If you’re within reasonable road-tripping distance to sand dunes, let us just say, they make such a fantastic engagement shoot or portrait sesh locale. Proof: Aaron + Vanessa’s e-sesh with Deer Lovers at Algodones Sand Dunes. You’d never guess it was 110 degrees that day, either!
Anna of Deer Lovers recaps, We roadtripped out there with them to the Algodones Sand Dunes on one of the hottest days of the year and spent the afternoon hiking up and taking photos of them gallivanting around the sand dunes in 110 degree heat. I have to say, they absolutely killed it. We ended the night shaking the sand from our hair and double-dating it at In ‘n Out for dinner. These two are truly magical. We have been privileged to spend the last few years with them and see their love grow deeper and sweeter. Their tenderness towards each other is so real and they are so much fun together! They make our job so easy—capturing their affection is so natural.
Love the contrast of the black and white against the sand.
Their story, c/o Vanessa… Aaron and I almost skipped getting engagement photos done and I’m so glad we didn’t! After 8 years of dating we didn’t have any professional photos together so this made it that much sweeter and really got us excited for our wedding. Anna and Andrew of Deer Lovers have been our friends for years so it was no question that we would have them their for our big day and when we asked them to do our engagement shoot we knew it had to be out in the sand dunes because we really wanted something different and adventurous. It was so fun exploring these huge mountains of sand and I wouldn’t want to hike in 105 degree heat with anyone else!
Congrats you two!
