Palm Springs Tram Engagement Session | Ryan + Courtney

This past weekend, Courtney + Ryan came down from Canada to get some fun wedding planning in while on vacation (catering taste tests, meeting with florists – you know, all that fun stuff!) and while they were down, we got to spend an afternoon with them! It was so great to finally meet them face-to-face, since we had only had the chance to Skype so far due to the fact they’re planning a destination wedding. We took them over by the tram road, and it was glorious – the sun was shining, the creosotes are starting to bloom, and everything looked nice and green(ish) from the recent rainstorms we’ve had here in the desert. We couldn’t have asked for better weather!

We knew this was a great spot to take them, since they’re both outdoorsy types (and they really wanted to enjoy our nice Southern California weather before heading back up to still-in-winter Canada!). Plus, being outdoors on a little mini-hike was a little extra special because it was a little reminiscent of their incredible proposal story. You see, last year around this time, they came down for a little vacation here in Palm Springs and while out on a hike, Ryan asked a passerby to snap a photo of them on his phone and while the stranger was taking their picture – Ryan got down on one knee and proposed to Courtney (which probably shocked the heck out of that guy taking their picture, right?!)!

Super sweet and romantic!!!

And seeing them together, in person – it’s not surprising that Ryan would be so romantic. These two are the most adorable couple ever, we just loved being around them! They were always laughing and smiling, popping open a bottle of red wine, enjoying a glass out in the middle of the desert (because that’s just how we do, haha!), toasting to love and happiness and the rest of their lives.

We can’t wait for their wedding this October, we just know it’s going to be so beautiful and romantic!!!
