A Beachside Session at Capitola Beach.

25 edited photos · Capitola Beach, Santa Cruz

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.

A relaxed ninety minutes. We walked the perimeter, found the angles that worked, and let the light do most of the heavy lifting. The couple loosened up after the first ten minutes and that's when the gallery really came together.

Twelve months from now they'll point to one of these 25 photos and say "that's the one we put on the save-the-dates."

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.
