Kendie and Jeremy, oh what a lovely pair! Truly made for one another. Some couples really compliment each other and show how opposites attract, yet these two are more similar than different. They have so much in common and support one another fully. It was so evident that they are not only in love, but also the best of friends.
They met on a desert trip (omg! Meant to be!) and are all about adventures and outdoors and exploring- my kind of people! They describe themselves as “desert souls.” So when they reached out and said they wanted to do a desert engagement session I was fully on board. I don’t know if they were more stoked on me as their photographer, or if I was more stoked for this awesome desert adventure with this even more awesome couple.
Let me set the scene a bit. Due to Covid (boo!), we had to wait until June to be able to shoot in at the dunes. Now, June in the desert is hot hot hot! It was around 100 degrees- but oh so, so worth it. Dancing in the dunes, rolling and running and jumping, leaving our footprints- all totally worth the heat. Also, don’t even get me started on these dunes. The way the wind leaves little ripples, the way the dunes feel untouched like fresh snow, the vastness, the colors, the simplicity and elegance- absolutely breathtaking.
The entire shoot was amazing. These two lovebirds were the ideal clients, and the location simply added to the beauty of their relationship captured in this session. We were all on the same page, willing and courageous, and the product turned out beautiful! But I have to add one more thing, a little personal highlight- taking the jeep out into the sand dunes- well that made my Utah-dirt-loving-heart very, very happy. And to top it off some back lighting and bottle of champagne. Cheers to you, Kendie and Jeremy!
This engagement session is stunning! The sand dunes make an incredible backdrop for the shoot. And the lighting and tones are so beautiful!
You know what I realized while looking through these? I don’t think I’ve ever really been in the desert. Even still, I can feel the sand in the air and between my toes when I look at these. Beautiful.
Let me tell you that I have been capital OH, O-BSESSED with sand dune couple shoots and I was delighted looking through these images. I love the subdued tones, the texture, the atmosphere–all of it. So well done AHHH!! <3 Oh and the images with the Jeep WHAT–I love that touch.
Wow! This is so beautiful and you would never guess that you were in California! You have such an incredible variety, and it looks like they had so much fun during their session! I love it!
Wow! Your photos are stunning! You did incredible capturing their personalities in just an incredible setting!
omg these moody vibes are giving me life! loveee the ones of them jumping in the dunes, so fun!
Wow these photos are GORGEOUS! I absolutely love the ones of them jumping into the dunes, and that one from super far away – very moody and cinematic! I’m obsessed! I also adore how simple their outfits are. It really makes you focus on how much heat there is between them – no pun intended!
I looooove the images of them jumping down the dunes – it looks like they had such a blast and what a gorgeous location!
