Sand Dune Engagement Session // Monterey California Engagement Session Bradly and Nicole

I’m shooting Bradly and Nicole’s elopement in Santa Cruz later this year and I was so excited to show them one of my favorite new locations in Monterey for their engagement session. I’ve always wanted to do a dune session and I scouted different dune spots for months! When I found this location It was covered in foot tracks but I knew with the right elements it could look almost deserted. Come Nicole and Bradley’s engagement session Nicole was nervous about the wind advisory but I was ecstatic when I saw how the sand was moving and what Nicole was wearing! I will always be more of a fan of the unexpected than the perfect.

Nicole is a Nurse and Bradly is an EMT so they had been up all night at work before this and were such stars running around the dunes together at sunset. I can’t wait for their NIsene Marks elopement in Santa Cruz in a few months.
