Sunrise Engagement Session in Joshua Tree National Park | Catie and Jeffery

Catie and Jeffrey are a long-distance couple who inquired about engagement photos in Joshua Tree National Park! Catie was visiting Jeffrey in Twentynine Palms for a brief couple of days, and they wanted to capture their love story during this exciting time. They chose to have their session at sunrise which is always a favorite time for me!

As expected, the tranquility of the early morning glow was the perfect backdrop for such a special session. Catie and Jeffery showed up excited and clearly so in love with one another. I take a documentary-style approach to capturing love stories, and they trusted the process the entire way through. They were present with one another and their chemistry was evident in every frame. The way they look at each other makes me swoon… see for yourself!

Here is what Catie had to say about the experience, “I truly recommend Destiny as a photographer. She was super helpful every step of the way starting with just questions to the very last photo. During the photo shoot, she made taking photos as normal and fun as possible, which I appreciated. All of those things are just about how nice she is not to mention how well the photos turned out. I was visiting my fiancé for only 3 days when we got these done and she sent a sneak peek the same day, which allowed us to look at the photos together. I am so so grateful! I highly recommend Destiny.”

Knowing that Catie and Jeffrey had limited time together, I made sure to send sneak peeks of their session the same day! As a military spouse, I understand how meaningful the time you have with your significant other is, especially after time apart. I’m so happy that they were able to see the images together, and relieve the beautiful moments they had shared just hours before.

Catie and Jeffrey's sunrise session captured their love, their unique connection, and the promise of a beautiful future together. It was a reminder that love transcends distance and time, and that beautiful moments in time should be captured and treasured forever.
