An Intimate, Eclectic DIY Wedding in Joshua Tree | Real Wedding Inspiration If you’ve ever dreamed of a desert wedding that’s intimate, fun, intentional, with a bid of editorial flair—Sarah and Chris’s DIY Joshua Tree wedding is the inspiration you’ve been waiting for. Sarah, Chris, and their community poured their hearts into every detail from the macrame altar she created herself to the epic charcuterie board made by their friends. This incredible property had so many eclectic corners for some fun editorial shots – the infinity room, the pink-tiled bathroom and velvet bed, and […]

There’s something so honest about the way kids exist at weddings. They don’t try to be anything but themselves– curious, chaotic, sweet, wild. One minute they’re sneaking extra cake, the next they’re curled up in someone’s lap or breaking into full-body dance moves on an empty floor. There’s no filter, no pretense—just pure, in-the-moment energy. As a documentary-style wedding photographer, I love watching for these moments. Many times, these shots end up making a gallery feel even more real. Kids remind us that weddings aren’t just about the timelines and traditions—they’re about families in motion, living in the moment, and not giving a sh*t. I’ll always make space for the realness kids bring to a wedding day. Because they’re part of the story too.

Rebecca and Ryan’s day began with a classic ceremony in an ornate, light-filled church—simple, emotional, and full of intention.
