A Coastal Engagement at Capitola Beach.

How it went

We met at Capitola Beach an hour before sunset. The tide was right, the light was right, the beach was empty enough to feel private.

Two hours of slow walking and quiet direction. No awkward poses, no "say cheese," just a couple who like each other in a place that suited them. We rotated through a couple of micro-locations within the spot, picking up different angles as the sun moved.

Beach sessions have a way of making everyone slow down. Tide coming in, sun dropping, two people figuring out the next chapter together.

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.
