We photographed Kevin and Anastacia's e. session down at La Jolla Cove. We try to encourage couples to pick a location that means something to them, and the beach was perfect for this couple. They were a ton of fun to be around and a rich red sunset gave us some wonderful warm tones.

Technique notes:
We used artificial lighting in every shot, both to darken the ambient as well as balance the Sun's harsh shadow. Late in the afternoon, Anastacia gave us the challenge to shoot a few photographs them in front of the sunset, but with a twist. She did not want to be a silhouette. In the final two images we used a modified portable strobe balanced within 1/3-stop of ambient. By doing this we put out enough light to clearly see our subjects without causing the unnatural look of two Suns.

Please enjoy this small snippet of our session!

Love,

Jordan
