When we filmed Sarah and Jayrom’s romantic wedding in Palm Springs last November, we were touched by the sweet, steady love they had for each other. We knew they’d have great advice for other couples, so we invited them to write about their story and wedding for the blog. Whether you’re looking for inspiration for your own wedding or just like a good love story, you’re going to love this interview. We didn’t know what a treat we were in for! It’s not often you get to hear the groom's perspective, and Jayrom is a great writer and a true romantic.

The wedding is the moment you declare your marriage and the experience everyone is gathering to witness.

This week we met another high desert local who works on weddings, Trish Jones. She is an event planner and designer at The Walk Down The Aisle along with her business partner Stacey Jones. We felt an immediate connection to Trish’s big smile and calm presence. She has encyclopedic knowledge of the ins-and-outs of Joshua Tree and Palm Springs venues and vendors, making her a great resource for couples planning weddings in the area.

This week we were excited to be featured on the Wedding Chicks blog. Twice! They featured the beautiful wedding we shot in October on the shores of Lake Havasu in Arizona.

We’ll be sharing stories from other couples soon, but we thought we’d start off our blog with the story of our own wedding including Melissa's surprise proposal, house hunting while wedding planning and a windy wedding day.
