Tumbleweed Sanctuary // Twentynine Palms, CA // Styled Elopement // Jordan & Brandon

Jordan and Brandon came into the house and started talking to the makeup artist about Game of Thrones and their dogs… I knew right away that they were the sort of nerdy people that I love to photograph. My favorite clients are crazy in love and are also super dorky.

Once again, the incredible wallpaper in the airbnb made the perfect backdrop as Brandon got ready in his amazing purple suit from Friar Tux. If you want an accent that photographs well look for contrasting colors and a repeating pattern or a simple mural. 

Tumbleweed sanctuary is the perfect bohemian venue tucked away in Twentynine Palms, California. It has a winding labyrinth, room for a drive up photo booth or bar, and it has plenty of joshua trees to take photos against.   

Once we got to Tumbleweed Sanctuary the desert wind mixed with the wisps of Jordan’s hair and the tassels on the sleeves of her dress made for some incredible photos. Movement always creates a more interesting image; movement of fabric, hair, and the models.

It was very cold, but Jordan and Brandon had the snuggles of their favorite person to keep them warm until the sun went down. And then they forgot how cold they were as they danced under the cafe lights, swaying to the sound of the desert.
