Dreamy Bellingham Couples Photoshoot

I loved doing this dreamy couples photoshoot for my sister and her beau. They wanted to dress up fancy and get some candid shots, of course, I couldn't say no! We decided to shoot during golden hour and get some fun nighttime shots. My sister’s dress was so cute and sparkly, it worked really well in both of these lighting situations.

We started off at Locust Beach (a Bellingham native staple) during golden hour. We loved the empty field and the moon hanging in the sky like it was there just for our photoshoot. Then we made our way to Zuanich Point Park which always has the most beautiful views of the ocean and Bellingham. Lastly, we ended up taking photos downtown with some classic mural shots and some candid walking-around moments. I think they looked like movie stars!

I love having movement in my photography. It helps with getting more authentic-looking photos, compared to just everything looking posed. I also find that it helps your subjects feel more relaxed and have more fun. It feels like you’re hanging out with some friends, rather than having a serious photoshoot which can feel overwhelming for some people. Personally, I am a huge fan of some blur so movement shots help with getting that effect as well.

This shoot was done in July of 2021, I am just finally finding the time to update my website!
