Parker Palm Springs Wedding in Southern California

I say this a lot, but traveling for weddings is my absolute favorite thing. My friend Katie Edwards, a Los Angeles based photographer, knows this and asked me if I wanted to shoot with her during my off-season. I flew out west in March to photograph a Parker Palm Springs wedding for Allie & Neal. I’ve always loved the Parker Palm Springs hotel with its iconic orange door and white wall, midcentury modern decor, and bougainvillea (my favorite flower of all time) around every corner. A couple years back I fell in love with this area on a solo road trip. Believe it or not, Palm Springs in early spring is still really warm, and it was great to get out of the freezing Philly temps and into the mid-80’s of southern California. Allie and Neal’s wedding day was such a celebration of family and love, and a goldmine of those candid moments I love so much. A big thanks to Katie for letting me shoot this one with her! Here are some of my favorite moments from their day.
