These two lovers came all the way to Los Angeles to elope! They picked up a snazzy Airbnb to get ready in and brought three of their closest friends to witness them get married in DTLA. Furthermore, they asked their best friend to officiate the ceremony, which lead to plenty of laughter and tears throughout. Post ceremony, they went to explore the colorful streets so they could take in the city in its entirety. It's everything they ever hoped for in their city elopement.
