Growing up in Northern California’s Bay Area, one of my favorite things to do every summer was go to the Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk. With carousels, ferris wheels, roller coasters and more, beach boardwalks are the perfect spot for a fun-loving couple to take their engagement photos. And these gorgeous shots from Feather & Twine Photography are exactly why. See all the fun here.
From Feather & Twine Photography… Vivian and Kevin came to us with the idea of wanting their engagement session to be really, really FUN. They are currently in a long distance relationship because of jobs and grad school, so when they get to be together they truly live each moment full of intention. Vivian told us that she really loved the travel photos that Talon and I take when we are on trips together, and that they wanted their engagements to have that same vibe and instantly our heads were spinning with ideas. We had just moved to Austin, so we traveled down to Kemah to meet these two and it truly was like a play date with friends in a new city. They were unafraid to be charismatic, goofy and playful in front of the camera and that is truly what makes all the difference in an engagement session. It allowed us to take their love and truly photograph it in all it’s essence.
From the Bride and Groom… We wanted the engagement shoot to capture what our lives are with each other. We’re just two kids, who happen to be adults, exploring the world together with childlike wonder. For us, the engagement shoot felt so natural because we didn’t feel like we were under the scrutiny of a camera lens. We took a walk, took in the view, rode the Ferris wheel, and talked on a bench. We just let ourselves be swept away by a day of fun with two new friends, Kelsey and Talon.
