Emily and Julia’s wedding took place under the rotunda in San Francisco’s City Hall. The marriers, who’ve been together since 2014, dressed to the nines in three-piece suits and beautiful handcrafted oxfords by a local shoe designer, Sutro Footwear.

From the couple:
We chose to have a private ceremony (our only witness was our photographer), and we were happy with how intimate the experience felt, even though we were in a public space.ย  We chose not to have a lot of the trappings of a traditional weddingโ€”bridesmaids, flowers, cake, band, and so onโ€”because we wanted to focus on each other, family, and friends.ย Immediately after the wedding, we celebrated over lunch with close family.ย  That weekend, we had a cocktail reception (about 60 guests) at Laszlo, a bar near our home.
