Today, I got to shoot an amazing young couple at the beach. Who doesn't love the beach?! And you can never go wrong with some love birds thrown into the mix! We got to the beach with plenty of time to play with the sun, and I brought my reflector along to try out some new things. This is where it would be SO helpful if I had an assistant or apprentice! The wind kept blowing the reflector off of the tripod I was balancing it against...and as it is, getting it in just the right spot by balancing it is impossible!!!
Here is a before shot with no reflector and no editing to the left, and an edited shot with the reflector used on the right! I'm pleased with the results, but they would have been better if I was able to clone myself! At least for when I have shoots needing the reflector!
I playfully told this couple that now that I've shot them, they can never break up. Everyone I've ever shot has ended up getting married, which is true. I just love putting the pressure on! She already had a ring, but to be clear she isn't engaged. She was so nervous about people watching during the shoot, but I worked my magic and made those worries fizzle away. It was funny that at one point I brought them down to the water to do some shots and there was a lady who immediately asked if they were getting married, and then proceeded to call her husband over from the other side of the beach, to have him watch! I think that the audience made them work the camera even more!
This was SUCH a fun shoot! I love when couples aren't afraid to get down and dirty! Especially because I'm more than ready to get down and dirty with them, and this was no exception. I rolled up my pants and waded into the water, and the waves definitely hit high and one point and soaked me from my thighs down! After the shoot they even brought me to get dinner, very sweet!
