A wedding in joshua tree national park ...

the occasion:

a high desert wedding

the location:

the bride wore cowboy boots ... this was a charming event that took place in joshua tree national park.

it was a beautiful setting for a ceremony. 

the reception moved onto the 29 palms inn for an intimate gathering of fifty guests.  we had decorated the garden area outside one of the casitas, with twinkling lights, wild flowers, beautiful vintage printed table cloths on all the tables, lots of candles etc. 

it was a gorgeous desert evening with stars above and warm breezes below.
