Los Angeles Central Library Elopement

A sunrise ceremony in downtown Los Angeles

What started as a shared love of books and a first date at the Library Bar downtown, came full circle with private sunrise vows in the rotunda of the LA Central Library. Following the ceremony, the newlyweds took to the streets of DTLA for coffee and pastries, and portraits around the city.
