Virginia Beach Vacation Couples Session- A Night on the Beach
This couple came to Virginia Beach for vacation and decided to book a Virginia Beach couples session while they were here. Honestly, I love when people do this. Vacations fly by so quickly, and having photos captured by a Virginia Beach family photographer is such a wonderful way to hold onto the trip and make memories you will remember for years to come.
From the start, they were so easygoing. They laughed together and made it impossible not to smile behind the camera. It felt like I was behind the camera capturing a date at sunset.
The shore was showing off too. The waves were huge from Hurricane Erin and the sky had all the stunning shades you hope for, and the breeze kept everything moving in a way that feels alive in photos. Virginia Beach always makes such a pretty backdrop, but this evening was special!
And yes, their pups joined in! Pets make sessions so personal, and I love when families bring them along. They are such a big part of our lives and are our family so it is so special to include them. A few snuggles in the sand, a lot of tail wags, and plenty of laughter later… the four of them had memories that felt like their vacation.
Why Book a Couples Session on Vacation?
So often, one person is behind the phone snapping quick pictures on their phone and it means you never end up in them together. Hiring a Virginia Beach photographer changes that. You both get to be in the frame while someone else worries about the angles, the light, and the timing.
A vacation session at Virginia Beach gives you something different than selfies or snapshots. These photos aren’t just about what you looked like. They capture how it felt to be here. Life feels lighter while on vacation and it is so nice to have images that will last a lifetime.
Planning Your Virginia Beach Vacation?
If you’re coming to Virginia Beach, set aside a morning or evening for pictures. Whether it is capturing your family playing on the beach or more posed images at sunset, book a session. I would love to capture your trip so you have images frozen in time for you to remember years to come. I often think about my personal images of my family and I when we had a photo session on vacation and I am so happy we did. It brings back such happy memories when I look at them and reminds me too just how fast time goes.
Virginia Beach is full of gorgeous spots, from the wide-open shoreline to the hidden little stretches of beach that feel more private and even some natural parks. Whether it’s for an anniversary, a honeymoon, or just because you want to celebrate your trip, a couples or family session is such a meaningful way to remember your time here.
Final Thoughts
This session was a reminder that the best photos happen when people are simply enjoying each other and also just how important it is to capture our lives where we are at.
If you’re planning a Virginia Beach vacation and want photos that feel like you, I’d love to be part of it. Years from now, you’ll look back at your gallery and not only see the ocean behind you, but remember how it felt to be there.
