a romantic beverly hills elopement captured on film

Claudia and Marco’s Beverly Hills City Hall elopement had this effortlessly cool energy I’ll never forget. Chic, romantic, and full of real emotion — it was the kind of day that reminds me why I love documenting love stories on film. The courthouse itself is a total gem with its classic architecture, palm trees, and warm golden tones that make it feel timeless. But it was the quiet connection between these two that really brought everything to life. They were so present with each other, soaking in every moment and letting the day be exactly what they wanted it to be.

Everything was captured on film photography and Super 8 video, to keep it feeling raw, romantic, and full of texture. There’s something about film that just elevates these simple, sacred moments — nothing overly posed or performative, just two people in love making it official. We wandered around the building and surrounding streets, chasing light and pausing whenever the moment felt right. Claudia’s look was timeless, Marco couldn’t stop smiling at her, and the whole afternoon felt like a quiet celebration just for them.

Here are a few of my favorite frames from their Beverly Hills elopement.
