Blog post by Felicia:
During Sarah & Jeff’s engagement session, Jeff seemed really interested in Raul & Zelena’s engagement session under the stars in Joshua Tree, and had an extended discussion with Rob about astro photography.
It so happened that, on their wedding day, we mentioned that we were headed out to Death Valley for Chris & Christina’s engagement shoot, and Sarah & Jeff had the option to make the long trek out to the hottest place on earth as well.
A few days later, I received an email in the affirmative, or, as Sarah puts it, “… more excited than a T-Rex with grabby arms“.
And so it was: at the end of a work day, Jeff & Sarah drove to Death Valley, and met us in the middle of the night dressed in their wedding day finery. We had an AMAZING time with these two, shooting under the star-filled sky until the sun came up and the dunes were besieged by a busload of Asian tourists who decided that Jeff & Sarah made good additions to their vacation snapshots.
Making the long, hot, dusty drive to/from Death Valley was completely worth it when we had an epic weekend of shooting with clients that completely represent why we love what we do.
Thank you, Sarah & Jeff, for being such troopers!

The pictures are amazing! Really really beautiful. Am amazed that you managed to capture the beauty of the night sky and the couple so well!
[…] another astro engagement shoot done in Death […]
I just love this Death Valley shoot. I’ve done photography workshops in DV and Joshua Tree and have visited both locations for fun numerous times. DV is one of my most favorite places on Earth. I would just love to have my wedding pix taken there at night as well. These are absolutely beautiful images. Really really nice work!
Thank you, Kim! Both are such gorgeous locations. Glad you’re enjoying them and sharing the beauty of these places.
