Epic Zabriskie Point wedding ceremony inside of Death Valley National Park

WEDDING RECAPSDestination
Written By Emily Wright

We definitely do a LOT of California destination weddings, but one area that I had never worked in or got to explore was Death Valley National Park. When our bride, Yana, emailed us about her destination elopement at Death Valley, I was immediately on board for the adventure!!! The couple chose to have their ceremony inside the park at Zabriskie Point, a badlands viewpoint where you can see for miles. Absolutely epic and breathtaking. I cannot WAIT to go again.

Yana’s bridal hair and makeup look was effortless. Simple, bronze, natural airbrush makeup, and for hair we styled a low, loose updo. The Bay area bride and groom got ready in an adorable lodge-looking airbnb in a nearby town called Pahrump, which is a great spot to stay if you’re looking to be close to Death Valley.
