We’ve been looking forward to sharing Cynthia + Brad’s elopement for a little while now. These two crazy cats didn’t tell anyone they were tying the knot, so we had to keep it on the hush hush for a bit. It was well worth the wait though. It’s incredibly intimate, the photos captured by Rad + In Love are gorgeous, and their video documentation is extremely touching and emotional. If it doesn’t make you want to elope we don’t know what will…
We wanted our wedding to reflect our spiritual and vegan values. Our ceremony was a blend of our spiritual path A Course in Miracles, Native American traditions, and traditional and self-written vows. Because we are vegan, the food and clothing needed to be cruelty-free, free of any animal products. The location was a famous “green” house in the desert where we could meditate and celebrate in peace and love with each other and the environment.
They’ve shared their entire love story on their wedding website. Check it out here.
So in love with their wedding video…
We knew we wanted our wedding ceremony to be just between the two of us and our adopted dog Kansas, who turns nine years old on May 25th, but we also knew that we wanted to share the day with our family and friends in the form of a video. Brad has been making videos for nearly fifteen years. We chose Joshua Tree for its natural beauty and serenity. It was the perfect backdrop to our story. A short two-hour drive from Los Angeles, it feels worlds away. Every shot of Kansas was him just being his natural self–no direction needed! He knew it was a special day.
