A couple kissing against a pastel sunset with Joshua Trees blurred in the background in Joshua Tree National Park. Taken by Thea Valerie Photography.

The sun dipped low over the pink-hued boulders of Joshua Tree National Park, casting everything in a golden glow that felt almost otherworldly. It was the perfect setting for Katie and Sean’s engagement session—a quiet, windswept desert lit like a scene straight out of a romantic film.

Katie and Sean are one of those couples who are quietly crazy about each other. Though a little camera shy at first, their connection quickly took over. I had them wander hand-in-hand amongst the brush, clamber up rock formations, and dance beneath the sky as it shifted from gold to muted pastels. Despite the chill in the air, Sean kept Katie close, wrapping her in his arms between shots—moments that needed no staging to feel genuine.

That sunset didn’t just light up the desert—it set the perfect tone for a session filled with laughter, tenderness, and the kind of love you can feel without a single word. As the light faded and the air turned colder, it felt like the perfect way to mark the beginning of this new chapter for Katie and Sean.
