Just the Two of Us

Sometimes, keeping it simple and between the two of you is just so romantic. There’s no stress, no hullabaloo, and you can focus on the two of you. Check out Tiffany and Derek’s overseas elopement in San Francisco’s City Hall and tell me if you agree that it was oh so romantic. The bride’s simple gown with the halter neckline by Adrianna Papel was so sweet; and I love the groom’s blue Dolce & Gabbana outfit! Gladys Jem did an exceptional job of photographing them in their different beautiful locations. I hope you enjoy these snaps as much as I did!
