It's a Netflix love story
Ok… I could gush on and on about how my brides Kelli and Jenni are so amazing. This LA couple met in the industry and ended up both working at Netflix together. During the covid pandemic, they decided to plan a Joshua Tree elopement - just the two of them! The ceremony setting was inside the actual National Park of Joshua Tree, but they chose to do photos and get ready beforehand at their incredible airbnb, @desertwild_jt. Anytime I get to work with The Hendrys (@the_hendrys), I know I’m about to be OBSESSED with the client’s gallery, and this one sure is absolutely stunning. You just HAVE to see their first look moment together!
Kelli’s look focused on her gorgeous eyes. I gave her a bronze smokey eye and kept the rest of her makeup natural and effortless. Jenni’s look was natural with a neutral, bronze eye and loose, boho updo.
