Photographer’s Thoughts On This California Desert Elopement 

This styled shoot with Details Darling gave us the opportunity to remind modern brides that they have more options than they think when designing an intimate celebration. We were inspired to bring the Spanish coast to the desert with fresh fruit, delicate flowers, cliffside shots, and a clean but elevated design. We created this shoot to show couples they can get creative with their space and think outside the box when planning their micro-weddings. Whether that be choosing an Airbnb instead of a traditional wedding space, or bringing life and luxury to the desert!

Event planner Details Darling, photographer Foolishly Rushing In, and a talented team of wedding vendors created this California desert elopement to prove small celebrations don’t have to be dull. Regardless of your wedding size or location, there are many elements that can transform your big day into a memorable and personalized nuptial.
