The vast space inside City Hall was largely empty, so we could take photos at our leisure without tourists and other bridal parties getting in our way (for the most part at least). We were also able to choose where inside City Hall we wanted the ceremony to take place--we chose the Mayor's Balcony because of the gorgeous view! We were offered the opportunity to move up the ceremony time to immediately after Kumiko and Bradley received their marriage license, which worked out extremely well, allowing us to have a more continuous and stress-free bridal session following the ceremony.
We did have one amusing mishap--it is amusing to us now, though it wasn't quite so amusing then--when Kumiko and Bradley's duffle bag with a change of clothes, jewelry and a few other valuable items mysteriously disappeared in the middle of our bridal session. The newlyweds had several sweat-breaking stressful minutes trying to locate the bag, which they were starting to think had been stolen, when it came out that City Hall security picked it up. It turns out, they remove any "suspicious-looking" bags, for security purposes. Good to know.
And now, on to the photos:

Not to waste any time, we took a few photos by the Office of the County Clerk, while we were waiting for our marriage license appointment.

And here they are at the appointment.

I really like this detail shot of Kumiko's earring through the veil and with her bouquet visible in the background.

Until next time!
