High Above the Water at Gray Whale Cove.

How it went

There's a window at Gray Whale Cove between four and six in the afternoon where the cliffs catch direct light and the water turns deep teal. That's when we shot.

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.

Big drop, big wind, one small question. That ratio is why cliff proposals hold up.

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.
