Let's Take a Stroll Through the Woods


And I'll show you how much I love you.


After parking our cars, this cute couple headed for the beach. I couldn't help but notice the light peeking through the trees across the road. I asked them if we could quickly head into the woods for a few photos. I could tell Ran (the bride) was thinking, but I want beach photos. I promised her we would get beach photos, but forest photos would be special in their own way.

The trails in the wooded park at Spanish Banks were especially beautiful in the late afternoon. After I snapped a quick photo of Ran and showed it to her, she was on board with the forest setting.

Without prompting either of them, these two got into the whole fairy-tale vibe. They were acting and giggling, and just being sweet. I could tell they really loved each other.

The sun was getting low quite quickly, and the only real request that Ran had for their Spanish Banks portrait session, was a picture on the beach with the sun setting over the ocean. So out of the forest and toward the beach we went.
