Palm Springs wedding photographer

Nick and Cait’s Palm Springs hotel wedding was a pretty perfect weekend getaway at the Colony Palms Hotel! The Philadelphia-based couple brought their family and friends to the California desert to celebrate, and Wild Heart Events made sure it was an affair to remember.

This rad couple met when they were just 14! Caitlyn’s sister dated Nick’s older brother in high school; Cait and Nick started as friends and eventually became high school sweethearts. They went off to college at Penn State together, but the school wasn’t a good fit for Caitlyn, and the couple broke up for awhile. After a 10-year hiatus, the stars aligned and they found themselves together again. How sweet a story is that?! They even spent some time as a long-distance couple while Caitlyn pursued her fashion career in NYC (she’s now a dress buyer for Anthropologie — DREAM JOB).

Nick proposed during a weekend getaway to Sonoma; he got on one knee at dinner one night, and Cait said she “literally blacked out. I don’t know what he said or did. I actually didn’t even agree to it. But it was the happiest moment.”

Here are some favorite shots as Caitlyn and Nick’s Palm Springs wedding photographer! And for more Palm Springs goodness, here’s Dara and Chad’s wedding at Colony 29!
