Palm Springs Engagement Photo Ideas by Emma Hopp
1. Outfit planning. Give yourself some different options. Plan your outfits together and ahead of time so that you know exactly what to wear and where. Maybe pick a casual outfit for some, and a dressier look for the rest. P.S. Don't forget your pants, fellas. Austin forgot his pants, but fortunately was able to borrow a pair of my brothers. 😂 Thanks Diego.
2. Pick a spot that means something to you. Austin and I have frequented the Ace hotel in Palm Springs every year since we started dating. We have had a ton of late nights laughing and talking around the property. We also go to the desert a lot to visit family. So choosing these spots as our photo destination made it feel a little more effortless, put us both in our element you could say.
3. Props! Although we did not include props, Emma had made a great suggestion that if we wanted to pop a bottle of champagne, or set up some sort of vignette we could incorporate that. So if you and your lover are big on having picnics, setting up a cute blanket, a lantern, and snacks could go really well.
