Bougainvillea Estate Wedding | Lindsay & John | Palm Springs Wedding Photographer - Gilmore Studios wedding, family, newborn, maternity, and event photographers

La Quinta wedding photographers

We immediately hit it off with Lindsay and John at their engagement session in Laguna Beach! When they told us about their wedding venue, we were even more excited because it was a photographers dream! The Bougainvillea Estate is a 14,000 square foot home that sits on 5 acres in La Quinta, CA (minutes from Indio and Palm Springs) With beautiful architecture, lush green lawns, and even a lake. We were amazed that a home like this could be rented out for weddings! The Events Department were the wedding coordinators/designers. Peggy and her team were awesome to work with! They have been coordinating gorgeous weddings/events in the area since 1988! The caterers from Le Vallauris were exquisite. They even got Jennifer to try some food that she would normally never like – and she loved it!

The wedding day was a scorching 120 degrees (which is not normal for this time of year)! The wedding was supposed to be outside on the grass but since the weather was not cooperating, it was moved indoors into the living room to make sure the guests and wedding party did not melt in the sun. This was the first time the home had an indoor ceremony and it looked great. The guests and Lindsay and John enjoyed themselves during cocktail hour while the sun started to set. Although it was hot – that didn’t stop the guests from enjoying themselves immensely throughout the day and into the evening. We are so happy for Lindsay and John starting this next chapter of their lives and wish them only the best! 🙂 xoxoxoxo
