How it went

Cliffside light at Seacliff State Beach is the kind that makes everything look bigger. We caught the last hour of sun, with surf breaking on the rocks below and nobody else in the 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.

The view does most of the work. The couple does the rest. 30 photos of one quiet hour at the edge of the Pacific.

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.
