Dominique & Chase | Funky Wedding at Moorten Botanical Garden

Some weddings just have that vibe—where every detail feels like an extension of the couple’s soul. Dominique and Chase’s Palm Springs wedding was exactly that. It was vibrant, stylish, and effortlessly cool, just like them.

The day started with a private vow exchange at the Palm Springs Art Museum. Just the two of them, standing among the sculptures, sharing promises only they could hear. It was quiet, intimate, and so them.

From there, they made their way to Moorten Botanical Garden for a ceremony surrounded by towering cacti, catching the last of that golden-hour light. The setting was wild yet romantic, the perfect contrast to their sleek, fashion-forward wedding looks. They said I do in front of their closest people—and their sweet pup, who was truly the star of the show.

And then came the party.

Mr. Lyons set the stage for their funky reception dinner, complete with the coolest signage designed by the bride herself. Dominique, an incredible graphic designer, left her mark on every detail, from the invitation suite to the seating chart to the perfectly styled menus. The vibe? Pure Palm Springs glamour. The energy? The kind that makes you want to stay all night.

Dominique & Chase, your wedding was a masterpiece. I’m so grateful to have captured it all.
