100 Layer Cake

Ruby, can we just tell you that we’re a wee bit jealous that you’re marrying a real magician? Can you guys imagine just how much fun these two must have together? Ben here, is a member of the Magic Castle in Los Angeles and a lover and master of card tricks so it was a simple decision for Chris and Kristen Photography that this was going to be a romantic and whimsical e-sesh. Ruby + Ben’s adorableness would do the rest!

The first kiss Ruby gave to Ben was a strawberry flavored Hershey’s Kiss at their company’s new hire orientation. Ben and Ruby started working at their company around the same time and while working at two different departments in two different floors, their paths were crossed with a chocolately kiss. After dating for a year and half, Ben planned a surprised trip to Ruby’s favorite city, San Francisco. Ben took Ruby directly to Crissy Field, a park overlooking the Golden Gate Bridge (magical place on a sunny day). In the middle of the park surrounded by passersby walking their cute pups, Ben proposed to Ruby by playing the ukulele and singing Marry Me, by Train.

Congratulations on your engagement Ruby + Dave, and happy planning!
