We met at Manhattan Beach / Ritz Carlton HMB an hour before sunset. The tide was right, the light was right, the beach was empty enough to feel private.
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.
The kind of late-afternoon shoot that turns into a story at the rehearsal dinner a year later.
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.

Holding a date costs you nothing. We plan it together, and you pay same-day, once the shoot wraps.
