Sea Cliffs and Golden Light at Natural Bridges.

28 edited photos · Natural Bridges, Santa Cruz

How it went

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

Direction was minimal. A few prompts, a few suggestions for where to look or what to do with hands, then we got out of the way and let it happen. The best photos came from in-between moments.

Wind, height, the silence between waves. Cliff proposals stick, and not just because of the photos.

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.
