Looking for somewhere that feels romantic/traditional/layered for ~200 guests Fall 2027 with a relatively flex budget. Best case scenario is in SF or shortly outside, though would be open to a really great multi day venue a couple of hours away too. I love Flood Mansion in SF but am not confident we can get our guest count low enough. Do not want anything that feels industrial/beachy/sleek modern. Thank you!!!

Hey everyone! We are getting married at city hall next August and I’m trying to choose between an afternoon ceremony in the Mayors Balcony or the 4th Floor. Does anyone have any recommendations based on their experience? I’m wondering about lighting in the afternoons.

If you got married there or have photographed there - would you also share pics?

We're looking to get some photos taken at Marin Civic Center and then in some woods nearby, for about 1-1.5 hours total on Oct 15. Would appreciate any recommendations for photographers that could fit for our budget.

Hi! I’m getting married in SF next August. We are DIYing florals to save money. The only problem is, I don’t know how to get the flowers from my house (in Emeryville) to our venue (in SF). We have a coordinator who will set everything up at the venue, but not transport to the venue.

The venue has a strict rule that we can’t drop off anything in the morning (it’s a public place that we are renting after they close). We’ll be taking pictures between leaving home and getting to the venue and I don’t want to risk leaving the flowers in a hot car for a few hours. And my family and bridal party will be needed for the photos so I can’t ask them to drop off everything either.

So basically I’m looking to hire someone with a large car or van to transport the flowers to the venue at a specific time (ideally with AC blasting if it’s a hot day). I don’t even know how or where to search for someone to do this? Taskrabbit?

Or if anyone knows someone who can do this kind of thing, please share their info!

Hey everyone! My fiance and I have been looking for a cinematic&editorial photographer who is more into prompts than poses and works with a moodier lighting palette.

Symboll seems like they could be a good fit, but I'm having a hard time getting my questions answered and I don't love that I can't talk with their photographers before booking. We have some pretty specific requirements because I'm fighting significant health struggles, and both of us are trans.

I'm curious if anyone has experience with Symboll? Did you have issue with getting questions answered? Is there a way to see their photographers before buying your way into the portal? Have you hired them for a queer/gnc wedding? Thanks!

Also open to recommendations.

Our goal is October 2027 in Berkeley/Oakland. It'll be an extended ceremony, 30 or less people, maybe 4-5 hours of photos. We want cinematic and editorial with moody color edits. Someone who can help bring out the beauty, decadence, and playfulness of the relationship in photos.

Due to my health struggles and the current ongoing medical costs, our wedding budget is pretty constrained. Symboll's five hour photo package (~$3.5K) is pushing it but if it's the style we want and the photographers are considerate, affirming, and excited about a queer trans, multi-cultural wedding and accommodating someone with fluctuating energy, then we would consider it worth it.

These two photographers are our main reference points: https://www.instagram.com/photosbygowtham https://www.instagram.com/bymoevai
