Hotel Paseo Engagement Photoshoot

A Stunning Location for Your Palm Desert Session

Looking for the perfect spot for your engagement photoshoot? Look no further than the unique and stylish Hotel Paseo in Palm Desert, California. This beautiful venue offers a dreamy setting for capturing one of the most important moments of your life: your engagement. As someone who lives just down the street, I know firsthand that Hotel Paseo is not only a great place to grab a drink or bite at their restaurant, AC3, but it’s also a prime location for photoshoots.

When the hotel reached out to ask if I could photograph an engagement session, I was beyond thrilled! I arrived early to get a feel for the space and plan my shots. The setup for Andrew’s proposal was breathtaking—rose petals led the way to a large green wall decorated with vibrant Hawaiian flowers. Gold balloons floated above, spelling out the words, “Will You Marry Me?” It was such a beautiful scene, perfect for a Hotel Paseo engagement photoshoot.

Watching Vahida walk down the glass hallway toward the garden was magical. Her expression, her joy—it was everything. The entire proposal was a photographer’s dream, and I felt so lucky to be there capturing it all. Moments like these remind me why I love being a photographer, especially for engagement photoshoots in such iconic locations like Hotel Paseo.

One of the standout features of Hotel Paseo is the vintage red convertible parked in the lobby. This fun and nostalgic element makes for fantastic Instagram-worthy shots. If you’re lucky, the hotel staff might even let you pose inside the car, adding another unique touch to your engagement photoshoot.

Hotel Paseo isn’t just a hotel—it’s an experience. The ambiance, the vibe, and the picturesque spots make it an excellent choice for any couple looking to document their love. Andrew and Vahida’s session at Hotel Paseo was nothing short of magical, and I’m grateful I had the opportunity to be a part of their special day. If you’re looking for the perfect spot for your engagement session, I can’t recommend Hotel Paseo enough.

Tips for Your Engagement Photoshoot:
