How it went

There's a moment at Manhattan Beach / Ritz Carlton HMB just before the sun drops where the sky and the sand go the same color. We made sure to be there for that.

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.

Twelve months from now they'll point to one of these 18 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.
