When Amanda and Cyrus reached out to me about photographing their destination engagement photos in La Quinta I knew we would be a perfect fit! I love engagement sessions because you can always feel how giddy and excited the couple is about the new journey they are on. Amanda and Cyrus were no different and we had the best time together capturing these beautiful photos together.
Choosing The Right Location That Fits Your Vibe
Whether you are doing local or destination engagement photos it’s so important to pick a location that both you and your partner love. Think about what you both love to do together, bond over, or a spot that is sentimental to you that will add an extra touch to your engagement photos. Maybe your first date was at the beach, you have a secret spot you both love to visit together, or maybe a certain vibe you have always dreamed of. Keep scrollin’ to see how we brought Amanda & Cyrus’s vision to life!
Amanda & Cyrus’s Engagement Photo Vision
Amanda and Cyrus are self proclaimed homebodies so they knew they wanted to incorporate some cozy photos at home cooking, cuddling, and playing with their dog. But, they didn’t want to do it in their own home. Amanda also loves the classic Palm Springs neighborhood photo vibes. So, they found the perfect Spanish style airbnb that also had a pool and cute decor in La Quinta.
We knew we had a lot of options on photo locations and I wanted to get all the visions they had been dreaming up. So we did! From in-home photos, pool photos, and neighborhood photos with lots of outfit changes! Getting a gorgeous airbnb allows you to have endless options when it comes to photos. Just look at how many different vibes these two got!
How To Prep For Your Engagement Photoshoot
Once you have a rough idea of what you think you want your engagement photos to look like, head over to Pinterest and start creating a board. Think of poses you like, outfits, backdrops, and locations. This will help you hone in your vision but also help me better understand it as well! Then once we have nailed down the exact vision you want, it’s time to pick a location, and start creating your outfits.
