The Historic Cree Estate in Palm Springs, California

Emily and Nima’s destination wedding weekend at the historic Cree Estate felt like the perfect blend of who they are — a celebration shaped by two cultures, shared traditions, and all the people they love gathered in the desert. Palm Springs has this way of making everything feel both relaxed and radiant, and their weekend leaned into that completely. Warm days spent around the pool, friends drifting in and out of conversation, the mountains quietly watching over it all.

By the time the wedding day arrived, it felt less like an event and more like an experience — one shaped by color, light, and the easy warmth of being together in a place that invites everyone to slow down. A weekend where the desert didn’t just set the scene… it softened everything, held everyone close, and made each moment feel even more vivid.

Every image featured here was created on film — a blend of 35mm and medium format that gives the weekend its timeless, textured feel.
