Bailey and Chandler finished their adventurous trip to California with a beautiful surprise proposal in Joshua Tree National Park. They first explored Channel Islands by kayak and then drove inland to Joshua Tree to see their favorite band, Futurebird, at Pappy & Harriet’s. But before the show, Chandler wanted to take Bailey to Joshua Tree National Park for a photo session that would turn into a surprise proposal and engagement session.

Chandler wanted to propose at the beginning of their engagement photo session so then they could relax and enjoy the rest of the photos as a newly engaged couple. After some fun photos celebrating, Bailey changed into the most gorgeous knit dress by Dissh. Being Texas natives, they rocked their boots and Bailey donned a cowboy hat for some beautiful western engagement style photos. We walked around the iconic joshua trees and large rock formations, taking photos and chatting along the way. The real takeaway moment for me was the stunning sunset.
