Desert Botanical Garden - Phoenix, AZ Elopement Photo Story Award

Intimate Ceremony Photography from the Desert Botanical Gardens showing The bride smiles at the groom - officiated by her aunt

The bride smiled at the groom as they stood in a desert oasis, a secluded spot on the trail, to exchange their vows

Caitlin smiles at Andy during the wedding ceremony, which was officiated by her aunt. Caitlin chose the desert oasis spot on the trail so that the couple could say their vows in a place that felt both secretive and elusive. 

Midwest natives Caitlin and Andy decided that the best way to begin their new life together was by escaping to the desert in order to get married in the Arizona sunshine. Their elopement was peaceful, quiet, and personal. The couple was staying at an Airbnb in Phoenix, and after a brief "First Look" at the house, they traveled to the Desert Botanical Garden for a trailside elopement.
