Mid-Century Modern Palm Springs Engagement Photos With a Thunderbird

Jan 19, 2024

Oh man, I am absolutely in love with these mid-Century Modern Palm Springs engagement photos. With a vintage Thunderbird car, sunglasses, and wandering the neighborhood side streets with mountains and palm trees in the background, what more could you ask for? Keep reading to see more about Kelsey and Tom’s glamorous session!

Kelsey and Tom’s Mid Century Modern Engagement Photos in Palm Springs

“Don’t be nervous,” Kelsey said to Tom as we began their mid-Century Modern engagement session in Palm Springs. Reaching for his hand, he looked into Kelsey’s eyes and began to laugh. “I’ll try not to look awkward,” Tom replied. It was a warm and sunny day that quickly became full of laughs, kissing, and Tom replying, “This is not as hard as I thought it was going to be”. 

The Vision Behind the Palm Springs Engagement Photos

Kelsey wanted to capture the vintage essence of Palm Springs, so she wore a beautiful, sparkly vintage dress. “I want us to juxtapose our glam looks with the desert backdrops,” she said. She also wore a second outfit for her Palm Springs engagement photos that she called her “girl boss suit.” I couldn’t agree more. With a matching white suit set, feathers, and vintage sunglasses, I definitely would say she looked like a mid-Century Modern girl. Coachella Valley Classic Cars also provided the stunning classic Thunderbird for the session!

“They turned out fantastic and exactly what we hoped for. Palm Springs glamour! We’re awaiting some big prints to be framed and hung on the walls. I think Tom thinks he’s a GQ model now! hehe! They’re pictures I can’t wait to show my future kids and grandkids.” – Kelsey & Tom
