Locations in San Francisco for good wedding photos?

My partner and I are getting married in San Francisco on July 10th. We're eloping (we live in NC) and having a civil ceremony. My partner's father is a photographer and he's coming with us. We don't know the area that well and are looking for locations where we can get some beautiful wedding photos around the city. Anyone have any suggestions?

How about Alcatraz Island? It would definitely be something different!
City Hall rotunda Legion of Honor Museum at entry or near fountain Golden Gate Park (grassy area near trees or lake etc.) The Presidio (Lincoln Blvd. to Crissy Field or someplace with view of Golden Gate Bridge) Sutro Park overlooks Pacific Ocean
the japanese tea garden in golden gate park it beautiful. the setting fitts wedding pictures too. little bridges, ponds, plants. very romantic and good memories.
Many wedding photos are taken at these places: *Baker Beach (with the Golden Gate Bridge in the background) *Palace of Fine Arts (Pond, fountain, swans and classic architecture with columnade). * Japanese Tea Gardens (already mentioned), they are in Golden Gate Park which has a few places to consider for photos: Portals of the Past, Stow Lake, the Windmill and (already mentioned, the Conservatory of Flowers) * Also, thinking of it, I recently saw wedding photos being done in a very crowed interior of the Ferry Building. I thought that was a very cool idea.
