Recent sessions

An hour at the end of the day

Sessions run at golden hour, when the beach empties out and the light turns generous.

How a session runs

Very little posing, and a lot of walking around

We start with a short walk and easy conversation, and the pictures follow from that. Most couples arrive nervous about being photographed and leave surprised at how little of it felt like being photographed — which is the real point, because the wedding day goes the same way once a camera stops feeling like an event.

Sample collections

Easygoing sessions with room to explore

Sample pricing only: Coastal Couples from $575, Surprise Proposal Story from $750, and a two-location Sunset Session from $900.

Each example includes location planning, relaxed direction, individually edited high-resolution files, personal printing rights, and a private online gallery. A relaxed half day along the shore, built around the light and the people in it.

Questions, answered

What time of day is best?

We plan nearly every session around golden hour, the soft hour before sunset, and confirm the exact start time for your date the week of the session.

What should we wear?

Whatever feels most like you. After booking we send a short styling guide with palettes that photograph beautifully against sand and marsh grass.

Can we bring our dog?

Please do — pets are family. Bring a leash and a helper who can step in after their portraits, and we will handle the rest.

Book a session

Pick a week and we will find the light

Give us a week or two that could work. We will come back with the evenings that catch the best light and a couple of locations worth the drive.
