Spanish Desert Moroccan Wedding Ideas from Ashley LaPrade Photography


For most creative entrepreneurs in the wedding industry we get to do whatever the lovely couple wants, which is so much fun. It is also fun to put together a styled shoot with real couples, and an out-of-the-box concept to create a collection of photographs that show off the talents of other local creative entrepreneurs. This allows us all to create with our hands, the vision we hope to serve to future couples. Not to mention how fun it is collaborating and getting the creative juices flowing. 

We envisioned a romantic succulent garden with Moroccan and Spanish accents to create an intimate, romantic, and colorful palette. We started off with a real couple that got married in a courthouse, but always wanted beautiful wedding photos. For Carmen and Antonio putting together a styled shoot for them, was the perfect way to get beautiful wedding photos for them. All of the local vendors pitched in to make it special for the two of them. They even got their own private dinner and cake with champagne too! Being able to give back to our local community, especially to a couple that have served in the armed forces, it feels good when everyone wins! 

With Greenery being the official 2017 Pantone color of the year, it's no surprise that we incorporated beautiful pastel and luscious greens. Why not get creative with your color palette and add some pinks and purples to the mix! -Ashley LaPrade Photography
