Arin and Chase were visiting Palm Springs all the way from Chicago, but they were not just here to soak in the sun and desert views. They also planned an engagement session, and I was lucky enough to be their photographer.

My day started with a scenic drive to the park. I got a little chance to get to know them and their story while we walked to different locations in the park, surrounded by towering rocky formations, twisted Joshua Trees, and wide-open golden landscapes. The golden light of the late afternoon sun was the perfect backdrop for Arin and Chase’s engagement session. We captured some beautiful moments as they laughed, danced, and shared some sweet moments.

One of the best parts of an engagement session is seeing each couple’s unique personality and energy. Arin and Chase were engaging and fun, with natural chemistry between them that was a pleasure to photograph. It was wonderful to watch them move through the desert landscape, enjoying each other’s company. It was an honor to spend the evening with these two, capturing their love story. Congratulations to you two, and I hope you have a beautiful destination wedding next year.
