A Day in Dubai - A White Sands Styled Elopement

February 7, 2020 Alicia Padilla and Jaclyn Younger

Every single time we take a little trip down to White Sands National Park in Southern New Mexico, we feel like we’re transported to a complete different world and last year, we captured the most magical styled elopement there!

Inspired by the colorful, eclectic, and completely unique Middle Eastern culture of Dubai, this shoot was beyond some of our wildest dreams. Our bride, Katie, was not only the most stunning redhead on the planet, but her beauty radiated even more thanks to hair and makeup by Taylor Glam, a little bejeweled beauty by The Lucky Sixpence, and, of course, the insanely stellar Chosen by One Day bridal gown from our friends at Lovely Bride Denver. Our groom, Ivan, proved that minimalist wedding style is always a good idea and was beyond dashing in this desert elopement. And we can’t forget our guest of honor, Mitch the camel, who made this shoot a truly out of this world experience.

Besides our gorgeous couple and their furry friend, Traveling Weddings with Taylor made sure that a ton of stellar vendors were a part of this day’s design. From a beautiful bouquet by Gaia Stvdio to rentals by Warehouse Rose Events and Coral Lane Rentals, this Duabi infused elopement was intricate in all the right ways.

We adored every aspect of this shoot, from the details to the laughs to frolicking through miles of pure white sand with some of the best people around, we can’t wait for our next trip to this extraordinary location!!
