Why Choose a Beach Location?

A beach engagement session offers light, movement, and emotion in its rawest form. Whether it’s soft golden hour light, windswept hair, or walking barefoot across the sand, the sea always brings a sense of freedom and spontaneity to your shoot.

Every beach shoot feels like an adventure — a chance to lean into the elements and enjoy a shared experience as much as the images themselves.

Weather Suitability

Overcast skies can be flattering and add softness to the water and sand. Stormy conditions often create the most memorable images — think windswept silhouettes and crashing waves. That said, beaches are fully exposed, so we'll always keep an eye on tides and forecasts, and plan flexibly if needed.

Best for couples:

  • Who love natural light, wind, and spontaneous movement

  • Who want a fun, free-spirited experience

  • Who don’t mind a bit of sand and embrace imperfection

  • Who may want to bring a dog or make a day of it
