Marin County Civic Center Wedding Photographer

weddings & elopements in an iconic frank lloyd wright building

I'm Annalee, a documentary wedding photographer based in San Francisco, shooting on film and digital. The Marin County Civic Center is one of my favorite places in the Bay Area to photograph elopements and intimate weddings. It's one of Frank Lloyd Wright's final masterworks, with super cool skylit atriums, indoor gardens, and an unmistakable blue roof.


why i love photographing weddings at the marin county civic center

I'm a little obsessed with Frank Lloyd Wright buildings. I've photographed at the Buehler Estate, one of his Usonian homes, and put together a roundup of my favorite Frank Lloyd Wright wedding venues. The Civic Center is the crown jewel of them for elopements: the circular motifs, the light pouring through the glass roof, the indoor gardens tucked between the arches. It's intimate, affordable, and endlessly photogenic; perfect for all mid-century modern design lovers.

my approach

film + digital, documentary at heart


To me, photography is about telling love stories with warmth and honesty. You deserve to look back on your wedding and remember how the day felt. My approach is photojournalistic — a promise to stay deeply present through every moment and document it with honesty. Together we'll make images that hold your most treasured memories in a way that feels joyful and real.
