Retro Palm Springs Engagement Photos at the Trixie Motel | Aesha + Scott

The Trixie Motel is already iconic, but Aesha and Scott pushed it over the top with their outfits and full vibe. I always recommend having a date before or after your engagement sesh like thrifting for your outfits! Aesha and Scott did just that by going to the local Palm Springs Goodwill and getting the most epic retro engagement photo outfits to match Trixie Motel. We ran around the pool, chased that dreamy Palm Springs light, and finished things out near the wind turbines for a completely different feel. Palm Springs has always had my heart but these will forever be etched in my heart like my own personal postcards.

Aesha is the Chief Stew on Bravo TV’S Below Deck Mediterranean and her fiance, Scott, is a speed flyer (literally makes my heart drop watching the videos) and their love story was seriously written in the stars. After meeting in high school and then reconnecting later on in life, their story reminds me so much of my own with my husband. When I pitched the idea of Trixie Motel to them, I honestly wasn’t sure if they would like this kind of vibe but how could you not match Aesha Scott with the brightest, bubbliest and most gorgeous place in Palm Springs??

That’s the magic of Palm Springs engagement photos. You get the color, texture, vast desert with canyons, mid-century everything and nostalgic light that you will not find anywhere else. For couples wanting non-traditional engagement photos, Palm Springs gives you so much room to do something with actual personality.

What I loved most about this session was the contrast. Poolside and playful at the motel, then out in the desert with those big ass windmills and the sun setting around us. This is exactly why Palm Springs couples photos hit so hard - you can get two completely different vibes within a 15 minute drive of one another.

If you’re dreaming of retro engagement photos in Palm Springs or looking for a spot that is incredibly unique, this is it.
