Capturing Authentic Love Stories in San Francisco & Beyond

I’m a San Francisco–based wedding photographer specializing in fine art and editorial wedding photography, with extensive experience photographing San Francisco City Hall weddings, Bay Area celebrations, and destination weddings in Napa and Sonoma.

Couples often find me by searching for a San Francisco City Hall wedding photographer or a fine art wedding photographer in San Francisco, and I’m honored to document these once-in-a-lifetime moments.

Welcome to SMMProduction, a premier San Francisco wedding photographer dedicated to crafting timeless, heartfelt images of your most cherished day. My name is Roy, and I believe your wedding photos should be more than just pictures; they should be a collection of authentic, emotional moments that tell the unique story of your love.

Based in the heart of San Francisco, California, I specialize in a blend of fine art and photojournalistic wedding photography. This means I focus on capturing the day as it naturally unfolds—the laughter, the tears, the stolen glances—while also creating beautifully composed, artful portraits that feel both elegant and true to you. Whether you're planning an iconic SF City Hall wedding, a romantic celebration in the vineyards of Northern California, or an intimate gathering anywhere in the Bay Area, my mission is to provide a seamless, joyful experience and a gallery of memories you will treasure for a lifetime.

San Francisco City Hall Wedding Photographer

San Francisco City Hall weddings require a photographer who understands the flow, lighting, permits, and timing of civil ceremonies. I’ve photographed City Hall weddings ranging from intimate elopements to full-day celebrations, capturing elegant portraits on the Grand Staircase, Fourth Floor Gallery, and surrounding civic architecture.

Your Wedding Day, Captured with Artistry & Care

You've spent months planning every detail, and your wedding photography should reflect that care and intention. My approach is centered on connection—getting to know you as a couple so I can capture the "in-between moments" that truly define your relationship.

Many couples tell me they feel awkward in front of the camera, and my goal is to make you forget it's even there. I provide gentle guidance to ensure you look your best, but I prioritize creating a relaxed space where you can be yourselves. The result is a gallery filled with candid wedding moments and natural portraits that radiate genuine emotion. From the quiet anticipation while getting ready to the energy of the dance floor, I document the complete narrative of your day with a creative and unobtrusive eye.
