I’m really impressed with Phil, the bride, and how she prepared for her and Archie’s engagement photo session. Joshua Tree engagements have become popular in Southern California, but Phil wanted to make hers a little different. With the help of Florals By Isabelle who made her epic, dried-floral bouquet, Little Brown Suitcase who created the custom jackets for them, and Phil’s natural talent as a makeup artist (Beauty Philly), this engagement session was spiced up. Not to mention, the color coordination of these outfits, which are *insert fire emoji here* against Joshua Tree’s beautiful landscape. Jaw-dropped. Every day in the desert is beautiful, but the sunset that night was special. Depending on where you stand after the sun has dipped, you can enjoy that little bit of cotton candy sky.

I always like to ask about the proposal story, and I ADORE Archie’s elaborate plan to propose to Phil during cherry blossom blooming week in Japan. Phil shared that they were traveling in Tokyo with friends, where Archie planned to propose at a park in front of the cherry blossom trees. But since the trees had blossomed early, they were barren by the time they arrived and Archie instead proposed in front of the Meiji Shrine.. I guess I like to hear these stories because it tells me a little about how you are as a couple! I love how easy-going and calm Archie and Phil’s demeanor remains. They don’t take life too seriously. It makes things more fun.
