Joshua Tree Engagement Photos

Joshua Tree National Park is one of my favorite locations for engagement sessions in California and I’ve been lucky enough to visit dozens of times with couples who travel from all over the world to see it. Although the park has such a familiar feeling to me now, I am blown away at how diverse the landscape is and how I somehow find a new favorite corner every time I visit! If you’re interested in taking engagement photos or even getting married here, I highly recommend booking enough time to explore a few different spots in the park so you can really take it all in.

Below are a few highlights from different sessions I’ve photographed in Joshua Tree over the years. If there’s a particular set of photos that speak to you, I’d be happy to share the full gallery upon inquiring!


Amanda + Jordan

These two love national parks so after getting engaged at Mt. Ranier National Park, Amanda decided to propose back to Jordan during their trip to Joshua Tree. We got up early to catch the sunrise and explore the park before Amanda picked the perfect moment for their engagement.

Mykee + Hana

A beautiful evening with these two spent exploring some of Joshua Tree’s most iconic locations. With 3 different outfits we captured such a fun variety of photos for their engagement session!

Patrick and Courtney

Patrick proposed to Courtney during the first day of their trip to Joshua Tree and surprised her with a session with me the next day to take their engagement photos. I loved this approach to a surprise proposal so much - they got to have a private moment together for the actual proposal, but still got to take photos while they were newly engaged and that excitement was at an all time high!

Bernadette + John 

Bernadette and John booked me for their wedding in Colorado and they traveled to Joshua Tree from New Mexico to ring in the new year and do their engagements with me! They’re national park lovers so it was super fun to explore this beautiful place with them and capture this time in their relationship. They have such a sweet connection and couldn’t stop giggling the whole time which made for the cutest photos that really feel like THEM.

Emily and Nate
