Dallas & Dovi's Spiritual Jewish Desert Wedding at Rimrock Ranch, Joshua Tree

I dug into my robust archives to post this wonderfully spiritual Jewish wedding from 2017 that still remains as one of my favorites from my 8 years of documenting weddings.

Dallas & Dovi were married at the Rimrock Ranch in Pioneertown, Joshua Tree. They were surrounded by family & friends who travelled from all parts of the world, especially South Africa where Dovi originated. It was important for them to include their faith and incorporate Jewish wedding traditions (ie: the Tish/Bedeken where men and women congregate before the ceremony, the Ketubah signing, and the marriage ceremony) into their wedding day, and to interpret them in ways that were meaningful to them both Dallas and Dovi.

I’m a Los Angeles-based photojournalistic wedding photographer who shoots documentary-style digital and film photos for weddings throughout California and destination weddings around the world.

"I want to thank you for an amazing experience this past weekend. You were a pleasure to work with and you made the wedding even more special for us. I was telling one of my colleagues in the lab about the wedding and was bragging about how cool our photographer was and she tried to convince me that her wedding photographer was way better — as it turns out, her photographer was also you!” - Dovi & Dallas
