Joshua Tree Airbnb Wedding

Hannah and Wataru’s wabi sabi elopement in Joshua Tree, CA.

The couple originally wanted to elope however, ended up planning a larger wedding for their family’s sake. "When Covid hit and we had to postpone our June wedding, we decided that we would take an unfortunate situation and make a perfect opportunity to get creative; finding ways to create a formal feel with a non-traditional approach."

"With all the virtual weddings and us just wanting to get married, we took a hold of the opportunity by recruiting a handful of friends to help us plan. Many parts of our day were spontaneous.”
