Ashley + Brandon spent the day before their elopement walking through different sections of Joshua Tree National Park, hunting for the perfect spot—the place where they would say their “I do’s” surrounded by towering cactus plants under the setting desert sun.
These two love all things analog. Film photography. Record players. Vintage vinyl. Their whole elopement had an unplugged and romantic, retro spirit that totally captured their energy as a pair. Their color palette was an eclectic mix of deep and bright colors alike, and the western wear details of their wedding day looks were perfect for the wild and wonderful landscape of Joshua Tree.
Planners from Desert Rose Creative helped Ashley + Brandon carry off an elopement that felt peaceful, quirky, and quintessentially them. And photographer Allison from Uncharted Elopements took so many gorgeous photos of this dreamy day out in the desert!
“I wanted to bring a little bit of the Nudie suit-slash-Gram Parsons vibe but did not want to overdo it and draw any attention away from Ashley’s dress and flowers,” Brandon says. “And I thought the warm color palette of my suit would look great against the backdrop of the desert.”
