Chasing Sunsets with Nicole & Luke

Nicole and Luke were originally scheduled to get married at a destination wedding last year but then Covid hit, postponing their plans. One good thing about this set-back was that we got to spend time with them and have this sunset beachside engagement session. Luke and Andrew (my photo assistant/husband) are childhood best friends and grew up with each other not too far from where we held this session. Luke was a groomsman in our wedding and Andrew will also be a groomsman for Luke and Nicole’s wedding later this year!

Andrew and I had gone location scouting for the perfect beach spot a few days earlier but when we got to the chosen location on the date of our photoshoot, we were not prepared for the insane wind and the high tides. We quickly had to shift our original plans and drive to another beach location while also trying to make sure we didn’t run out of light, as the sun was setting. We are so grateful for Nicole and Luke’s easy-going demeanor and for battling the high wind with us on this day.

Although taking photos for them was so special the best part of the day was spending time with them, laughing over a shared dinner meal, and catching up on life. These moments seem to get rarer with each passing year and we were so thankful for this time together. It was truly special seeing them again, especially after a year of limited social gathering and lost time in seeing family and friends. Nicole and Luke we are so excited to celebrate you two later this year in Cabo!
