We see an abundance of epic scenery here at Junebug Weddings, but the Imperial Sand Dunes in California might top our list for its incredible vastness and extraordinary texture. When Michael Ryu Photography sent over Jiah and Timothy’s engagement session, it literally took our breaths away and we knew we had to share it. A couple of casual outfits, a sand-covered blanket, and a larger-than-life love shared between this couple made for a truly phenomenal set of engagement photos that we can’t take our eyes off of!
