Elegance Above the Bay: A Wedding at San Francisco’s Flood Mansion
Perched atop Pacific Heights, the James Leary Flood Mansion isn’t just a venue; it’s a time capsule of Gilded Age opulence. As a photographer, walking through those massive bronze doors feels like stepping into a masterpiece. Recently, I had the honor of capturing a wedding here that perfectly balanced the venue’s historic grandeur with the modern, vibrant energy of the couple.

Why Flood Mansion Shines
For couples looking for a venue that requires very little “extra” decor, the Flood Mansion is it. Its architecture is the decor. For me, it provided:
- Versatility: Seamless transitions from indoor elegance to outdoor vistas.
- Character: Every corner tells a story, from the hand-painted murals to the intricate coffered ceilings.
- Iconic Views: It captures the “soul” of San Francisco without the noise of the city streets.
Every moment felt like a scene from a dream.

My Final Thoughts
This wedding was a reminder of why I love what I do. It’s about more than just the location; it’s about how a space makes a couple feel. At the Flood Mansion, they felt like part of San Francisco’s storied history.
