This Indian Canyon engagement session had a classic car, vintage aesthetics and California vibes – what more could you ask for when celebrating your love to your new fiancé? This session felt like something out of a Hollywood movie, and I am living for it!

Mallory and Albert’s Indian Canyon Engagement Photoshoot

Albert and Mallory have been together since middle school and we all actually grew up going to school together. I went to school with Albert since elementary school and Mallory since middle school. It was definitely a blast from the past seeing them and being able to capture these engagement photos for them!

When Mallory first reached out I was very excited to be considered as their wedding photographer. She explained how she loved the photos from the styled shoot I put together earlier this year at the windmills in Palm Springs and wanted to do something similar for their engagement photos.

This was super exciting for me as I always love when clients have a vision for their images they are trusting me to capture and create for them. After booking me for their wedding we went straight to planning mode, I gave them a few dates I had available for the rest of the year.

Additionally, I was able to coordinate with Coachella Valley Classic Cars to rent a vintage car to incorporate into their Indian Canyon engagement session. The whole planning process was very smooth and when the shoot day came along Mallory and Albert brought their A-Game.

Their outfits fit the aesthetic and vibe perfectly. Mallory even made a small bouquet for herself out of baby’s breath. All the details tied together perfectly and the shoot went great. We had such a great time, catching up and reminiscing about our childhoods. I was so happy to be able to capture their love and giving them a little preview of what to expect when working with me on their big day. I’m so excited to capture their wedding come next year!
