San Francisco is a city where architecture and coastline meet, and this elopement lets you soak in both sides of its beauty. Golden Gate Promises begins with your ceremony beneath the iconic rotunda of the Palace of Fine Arts, where soaring columns and timeless arches create a cinematic backdrop for your vows. With soft light filtering through the dome, it feels both intimate and grand, a perfect place to anchor your day.
From there, we’ll head west to the Batteries to Bluffs Trail, a short but dramatic coastal path that winds along cliffs with sweeping Golden Gate views. Along the way, we’ll pause for portraits at a mix of iconic city landmarks and secret corners that show off San Francisco’s layered charm.
We’ll finish the day at Lands End, where wind-sculpted cypress trees stand tall against the sea. Here, as the sun drifts toward the horizon, we’ll capture golden-hour portraits that feel both iconic and deeply personal. Barefoot on the sand (yes, the beach is right there) or swept up in the ocean breeze on the cliffs, this closing chapter is the perfect coastal exhale to your San Francisco elopement story.
