If you’re looking for a sign to just run away to the desert and look incredibly cool doing it, this is it.
As an elopement photographer, and I’ve seen plenty of couples do the “Vegas thing,” but Ewan and Megan? They didn’t just do it; they owned it. Their day was a masterclass in how to blend high-fashion editorial vibes with the raw, quiet beauty of the Mojave.
There is “getting married,” and then there is getting married in Vegas.
I wanna show you a specific kind of magic that only exists in the Coachella Valley. It’s a blend of harsh desert sun, swaying architectural palms, and a deep-rooted history of Hollywood glamour. When Darek and Bonnie reached out to me about photographing their elopement in Palm Springs, I knew we would be having a ton of fun.
The setting was nothing short of magical – Christmas Eve with snowy morning and brisk air. Behind the newlyweds towering the iconic New York City skyline, the gentle rustling of the trees, the quiet serenity of the frozen lake. It was the perfect backdrop for an intimate ceremony that felt straight out of a movie.
