Golden Vows

Adventure elopements have always been a term that oozes love. There is something majestic about looking at a dreamy couple declaring their love for one another with a golden backdrop provided by Mother Nature. Manny and Montana’s special day made that much more special by being away from the conformity of social norms. They were able to step into the stillness and quietness of their day and soak up all that the surrounds had to offer. As a result, it provided an undeniable sacredness to the knot tied between the couple by the witness of the golden sand of Las Vegas, Nevada. The sun perfectly setting the stage for the most astonishing lighting.

The Raw Emotion of Elopements

Montana dressed in a classic boho styled dress and the handsome Manny looking suave in a tailored suit. Meanwhile, the scent of nature drifted through the air, stirring with love, which made their raw emotions come to life in every image. The entire day was so intimate and struck a chord within the couple’s souls reflected by their glowing faces.

Love is in the Desert

Just for a moment, imagine staring into the eyes of your significant other surrounded by the blissful silence of the desert; hand in hand, feet in the sand, while uttering those life-changing words “I Do”! There is something very powerful and secure in having nature witness the most important day of your life. Okay, and perhaps a few of those nearest and dearest to you. It sounds like a perfectly intimate elopement I’d say.
