Intimate Papago Park Elopement // Colton and Sam

Intimate Papago Park Elopement with Colton and Sam

Colton and Sam were set to get hitched this past Spring with all of their friends and family. But like so many other couples, they had to face the hard reality that their wedding would look different than they originally planned. I can only imagine the grief and sadness a decision like this can bring. But these babes focused on what matters most, getting married.

Colton and Sam pivoted and within 7 short days, replanned and put together a whole new wedding day. Their vendors were all incredibly accommodating and we all found a new date next year for their big celebration. But in the meantime, they still wanted a “marriage day.” So on their original wedding date, we hosted an intimate elopement at Papago Park in Phoenix, Arizona.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
We gathered in the desert, found a beautiful saguaro, and surrounded by their family we held a short and sweet ceremony for them. They made the most of a tough situation and focused on what really matters, LOVE. Colton and Sam, thank you for having me be a part of your marriage day. I can’t wait until we party again next year!
