Joshua Tree Elopement Photographer

Elopements, Vow Renewals & Engagements in Joshua Tree National Park

Hi, I’m Carrie —

your Joshua Tree National Park Elopement Photographer!

I’m so excited you’re here and interested in getting married or having your photos taken in Joshua Tree National Park, one of my favorite places in the world! Hiring me as your photographer means you’ll not only receive amazing photos to remember your day by, but you’ll also have a personal guide to help throughout the planning process. Additionally, I will take the time to get to know you so that I can make your experience as meaningful as possible and capture photos that truly feel like YOU.

Why Elope in Joshua Tree?

Joshua Tree National Park is an incredible and unique place that would be the perfect location for any desert loving couple to get married! From the Joshua Trees that the park is named for, to the expansive desert, large rock formations, cacti gardens, and mountains lining the horizon in the background, there’s no shortage of epic views to say your vows in front of. Not only is it a beautiful place for your ceremony and photos, but there’s lots to do in the park and surrounding area so you can truly experience the location you’re marrying in. I’ve fallen in love with Joshua Tree for its beautiful desert landscape, dreamy sunsets, and adventure opportunities, but what I love most about it is how many times I’ve been able to share it with couples and capture part of their story here.

“She totally understood my vision and truly delivered the most wonderful, dreamy photos that I could have asked for.”

I found Carrie while scrolling through Pinterest looking at inspiration for some overdo engagement photos. Her style was exactly what I was looking to embody. After initially contacting her (she communicates promptly) I knew it was a good match and I didn't even go ahead and contact other photographers on my list. She totally understood my vision after I shared my inspiration pictures with her and truly delivered the most wonderful, dreamy photos that I could have asked for - I am beyond obsessed. If you feel awkward in front of a camera, don't worry, she will give you cues and take all the guesswork out for you to make all poses seem as natural as possible. Also her photoshoot guides are amazing! She was a joy to work with and we hope to be able to work with her again soon!
