Palm Springs Engagement Pictures

Palm Springs Photographer: Lisandro Rivera Photography

Location: Palm Springs Windmills

We started this shoot at the Tahquitz Indian Canyons however we were promptly kicked out by the ranger. Luckily I always plan ahead and we moved on to plan B. Plan B was to take the engagement pictures by the Palm Springs Windmills. Gustavo and Elizabeth had planned for a vintage Palm Springs wedding and wanted their engagement session to reflect that. They brought with them a beautiful 1947 Plymouth that was fixed up really well. All photos are by Palm Springs Photographer Lisandro Rivera.

Amy and Chris’s Palm Springs Wedding

Amy and Chris’s Wedding at a Beautiful Palm Springs wedding venue: The Mission Hills Country Club in Palm Desert

Amy and Chris’s wedding was several years in the making. Amy and Chris met several years ago, they were friends for a while then they went their separate ways. As destiny would have it, they ran into each other and reconnected. During a trip to Hawaii Chris and Amy’s love blossomed and they were engaged. It is evident how much Chris loves Amy and Harlow (Amy’s daughter). During the wedding ceremony Chris dropped to a knee and asked Harlow to be his daughter, she said yes and gave Chris a huge hug. At that moment my eyes started sweating ;).

We were blessed with some beautiful skies that night. The wedding pictures we captured are beautiful. This is one of the reasons that although Amy and Chris live in the bay area they chose a Palm Springs wedding venue. As a Palm Springs wedding photographer I knew that Amy really wanted to see the beautiful sky in her wedding pictures and that is why we use the best lighting system. I love natural light photography but you can’t get those beautiful skies without using great lighting. I can say that Amy and Chris loved their wedding pictures.

We have several Palm Springs Venues here that are great for destination weddings however the Mission Hills Country club has been recently redesigned and offers great views of the San Jacinto mountains. They have a wonderful wedding coordinator named Tiffani Johnston. She is very knowledgeable and will help you plan your perfect Palm Springs Wedding.

Sandy’s Search for the the Right Wedding Photographer

I met Sandy about 2 years ago in Palm Springs, when I met her she had recently been married. When I told her I was a wedding photographer, she approached me about how much she disliked her wedding images and if I could please retouch them. I explained to her that I do not edit other photographer’s images but that I would take a look at them. When she showed them to me, I could tell that her wedding photographer was someone that lacked experience. A lot of the images were out of focus, too dark, or too bright. There were some images that were great, the problem is that they were few and far between. Sandy and her husband looked amazing, you could see the love and emotion in their eyes, but it did not show in her images.

I offered to do a “wedding photography redo”, she would get back into her wedding dress and he into his suit to take pictures of the “wedding day”. She loved the idea so much that we even did an engagement session redo.

Sandy loved the Palm Springs windmills and the overall feel of the city so we planned a Palm Springs wedding and engagement.

The results were amazing! It turned out to be one of my favorite wedding shoots.

Sandy was elated with her new Palm Springs wedding pictures. Sandy had an open mind and was pushing me for creative wedding pictures and we delivered.

Getting creative with wedding photography

On the day of the shoot Sandy called me very worried that it was cloudy and gloomy and that she was looking to reschedule. I told her that they sky was perfect and that it would lend itself to even more creative wedding pictures. She was hesitant but trusted in me so we continued as planned.

During the shoot I showed her a few of the images from my camera to ease her mind about the clouds. Once she saw the results she relaxed and began to have fun.

Thanks for having the confidence in me and believing in my vision Sandy.
