We took these Joshua tree engagement photos to another level. Boho desert photos aren’t exactly our niche. So adding a modern vision truly elevated this session. There is definitely something extra special about engagement photos in Southern California. We are here to share the possibilities Joshua Tree has in its aesthetic and overall vibe.
Yvonne and Danielle were an absolute dream couple! We could not have been more excited to take their engagement photos in the desert. The idea behind this Joshua tree engagement session was to create breathtaking editorial-style engagement photos that unwrapped the love story our couple share. We shared the same goal of creating a timeless look with their photos. Something that they will love for years to come.
Yvonne & Danielle’s Joshua tree engagement photos
Yvonne and Danielle’s Joshua tree engagement photos are the perfect blend of our editorial and effortless moments photography style. They chose a location and outfits that matched their modern yet elegant vibe. Yvonne and Danielle set themselves up for an effortless upscale editorial engagement session in the desert.
We always encourage our couples to do something fun together. It allows them to loosen up and gives us the opportunity to capture natural moments we cherish. Yvonne and Danielle’s elevated style brought a designer feel to this shoot. All while their playfulness and natural movement with one another felt whimsical and charming.
The couple enjoyed dancing around the Airbnb and seeking out unique locations the Airbnb had to offer. Throughout the day we captured them cozying up in bed, drinking champagne, swimming, and even cutting up some delicious watermelon! We wrapped their Joshua tree engagement photos by soaking in the golden hour of the desert – it was breathtaking!
Engagement photos in the desert
For some time now Joshua Tree has been prominently known for having a boho aesthetic. Of course, the cacti trees and desert setting are ideal elements for this free-spirited style. We are here to break these boundaries and bring forth more of the editorial aspect of Joshua Tree. We think there is an immense amount of potential with Joshua Tree and are ready to get behind the lens for some dreamy California engagement photos in Joshua Tree again!
Keep in mind, your Joshua Tree engagement photographer should be willing to work with you and the elements, sessions in the desert can be tough! But, with a skilled photographer who knows the area and style well, you’ll have an incredible and unforgettable Joshua Tree engagement session.
Many of Joshua Tree’s Airbnb’s offer excellent modern and editorial styles, we may be in the desert but you do not need boho vibes to get the most out of your Joshua Tree engagement photos! Yvonne and Danielle’s session is the perfect example of how Joshua Tree locations can fit your aesthetic and style – no matter what it is! If you lean more towards a classic or elegant style or even a sleek modern style, this vibe can be achieved in Joshua Tree! We encourage you to do what feels right and will work with you to figure out what the best location will be for your engagement photos in the desert.
