Free-Spirited Burning Man Desert Elopement

Why elope?

Elopements don’t need set locations or a huge amount of planning, there is no need to worry about how not to invite that guest you no longer connect with or how much the wedding will cost per head. All you really need to do is decide is how you want to feel. Elopements really are the effortless way to get married if you have a team that get what you want.

The elopement experience

Our Burning Man inspired elopement is about freedom, choice, connecting with all the things that make your heart skip a beat, self expression, love, the land, exploration. Not just an event but an experience that enhances your way of being. That reconnects you to all the reasons you chose your love to be in your life in the first place.

BEHIND THE SCENES

Location scouting and setting up the installations for our burning man elopement in the Tabernas desert was quite the challenge. Joy and I spent days looking for the ideal spots that were sheltered from the strong deserts winds, that had enough flat areas to set up the installations, not too faraway from a car park and that were breathtakingly beautiful of course. We hiked, climbing, slipped down rubble (many times) and finally settled on the most magical area hidden amongst palm trees and shaded by mountains.

STYLING & ELEMENTS

The tones were inspired by the warmth of the desert sun. The wings made from dried palm leaves that sits between between tall flag posts and billowing fabrics represent the sensations of discovery, growth, feeling at home and feeling free. Enjoy stepping in to this down to earth and experimental elopement captured through the creative eye of my love Joy Zamora.
