It was a perfect sunny day in Beverly Hills for Diane and Ben's elopement. The beautiful Southern California weather set the stage for a truly memorable occasion, and Beverly Hills City Hall provided a stunning backdrop — I loved getting creative with my focusing to capture the magic of the moment. Diane and Ben had such an infectious, cozy vibe throughout the shoot. Their story is a sweet one — they started out as roommates and ended up falling in love, proof that love really can happen anytime. Both of them are deep into their careers in the gaming industry, and I loved getting to know them during the session. Grateful to Kirsten King for referring them my way! The family was just as much fun to capture, full of laughter and personality — including one especially hilarious group shot that's become one of my favorites from the day.
