Calling all Twilight fans! Recognize somebody in this shoot? Yep, it’s Cam Gigandet and his (ridiculously adorable) fiancé, Dominique. It’s always fun to tag along on a celeb engagement shoot and we’re super excited to feature this free-spirited duo’s Salvation Mountain + Salton Sea session today! If you can’t already tell, Dom + Cam are stylish, laid-back + totally in love. Let’s hear a bit more about the two of them and their awesome shoot locations from Kelly of Wild Whim Design + Photography:
I have been photographing these two and their adorable kids, Ever + Rekker, for the last few years and when Dom got ahold of me with the news they were finally ready to make this wedding thing a reality, I knew Salvation Mountain and the Salton Sea were the perfect fit. The long drive was well worth it as we had a blast exploring the area and making some incredible images together.
Salvation Mountain is pretty unbelievable! Have any of you readers been?!
Yep, we heart Dom’s boho style!
Later the trio moved to a nearby abandoned warehouse for some more fun shots!
And at dusk, the Salton Sea couldn’t have been more idyllic. Such a perfect way to end a perfect shoot! :)
See more of these guys (because why wouldn’t you want to!?!) in their sweet engagement video!
Best wishes to Dominique + Cam and thanks to Wild Whim for the pretty, pretty photos! We can’t wait to share their wedding this fall. :)

Such an amazing shoot with a beautiful couple! She’s got incredible style, I’d love to know where she got her fringe boots!
Wow!! This is absolutely stunning!! What an amazing location! Gorgeous pictures!!
Love this photo shoot idea. It’s fun and sweet. Then they take it to the beach and it’s the perfect fun and romantic place. Everything was well done!
Awesome work. And to answer your question, yes, I have been there. Live about 40 minutes away :) Who came up with there idea?
Love this!! I just stopped there while on a month-long road trip and imagined a beautiful free-spirit shoot like this. And the Salton Sea photos look like sooo dreamy…
Major congrats to this photographer, such a beautiful bunch of images, the couple must have been thrilled.
Spectacular pictures! So modern and fresh. And the couple is awesome! I mean it, I’ve seen lots of wedding pics since we started to plan our wedding last month. Most of the pics are same – park, beach, restaurant. And this!! This photographer is something unique.
Wow, there’s an affection between certain couples that just makes you feel great about being alive. This photo and video footage by Kelly captures that special dynamic between these two perfectly. Fresh, fun, sweet, stylish, captivating. Makes me want to talk my husband into getting married all over again, just so we can have such an awesome photo shoot. <3
Wow! im really loving the graffiti images and pics.
thanks so much for this post! heading out there in two weeks to do an engagement shoot.
your shots were awesome! great work <3
