An excerpt from the article: “A few years ago, the couple found themselves inspired by Jen’s sister who’d started a van-life adventure and was sending plenty of gorgeous pictures from the road. Jen + Scott decided to have an adventure of their own and started planning a camping trip that would take them way out West to Joshua Tree.

“Everything was new to us,” the couple remembers of their first camping trip in the California desert. “We were inexperienced campers and had never traveled through this part of the country. We both reveled in that feeling of awe of the land that was so rugged, wild, and vast. It was almost like we were explorers.  Working as our own little team, just the two of us against the big, wide world, brought us even closer together.”

It was from this experience that the couple drew when they started planning their Joshua Tree I do’s. “That feeling of discovery and intimacy was something we wanted to share with our loved ones,” say Jen + Scott of the intimate destination wedding they dreamed up, “which is why we chose the theme of ‘wonder.’”

…”Planning a wedding involves a lot of shared creative output, so the most important thing is to work as a team. The shared flow can feel really great, and having each other’s support through the more tedious tasks is important. We put a lot of time and consideration into choosing the right theme for us, which helped us maintain our focus. Our planners, photographers, and baker weren’t just our vendors, they became part of our wedding team and became part of the collaborative and creative process.””
