Joshua Tree Inspired Wedding | Los Angeles Wedding Photographer

I met Natalie and Mark on a warm, windy early summer afternoon in Joshua Tree. It was immediately obvious they are a very comfortable and easy going couple. Their love is evident in the way they look at each other, the laughter they share and the tenderness in their conversation.

The day was an inspired wedding shoot in Joshua Tree and what unfolded was an afternoon celebrating their 11 years of marriage. Mark sang his favorite song to Natalie, and they danced in the desert while laughing that it wasn’t really her favorite. Mark and Natalie’s relationship embodies everything I love to capture; joy, admiration with some fun mixed in.

Vows were quietly exchanged between the two of them in the shade of the majestic granite rocks and twisty Joshua Trees. I was struck by the admiration Mark has for his beautiful wife as his face lit up while talking about their four kids and what an incredible mother she is to them and her reflection back to him about their life together as a couple and family.

I showed up to the shoot to work on my craft and return a product to this couple that they will cherish like they do their photos from their wedding day and I left inspired with my heart full.
