Sample Timeline for Alabama Hills
At Alabama Hills in the Eastern Sierra, because the desert light changes so quickly, it’s essential to have a timeline that flows with the light, terrain, and your vision for the day.
No long guest list. No pressure. Just you, your person, and the wild heart of the Eastern Sierra. Sounds like your kind of wedding day?
You’re not here for the stuffy ballroom or crowded aisles. If that sounds stressful, you’re in the right place. Imagine exchanging vows in the stunning desert landscape, with breathtaking rock formations and a beautiful sunset casting warm hues over the sandy dunes, just the two of you.
The Eastern Sierra is for dreamers and adventurers—think glowing granite cliffs, sparkling lakes, and the blissful absence of cell service. If you want a day centered around your love story, we’ve got you covered.
We help couples ditch the traditional wedding chaos for a breathtaking sunrise hike or a cozy lakeside picnic. From location scouting to permits, we provide personalized support, no cookie-cutter solutions here.
Picture this: the sun rising over Mammoth’s peaks, your boots crunching on a quiet trail, vows whispered beside turquoise waters. Just you two, fully present.
That’s the magic of an Eastern Sierra elopement. Let’s make it happen together.
