Early February I had the chance to fly over to the beautiful city of Palm Springs to photograph a sweet + unique styled shoot at the Bella Donna Estate with some ultra talented photographers! The estate is nestled right next to some gorgeous desert mountains, it has a pool and a beautiful garden setting. But of course all the talented vendors really brought this whole styled shoot to life with the bright colored florals, intricate table settings, and balloon installs.

Palm Springs is the perfect place to get married if you want tons of sunshine, golden desert vibes, and super unique venues.

Jaclyn + Parker the models for our styled shoot were so in love and you could just see it shining through the photos! The first dress that Jaclyn wore was from The Lovely Bride in LA, detailed with pretty beautiful floral appliqués, her headpiece created by Fox Tail florals matched perfectly. Parker later changed into a more casual plaid suit and Jaclyn killed it in her white jumpsuit with a cape that she wore on their actual wedding reception (how cute?!) She also rocked a bright colored flower crown that definitely made a statement paired together with the jumpsuit.

You can totally rock a beautiful formal dress for your ceremony and then change into a more casual/trendy outfit for your reception. Tons of brides (and grooms!) take the opportunity to swap their more formal ceremony attire for something simpler, breezier or a little more daring.

We ended the evening by having an epic flower petal exit, I mean, just look at their HUGE smiles! It was so fun to photograph these two and get creative in different areas around the venue. The beauty and eclectic style of Palm Springs definitely shined through at this elopement styled shoot, and I am so here for it!
