There is something magic about Palm Springs, somewhere along that long and winding road from LA to the desert, all your cares fall away. Easy to get to, always sunny and warm, full of retro style that screams of yesteryear, Palm Springs is simply the ultimate destination wedding locale. We met James and Cecile during our first Palm Springs wedding a few years ago. When Cecile called from the UK and asked us to return to shoot her destination wedding at the O’donnell House we leaped at the chance.
We showed up a day early for a fun engagement shoot and knew immediately we’d have a blast with Cecile, James and their families the following day.
Cecile has a great eye for details! From her beautiful custom wedding gown created by Monique Lhuillier , her Rifle Paper Co stationary, to the amazing floral arrangements that blended in seamlessly with the Palm Springs landscapes.
I am in LOVE with the Rifle Paper Company, so much so that Chris got me my own custom stationary for Christmas!
Cecile and her sisters stole away a few moments whenever they could before the ceremony, couldn’t help but imagine Elsie and Kira on their own wedding days doing the same.
The O’Donnel House overlooks Palm Springs from high above the hillside, giving you a rare perspective of the desert. The grounds are impeccably landscaped and the house features architectural details, pottery and furniture that echo the luxury of a time gone by. Cecile was fortunate enough to be able to stay at the house on her wedding night!
