Golden Hour
There's something undeniably magical about the golden hour—the time just before sunset when the sun casts a warm, golden glow over everything it touches. For couples planning an engagement session, this is the perfect time to capture their love story against the breathtaking backdrop of a beach. Today, I want to share the story of a romantic golden hour beach engagement session that truly encapsulates the essence of love and beauty.
The chosen location was a secluded beach, known for its stunning sunsets and tranquil ambiance. As the sun began its descent, the sky transformed into a canvas of vibrant oranges, pinks, and purples, setting the perfect stage for an unforgettable engagement session.

3 shot tips for shooting the perfect golden hour session
1.Walking Along the Shoreline
The session began with our couple walking hand-in-hand along the shoreline. The gentle waves lapping at their feet and the golden light reflecting off the water created a serene and intimate atmosphere. Capturing candid moments of the couple laughing and talking, their faces lit up with happiness.
2. Silhouette Shots
As the sun dipped lower in the sky, I captured stunning silhouette shots against the vibrant sunset. These dramatic images, with the couple's outlines sharply defined against the colorful sky, are some of the most striking and memorable from the session.
3. Playful Moments
To add a touch of fun and spontaneity, the couple kicked off their shoes and ran into the surf, splashing each other and laughing with abandon. These playful moments brought out their adventurous spirits and added a lively, joyful energy to the photos.
