, but rather your love and unwavering commitment, providing me with the courage to pursue happiness." - Bonnie

"At this momentous juncture, we are poised to elevate our love to the realm of marriage. While our understanding of this institution may still be evolving, I am profoundly grateful, dear, for your willingness to navigate this journey with me." - Warmicy

Listening to their heartfelt vows, I found myself deeply moved by their story—a testament to their enduring love through seven years of navigating the challenges of a long-distance relationship. Now, basking in the sweetness of their union, they fondly reflect on the storms weathered together, evoking tears of joy.

Capturing the ceremony for this erudite and refined couple, both graduates of Harvard University and the University of Southern California, was a stroke of luck. The day unfolded under exceptionally beautiful sunlight, capturing a magical moment at City Hall. The bride, Bonnie, donned in a white gown, gracefully danced in the backlight, creating a mesmerizing tableau.

Special thanks to Warmicy and Bonnie for their trust and choosing us. From the meticulous pre-event preparations to the conclusion of the shoot, the entire process was a joyous experience.

旧金山市政厅仪式ceremony该注意些什么？专业摄影师教你如何避开一些雷区～

作为一生一次极其重要而神圣的ceremony，每位新人都渴望能够牵着心爱的ta的手，步入幸福的婚姻殿堂，顺便留下一组不留遗憾的结婚美照。作为湾区的一名专业婚礼摄影师，我总结了过去多年拍过的新人中比较容易犯的小mistakes，提供了一些good examples 和bad examples和注意事项，希望可以帮到更多的新人朋友。😊

1.新郎和新娘应该怎么站？

首先，新人的站法非常重要，因为这个贯穿了整个ceremony的拍摄效果。如果Vivi是您的摄影师，首先，请女生最好站在靠近电梯的一侧（因为摄影师的灯光是照顾女生而提前设置好的，背对着电梯，男生面对着电梯一侧。

站好后，迅速整理好新娘的裙摆，如果新娘的裙摆比较大，请整理好后，整个ceremony避免动作太大，裙摆会乱，影响出片效果。

2. 两个人站的距离最好不要太远

上面的图1的距离是比较合适的，避免像以下图2和图3那样，两个人站的太远。

图2 错误演示

图3 错误演示

（因为站的太远，新娘的手会绷得很直。显得身体动作比较僵硬）

3. 牵手的时候，最好是男生的手主动托起女生的手

图4 正确演示 女生主动握住男生手，不算错误演示，但不是最理想^^;;

4.   交换戒指的时候 

1)注意戴戒指动作要慢，因为ceremony的那个地方，一般光线偏暗，很多摄影师都需要打灯补光，闪光灯需要recycle的时间，如果太快带进去，可能导致有些画面，闪光灯还没亮，照片黑掉。

2)注意手指尽量避免挡住对方的戒指。

图5 错误演示

正确的作法：最好是拇指和食指端起戒指的时候，将戒指方向对着镜头。

图6 正确演示

3）左手托住对方的手的时候，注意将对方的中指和无名指放在一起，避免中指对着对方。用右手给对方戴戒指。 将戒指戴在对方的左手无名指上。

图7 正确演示

 *避免中指对着对方

4）注意对方的求婚戒指钻石在关节的中间，两边等距，最好是和关节线平行，慢慢带进去，尽量不要歪向一侧。

图6 错误演示 戒指没有和关节平行 正确演示 戒指的两等距，两个戒指对着镜头，清晰可见

5. 最后，牧师会宣布你们是合法夫妻，并说你们可以亲亲，注意，亲亲的时候，两个人互相拥抱之后，最好都闭上眼睛，不要嘟嘴或者接吻的过于深入（如舌吻等。。。）

虽然是个短短几分钟的ceremony，却是人生中极其重要的一个瞬间。大家都是第一次结婚，难免会紧张和缺乏经验，这都非常正常！No worries，希望这篇日志可以帮大家减少失误，顺利收获不留遗憾的婚礼照片。✌️

婚纱照圣地：旧金山政厅Cityhall｜2021年预约指南

2021年San Francisco Cityhall旧金山市政厅结婚仪式

💒旧金山市政厅无疑是全美国最适合拍婚纱照的打卡圣地之一。无数的爱情故事被见证，各种经典婚纱照在这里诞生。

🏆我也有幸在这里和新人们创作出一系列获奖作品！在这个绝美的宫殿式建筑里记录下两颗心永久的缔结，动情的瞬间，满满美好的回忆！

去年因为疫情的原因，市政厅不得不关闭。这让许多想在这里拍婚纱照和举办婚礼的妹子非常的失落。

💃等了一年半多，终于迎来重开的好消息，让人特别兴奋！

以下是官方公布的最新消息：（https://sfgov.org/countyclerk/marriage-license-and-civilcommitment-ceremony-online-reservations）

以下是Vivi根据实际的拍摄经验和大家分享几点小贴士，希望能帮助到更多备婚的宝宝们。

⏰ 开放时间：今年6月7日

Mon-Fri （8:00am - 5:00 pm）

⛪️领证申请预约：6月7日起 （9：00am - 1:00pm）

💍ceremony 预约：6月9日起（9：00am - 1:00pm）

⚠️注意事项：人数最多不超过6人（包括摄影师/录像师）如果人数超过则需另外申请。

📝Vivi小贴士-和以往不同的是，领证和仪式的时间是9:00am-1:00pm。但是实际上Cityhall是8点到5点开门。 10:30 - 12:30 这两个小时是游客最多的时候。所以如果大家想拍到空旷无路人甲的大楼梯的话，不妨选择8-9:30之间拍大楼梯（一般新娘化妆需要2-3小时，估计得很早起来。😅）或者是下午2:30-5:00之间拍。）

另外周一和周五的visitors也会相对较多。

❓领证拍摄流程是什么？

答案：领证时，带好护照/驾照（ID）去一楼的Room168。比预约时间提早几分钟在门口排队，进去后，填写Public or Confidential Marriage Application Form。

168 门口

在168报道

准备举手宣誓

📝Vivi小贴士-

以前领证的时候可以拍照的，现在已经明确规定领证的时候不可以在办公室里面拍摄。填了表，出来的时候，会给一个编号，然后在门外看电视屏幕等待叫号，轮到领证就完满结束了。这下就可以去不同的楼层拍婚纱照了。

排队等叫号

❓仪式具体地点选哪里？

牧师一般会问希望在哪里举行仪式。一个是public的Rotunda，一个是private的小房间。（一般大家都会选择后者，那个小房间真的超级没有结婚feel。😂）

牧师会问新人想要在哪个地方进行Ceremony，左边是比较隐蔽的小屋子，右边是public的圆厅（右边👉）

绝大部分新人都会选择这个public～ 更美更有结婚feel～嘻嘻

📝Vivi小贴士：领证和仪式之外的时间，就可以拍拍四楼的大圆窗、三楼的小花窗、大楼梯、大门，小树等等。

❓经常有人问：“那我们不去领证和举行仪式，能不能拍照哇？”

答案：可以！即便不在这里结婚，也可以免费借景拍摄。

❓如果我们没领证，可以直接约Cityhall的ceremony吗？

答案：不可以！一定要先领过license才能举行ceremony.

❓拍照的时候一定要戴口罩吗？

答案：进门过安检的时候还有领证（还有排队）的时候一定要戴口罩。但是举行Ceremony的时候没有强制要戴口罩，但是牧师一定会带好口罩。（又看到有些couple选择戴口罩，有些couple没有戴口罩）然后在其他不同楼层拍照的时候，见到不少couple都没有带口罩，感觉Cityhall对结婚的新人还是相对比较宽容。（这里不是鼓励所有人不要戴口罩，为了保护自己和保护他人，除了新人以外的朋友们还是尽量保持戴口罩吧，促进这个疫情早日结束。）

❓我应该穿什么风格的婚纱来搭配？

高贵典雅的建筑设计，不管豪华宫廷风的大拖尾还是简约优雅的轻纱/小白裙都能自信出片。一般建议拍大楼梯的时候穿大裙摆的婚纱拍大气端庄的感觉，三楼，四楼这种自然光比较充足的地方，可以搭配小白裙，拍清新优雅风格。
