Molly + Evan just so happen to have the perfect desert style, so choosing Giant Rock in Landers, California for their engagement session was pret-ty ideal for showcasing their stylish personalities and love for each other. On the day of their shoot, Molly wore two fun dresses (above from Free People + below from Madewell) and they piled into their photographer, Sheri of Tangerine Tree Photography‘s, car and took a little road trip, stopping along the way at some of their favorite iconic desert spots!
Evan says, We met in a bar. I know what you’re thinking; bartender charms his way into getting a phone number and the rest is history. Not the case. I worked the daytime shift on Wednesdays, hauling around liquor and stocking shelves when I met Molly. That afternoon, my friend and coworker Gia happened to stop by the office to grab her paycheck. She entered the hallway followed by another girl who was wearing a Biggie Smalls shirt, I’ll never forget that. I immediately stopped what I was doing to greet them. My attraction to her was instantaneous. I was introduced to Molly, and I mostly remember that moment as the first time I saw her smile. I soon came to find that behind her beautiful smile is an intelligent, confident, an generous soul. Her love for life is contagious. Almost five years have passed since we first met and I couldn’t be more thrilled to learn what the future has in store for us.
We love Palm Springs! It is our happy place. There is something in the air there that makes life that much better. We have vacationed there since we met, got engaged at the Korakia Pensione (also featured in our Top 26 Coolest Places to Get Married), so naturally we had to do engagement photos in the desert.
We seriously love it! Thank you so much to Sheri, Molly + Evan for sharing this shoot with us today!
