Imperial Sand Dunes Desert Elopement in California. This styled shoot is the perfect inspiration for a boho, whimsical styled elopement.

Children often grow up dreaming of a large wedding with grand flower bouquets, vaulted chapel ceilings, and a room packed with the people they love looking on in adoration. 

For some people, however, a large wedding simply isn’t in the cards—and there’s nothing wrong with that! 

For people that fall into this category, elopement is usually found to be the next best thing. 

Regardless of why you don’t want a traditional wedding—be it financial reasons, family reasons, or even just personal preference— there’s absolutely nothing wrong with opting for an elopement! In fact, elopement can bring a sense of intimacy and excitement into your engagement that traditional weddings just can’t. 

A common issue with eloping, though, is finding good ways to celebrate. What do you do instead of having a ceremony and reception? Is there anything you can do? 

Well, recently, I did a Boho Desert Elopement styled shoot at The Imperial Sand Dunes and the results were stunning. The hot desert sunset provided just the right amount of dramatic lighting, and the couple (and the vendors) could not stop raving about how special the photos were. 

For this particular shoot, several vendors helped put together the overall look and props used.

These vendors included: 

Dacigowns (Dress)

Wildly In Love (Planner)

Justlago (Hair and Makeup)

Boho Chic Dreams (Florals) 

Left Cruising (Models)

I came together with these vendors and brainstormed how we could make this elopement special, and we settled on having complimentary pastels and styles the complemented the landscape. 

Together, with myself and the help of these vendors, went out to California to create a breathtaking boho desert styled elopement that introduced a whimsical look that complimented this couple perfectly. 

I would love to photograph your elopement if this is the route you are thinking of going.

Let’s make your elopement special!
