Watson Lake Elopement with family

Andrew and Desirae’s elopement was nothing short of magical! Surrounded by the love of their close family, they celebrated their union in a way that truly reflected their adventurous and intimate lifestyle.

Their day began at their cozy campground, where they live in their RV, but were able to also rent a couple charming tiny homes, making it the perfect spot for their visiting family to stay. They also used the tiny homes for getting ready. The atmosphere was relaxed yet filled with excitement as everyone prepared for the special day. Once ready, we headed to the stunning Watson Lake in Prescott, Arizona, where their family had arranged a simple yet elegant ceremony setup.

The ceremony was heartfelt and brief but packed with emotion, capped by an unforgettable surprise—Desirae’s brothers arrived unexpectedly, bringing tears of joy to her eyes. It was a moment that highlighted the deep bonds of family and made their day even more meaningful.

After the ceremony, we captured some quick family photos before setting off with just Andrew and Desirae to explore the breathtaking scenery of Watson Lake. The rugged rock formations and sparkling water provided a stunning backdrop for their couple’s portraits.

As the day unfolded, we transitioned to Sedona, where the magic continued. At Airport Mesa, known for its incredible 360-degree views, we captured more gorgeous photos as the sun dipped below the horizon, painting the sky in rich hues of orange and pink. The light, the love, and the location came together perfectly for a series of unforgettable images.

To wrap up their special day, we joined their family for a celebratory dinner at Mariposa, a fine dining restaurant in Sedona. Before heading inside, we took a few final photos of the couple outside the restaurant, glowing with joy. Then, they enjoyed a delicious meal, surrounded by their loved ones, as the perfect ending to a beautiful day.

Andrew and Desirae’s elopement was the epitome of what makes small weddings so special—genuine moments, personal touches, and a focus on what truly matters: their love and the people who mean the most to them.

Congratulations, Andrew and Desirae! Thank you for letting me be part of your unforgettable day. 🌟
