Pioneertown Motel wedding

Rudy and Elizabeth’s Pioneertown Motel wedding near Joshua Tree in Southern California was SUCH a fun October celebration! These two are super laid back, and they wanted their wedding day to be a reflection of their Morongo Valley desert lifestyle. We LOVED their non-traditional fashion choices (Elizabeth’s Daughters of Simone dress and Rudy’s amazing floral tie and modern brown suit!!), and they kept the reception casual with minimal cacti decor (lovingly potted by friends and family in the days leading up to the wedding) and food truck fare. The weather was perfect and the desert sunset did not disappoint. Here are just a few favorites from Elizabeth and Rudy’s Indio wedding day!

And if you’re feeling those desert vibes, we also recommend Liz + Ryan’s wedding at Moorten Botanical Gardens and Korakia Pensione.
