Today we are really sharing something special. I had the pleasure of capturing Bethssy and Juanma’s elopement in Joshua Tree National Park. It just could not have been more beautiful. Between the golden hour sunlight, the stunning desert surroundings, and these two gorgeous people, I know you are going to love this gallery.

These two actually traveled all the way from Guatemala Mexico just to elope in Joshua Tree! How incredible is that? The beauty of Joshua Tree draws thousands of people every year but we think there is something extra special about choosing a beautiful place to tie the knot.

Bethssy and Juanma began their relationship as close friends and eventually found love in each other. They wanted to celebrate that love with a small and intimate ceremony. So romantic!

Joshua Tree Elopement

One peek at this gallery and you can immediately see how in love these two are. I think it’s safe to say, elopements aren’t ideal for everyone, but with Bethssy and Juanma, it was all about connecting with each other. Their vows were uplifting (with only a few romantic tears.) Every moment of their session was full of happiness.

If you are considering an elopement, pick a beautiful location. Whether you it’s a place you’ve been countless times or a new adventure spot, make it beautiful and your photos will shine.

Secondly, let your style reflect you. We just can’t get over how gorgeous Bethssy is in her gown with lace detailing and her veil flowing in the warm breeze. But she also chose to wear her hair down and relaxed and her makeup natural. She just looks so stunning in the desert landscape and, obviously, Juanma couldn’t take his eyes off her.

And lastly, our final elopement tip: take us with you. Let us capture your special moment with beautiful imagery that you can keep forever.
