Fantasy Engagement Session

To say it was an amazing experience photographing these two would be an understatement. This couple shares the most beautiful joy and deep affection for each other. In the last minute, I heard they were coming in costume, which made them all the more breathtaking to photograph. They danced the evening away in the golden hour and finished with a splash in the ocean!

They make a wonderful visual representation of two worlds coming together, with Yonita being Dutch and Kojo Ghanian. I first met Yonita in high school and was really excited when asked to capture her wedding and engagement session. Knowing that Yoni had an ‘up for anything’ adventurous spirit, I knew this engagement session would be a whole lot of fun.

As I photographed Yoni and Kwadwo running down the beach together I imagined him rescuing her from her dragon protected castle. I mentioned this to my husband as we drove home from the photo shoot. Knowing he is an amazing artist, I asked him to bring the idea to life with a digital drawing which you’ll see in the blog post. Digital Illustration: Shallsoar
