Outside of the emotional impact, the day also included long hikes with gear and props and only prosecco and macaroons as nourishment along the way. We leaned into the views surrounding us and used a warm toned palette to set the scene for the intimate picnic. The table was constructed from scratch to allow for a more custom look and we paired it with patterned rugs and large pillows to bring some cozy vibes to the outdoor setting. The table featured stone-textured dinnerware and linens that complimented the color of the clay surrounding us.

With smaller details including broken clay place cards and plenty of candles and lanterns, the tablescape complimented the relaxed and “at home” feeling that accompanied this sweet couple.
While we may have had to fight the canyon winds for both the photographers and videographer the entirety of the afternoon, it was a small price to pay for the sweetest sunset ceremony in the evening. And as the moon rose over the canyon and we made the hike back to the car, we all found ourselves content with exhaustion and ready for a good margarita to round out the celebration.
