This couple was lucky enough to have the entire Palm Springs cacterium to themselves for their first look—and according to photographer India Earl, it’s a popular tourist spot. “The light coming in was so beautiful, and I wanted to showcase how soft and glowy it was so I placed them apart, gazing at each other across all of the needles,” she explains. “I remember squeezing back into the door as far as I could as a 24mm was the widest lens I had on me and the space was pretty narrow and tight.”
