Every wedding I have photographed has been special to me. Someone inviting me into their lives to photograph one of the most important days of their new lives together. But it’s even more special to me when I get to photograph a friend’s wedding. It was an honor to be invited to fly down to Palm Springs and photograph Jennifer and Rashard’s elopement wedding in September. Married in the backyard of a rental house with only their parents and wedding officiant it was a cute little wedding right as the sun fell below the surrounding Palm Spring mountains. It was my first wedding I got to photograph bare foot. A nice elegant dinner at the Riviera Resort and Spa Circa 59 before a short walk out to the Palm Springs windmills was the perfect way to celebrate the marriage between my two friends.
