The Grooms *Stunned* At This Intimate Yet Glamorous Backyard Wedding in Palm Springs

two grooms wearing stylish wedding day attire for their palm springs wedding

You are not ready for these gorgeous grooms.

Caleb + Cameron’s wedding day was a pink + glittery Palm Springs spectacular complete with some of the most uniquely stunning wedding day style we’ve seen in a while. And the coolest part? The whole magical day went down in their own backyard!

You might know Caleb better as online dance fitness sensation “The Fitness Marshall.” Cameron manages their company. “Since our lives are played out online, we wanted to keep the wedding intimate with just our family and closest friends,” says the couple. “We started out touring venues and thinking big and fabulous, and the more we looked, the more we felt drawn to honor the part of our lives that is just us, stripped down without all the fluff. And that’s how we landed on having the wedding in our Palm Springs home.”

One of the most impressive things about the way this day turned out? Caleb + Cameron struck a perfect balance between the intimate vibe they were after and the sequin + velvet glamour of an unforgettable Palm Springs event. “We wanted our family and friends close, and we wanted it to feel easy and not be a huge production like we’re used to,” Caleb + Cameron remember. “We also couldn’t veer too far off into boring either, which is why we enlisted Michelle Garibay Events to take our vision and bring it to life and we were able to step back and let her do her magic.”

The amazing Mary Costa was there snapping all of these incredible photos. We can’t wait to show you!

“One thing we knew for sure is you weren’t gonna catch us in basic men’s suits,” says the couple of their breathtaking wedding day fashion. “We wanted our looks to be talked about til the end of time. So we knew we had to find someone who had the creative eye to really nail our vision.

And we did when we asked our talented friend, Gunner Deatherage, to create custom wedding suits that blended masculine and feminine elements and captured the essence of our respective personalities. We truly had never felt more like ourselves than we did in those garments.”

Our Favorite Memory From The Wedding

We invited our dear friend, Jo, to officiate our wedding in Drag. From Jo's entrance (fabulous) to the jokes that had us wheezing, to the tender moments where the tears started to creep in... every single moment of our ceremony was perfection.

Look at that cape billowing in the wind!

That incredible train! It’s giving Carrie Bradshaw.

Diamond Beauty Hair & Makeup kept these grooms looking gorgeous on their big day.

We can’t get enough of the story of how these two fell for each other: “I first noticed Cameron on Tinder and thought he was cute but ended up swiping left because he seemed too “nice” and young from his photo with his family,” says Caleb. “Not too long after I was teaching a class in college, and I noticed this familiar face in the crowd. After class, I came outside to find him and there he was. Even cuter in person, it was like a shining disco light surrounded him as I approached him to say hello. We quickly clicked and fell for each other hard not long after.”

A Beautiful Backyard Reception

Guests enjoyed Caleb + Cameron’s specialty wedding cocktails from an adorable pink flamingo bar.

Love the way that Caleb + Cameron’s guests embraced the sparkly vibe. How fun is that Betsey Johnson disco ball purse!

Ready for one of the sweetest wedding day stories we’ve ever heard?

“There was a special moment that wasn’t caught by many people but was personally one of the most special moments of the whole day,” says Caleb. “When I first came out to my grandma 14 years ago, the first thing she said to me was that she still wanted to dance at my wedding. We didn’t make a whole production of it and it was just a private moment between my grandma and me.

But towards the end of the night I pulled her on the dance floor and we danced together and it was as if the world stopped and we were both fully present in a moment that we had waited so long for. She kept her promise and feeling that love and support meant everything to me.”

Absolutely obsessed with that pink sequin two-piece cut out feather trim mini dress!

We are over the moon for this floating tier disco ball wedding cake from Over the Rainbow Desserts. And yes, that is the same pattern from the custom seating chart!

The deliciousness didn’t stop there! Caleb + Cameron also treated their friends + fam to gelato from Gelato Paradiso and an espresso bar from Good Coffee Co..
