In the world of wedding and elopement photography, couples are constantly seeking unique and breathtaking ways to immortalize their love stories. One trend that has taken the industry by storm is the incorporation of astrophotography (aka night sky photos) into engagement and elopement photos. Imagine exchanging vows under a blanket of stars or stealing a kiss under the Milky Way. In this blog post, we’ll explore the magical world of astrophotography and how it can elevate your engagement or elopement photos to celestial heights.

We kicked off the day at the picturesque Gooseberry Falls, a location that perfectly embodied the couple’s desire for an authentic and whimsical photo shoot. P and T had expressed their dissatisfaction with their wedding photos, feeling they didn’t truly capture their playful and spooky personalities. So, we embarked on a mission to capture their essence in a way that truly resonated with them.

We started our day surrounded by the majestic redwoods in Jedediah Smith State Park. As the sun filtered through the mists between the towering trees, K and H donned their more relaxed outfits, with K captivating everyone’s gaze in her stunning teal dress. We wandered through the woodland, soaking in the mystical atmosphere and indulging in some passionate Star Wars conversations. It was a dreamy start to an enchanting day.

As the morning sunshine filtered through the windows of their cozy Airbnb, I arrived to capture the intimate moments of B + B getting ready for their special day. B’s excitement was electric as they received a gift – a pin adorned with precious photos of their late grandmother and brother. These loved ones held a special place in their hearts, and the pin served as a beautiful reminder that they were with them in spirit on this momentous occasion.

To make the most of their full-day photography package, E + T decided to start early. I picked them up from their Airbnb just before sunrise, and together we drove into Joshua Tree National Park. The sky was just starting to illuminate with the first hints of light as we arrived at Arch Rock. The couple stood beneath the majestic arch, and I instantly began capturing magical moments.

When A + C approached me about capturing their love story, they expressed their desire for a breathtaking engagement session. They yearned for a session that would transition from the warmth of the setting sun to the mesmerizing beauty of a star-studded night sky. Intrigued, I took a moment to reveal an unexpected aspect of my photography background — astrophotography. I shared some of my previous work, and they were super excited!

When I + B reached out to me about doing an unconventional couples boudoir photo session in a cabin in the woods, I was all in and they brought their a-game. It was sexy, fun, and very very gay.
