The Bride Wore Black and Completely Pulled It Off

I’m always on board for a wedding day that breaks the mold, and this elopement photographed by Sylvie Gil does just that. Beginning with the bride’s Carolina Herrera black wedding gown, to an intimate exchange of vows at the Legion of Honor, Jessica and Ben proved that stylish weddings come in all forms and we can’t get enough.

Jessica & Ben are soulmates and childhood sweethearts – the picture of spontaneity and true love! The pair had been in love but never dated, for 22 years before they finally decided to elope at the Legion of Honor in San Francisco. Jessica crafted her own bouquet from her garden, did her own make and hair. The couple wore matching Louboutin shoes, and the only guests in attendance were the bride and groom’s siblings.
