Alejandra + Cameron | March 2021
Where to even begin with these two…
Ale + Cam planned their Joshua Tree wedding day so intentionally. From adding cotton that Ale’s grandmother loved to her bouquet, thoughtfully choosing each of their favorite wedding vendors that they strongly connected with, keeping their small ceremony exclusive to their closest people, and to thoughtfully prepared private vows spoken just between them during their outdoor first look / “grounding time” before their ceremony—
Every bit of their boho-inspired wedding day was a reflection of love and thoughtfulness.
Prior to Covid-19, their wedding plans were to have a Mount Rainier elopement in Washington. However, already living in California, they chose a wedding destination that was closer by that they felt strongly connected to. They loved the idea of desert vibes, and having photographed Joshua Tree National Park engagement sessions and elopements before, I knew they would be over the moon! They started their day getting ready at The Joshua Tree House.

After getting ready inside the beautifully detailed Joshua Tree House, they met outside for their first look.
While family drove over to the Joshua Tree National Park elopement ceremony location, Ale and Cam took their time with just them two to ground themselves and say their personal vows.
They headed back inside for a few touch-ups before heading to their ceremony together.
Once they made it to their ceremony site at Hidden Valley Picnic Area, they were joined by their closest family (including their pup Chloe!). It was a quiet, heartfelt ceremony at sunset surrounded by acres of Joshua Trees and the warm sun shining on us while the light breeze kept us cool.
Once the sun set around us, we made our way back to the Jax House (airbnb) for their reception.
