Why variety matters in your wedding photo gallery - California Elopement Photographer Kept Record

All of your photos won’t look exactly the same- and that’s a good thing. You wouldn’t want hundreds of photos of you staring straight at the camera, glued to the exact same spot, would you? (if you do… you’re in the wrong place!) On a wedding day, there are a million different nuanced details: the way your dress lightly brushes the desert floor, the polaroids from your first date paperclipped to your handwritten vows, the way your partner looks at you when they see you for the first time. These moments are so distinctive and worth remembering! One of the most critical parts of being a photographer is walking the line between consistency and variety - creating photos that are strong enough to stand alone and cohesive enough to support each other.

planning a Joshua Tree elopement | Joshua Tree elopement photographer

There is something truly magical about getting married in Joshua Tree. Whether you get married or elope inside Joshua Tree National Park or in the surrounding areas, which include places like Palm Springs and Coachella Valley to the southwest, Yucca Valley and Pioneertown to the northeast, and Twentynine Palms to the north, you’re sure to be saying “I do” in a truly incredible area. My husband and I eloped in Joshua Tree in January 2018, and I’ve been in love with the area ever since! I’ve shot a few weddings in the Joshua Tree area since, at airbnbs and wedding venues (*see them here*), but I was absolutely THRILLED when Estephania and Piero reached out to me about their Joshua Tree National Park elopement! This blog goes over how to elope in Joshua Tree, Estephania + Piero’s elopement, and tips from my own elopement experience.
