Dana Schwartz and Justin Hollar eloped at Amangiri—and proved that a breathtaking wedding doesn't require a formal affair or a long weekend celebration.
in 2014 in New York City at a downtown bar and restaurant."When we met, I knew instantly he was going to be an important person in my life. I wouldn’t call it love at first sight, but I knew we had a deep connection," Schwartz recalls. And while it wasn't technically"love at first sight" for Justin either, he remembers her immediate impact on how he looked at the world, despite his spending his entire career figuring out exactly how to capture the world on camera.
The two are opposites in the best ways;"I don't stop talking and Justin would prefer to listen. I'm high-strung and Justin is always cool. We make each other belly laugh on a daily basis," Dana says. As for the more reserved Justin, he credits Dana with helping him open his mind to new adventures and possibilities:"She’s much more adventurous then I am.
Like their proposal, the couple decided that their wedding should also include a trip, and be just the two of them. And while their plan was originally to elope and follow their private ceremony with a more formal reception in New York, they ended up simply eloping, making the moment sentimental and meaningful wherever opportunity allowed.
As for the location of their ceremony,"We wanted it to be somewhere very unique and special," Dana explained."We both love the desert, and so it felt very fitting to get married somewhere in the Southwest. We emailed6 weeks out, on the off-chance they had availability. They had one room left. We decided to make a mini road trip out of it so stopped along the way and camped just outside Zion National Park for two nights before making our way to the hotel.
While you can take the fashion publicist and photographer out of the city, the two couldn't help but channel their strong suits when it came to planning their private event. Dana and Justin spent the day before their ceremony hiking and driving on Amangiri's 600 acres of previously designated national park, hoping to scout the perfect location for their ceremony.
