Brooke and Ashlee’s love story is one that can be described as nothing short of electrifying! When they met on a work trip in Austin, Texas back in 2017, they knew in a split second that they were meant to be together. From that moment on, these two lovebirds have been inseparable, and they have found a special place in their hearts for Palm Springs.
Read on to see all the cute and surprising details of this wedding photographed by Paula Richelle.
Palm Springs has always been a home away from home for Brooke and Ashlee. They love the warm desert air, the beautiful colors, and the healing energy of this magical oasis. When it came time to choose a wedding destination, Palm Springs was the obvious choice.
From brides: “The outdoors plays a big role in our daily lives, so getting married outside, in the magic of the desert felt right for us. Palm Springs, in particular, holds a special place in our hearts. Few people take the time to appreciate that Palm Springs is a natural oasis!
We put together a shrine showcasing all of our queer or queer ally heroes namely Elton John, Bilie Jean King, Megan Rapinoe, Dolly Parton, Ruth Bader Ginsburg and Ellen.”
But that’s not all! Their wedding was filled with unexpected surprises and unforgettable moments. The highlight of the night was a surprise drag appearance by their friends, who came out in drag and led everyone in a beautiful conga line. It was a moment that had everyone laughing, dancing, and feeling the love.
Advice from the couple:
• We recommend that couples really think through what they want the takeaway to be. We wanted to make people laugh, think, and feel. I think that we accomplished that on our wedding day.
