Intimate Badass Couple Session At Kilve Beach | Yaz & Chris / Love Story | Somerset Photographer
Anyone would think that taking photos of close friends would be easier than working with total strangers; and that's absolutely false! You can think of Yaz & Chris as the iconic badass couple built from the ground by best friends that decided to stick together for a long time. In other words, they are 100% real!
As soon as we knew they were going to take their ship to the next level, we immediately jumped up! We needed to be their engagement photographers!
Finding a wild venue that matched their raw personality wasn't the tough part of this rad engagement session. The challenge here was to cope with their bold nature so we wouldn't miss anything out from them!
Even with close friends we wouldn't dare starting a shoot with a concept in mind. And we knew exactly what we wanted for Yaz and Chris. Muted tones against their vibrant souls was the visual must, and their free-spirited nature was the main aura of the day!
One of the things that we needed to reflect was the mutual admiration/respect that these two have for each other. It is just amazing! And we tried to capture it with a simple gesture or symbol if you wish. Beyond tenderness and their childish nature, they also have some personal dreams and goals that they've decided to respect within each other.
They just don't share everything in the same way, and that's what makes this couple to be so real! The subtle gaze that avoids each others' stare symbolises that awesome gesture that we deeply admire from Yaz and Chris.
