Gillian and Ben chose Strawberry Hill in Golden Gate Park for their intimate elopement. This spot is a hidden gem in San Francisco. The view is breathtaking and the atmosphere is magical. They wanted a day filled with love, family, and beautiful moments.

The weather in San Francisco can change quickly. On their special day, we enjoyed both sunshine and cloudy skies. This made the scenery even more unique. The warm sun peeked through the clouds, creating a perfect backdrop for their romantic celebration.

With their closest family members by their side, Gillian and Ben exchanged vows surrounded by nature. Each smile and tear was captured in a way that felt true and candid. The love between them shone brightly in every moment.

Using a mix of film and digital photography, I aimed to create a whimsical feel. Film adds softness and warmth, while digital captures sharp detail. Together, they tell a rich story of their elopement day.

Every photo reflects their love and the beauty of Strawberry Hill. The trees swayed gently in the breeze, framing their laughter and joy. Each click of the camera captured another precious memory.

The moments shared among family were as special as the couple’s vows. The connection between them was evident, every glance and gesture showing their deep bond. The California sun set softly, adding a warm glow to their photos.

In the end, the day was about love and celebration, surrounded by nature. Gillian and Ben’s elopement at Strawberry Hill was a beautiful example of how love can flourish in even the simplest moments. The photos will be cherished, a timeless reminder of this happy day.
