Palm Springs Windmill Engagement Session | Joanna + Reilly

Picture this: a couple in love, a desert oasis, and a whole lot of sunshine. That’s exactly what Joanna and Reilly, two lovebirds from Chicago, brought to Palm Springs for their engagement session. Their adventure started right at the doorstep of a hip boutique hotel in the heart of Palm Springs, The Alcazar.

Joanna and Reilly kicked off their engagement escapade by soaking in the vibes of their chic boutique hotel. Nestled against the palm-lined streets, the hotel’s trendy aesthetic provided the perfect starting point for capturing their love in a relaxed setting. From playful moments with bicycles to cozy embraces on the stairs, the couple set the tone for a day filled with laughter, love, and unforgettable memories.

Dressed in outfits that perfectly blended with the desert hues, we hit the streets of downtown Palm Springs. The vibrant atmosphere and retro charm of the town became an extension of their love story. With every step, they discovered hidden corners, and colorful backgrounds that added a touch of whimsy to their engagement photos.

No Palm Springs adventure is complete without a visit to the iconic windmills. As the day moseyed into the golden hour, Joanna and Reilly’s engagement session took on a magical quality. Against the warm glow of the setting sun, the couple reveled in the serenity of their love. Whether it was stealing kisses or sharing a laugh under the windmills, each moment became a snapshot of the genuine connection they shared. Palm Springs, with its sun-soaked charm, became not just a backdrop, but an integral part of the narrative of Joanna and Reilly’s whirlwind romance. Cheers to love, laughter, and unforgettable moments in the California desert!
