Patrick’s green jacket pulled everything together perfectly. Their looks were so fun while still being so special!!

Pretty in Pink Wedding at the Saguaro Hotel. Palm Springs, CA | Daphne & Austin

We were watching golden girls and it was the episode where rose proposes to miles and Austin asked if I would ever propose to him to which I said “if it takes you that long”. But then I had a lightbulb moment and decided why not ask him? He was my best friend and as much as I wanted to be proposed to to see a man show his vulnerability and love for me, I knew I didn’t need it because Austin shows me everyday he loves me. I never have to question it. There’s no one else I would rather do life with.

LOTR Wedding at Wildwood Acres. Lafayette, CA | Julia & Will

Julia picked the most perfect dress that felt like it was made for her. The pearl polka dot detail was perfect and the midi length was so fun for multiple reasons.

These took her into the reception, where she changed into her dancing shoes : Custom painted high top Converse

Iridescent Villa Royal Wedding. Palm Springs, CA | Daniel & Ryan

For their big day, the design focus was Modern, Moody and Warm. With ultimate design queens Luna Design Studios, they transformed The Villa Royal into a iridescent and playful wonderland!!! Darth Vader was the ring bearer and each guest found their way to their seat via a customized Lego figurine made by the grooms! Daniel told me they lost count of how many times they ended up at the Lego store. Legos also made their way into the boutonnières and table numbers.

Enchanted NYC Elopement Tour. NY, NY | Tiff & Matt

We got up before the sun and were treated to a dark and quiet Times Square. It was truly wild to be there in the morning before the city had woken up. Equally as magical was Central Park, only populated by a few early bird runners and dogs who needed to go out. We had so much fun channeling Amy Adams as Giselle.

Hawaiian Coffee Farm Wedding. Kona, HI | Devin & Zach

If you get married in Hawaii, you have to count on the fact that it will rain at *some* point during the day. Naturally it rained on and off for most of Devin & Zach’s day but it didn’t dampen their spirits! While Kate and her team at Sunshower Weddings worked tirelessly moving the ceremony outside and then inside again as the clouds menaced.

Dreamy Joshua Tree Desert Wedding at High Desert Paradise. Yucca Valley, CA | Melissa & Mel

With the plans of a big wedding put on hold because of the pandemic (which they joked was actually a blessing in disguise because an elopement is WAY more their style!), Melissa and Melanie switched gears to have an intimate gathering with their immediate family in Joshua Tree instead. They found High Desert Paradise through air bnb, which provided ALL the incredible desert wedding vibes and an awesome spot for everyone to stay. The huge saguaro and handmade blanket aisle are just some of the highlights. It is the perfect venue for an intimate desert wedding!
