Joshua Tree engagement session | Airbnb engagement

Kevin + Gia’s e-sesh has the recipe for the perfect engagement shoot: an amazing outdoor locale, a cozy Airbnb, and flawless outfits for some killer formals. Even better, it was all a super cute surprise for the bride-to-be, who wowed in her bubblegum pink dress. Hear their story as you scroll on through Heirlume Photography‘s images below…

Joshua Tree engagement shoot at a desert airbnb

Their Airbnb location was Ting’s House in Joshua Tree, which has been home to some pretty amazing shoots.

Kevin tells it, The moment I saw her in the hallway at work, I knew I had to have her. Our love story began with an unassuming glimpse through a glass door that left me captivated. Though Gia and I work on the same floor at the same company, it took me three months to encounter her again. I suppose the second time is a charm because since that day, we have been inseparable. We are truly soulmates with a single heartbeat.

My wife loves Beyoncé almost as much as she loves me (no really… she has confirmed that if she had to choose only one of us, she’d choose me), so of course she fell in love with the footage of the amazing desert photo shoot the Carters did for the On The Run II tour. Her instant thought was that she’d love to do a desert shoot one day. My instant thought was to surprise her with a desert shoot for our engagement session.

So many cozy corners in this desert hideaway.

Joshua Tree engagement shoot in hot pink dress

I was able to book Pamela and Loretta from Heirlume Photography during our trip to the Palm Springs area. We had the most epic Joshua Tree photo shoot, which consisted of a casual indoor shoot at an eclectic Airbnb and a formal outdoor shoot in Joshua Tree National Park. These memories will be forever etched in our souls and displayed on our walls as a reminder of how pure and beautiful nature and love can be.”
