A sunrise elopement style session at the Glamis Sand Dunes with stunning desert views and romantic golden light.
We woke up at 2:30 a.m. to make the drive out for this Glamis Sand Dunes sunrise session, and it was 1000% worth it. Sunrise is the perfect time out here — the sand is untouched, the light is soft and golden, and you don’t have to worry about the summer heat hurting your feet. Alexandra Jauregui from Floral Event Design Studio created a gorgeous bouquet that added the perfect pop of color against the vast desert landscape. The dunes themselves are endless, creating a natural backdrop that feels right out of a movie. How is this in Southern California and not the Sahara?! Brooke and Ansel navigated the sand like pros and we were rewarded with the most breath-taking photos I think I’ve ever taken.
From candid laughter to still, romantic portraits, Glamis gave us everything we hoped for.

























If you’re dreaming of engagement photos in the desert or a unique location for your session, the Imperial Sand Dunes (Glamis Sand Dunes) are one of the most breathtaking spots in Southern California. Between the untouched morning light and the sweeping landscape, it’s the perfect setting for adventurous couples who want something unforgettable.
