What to Wear for a Todos Santos Elopement
Desert heat, a strong Pacific breeze, cactus and surf, and enormous sunsets. What photographs well where the Baja desert meets the sea, with the climate built in.
You plan one outfit for a warm beach day.
Todos Santos runs from cactus desert to wild surf, hot by day and breezy by the sea.
Dress for the desert and the Pacific at once, and the light, flowing choice suits both beautifully.

The desert heat and the strong Pacific breeze reward lightweight, flowing fabric that moves in the wind, and a relaxed, unstructured silhouette suits both the cactus desert and a barefoot beach ceremony. Heavy structured gowns fight the heat, the wind, and the town's bohemian spirit.
Light and flowing for the heat

Colour against desert and sea
Against the golden desert, the green cactus, and the dramatic surf and sunset, ivory and warm earth tones read cleanly, and a soft natural colour suits the artist-town character. Flowing fabric catches the wind and the sunset light for motion in every frame.
Test the outfit for the heat and the wind first, and let me plan the session around the sunset. Because I film as well as shoot, fabric that moves in the Pacific breeze earns its place twice. Twelve years and 240+ couples in, the couples who dressed for the desert coast looked effortless on it.
