"Christine, the bride, is an artist who absolutely loves all things retro. She and her high school sweetheart, Alan, wanted to do something extra special for their long-awaited engagement session. Christine gathered beautiful vintage gowns, a friend's coral classic Cadillac, and floral accents from Shindig Chic to create a cool, stylized session. We began our day with colorful backdrops at the Saguaro and Ace Hotels, then moved to residential areas at sunset for a classic Palm Springs Mid-Century Modern setting. These two are such style icons and the result was truly stunning!" - Mary Costa Photography
