Went out to shoot Sarah and Joseph’s engagement session in Joshua Tree during sunset. As we got closer to our meeting space the cloud got smoky and I realized there was a fire nearby. Scared that it would ruin the photos, I pulled up expecting the sky to look grey or black.. but instead the smoke made the sunset look better in Joshua Tree! Their engagement photos had a background with a beautiful orange glow.

Starting off their session with casual outfits, I could tell that this session was going to be super fun! Sarah and Joseph are so fun to work with and made shooting a breeze! I felt like i was taking photos of friends instead of clients.

Sarah brought a hat as an accessory which went well with the Joshua Tree desert landscape. Their blue and black outfits were also a great contrast to the orange and green background of this desert area.

Next up they changed to their formal attire in which they looked absolutely STUNNING!!! Sarah changed into a long, flowy yellow/golden dress and Joseph changed into a light blue shirt and dark blue dress pants. This color scheme went so well with each other! I loved how it made them pop out against the Joshua Tree landscape background for their engagement photos. The smoke plus their outfits made for THE best Joshua Tree sunset engagement photos.

As the sun began to set even lower the sky got more and more beautiful and Sarah’s dress meshed SO WELL with the colors of the sky. Scroll down to see how well these two dressed for their Joshua Tree sunset engagement photos.
