One of the reasons I enjoy engagement photos on the beach in Galveston is because there is so much versatility! You get to work with beautiful lighting changes. You can dress it up to be formal or keep it casual. No matter what, the images always seem to be the perfect balance of playful, romantic, and emotional.

We started off Kendra and Jon Michael’s engagement session during golden hour when the sun was still high. This created such a dreamy glow! This was perfect for capturing the sand dunes!

When sunset hit the sky filled with gorgeous oranges and pinks so we ran to the water…it was STUNNING!

As the sunset turned into blue hour, we decided to end with a few photos of in the water. I love how moody and romantic these turned out!
