“We both really wanted to be married, we talked about it all the time, but a month after we got engaged, COVID hit. Even though a date was uncertain, we decided to start planning for when things became safe again. Every time we sat down to plan, extra pressure would pile on, and we kept asking ourselves, “what is most important?” and that was to be wives and make this lifelong commitment official.  

One night we were lying in bed and literally Googled “Joshua Tree Elopements” (the desert is a special place for us) and found our photographers, The Hendrys website. We laughed as we read their bio because we had so much in common. So we decided right then and there to reach out. They wrote us back quickly, and we instantly knew this is what we were going to do. It was a tad impulsive, which is very us, but we just couldn’t believe how right it felt. After we decided on an elopement that would be just the two of us, every decision from then on shifted back towards us and our love and away from everyone else’s expectations. Which also felt like a great representation of us as a couple.”
