A Serene Joshua Tree Elopement

Modern lovers in the embrace of untamed nature

Elizabeth Pishal

When two creatives meet each other it's always the beginning of something truly beautiful. For models Eva and Issac, their meeting sparked an extraordinary journey filled with a love for art, fashion, and most importantly, each other. Their bond, rich with genuine affection, has been beautifully documented through the lens of THE WED member, wedding photographer Elizabeth Pishal.

^{How We Met}

Our love story started before the global hit of the COVID-19 pandemic during our first year in college. We met on a school bus on the way to the Los Angeles Fashion District, for a fashion course field trip we both were signed up for, but were in two different class periods. From that day forward, we became friends at eighteen years old, and a couple months of friendship, escalated into our friends-to-lovers arc, as we like to call it. We bonded over music, fashion, travel, visual arts, cinema/film, and our angsty teenage thoughts. Almost five years later, we are twenty-three, still young and in love, graduated, traveling the world, continuously growing, and working towards achieving the dreams we used to talk about under the stars.

^{Our Shared Passion}

Our shared passion for the creative and visual arts have always been a big part of our relationship. We started modeling as a couple back in 2022 for a few photographer friends and was reached out by wedding photographers for styled shoots and personal branding shoots. Our couple's travel modeling journey began to pick up as we are now modeling part-time and diving into adventure travel and content creation. It has been a beautiful way to share our love for one another, continue to be inspired by other creatives in the industry, and combine our many creative passions and love for exploring the world.

^{The Concept}
