A Summery Anniversary Shoot at The Ace Palm Springs

Who could forget this adorable vintage beach engagement session I posted last year? And then their wedding? Mer + Tim are just too cute! Well, it’s been a year since their wedding, so they took a honeyversary as they call it – which I love that name! – and spent a few days at one of my favorite hotels, the Ace Hotel + Swim Club in Palm Springs. And they decided to do a fun photoshoot while they were there. Love it!

We loved our engagement photos so much that we wanted to have a similar vibe with our latest shoot.  We shot our honeyversary photos with a tripod and wireless trigger, just like before, and of course we had to keep our retro flare!  We incorporated our love of the 50s 60s and 70s  and took inspiration from movies such as Gidget, Beach Party, and of course Palm Springs Weekend.  We found a really great vintage movie projector at a thrift store so we had to use that somehow…and I think it turned out to be so special.  I’m thinking this might be an annual tradition :)
