Waking up at 5 am in the morning for a session, is not my idea of fun. haha But, once I arrived and saw the view and the sunshine; I was sold!

      Caroline & George An East Beach Norfolk Engagement Session George and Caroline traveled from New York for a quick East Beach engagement session in Norfolk. We went for some safe Save the Date options and then head out towards the beach for some creative shots and to simply enjoy the time.  They are lovely and beautiful together. After the sunset was gone, they trusted me to continue making them some silhouette images. These are some of my favorite silhouette images so far!
