Under the vast skies of Joshua Tree National Park, Alec and Angel shared an engagement session that was as unique and heartwarming as their very own love story! With the desert’s natural beauty as their backdrop, this session wasn’t just about taking photos; it was about celebrating their engagement that would soon lead them to Thailand for their destination wedding. Have fun swooning over these photos as much as I have! 

A Celebration of Love and Heritage

From the moment Alec and Angel stepped in front of the lens, their connection was undeniable. There was no need for posed moments; their genuine affection and spontaneous laughter did all the work! They included lots of personal touches and wanted 35mm film (MY FAVE!) to add a creative and nostalgic element to their session. 

The Beauty of Joshua Tree National Park 

Joshua Tree National Park, with its iconic landscapes and ethereal light, was the perfect setting for their engagement session. These two wanted a unique, beautiful landscape for their photos, so of course my home base fit the bill. Not only that, but the park’s natural beauty complemented Alec and Angel’s vibrant personalities so well, resulting in an engagement album that felt so THEM! 

A Session to Remember

Alec and Angel’s engagement session was a beautiful reminder of what makes love so special. It’s the shared glances, the laughter, and the way two people can be entirely themselves, yet perfectly in harmony. I am honored to have been a part of their journey and cannot wait to see the beauty their future holds!

If you’re in need of engagement photos that showcase your love and personality, you’re in the right place!
