Most of my bridal couples are quick to confess their camera shyness. It’s a common fear, I get it! That’s why I always recommend an engagement shoot. It’s a smooth way to spend some quality time with your wedding photographer, getting comfortable in front of the camera, and creating beautiful images that you can use on your wedding website, save-the-dates, or simply to share with the world.
Ming and Elroy were no exception. Knowing they’d be in front of my lens for their big day, they wisely opted for this black sands beach engagement shoot. How’s the engagement shoot going to be? The shoot doesn’t have to be forced or posed, just a relaxed walk, often early morning or at sunset when the light is most beautiful. I will talk you through the shoot to ensure that nothing is forced or posed, just natural and fun moments.
Well for Ming and Elroy, their choice of location was Bali’s well known black sand beach located in Canggu. This wasn’t your typical beach setting. The black volcanic sand, the towering rock formations, and the ancient temple created a raw, untamed beauty that was the perfect backdrop for their black sands beach engagement photo session.
Our bride to be, looked pretty, in a white flowery dress that seemed to dance with the wind, and our groom to be, with a relaxed charm that mirrored the beach’s laid back vibe, were a perfect match. Their laughter was the soundtrack to their adventure, through the time they no longer felt nervous in front of the camera. And as the sun began its descent, painting the sky in hues of orange, it felt like paradise itself was giving its blessing to their engagement photo session. The result is beautiful
