Downtown Palm Springs Elopement | Margo + Mark
Intimate Desert Elopement in Palm Springs, California
Margo and Mark met at a hair show, both of them are professional artists in the world of hair. They currently work together at the same salon and for a haircare company—Mark as a creative director and Margo as an educator. "We thrive on food, travel, culture, fashion, and beauty—all of which inspire our work!"
They share a passion for creating beautiful things in their work, and it felt surreal for them to shift that focus toward building something beautiful for something as personal as their elopement. "We have worked together many times on photoshoots but [we’re] never the ones in front of the lenses," making this a new and exciting adventure.
They visit Palm Springs yearly, where Mark's family winters, making it the perfect destination to keep their elopement intimate and simple. "We both share a love of modern, minimal, natural elements, and also appreciate luxury and romance—Palm Springs is perfect." Their celebration featured a cocktail hour and vow exchange during dinner at Mr. Lyons, a classic and timeless venue that suits their love for martinis, steak, and elegant dining.
"We can't wait to romanticize this commitment and share an evening with a few of our favorite people."
Margo and Mark were most excited about spending time with their closest friends and family. They also understood the importance of capturing these moments and very much wanted to “get some dope photos that we can have for life to hold onto the memory of the day."
