A Two-Stop Cliffside Engagement: Stewart's Cove & Soberanes Trail.

8 edited photos · Stewart's Cove, Carmel

How it went

Stewart's Cove stretches out for miles at low tide. We timed this for the last light, when the wet sand reflects the sky and the crowd thins out to almost nobody.

Next stop was Soberanes Trail, where the cliffs play harder shadows. Different mood entirely from the first spot.

Multi-location shoots are equal parts choreography and improvisation. We mapped the order in advance, but the actual photos came from being patient at each stop until the light cooperated.

The kind of late-afternoon shoot that turns into a story at the rehearsal dinner a year later.

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.
