Pacific Cliffs: Natural Bridges & Lighthouse Field.

48 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.

From there we drove down to Lighthouse Field for the back end of the day, when the sand catches pink and the marine layer comes in to flatten everything.

A half-day, in pieces. We worked each location for thirty to forty minutes, then moved on. Different light, different backdrops, but the same loose direction throughout.

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.
