The Coachella Valley and Joshua Tree National Park are two highly sought after destinations for people looking to elope in Palm Springs. I have been photographing events in the Palm Springs Area of California for over a decade, and I am familiar with popular sites as well as some off-the-beaten-path spots.
If you are looking for a professional photographer for your elopement, intimate wedding, or courthouse ceremony, I am your girl.
I know the Covid-19 Pandemic is at the forefront of everyone's minds right now. I want to assure you that the health and safety of you and your loved ones is very important to me. First and foremost, you should know I live in a rural area outside of Palm Springs, and besides a few trips to the local grocery store, I have not been around other people since the restrictions were put in place in March.
If you are concerned about your safety during your elopement, I often work with telephoto "zoom" lenses which will allow me to stay farther away, while still capturing beautiful and compelling images of you and your sweetie saying "I do."
As a Palm Springs native, I can help you find some beautiful, secluded spots for photos, as well as give you a few ideas on great spaces to have your ceremony.
This photograph beautifully captures an intimate wedding ceremony on the lawn of the O'Donnell House in Palm Springs, California, a serene and picturesque setting nestled in the desert hills. The golden sunlight streams down from above, backlighting the scene with an ethereal glow that creates a sense of magic and tranquility.
At the center of the frame, the couple stands hand in hand before the officiant, their connection palpable as they exchange vows. The bride, radiant in a flowing ivory gown, stands gracefully on the lush green lawn, her long, golden hair softly catching the sunlight. The groom, dressed in a sharp, tailored suit, exudes quiet joy and devotion as he faces his partner. The officiant, wearing a vibrant multicolored stole, adds a warm and personal touch to this meaningful moment.
The setting is adorned with natural beauty, with lush palms and vibrant red bougainvillea framing the scene. The greenery hugs the perimeter of the lawn, creating a secluded garden oasis. The deep magenta flowers contrast stunningly with the greenery and the muted tones of the desert mountains stretching across the background. These rolling hills, bathed in soft light, serve as a breathtaking backdrop, grounding the moment in the natural elegance of Palm Springs.
The small group of seated guests—close family and friends—witness the ceremony in simple white folding chairs arranged in two neat rows. Their posture conveys attentiveness, reverence, and love as they look on, capturing the essence of a micro-wedding—intimate, heartfelt, and centered around connection. Among them, a guest in bright pink adds a cheerful pop of color that enhances the warm, celebratory feel of the occasion.
The lawn itself, vibrant and green, provides a perfect foundation for the ceremony, its neat edges blending seamlessly into the surrounding foliage. The play of light and shadow across the grass creates added depth and texture, drawing the viewer's eye toward the couple and the vows being exchanged.
This image embodies the charm and simplicity of an outdoor garden ceremony—a celebration of love against a stunning natural canvas. It highlights the beauty of small, meaningful gatherings and the joy of creating lifelong memories in a tranquil, sunlit haven.
