How it went

Cliffside light at Alila Ventana Big Sur is the kind that makes everything look bigger. We caught the last hour of sun, with surf breaking on the rocks below and nobody else in the shot.

Most of what looks like "posing" was actually just walking, talking, and pausing when the light hit right. We work this way on every shoot; the couple barely notices the camera by the second pass.

Wind, height, the silence between waves. Cliff proposals stick, and not just because of the photos.

The shoot
The whole shoot, not just the highlights

Here’s a few highlights from this shoot. Most photographers only ever show a static portfolio of their very best images. I think every potential client should see more than that: the full shoots themselves. Nothing sets expectations like seeing multiple sessions at one location in different weather, times of day, and seasons. We get amazing photos no matter what, and we’re not afraid to show you.
