Last Saturday Amanda and Tim invited us out to Joshua Tree National Park to photograph their engagement session. The drive from Long Beach to Joshua Tree National Park located near Coachella valley wasn't too far.  And when arrived we were able to enjoy beautiful desert views, Joshua Trees, and cactii strewn across the landscape of the park.   The couple are avid hikers and wanted to incorporate their love of nature into their engagement session.

We had a chance to get to know the couple on our short hike out to Barker Dam, and found them to be a very kind and fun couple to hang out with.  They are a very photogenic and wonderful couple to work with.  We were able to capture the couple in the afternoon Sun along the mini oasis in Barker Dam.  As the Sun began to set, we photographed the couple just off one of the main roads, and incorporated the far off mountains, and Joshua Tree filled landscape.   Golden hour is relatively short during the fall, but we were able to incorporate it's colors into our photos.  Congratulations Amanda and Tim on your engagement, best wishes on all the upcomping wedding planning.
