This session from earlier this year is still one of my favorites. I absolutely love this beach as it’s one of the more private beaches on the north shore. You have to walk about ten minutes to it but when you get to this spot, it’s always worth it. It’s filled with palm trees, calm blue water, and the most glorious sunsets. We had an extra gorgeous sunset this day! Sylvia and Timothy are my type of people. Sylvia was that client that was so excited for her shoot and was texting me weeks beforehand. I absolutely LOVE when I’m able to connect with my clients this way. It makes us both feel like immediate friends the day we finally meet each other at the shoot.

I also LOVED Sylvia’s beautiful blue dress. I talk about this often but outfits are SOOOO important on your shoot. Really taking the time to plan out what you’re wearing can be stressful but it’s so worth it and I’m always here to help! I usually recommend couples send me photos of their outfits ahead of time and if they’re having trouble choosing, I love to give suggestions. Certain colors, fabrics, and patterns just photograph better. I recommend soft, flowy fabrics and usually pastel and softer colors photograph best and won’t reflect that color onto your spouse/significant other which is the goal.

If you don’t want to buy something completely new or spend hundreds of dollars on an outfit, Rent the Runway and other rental places like Nuuly are really awesome options! I also offer a luxury collection that includes hair and makeup and outfit styling! So in this case I would put together a little board of some options that would be fun and you would be able to purchase them beforehand! I always loooove being a part of that since outfits are such an inspiring piece of the shoot for me!

But Sylvia and Timothy nailed it and didn’t need my help. Haha!! I absolutely adore these photos and hope you enjoy scrolling through them as well!
