Ok… before I go ahead and freak out over how stinkin’ hot these two are, I wanna talk about their relationship and this magical day!

Noah + Taylor eloped during a golden hour sunset in Yucca Valley (near Joshua Tree National Park). They got married earlier, but we took candid and adventurous couples photos of them to celebrate!

Their boho and moody elopement was the perfect match for their personalities, with some goofy and silly laughter in between dumb jokes too. These two are so fun to be around, not to mention GORGEOUS! I mean, look at them!!!

They just moved to Oceanside from Illinois to open up their own donuts and coffee shop! They’ve known each other since she was 12 years old… isn’t that crazy?!?! Now they’re expanding his parent’s donut business and creating a franchise right here in Oceanside! I went to their grand opening just two weeks after we took these photos. What a perfect time for an elopement in the desert and a grand opening! You guys have to go check it out. It’s a cute and modern donut shop called Parlor Doughnuts. I’m not a huge donut person, but these are more like the most luxurious desert croissants you’ve ever had. Because the dough is folded, it makes this massive donut feel crunchy, buttery, soft, and flakey. …Now I’m craving one.

Anyways, check out their beautiful, candid, intimate, and fun elopement shoot!
