Joshua Tree Wedding on Halloween

Joshua Tree Wedding: Hillary and Dallas were married on my favorite day, Halloween. The next day, Dallas presented Hillary with a Day of the Dead face painting experience which turned into a set of post wedding portraits in the desert. Their elopement vibe was a moody bohemian vibe, and were presented with the most wonderful sunset!

They got ready at the Avalon in Palm Springs, explored the town a bit in a vintage car, and then headed to Joshua Tree National Park for their ceremony.
