We definitely do a LOT of California destination weddings, but one area that I had never worked in or got to explore was Death Valley National Park. When our bride, Yana, emailed us about her destination elopement at Death Valley, I was immediately on board for the adventure!!! The couple chose to have their ceremony inside the park at Zabriskie Point, a badlands viewpoint where you can see for miles. Absolutely epic and breathtaking.

The vibes were immaculate… she turned that backyard into a bohemian dream wedding ceremony! And yes, pampas grass EVERYWHERE, just the way we like it. ;)

For her hair, we had to keep with her boho vision, so we styled a fishtail braided half up, half down style. For makeup, we chose warm tones and neutrals for the eyes and kept the skin fresh and glowy with airbrush foundation.

What are COVID weddings/COVID elopements looking like these days? Well, actually pretty romantic and magical, I’d say!!! Santa Barbara has the most beautiful City Hall, with gorgeous grounds for photos! An absolutely beautiful spot for elopements, especially in the midst of COVID and smaller micro-weddings!

This dreamy, intimate elopement on the coast of Big Sur is what boho wedding DREAMS are made of!!! When this bride from Texas emailed me about her destination elopement, I could not have been more excited to travel back for work! Their photos + video so beautifully capture that “adventure couple” vibe.
