A Coastal Engagement at Manhattan Beach / Ritz Carlton HMB.

16 edited photos · Manhattan Beach / Ritz Carlton HMB, Half Moon Bay

Beach light at Manhattan Beach / Ritz Carlton HMB does something soft and warm to skin tones at sunset. We worked the last ninety minutes, walking the tide line for changing angles.

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.

Sand, salt, late sun, and the start of whatever comes next. The photos are a small part of why it'll stick.

Want yours here next?

No deposit. No commitment. We plan it together. Payment is due same-day after the shoot wraps.
