Berkeley's bay and hillside microclimates vary considerably — the flatlands near UC Berkeley stay foggier and cooler in summer while the hills above campus can be clearer and warmer on the same afternoon. June gloom is real in Berkeley through early July. Fall — September through November — is typically the most reliable and warmest season. Berkeley has one of California's richest architectural and landscape environments for wedding photography: Tilden Regional Park and its redwood groves in the hills, the UC Berkeley campus with its Beaux-Arts buildings and eucalyptus groves, and the Elmwood and Gourmet Ghetto commercial districts. The city has a distinct progressive character that shapes how couples approach their wedding aesthetic.
