Golden Hour Beach Engagement Photo Session | Playa Manuel Antonio Costa Rica | Destination Elopement Photographer
Ok,
so this golden hour Playa Manuel Antonio beach engagement photo session is probably one of my all-time favorite photoshoots to date.
The golden hour light we got…was simply…incredible.
Can you say dreamy x 1,000?
Once we all met in the parking lot
and walked over to our little spot on the beach, took our shoes off and started shooting…I was so excited to see what my camera was capturing.
Manuel Antonio beach just has the MOST incredible combination of sunlight, rock formations, soft sands, lush palm trees, cool ocean water—and not to mention—at the end of it all, the most amazing sunset views (stay tuned for those shots later).📸
In the meantime, we climbed to the top of a super cool rock formation.😂
I freaking love these…
Did I mention there was a lot of smooching? Well, there was—and I’m here for it (and am mostly the one who encourages it) 😘
As I saw the sun starting to hit the top of the horizon line
we hopped back on over to our little corner spot on the beach!
Warning: things got a litttttle wet & sandy… and by a little, I mean we were pretty much totally submerged by the end of it (and a lot sandy)
But when my clients are down to get quite literally dirty in the name of some beautiful shots, I’m all in too!😆
Okay, remember when I told you
to stay tuned for the most amazing sunset shots ever? Ok, ok, ok…
Just look.
At these.
Colors.
Yeah, I have no words either.
Jaw is dropped. Never will not be dropped when I see these.
You know that popular Instagram/Reel sound going around that goes “all this needs is a frame and it would be art”?
Well, you get the point.
As the sun started to fall lower and lower
we soaked up as MUCH golden light as possible before catching some shots all snuggled up with wet butts on the sand!
P.s. I really hated my decision of wearing long flowy pants this day. Note taken—will never be making that mistake again.
and then the sun said “peace”
And that was a wrap!
Every session is always so special to me. Meeting new people from all over the world—every single one having different personalities and stories.
Thank you, so deeply, from my heart to yours for trusting me to capture such beautiful moments and memories—chapters, in your life.
Honestly, to be able to gift somebody with the digital/physical image of a time, or a space, or an emotion…is so magical and wonderful to me.
It makes me feel so proud to do what I do and to work with the individuals that I get to work with—even if it’s only for a few moments in the grand scheme of life.
My heart is full.🤍
Until next time…
