Dreamt up by Hotzel Photography and a creative team of vendors, this styled shoot showcases the beauty of having an intimate, authentic, and intentional celebration with only Mother Nature as witness.
With the iconic sand dunes as a backdrop, it was the perfect setting for a private vow exchange and a romantic sweetheart table for two. And it wasn’t just the views that were gorgeous that day. Channeling a laid-back style, the groom rocked a fleece-lined jacket and bolo tie. While the bride embodied the picture-perfect boho look in her lace dress with butterfly sleeves, boots, and a fedora. The sandy mountain peaks, dramatic canyons, and colorful rock formations—everything about this Death Valley elopement inspiration was nothing short of incredible. If you and your partner are on the fence about planning an adventure elopement in a beautiful secluded location, let this be your sign. These dreamy photos are guaranteed to inspire you.
