Engagement Session Romance in the Desert…

Jacqualine and Brandon have such a sweet love story! It begins while on vacation in San Diego at Paradise Point. Unbeknownst to Jacqualine, a few of her friends also traveled to San Diego to help Brandon complete his proposal plans to perfection! Candles were placed out along the beach … I can just see it now…something out of a movie, this perfect guy planning this amazing proposal!…okay, back to the story…then out walks Jacqulaine, Brandon surprises Jacqualine romantically asks for her hand in marriage and the rest is history! The waves crash, the seagulls soar and fireworks light up the sky, love is in the air…well, I’m sure it felt that way anyway, amazing and magical all at the same time!

From that point on it’s been fun loving adventures with one another and their kids. They enjoy going to music festivals and concerts (we are living in the land of Coachella and Stagecoach!), hanging out with their beautiful children, watching Game of Thrones…of course living in Palm Springs it’s pool time in the Summer for them and Mountain adventures in the Winter.

Lastly, I must not leave out the Renaissance Faire! They LOVE attending the yearly festival. PLUS, Isn’t Jacqualine totally the perfect gal for that. Think…boho/chic/long gorgeous hair/Rapunzel vibe. I can definitely see them having a blast.

Our engagement session was the desert version of romance, laughter, style and complete lost in his eyes kinda love.

Take a peek at their engagement session photos!
