Hannah + Dillion
What is it about Palm Springs? Could it be that constant sunshine, the desert hues, or the freedom of exploring a landscape that feels miles away from others? Palm Springs offers couples an opportunity to fully invest in their engagement session and feel truly themselves, away from the busyness and pressures of life. If Palm Springs has been on your list as an engagement session location (or any photoshoot), there are truly incredible options at every turn of the road.
Hannah and Dillion’s style is timeless and modern all at the same time. Neutral tones, hats to complement, and the natural elements of Palm Springs made for stunning images that will stand the test of time, much like the love I was honored to witness between these two.
Suggestions for photoshoots in Palm Springs:
Bring a coat! During the day the temperature in Palm Springs and the desert can be toasty, but once the sun falls behind the mountains it gets chilly.
Take an all-wheel or four-wheel drive vehicle. You never know what you can find just a little ways off the road.
Make reservations for dinner after your photoshoot. I always encourage my couples to turn their photoshoot day into a date. Treat yourselves — you deserve it! I would be happy to recommend a few spots.
With Love,
Lauren
