Let’s talk about Sierra and Ernie’s stunning engagement shoot. I was thrilled when we discussed this shoot over a call. When I asked if they were open to getting a little wet, their response was an enthusiastic “absolutely!” Right then, I knew it would be a tremendously enjoyable session.

One crucial aspect, in my opinion, is striking a balance between directing poses and allowing for authentic moments to unfold. The best photo shoots are the ones that give space for couples to be themselves while also ensuring their comfort. I never want to deliver an album filled with stiff, posed photos. On the other hand, I also understand the importance of providing some guidance and direction.

Ultimately, a perfect session culminates in authentic images that truly capture the essence of each couple. And I believe this beach shoot serves as a remarkable example of that!
